model, each observed spectrum in a collection is modeled<br />

as a mixture of pure spectra which may or may not be<br />

known. The objectives of spectral unmixing are to<br />

1) estimate the number of pure spectra, 2) estimate the<br />

pure spectra, and 3) estimate the contributions of each<br />

pure spectra to each observed spectrum.<br />

The spectral unmixing literature proposes a number of<br />

algorithms to estimate the parameters in the spectral<br />

mixing model. We found these algorithms to be less<br />

inadequate. We are presently developing new<br />

approaches, deriving new estimators, and developing new<br />

algorithms that will, hopefully, generate improved<br />

solutions.<br />

Ongoing studies being conducted will benefit from<br />

spectral enhancement and unmixing.
