However, most conventional detection algorithms only utilize the spatial spectral information and rarely employ the temporal spectral information. Besides, multiple targets in complex motion situations, such as multiple targets at different velocities and dense targets on the same trajectory, are still challenges for moving target detection. To address these problems, we propose a novel constrained sparse representation-based spatio-temporal anomaly detection algorithm that extends AD from the spatial domain to the spatio-temporal domain. Our algorithm includes a spatial detector and a temporal detector, which play different roles in moving target detection. The former can suppress moving background regions, and the latter can suppress non-homogeneous background and stationary objects. Two temporal background purification procedures maintain the effectiveness of the temporal detector for multiple targets in complex motion situations. Moreover, the smoothing and fusion of the spatial and temporal detection maps can adequately suppress background clutter and false alarms on the maps. Experiments conducted on a real dataset and a synthetic dataset show that the proposed algorithm can accurately detect multiple targets with different velocities and dense targets with the same trajectory and outperforms other state-of-the-art algorithms in high-noise scenarios.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12172783","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,27]],"date-time":"2020-08-27T08:05:18Z","timestamp":1598515518000},"page":"2783","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A Constrained Sparse-Representation-Based Spatio-Temporal Anomaly Detector for Moving Targets in Hyperspectral Imagery Sequences"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4985-9583","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhaoxu","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4937-5420","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qiang","family":"Ling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhengyan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zaiping","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Borengasser, M., Hungate, W.S., and Watkins, R.
