An ADMM Based Network for Hyperspectral Unmixing Tasks

In this paper, we use algorithm unrolling approaches in order to design a new neural network structure applicable to hyperspectral unmixing challenges. In particular, building upon a constrained sparse regression formulation of the underlying unmixing problem, we unroll an ADMM solver onto a neural network architecture that can be used to deliver the abundances of different (known) endmembers given a reflectance spectrum. Our proposed network – which can be readily trained using standard supervised learning procedures – is shown to possess a richer structure consisting of various skip connections and shortcuts than other competing architectures. Moreover, our proposed network also delivers state-of-the-art unmixing performance compared to competing methods.
