Spectral Unmixing using mesma function/ Problem with low values

ALoak21 opened this issue · 1 comments

Hello There!

I'm currently trying to do some spectral unmixing with Landsat 4-8 Data. For this, i am using the mesma() function, developed by jakob schwalb-willmann. Apart from some vegetational Endmember/spectra, for e. g. floodplain areas and wetlands, i also tried to run the unmixing function with a shade-spectrum for calculating the percentage of shade in each pixel. For this, i added the value 0.000001 for each band of the raster layer (in my Sources, the calculation of the shade-percentage is done with setting the values to 0, but then the results of mesma() are completely trash).
Normally, the expected values/percentage of the Endmember spectra in each pixel after the unmixing should be between 0 and 1. But this time, the mesma function calculates values from 0 to 364649.8, which in my opinion can't be right.
Has anybody an idea, why?
Mesma uses a non-negative least squares solver, maybe this is a reason for the problem?

Part of the code i'm using:
Em_pos = st_read("path") # reading the table with the geographic position of the Endmember in the Data
s_05_07_19 = stack("path") # raster, from which the Endmember should be extracted
EM_L7 = extract(s_05_07_19, Em_pos) # extracting the Endmember from the Raster
EM_L7.df = as.data.frame(EM_L7)
EM_L7.df [8,] = c(0.000001,0.000001,0.000001,0.000001,0.000001,0.000001,0.000001) # adding the shade-class to the Frame
Data = stack ("path") # raster, for which the unmix-function should be applied
unmix = mesma(Data,EM_L7.df,method = "NNLS",verbose = T)

Please update to the most recent github version, as mesma has been updated in the meantime, implementing a sum to one constraint. Please reopen of this issue persists.
