Abstract

In supervised and unsupervised image classification, it is known that contextual classification methods based on Markov random fields (MRFs) improve the performance of non-contextual classifiers. In this paper, we consider the unsupervised unmixing problem based on MRFs. The exact solutions maximizing local conditional densities are derived, and they show excellent performance for unximing of data sets. Furthermore a new stochastic model based on conditional random fields is proposed for unmixing of hyperspectral data. The approximation formula of its normalizing factor is also derived.
