Abstract: There are a large number of mixed pixels in hyperspectral images, which greatly limit the quantitative application of hyperspectral images, and it is especially important to perform pixel unmixing efficiently and accurately. The initialization of the endmember matrix, the cost function of the algorithm itself and the iterative rules of the algorithm often result in different end-element spectra and end-batch abundances. Under different conditions, it is especially important to select appropriate initialization methods, cost functions and iterative rules to make the hyperspectral unmixing results better. In this paper, a new block initialization method based on Euclidean distance and spectral information divergence is improved. The improved block initialization method is superior to other initialization methods in the case of low to medium SNR. At the same time, a lot of experiments are carried out on the two aspects of initialization and algorithm itself. The results show that:①The block initialization is better than the global initialization.②The gradient iterative NMF algorithm is faster than the multiplicative iterative NMF algorithm, but easy to fall into local minimum.③Block multiplicative iterative NMF algorithm can obtain better endmember abundance information than standard multiplicative iterative NMF algorithm;④Block gradient iterative NMF algorithm is not applicable to the spectral unmixing process after random initialization.
