Spectral mixture analysis or spectral unmixing assumes that a spectrum of in a pixel might be a result of a composition (mixure) of several endmembers. The goal of unmixing is to find a fraction of endmembers in a pixel (Adams et al., 1986). If the materials in the field of view are optically separated (there is no multiple scattering between components), it can be assumed that the final signal is a linear combination of the endmembers. The relation can be expressed as:

where ri is the measured spectrum, aij is the endmember of the spectrum j, fij is the respective endmember fraction, and ei is the error between the measurement and the derived model. The unknown fractions are determined by adjustment (e.g., by the least squares method). It shall be mentioned that spectral unmixing is only possible when the number of endmembers of the image is lower than the number of spectral bands (leads to over-dimensioning of the system of equations). The spectral differences between the original and modelled spectral values in each pixel can be calculated and statistically expressed as the [root mean square error](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-mean-square_deviation). @@ -66,7 +66,7 @@ Numerous examples of applications of linear unmixing can be found e.g., Okujeni The endmember and measured spectra can be considered as vectors in the spectral feature space. Spectral angle mapper (SAM) calculates an n-D angle to match pixels to endmembers.

where Θ is the calculated spectral angle, t is the measured spectrum, r is the reference (endmember), i is the number of the spectral band. The pixel is assigned to an endmember with smallest angle (Yuhas et al., 1992). For each endmember, the spectral angle to the image pixels can be calculated. After visualisation brighter pixel means a larger spectral angle to the endmember.
