Abstract: Current endmember extraction methods cannot accurately extract the endmembers of complicated ground features, and therefore this paper proposed a spatial-spectral collaborative multi-scale vertex component analysis (VCA) method. Hyperspectral images are firstly jointly clustered and segmented based on multi-feature fusion using spectral features, texture features, and shape features, which makes full use of the spatial heterogeneity information of ground features. Then, multi-scale low-rank matrix decomposition is used to decompose the segmented images and reduce the influence of noise on endmember extraction. Meanwhile, VCA is used to extract endmembers from low-resolution images, coordinate mapping is implemented to search these endmembers of high-resolution images, and vertex component analysis is used to extract endmember from low resolution image. After that, coordinate mapping is used to ferret about the corresponding endmembers in the high-resolution image, and the spectral angle between them is calculated to help accurately decide the pure endmembers. Finally, the proposed method is traversed into all segmented images to obtain the final pure endmembers. The proposed method is verified experimentally by using simulated and real GF-5 hyperspectral data. Experimental results show that the CVCA method can extract high-precision pure endmembers and has high calculation efficiency.
