Abstract

Three major objectives in processing hyperspectral image data of an object (target) are data compression, spectral signature identification of constituent materials, and determination of their corresponding fractional abundances. Here we propose a novel approach to processing hyperspectral data using nonnegative tensor factorization (NTF), which reduces a large tensor into three factor matrices, the Khatri-Rao product which approximates the original tensor. This approach preserves physical characteristics of the data such as nonnegativity and can be used to satisfy all three major objectives. Test results are reported for space object identification.
