Clustering Hyperspectral Imagery via Sparse Representation Features of the Generalized Orthogonal Matching Pursuit

Abstract

This study focused on improving the clustering performance of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) by employing the Generalized Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (GOMP) algorithm for feature extraction. Hyperspectral remote sensing imaging technology, which is crucial in various fields like environmental monitoring and agriculture, faces challenges due to its high dimensionality and complexity. Supervised learning methods require extensive data and computational resources, while clustering, an unsupervised method, offers a more efficient alternative. This research presents a novel approach using GOMP to enhance clustering performance in HSI. The GOMP algorithm iteratively selects multiple dictionary elements for sparse representation, which makes it well-suited for handling complex HSI data. The proposed method was tested on two publicly available HSI datasets and evaluated in comparison with other methods to demonstrate its effectiveness in enhancing clustering performance.
