We have explored in this paper a framework to test in a quantitative manner the stability of different endmember extraction and spectral unmixing algorithms based on the concept of Consensus Clustering. The idea is to investigate if the sensibility of those algorithms to the number of endmembers can be used to estimate this parameter itself. Preliminary results on synthetic data reveal that the proposed scheme, which can be implemented efficiently in parallel, can compete with state-of-the-art schemes.
