Recursive Band Processing of Orthogonal Subspace Projection for Hyperspectral Imagery

摘要

Recursive band processing of orthogonal subspace projection (RBP-OSP) is developed according to the band sequential (BSQ) format acquired by a hyperspectral imaging sensor. It can be implemented band by band recursively without waiting for data being completely collected. This is particularly important for satellite communication when data download is limited by bandwidth and transmission. Unlike band selection which requires prior knowledge of how many bands are needed to be selected, RBP-OSP has capability which allows different process units to process data whenever bands are available. In addition, it also enables users to identify significant bands during data processing. Finally and most importantly, RBP can provide progressive profiles on OSP performance, which is the best advantage that RBP-OSP can offer and cannot be accomplished by any one-shot operator.
