Abstract

In many applications of remotely-sensed imagery, one of the first steps is partitioning the image into a tractable number of regions. In spectral remote sensing, the goal is often to find regions that are spectrally similar within the region but spectrally distinct from other regions. There is often no requirement that these region be spatially connected. Two goals of this study are to partition a hyperspectral image into groups of spectrally distinct materials, and to partition without human intervention. To this end, this study investigates the use of multi- resolution, multi-dimensional variants of the watershed- clustering algorithm on Hyperspectral Digital Imagery Collection Experiment (HYDICE) data. The watershed algorithm looks for clusters in a histogram: a B-dimensional surface where B is the number of bands used (up to 210 for HYDICE). The algorithm is applied to HYDICE data of the Purdue Agronomy Farm, for which ground truth is available. Watershed results are compared to those obtained by using the commonly-available Iterative Self-Organizing Data Analysis Technique (ISODATA) algorithm.
