This paper develops a spatial potential energy weighted maximum simplex algorithm (SPEW) for hyperspectral endmember extraction, combining the relevance of hyperspectral spatial context with spectral information to effectively extract endmembers. Specifically, for pixels in a uniform spatial area, SPEW assigns a high weight to pixels with higher spatial potential energy. For pixels scattered in a spatial area, the high weights are assigned to the representative pixels with a smaller spectral angle distance. Then, the optimal endmember collection is determined by the simplex with maximum volume in the space of representative pixels. SPEW not only reduces the complexity of searching for the maximum simplex volume but also improves the performance of endmember extraction. In particular, compared with other newly proposed spatial-spectral hyperspectral endmember extraction methods, SPEW can effectively extract the hidden endmembers in a spatial area without adjusting any parameters. Experiments on synthetic and real data show that the SPEW algorithm has also provides better results than the traditional algorithms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14051192","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,28]],"date-time":"2022-02-28T20:11:57Z","timestamp":1646079117000},"page":"1192","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Spatial Potential Energy Weighted Maximum Simplex Algorithm for Hyperspectral Endmember Extraction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Meiping","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Science and Technology College, Dalian Maritime University, Dalian 116026, China"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Science and Technology College, Dalian Maritime University, Dalian 116026, China"}]},{"given":"Tingting","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Science and Technology College, Dalian Maritime University, Dalian 116026, China"}]},{"given":"Dayong","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhengzhou Tobacco Research Institute of CNTC, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.1109\/MGRS.2013.2244672","article-title":"Hyperspectral remote sensing data analysis and future challenges","volume":"1","author":"Plaza","year":"2013","journal-title":"IEEE Geosci.
