14.1 Introduction
LSMA has shown success in solving a variety of problems, such as subpixel detection, mixed pixel classification, quantification, etc. It assumes that there are p image endmembers,
, and any image pixel vector r is a linear mixture of these p endmembers with appropriate abundance fractions,
, with αj corresponding to the abundance fraction of the jth endmember mj as follows:
where n is interpreted as a model or measurement error and
is the endmember matrix formed by
. Because of mathematical tractability, LSMA is widely implemented without imposing any constraint on the abundance fractions
of the image endmembers
. However, it has been shown in the literature, for example, Chang (2003a), that AC-LSMA can improve abundance-unconstrained LSMA in many aspects, such as ...
