However, the limitation of the previous methods is that only single-layer detection is carried out, which is not sufficient to discriminate the target parts from complex background spectra accurately. In this paper, we introduce a hierarchical structure to the traditional algorithm matched filter (MF). Because of the advantages of MF in target separation performance, that is, the background components are suppressed while preserving the targets, the detection result of MF is used to further suppress the background components in a cyclic iterative manner. In each iteration, the average output of the previous iteration is used as a suppression criterion to distinguish these pixels judged as backgrounds in the current iteration. To better stand out the target spectra from the background clutter, HSI spectral input and the given target spectrum are whitened and then used to construct the MF in the current iteration. Finally, we provide the corresponding proofs for the convergence of the output and suppression criterion. Experimental results on three classical hyperspectral datasets confirm that the proposed method performs better than some traditional and recently proposed methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21010144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,28]],"date-time":"2020-12-28T10:33:56Z","timestamp":1609151636000},"page":"144","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Hierarchical Suppression Based Matched Filter for Hyperspertral Imagery Target Detection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Ce","family":"Gao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 211106, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yiquan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 211106, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaohui","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 211106, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,28]]},"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.
