A machine learning approach for material detection in hyperspectral images

In this paper we propose a machine learning approach for the detection of gaseous traces in thermal infra red hyperspectral images. It exploits both spectral and spatial information by extracting subcubes and by using extremely randomized trees with multiple outputs as a classifier. Promising results are shown on a dataset of more than 60 hypercubes.
