Abstract:
In this paper the Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) with sparseness constraints is studied for sea ice SAR feature extraction. NMF can, among other things, be used to extract certain basis vectors (elementary features) from image data. The sparseness constrained NMF (SC-NMF) can be used to restrict the sparseness of the decomposition of data, and thus it makes possible to select sets of features different in their nature. These features can then be used in classifying SAR texture of sea ice SAR images.
