The nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) combining with spatial-spectral contextual information is an important technique for extracting endmembers and abundances of hyperspectral image (HSI). Most methods constrain unmixing by the local spatial position relationship of pixels or search spectral correlation globally by treating pixels as an independent point in HSI. Unfortunately, they ignore the complex distribution of substance and rich contextual information, which makes them effective in limited cases. In this article, we propose a novel unmixing method via two types of self-similarity to constrain sparse NMF. First, we explore the spatial similarity patch structure of data on the whole image to construct the spatial global self-similarity group between pixels. And according to the regional continuity of the feature distribution, the spectral local self-similarity group of pixels is created inside the superpixel. Then based on the sparse expression of the pixel in the subspace, we sparsely encode the pixels in the same spatial group and spectral group respectively. Finally, the abundance of pixels within each group is forced to be similar to constrain the NMF unmixing framework. Experiments on synthetic and real data fully demonstrate the superiority of our method over other existing methods.
