5 May 2008Statistical methods for analysis of hyperspectral anomaly detectors
Most hyperspectral (HS) anomaly detectors in the literature have been evaluated using a few HS imagery sets to
estimate the well-known ROC curve. Although this evaluation approach can be helpful in assessing detectors' rates of
correct detection and false alarm on a limited dataset, it does not shed lights on reasons for these detectors' strengths
and weaknesses using a significantly larger sample size. This paper discusses a more rigorous approach to testing and
comparing HS anomaly detectors, and it is intended to serve as a guide for such a task. Using randomly generated
samples, the approach introduces hypothesis tests for two idealized homogeneous sample experiments, where model
parameters can vary the difficulty level of these tests. These simulation experiments are devised to address a more
generalized concern, i.e., the expected degradation of correct detection as a function of increasing noise in the
alternative hypothesis.
