4. Research Motivation • Nonstationarities in sequence of images • Spectra of same class may evolve or drift over time • Potential approaches • Semi-supervised methods • Adaptive schemes • Exploit similar data geometries • Explore data manifolds Good initial conditions required

5. Manifold Learning for Hyperspectral Data • Characterize data geometry with manifold learning • To capture nonlinear structures • To recover intrinsic space (preserve spectral neighbors) • To reduce data dimensionality • Classification performed in low dimensional space Original space Manifold space 3rd dim Spectral bands n Spatial dimension 6 5 4 3 2 1 Spatial dimension 1st dim 2nd dim

6. Challenges: Modeling Multitemporal Data • Unfaithful joint manifold due to spectra shift • Often difficult to model the inter-image correspondences Data manifold at T2 Data manifolds at T1 and T2 Data manifold at T1

7. Proposed Approach: Exploit Local Structure Assumption: local geometric structures are similar Approach: Extract and optimally align local geometry to minimize overall differences Locality Spectral space at T2 Spectral space at T1

9. Proposed Approach: Manifold Alignment • Exploit labeled data for classification of multitemporal data sets Samples with class labels Samples with no class labels Joint manifold

10. Manifold Alignment: Introduction • and are 2 multitemporalhyperspectral images • Predict labels of using labeled • Explore local geometries using graph Laplacian and some form of prior information • Define Graph Laplacian • Two potential forms of prior information: given features and pairwise correspondences [Ham et al. 2005]

20. Summary and Future Directions • Multitemporal spectral changes result in failure to provide a faithful data manifold • Manifold alignment framework demonstrates potential for nonstationary environment by utilizing similar local geometries and prior information • Spatial proximity contributes to stabilization of local geometries for manifold alignment approaches • Future directions • Investigate alternative spatial and spectral integration strategy • Address issue of longer sequences of images
