Shadow Detection And Restoration For Hyperspectral Images Based On Nonlinear Spectral Unmixing (Vol 12, 3985, 2020)
REMOTE SENSING(2021)
摘要
Shadows are frequently observable in high-resolution images, raising challenges in image interpretation, such as classification and object detection. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for shadow detection and restoration of atmospherically corrected hyperspectral images based on nonlinear spectral unmixing. The mixture model is applied pixel-wise as a nonlinear combination of endmembers related to both pure sunlit and shadowed spectra, where the former are manually selected from scenes and the latter are derived from sunlit spectra following physical assumptions. Shadowed pixels are restored by simulating their exposure to sunlight through a combination of sunlit endmembers spectra, weighted by abundance values. The proposed framework is demonstrated on real airborne hyperspectral images. A comprehensive assessment of the restored images is carried out both visually and quantitatively. With respect to binary shadow masks, our framework can produce soft shadow detection results, keeping the natural transition of illumination conditions on shadow boundaries. Our results show that the framework can effectively detect shadows and restore information in shadowed regions.
