In this paper, performance of state-of-the-art partially supervised detection algorithms are compared. It can be difficult to characterize the performance of detection algorithms using field data, especially at the subpixel level, due to limited ground truth. Fortunately, the SpecTIR Hyperspectral Airborne Experiment (SHARE) 2012 contains multiple sets of targets for testing detection algorithms with excellent ground truth. In this paper we utilize field spectra acquired for six targets to evaluate the performance of multiple detection algorithms. Each method is initialized with a single field spectra target signature, and detection performance of each method is separately assessed for each of the six targets. Detailed evaluation of these detection methods on the SHARE 2012 hyperspectral data is provided.
