mode, Stochastic Geometric model and Fuzzy model (Charles
Lchoku,1996) to extract the sub-pixel information. Specially,
the Linear Spectral Mixture Model(LSMM) is currently one of
the most prevailing sub-pixel model for its simpleness and
easily operation(Chabrillat, 2000),and has been broadly used in
land-use and land-cover classification
(Adams et al., 1995; Gong et al., 1994; Quarmby et al.,
1992),land-cover change detection (Adams et al., 1995;
Peterson & Stow, 2003), vegetation inversion(Patrick Hostert et
al,2003), thermal feature extraction(Dengsheng Lu & Qihao
Weng,2006) and geological surveys (Neville et al., 2003) during
the past 30 years. Interestingly, some authors also found LSMM
to be equivalent to the orthogonal subspace projection (OSP)
method and linear support vector machine (SVM) (Brown et al.,
2000; Settle, 1996).
Linear Spectral Mixture Model also known as Linear spectral
unmixing (LSU), sub-pixel sampling, or spectral mixture
analysis(SMA), is a widely used procedure to determine the
proportion of constituent materials within a pixel based on the
materials spectral characteristics (Boardman, 1989),and
followed by three assumption^ 1) the spectra signals are linearly
contributed by a finite number of land-cover classes
(endmembers) within each pixel weighted by their cover
percentage (Ichoku & Kamieli, 1996); (2) the endmembers in a
pixel are homogeneous surfaces and spatially segregated
without multiple scattering (Keshava & Mustard, 2002); and (3)
the electromagnetic energy of neighboring pixels does not affect
the spectral signal of the target pixel. Although nonlinear
mixing effects due to the uncertainty caused by ,such as,
atmospheric absorption and scattering, adjacent effect of pixel,
have been considered in previous literature(Borel & Gerstl,
1994; Ju et al., 2003;Pu et al., 2003) they are complicated and
case-specific and not seriously deteriorate the unmixing
results(Xin Miao et al,2006;Chabrillat et al.,2000).
Researches on LSMM in previous literature mostly focused on
the evaluation of linear hypothesis relating to itself and
techniques used to select endmembers and other uncertainties,
nevertheless, the environment conditions of study area which
could sway the unmixing-accuracy such as atmosphere
reflectance or scattering and terrain undulation are not studied.
The terrain effects are very notable from the satellite imagery
