The radiance of thermal infrared hyperspectral imagery is determined by the temperature and emissivity. To avoid the detection uncertainty caused by the single factor of temperature, emissivity can be introduced to detect anomalies. However, in the emissivity domain, the spectral contrast and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are low, which makes it difficult to separate the anomalies from the background. In this paper, an anomaly detection method combining emissivity and a segmented low-rank prior (EaSLRP) is proposed for use with thermal infrared hyperspectral imagery. The EaSLRP method is divided into three parts\u20141) temperature\/emissivity retrieval, 2) extraction of the thermal infrared hyperspectral background information, and 3) Mahalanobis distance detection. A homogeneous region generation method is also proposed to solve the problem of the complex global background leading to inaccurate background estimation. The GoDec method is used for matrix decomposition and background information extraction and to remove some of the noise. The proposed Mahalanobis distance detector then uses the background component and original image for anomaly detection, while highlighting the spectral difference between the anomalies and background. This method can also suppress the influence of noise, to some extent. The experimental results obtained with airborne Fourier transform thermal infrared spectrometer hyperspectral images demonstrate that the EaSLRP method is effective when compared with the Reed\u2013Xiaoli detector (RXD), the segmented RX detector (SegRX), the low-rank and sparse representation-based detector (LRASR), the low-rank and sparse matrix decomposition (LRaSMD)-based Mahalanobis distance method (LSMAD), and the locally enhanced low-rank prior method (LELRP-AD).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13040754","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,18]],"date-time":"2021-02-18T21:59:58Z","timestamp":1613685598000},"page":"754","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Anomaly Detection in Airborne Fourier Transform Thermal Infrared Spectrometer Images Based on Emissivity and a Segmented Low-Rank Prior"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Xuhe","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Hubei Provincial Engineering Research Center of Natural Resources Remote Sensing Monitoring, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2945-2708","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liqin","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Provincial Engineering Research Center of Natural Resources Remote Sensing Monitoring, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"School of Printing and Packaging, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shaoyu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Hubei Provincial Engineering Research Center of Natural Resources Remote Sensing Monitoring, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lyuzhou","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Hubei Provincial Engineering Research Center of Natural Resources Remote Sensing Monitoring, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9446-5850","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yanfei","family":"Zhong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Hubei Provincial Engineering Research Center of Natural Resources Remote Sensing Monitoring, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Chang, C.I.
