A comparative study of signal transformation techniques in automated spectral unmixing of infrared spectra for remote sensing applications

From geological and planetary exploration perspectives, automated sub-pixel classification of hyperspectral data is the most difficult task as it involves blind unmixing with library spectra of minerals. In this study, we demonstrate a procedure involving spectral transformation and linear unmixing to achieve the above task. For this purpose, infrared spectra of rocks from the spectral library, field, and remotely sensed hyperspectral image cube...
