Abstract

An approach to automatic target cueing (ATC) in hyperspectral images, referred to as K-means reclustering, is introduced. The objective is to extract spatial clusters of spectrally related pixels having specified and distinctive spatial characteristics. K-means reclustering has three steps: spectral cluster initialization, spectral clustering and spatial re-clustering, plus an optional dimensionality reduction step. It provides an alternative to classical ATC algorithms based on anomaly detection, in which pixels are classified as type anomaly or background clutter. K-means reclustering is used to cue targets of various sizes in AVIRIS imagery. Statistical performance and computational complexity are evaluated experimentally as a function of the designated number of spectral classes (K) and the initially specified spectral cluster centers.
