Decomposition of SAR images’ mixed pixels based on supervised learning ICA algorithm[J]. Journal of Remote Sensing, 2009,13(2):217-223. DOI: 10.11834/jrs.20090241.
For resolving the problem that there are lots of mixed pixels in the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images
against the flaw that the traditional Independent Component Analysis(ICA) can not solve the decomposition of mixed pixels effectively
we propose a new algorithm: Supervised Learning ICA algorithm(SL-ICA). Adding supervised learning restrictive conditions to the negentropy objective function
we implement negentropy and restrictive conditions in a unified objective function
which minimizes the error while maximizing the negentropy. At the same time
we optimize the objective function using a new dual-gradient descent algorithm iteratively
which accelerates the computing speed. By testing SL-ICA and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). on artificial simulated SAR images and ENVISAT-ASAR (Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar) images of Beijing
the results show that SL-ICA can get more precise results than the PCA.
