  • Vertex component analysis GPU-based implementation for hyperspectral unmixing
    Publication . Alves, José M. Rodriguez; Nascimento, Jose; Plaza, Antonio; Sanchez, Sérgio; Bioucas-Dias, José M.; Silva, Vítor
    Endmember extraction (EE) is a fundamental and crucial task in hyperspectral unmixing. Among other methods vertex component analysis ( VCA) has become a very popular and useful tool to unmix hyperspectral data. VCA is a geometrical based method that extracts endmember signatures from large hyperspectral datasets without the use of any a priori knowledge about the constituent spectra. Many Hyperspectral imagery applications require a response in real time or near-real time. Thus, to met this requirement this paper proposes a parallel implementation of VCA developed for graphics processing units. The impact on the complexity and on the accuracy of the proposed parallel implementation of VCA is examined using both simulated and real hyperspectral datasets.
  • GPU implementation of a hyperspectral coded aperture algorithm for compressive sensing
    Publication . Bernabe, Sergio; Martin, Gabriel; Nascimento, Jose; Bioucas-Dias, José; Plaza, Antonio; Silva, Vítor
    This paper presents a new parallel implementation of a previously hyperspectral coded aperture (HYCA) algorithm for compressive sensing on graphics processing units (GPUs). HYCA method combines the ideas of spectral unmixing and compressive sensing exploiting the high spatial correlation that can be observed in the data and the generally low number of endmembers needed in order to explain the data. The proposed implementation exploits the GPU architecture at low level, thus taking full advantage of the computational power of GPUs using shared memory and coalesced accesses to memory. The proposed algorithm is evaluated not only in terms of reconstruction error but also in terms of computational performance using two different GPU architectures by NVIDIA: GeForce GTX 590 and GeForce GTX TITAN. Experimental results using real data reveals signficant speedups up with regards to serial implementation.
  • Parallel method for sparse semisupervised hyperspectral unmixing
    Publication . Nascimento, Jose; Rodríguez Alves, José M.; Plaza, Antonio; Silva, Vítor; Bioucas-Dias, José M.
    Parallel hyperspectral unmixing problem is considered in this paper. A semisupervised approach is developed under the linear mixture model, where the abundance's physical constraints are taken into account. The proposed approach relies on the increasing availability of spectral libraries of materials measured on the ground instead of resorting to endmember extraction methods. Since Libraries are potentially very large and hyperspectral datasets are of high dimensionality a parallel implementation in a pixel-by-pixel fashion is derived to properly exploits the graphics processing units (GPU) architecture at low level, thus taking full advantage of the computational power of GPUs. Experimental results obtained for real hyperspectral datasets reveal significant speedup factors, up to 164 times, with regards to optimized serial implementation.

    Publication . Bernabé, Sérgio; Martin, Gabriel; Nascimento, Jose; Bioucas-Dias, José M.; Plaza, Antonio; Silva, Vítor
    In this paper, a parallel implementation of a previously constrained hyperspectral coded aperture (CHYCA) algorithm for compressive sensing on graphics processing units (GPUs) is proposed. CHYCA method combines the ideas of spectral unmixing and compressive sensing exploiting the high spatial correlation that can be observed in the data and the generally low number of endmembers needed in order to explain the data. The performance of CHYCA relies which does not depend on the tuning of a regularization parameter, which is a time consuming task offering good performance compared with a previously hyperspectral coded aperture (HYCA) method. The proposed implementation exploits the GPU architecture at low level, thus taking full advantage of the computational power of GPUs using shared memory and coalesced accesses to memory. Experimental results using simulated data reveals speedups up to 56 times, with regards to serial implementation.
