Spectral unmixing is a crucial step while analyzing hyperspectral images in remote sensing and astronomical applications. It consists of decomposing measured pixels into a set of elementary spectra and quantifying their respective proportions in the observed mixtures. Unsupervised spectral unmixing can be formulated as a blind source separation problem. Bayesian estimation offers a convenient framework to tackle this problem. This talk presents a Bayesian estimation algorithm derived to recover the parameters of interest (spectral components and corresponding mixing coefficients). It is based on the wide assumption of a linear observation model. The physical constraints implied by this model are naturally ensured within the Bayesian framework by assigning appropriate priors to the unknown parameters. Inference is conducted using a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. Examples on real hyperspectral data will be proposed.

Keywords: spectral unmixing, hyperspectral images, Bayesian inference, MCMC algorithm.
