To achieve this, a nonnegative Tucker decomposition is applied. This decomposition is a function of three dimension parameters. By employing a link between this decomposition and the linear spectral mixing model, an optimization problem is defined to find the optimal parameters by minimizing the root-mean-square error between the abundance matrices of the original and reconstructed data sets. The resulting optimization problem is solved by a particle swarm optimization algorithm. An approximate method for fast estimation of the free parameters is introduced as well. Our simulation results show that, in comparison with well-known state-of-the-art lossy compression methods, an improved compression and spectral unmixing performance of the reconstructed hyperspectral image is obtained. It is noteworthy to mention that the superiority of our method becomes more apparent as the compression ratio grows.}, issn = {0196-2892}, doi = {10.1109/TGRS.2016.2574757}, author = {Azam Karami and Rob Heylen and Paul Scheunders} }
