Abstract

The concept of virtual dimensionality (VD) has been developed for estimating the number of spectrally distinctive signals in a hyperspectral image. It has important applications in hyperspectral image analysis. For instance, it is related to the number of classes in classification and the number of endmembers in linear mixture analysis; an appropriate VD estimate will facilitate the related algorithm implementation and improve their performance. In this paper, we will evaluate several VD estimation approaches, including a Neyman-Pearson Detection based method and a Signal Subspace Estimation based method. In particular, we will discuss how the noise estimation affects the accuracy of VD estimate.
