Dependencies
FastICA -- from Aalto University)

Setup

In the terminal type:

cd ~/path-to-directory
git clone https://github.com/davidkun/HyperSpectralToolbox.git
git clone https://github.com/davidkun/FastICA.git

Open Matlab. The default directory should contain a file startup.m. If not, create it:

% in Matlab command window
uPath = userpath;
cd(uPath(1:end-1)); % removes trailing colon
edit startup.m      % may ask if you'd like to create it; click Yes

Add the following code to it (make sure to modify path-to-directory so it matches the actual path):

addtopath('~/path-to-directory/FastICA', ...
          '~/path-to-directory/HyperSpectralToolbox/functions', ...
          '~/path-to-directory/HyperSpectralToolbox/newFunctions');

You're ready to go now! Check out the demo files hyperDemo.m in functions/ and hyperDemo2.m in newFunctions/ to learn how to use the toolbox, or see the examples further down this page.

Description

The open source Matlab Hyperspectral Toolbox is a Matlab toolbox containing various hyperspectral exploitation algorithms. The toolbox is meant to be a concise repository of current state-of-the-art exploitation algorithms for learning and research purposes. The toolbox includes functions for:

Examples

Download the Cuprite, Nevada hyperspectral image (HSI) from here. This will contain reflectance data and a .spc file with the spectral bands. The following samples of code are from hyperDemo2.m.

Show a 'slice' of the HSI:

slice = hyperReadAvirisRfl(rflFile, [1 512], [1 614], [bndnum bndnum]);
figure; imagesc(slice); axis image; colormap(gray);

View an enhanced truecolor composite of the HSI:

tColor   = hyperTruecolor(rflFile, 512, 614, 224, rgbBands, 'stretchlim');
figure; imagesc(tColor); axis image

Plot the spectral signatures of 20 random pixels in order to determine which bands are greatly affected by water absorption and/or have a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR):

Using the resampled HSI cube, perform an endmember extraction algorithm, for example, the N-FINDR algorithm:

Unfindr = hyperNfindr(M2d, q);
figure; plot(lambdasNm, Unfindr, '.'); grid on;

Generate abundance maps using the non-negative constrained least squares method for each extracted endmember signature, for example:

abundanceMaps = hyperNnls(M2d, Uppi);
abundanceMaps = hyperConvert3d(abundanceMaps, h, w, q);
figure; imagesc(abundanceMaps(:,:,1)); colorbar; axis image;

These are just a few features of the Hyperspectral Toolbox.
