Abstract

Accurately distinguishing between background and anomalous objects within hyperspectral images poses a significant challenge. The primary obstacle lies in the inadequate modeling of prior knowledge, leading to a performance bottleneck in hyperspectral anomaly detection (HAD). In response to this challenge, we put forth a groundbreaking coupling paradigm that combines model-driven low-rank representation (LRR) methods with data-driven deep learning techniques by learning disentangled priors (LDP). LDP seeks to capture complete priors for effectively modeling the background, thereby extracting anomalies from hyperspectral images more accurately. LDP follows a model-driven deep unfolding architecture, where the prior knowledge is separated into the explicit low-rank prior formulated by expert knowledge and implicit learnable priors by means of deep networks. The internal relationships between explicit and implicit priors within LDP are elegantly modeled through a skip residual connection. Furthermore, we provide a mathematical proof of the convergence of our proposed model. Our experiments, conducted on multiple widely recognized datasets, demonstrate that LDP surpasses most of the current advanced HAD techniques, exceling in both detection performance and generalization capability.
