Application for number of endmembers estimation in hyperspectral images.
Rationale
There are two classes in OTB for estimating the number of endmembers in hyperspectral images,
one implementing the virtual dimensionality algorithm and the other using the
Eigenvalue Likelihood Maximization algorithm, but there are no application corresponding
to these algorithm.
This MR adds an application for the endmember number estimation. The application
will first compute the covariance and correlation matrices of the input image using a
otb::StreamingStatisticsVectorImageFilter and then use a EigenvalueLikelihoodMaximisation
or a VirtualDimensionality object with the computed statistics to output an estimation
of the number of endmembers.
Implementation Details
Classes and files
New file otbEndmemberNumberEstimation.cxx where the new application is implemented.
Applications
A new application has been created : EndmemberNumberEstimation, it has the following parameters :
in : input multi-channel image
number: number of endmembers
algo : chosen algorithm
elm : eigenvalue likelihood maximization
vd : virtual dimensionality
algo.vd.far : false alarm rate for the virtual dimensionality algorithm.
ram : ram parameter
Tests
New validation tests for both algorithms.
