The invention discloses a hyperspectral image target detection method based on
tensor matched subspace, which relates to a hyperspectral image target detection method and aims at solving problems that the existing hyperspectral image target detection precision is low and the space information
utilization rate is low. The method comprises specific steps: 1,
signal representation models for a target and a background under
tensor representation are built; 2, four-order
tensor matrixes for the target and the background are built respectively; 3, an orthogonal projection matrix in three background directions and three target directions of space X, space Y and a spectrum in the four-order tensor matrixes for the target and the background is solved; 4, a to-be-detected
signal is mapped to target sample projection subspace and background sample projection subspace obtained in the third step; and 5, whether the to-be-detected
signal is a detection target is judged, if a
generalized likelihood ratio detection model value under the
tensor representation is larger than or equal to eta, the to-be-detected signal is the detection target, or otherwise, the to-be-detected signal is the background target, wherein eta is a threshold. The method of the invention is used in the
image detection field.
