	abstract = {The mechanical and chemical properties of a compound material are determined by the fractional abundances of its components. In this work, we present a spectral unmixing technique to estimate the fractional abundances of the components of mixed and compound materials from hyperspectral images. The estimation of fractional abundances in mixed materials faces the main challenge of intimate mixing. In compound materials, the mixing with water causes changes in chemical properties resulting in spectral variability and non-linearity. To address these challenges, a supervised method is proposed that learns a mapping from the hyperspectral data to spectra that follow the linear mixing model. Then, a linear unmixing technique is applied on the mapped spectra to estimate the fractional abundances. To demonstrate the potential of the proposed method, experiments are conducted on hyperspectral images from mixtures of red and yellow clay powders and hardened mortar samples with varying water to cement ratios.},
