#### **Reducing the E**ff**ect of the Endmembers' Spectral Variability by Selecting the Optimal Spectral Bands**

#### *Omid Gha*ff*ari, Mohammad Javad Valadan Zoej and Mehdi Mokhtarzade*

This paper proposes an approach, called Prototype Space (PS) to simultaneously mitigate spectral variability and reduce correlation among different endmembers in hyperspectral datasets. The idea is to utilize the angular discrepancy of bands where each band is treated as a space point and the proposed method is to identify independent bands according to their angles.
