Abstract

The inherent dimension of hyperspectral data may be a useful metric for discriminating between the presence of manmade and natural materials in a scene without reliance on spectral signatures take from libraries. Previously, a simple geometric method for approximating the inherent dimension was introduced along with results from application to single material clusters. This method uses an estimate of the slope from a graph based on the point density estimation in the spectral space. Other information can be gathered from the plot which may aid in the discrimination between manmade and natural materials. In order to use these measures to differentiate between the two material types, the effect of the inclusion of manmade pixels on the phenomenology of the background distribution must be evaluated. Here, a procedure for injecting manmade pixels into a natural region of a scene is discussed. The results of dimension estimation on natural scenes with varying amounts of manmade pixels injected are presented here, indicating that these metrics can be sensitive to the presence of manmade phenomenology in an image.
