  • Abstract
    N-FINDER algorithm is widely used for endmember extraction. One of the disadvantages of N- FINDER is that its implementations take long run time due to the relatively large computational complexity of N- FINDER. Successfully reducing the size of the input data set -the hyperspectral image that the algorithm works on can reduce the overall run time of the algorithm. A method for successfully selecting the proper sample of the data set to work on is provided in this paper. Using this reduction technique, a faster and statistically more accurate version of N-FINDER is presented.
