Hyperspectral Anomaly Detection

Hyperspectral anomaly detection (HAD) focuses on identifying objects or regions in hyperspectral imagery that deviate significantly from their surroundings, a crucial task in various fields like remote sensing and surveillance. Recent research emphasizes improving the robustness and generalizability of HAD methods, exploring both unsupervised approaches like low-rank representation (LRR) and supervised techniques, often integrated within deep learning frameworks such as autoencoders and unfolded LRR models. These advancements aim to address challenges posed by complex backgrounds, limited training data, and the need for accurate detection of novel anomalies, ultimately enhancing the reliability and applicability of HAD across diverse scientific and practical domains.
