Hello everyone! I implemented at Hyperion data the PCA method, in order to reduce dimensionality. After the implementation, I observed the results and the 99.5% of the information is detected at the first band (the total number of bands is 112). So, I would like to ask if this is OK or I should look again at the procedure. Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Did you spectrally subset the Hyperion data? Typically Hyperion has more than 112 "good" spectral bands. It would be unusual that the first PCA contains more than 99% of the information but I suppose it might matter what sort of image you have. Perhaps a large water scene or other very homogeneous scene would show results like that.

Yes, I spectrally subset my Hyperion dataset and of the 242 a subset of 112 bands spectrally subsetted from the Hyperion data set. I should not have done this step first? Thank you very much for your reply!

No, I think it is fine if you subset out the bad bands in Hyperion as there are quite a few. I just having seen it return only one PC with all of the variability (99.5%). Is your scene homogeneous?

I am sorry but I can't understand! What do you mean homogenous?

I also have PC2, PC3 and PC4...

Is there a diversity of materials in your image or only one or two materials? For example, a field of the same crop where you can only see plants or a large body of water would show very few materials. In this case, you may get all the relevant information in very few PC bands as in your case. Can you post the statistics from your eigenvalues?

I masked the Hyperion image, in order to avoid the vegetation and the water, because I investigate the rock formations... Yes, the statistics from the eigenvalues are the above: Eigenvalues Num 1 0.445516 Num 2 0.001159 Num 3 0.000465 Num 4 0.000210 Num 5 0.000073 Num 6 0.000035 Num 7 0.000022 Num 8 0.000019 Num 9 0.000014 Num 10 0.000008 Num 11 0.000007 Num 12 0.000006 Num 13 0.000005 Num 14 0.000005 Num 15 0.000005 Num 16 0.000004 Num 17 0.000004 Num 18 0.000004 Num 19 0.000004 Num 20 0.000004 Num 21 0.000003 Num 22 0.000003 Num 23 0.000003 Num 24 0.000003 Num 25 0.000003 Num 26 0.000003 Num 27 0.000003 Num 28 0.000002 Num 29 0.000002 Num 30 0.000002 Num 31 0.000002 Num 32 0.000002 Num 33 0.000002 Num 34 0.000002 Num 35 0.000002 Num 36 0.000002 Num 37 0.000002 Num 38 0.000002 Num 39 0.000001 Num 40 0.000001 Num 41 0.000001 Num 42 0.000001 Num 43 0.000001 Num 44 0.000001 Num 45 0.000001 Num 46 0.000001 Num 47 0.000001 Num 48 0.000001 Num 49 0.000001 Num 50 0.000001 Num 51 0.000001 Num 52 0.000001 Num 53 0.000001 Num 54 0.000001 Num 55 0.000001 Num 56 0.000001 Num 57 0.000001 Num 58 0.000001 Num 59 0.000001 Num 60 0.000001 Num 61 0.000001 Num 62 0.000001 Num 63 0.000001 Num 64 0.000001 Num 65 0.000001 Num 66 0.000001 Num 67 0.000000 Num 68 0.000000 Num 69 0.000000 Num 70 0.000000 Num 71 0.000000 Num 72 0.000000 Num 73 0.000000 Num 74 0.000000 Num 75 0.000000 Num 76 0.000000 Num 77 0.000000 Num 78 0.000000 Num 79 0.000000 Num 80 0.000000 Num 81 0.000000 Num 82 0.000000 Num 83 0.000000 Num 84 0.000000 Num 85 0.000000 Num 86 0.000000 Num 87 0.000000 Num 88 0.000000 Num 89 0.000000 Num 90 0.000000 Num 91 0.000000 Num 92 0.000000 Num 93 0.000000 Num 94 0.000000 Num 95 0.000000 Num 96 0.000000 Num 97 0.000000 Num 98 0.000000 Num 99 0.000000 Num 100 0.000000 Num 101 0.000000 Num 102 0.000000 Num 103 0.000000 Num 104 0.000000 Num 105 0.000000 Num 106 0.000000 Num 107 0.000000 Num 108 0.000000 Num 109 0.000000 Num 110 0.000000 Num 111 0.000000 Num 112 0.000000

I ran a PCA on the tutorial data set, HyperionForest.dat, and it includes all the original bands with some set to bad bands. The majority of the variability was contained in the first 5 bands while the rest included a lot of noise. Is this what you see in your data? Perhaps it is normal for Hyperion which is known to be a very noisy sensor.
