For subpixel object detection, the dimensional extent of the object of interest is smaller than an individual pixel, which significantly diminishes the utility of spatial information pertaining to the object. Therefore, the efficacy of detection algorithms depends heavily on the spectral data inherent in the image. The detection of subpixel objects in hyperspectral imagery primarily relies on the suppression of the background and the enhancement of the object of interest. Hence, acquiring accurate background information from HSI images is a crucial step. In this study, an adaptive background endmember extraction for hyperspectral subpixel object detection is proposed. An adaptive scale constraint is incorporated into the background spectral endmember learning process to improve the adaptability of background endmember extraction, thus further enhancing the algorithm\u2019s generalizability and applicability in diverse analytical scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that the adaptive endmember extraction-based subpixel object detection algorithm consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of detection efficacy on both simulated and real-world datasets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16122245","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,20]],"date-time":"2024-06-20T11:42:03Z","timestamp":1718883723000},"page":"2245","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Adaptive Background Endmember Extraction for Hyperspectral Subpixel Object Detection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Lifeng","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Institute of Remote Sensing Information, Beijing 100011, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaorui","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Institute of Remote Sensing Information, Beijing 100011, China"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Institute of Remote Sensing Information, Beijing 100011, China"}]},{"given":"Zhuo","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Institute of Remote Sensing Information, Beijing 100011, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5519011","DOI":"10.1109\/TGRS.2023.3300688","article-title":"LiCa: Label-indicate-conditional-alignment domain generalization for pixel-wise hyperspectral imagery classification","volume":"61","author":"Gao","year":"2023","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
