# Material count functions

## HfcVd

`material_count.vd.``HfcVd`(M, far='default')

  Computes the vitual dimensionality (VD) measure for an HSI image for specified false alarm rates. When no false alarm rate(s) is specificied, the following vector is used: 1e-3, 1e-4, 1e-5. This metric is used to estimate the number of materials in an HSI scene.

  Parameters:
    M: numpy array
      HSI data as a 2D matrix (N x p).
    far: list [default default]
      False alarm rate(s).
  Returns: python list
    VD measure, number of materials estimate.

## hysime

`material_count.vd.``hysime`(y, n, Rn)

  Hyperspectral signal subspace estimation

  Parameters:
    y: numpy array
      hyperspectral data set (each row is a pixel) with ((m*n) x p), where p is the number of bands and (m*n) the number of pixels.
    n: numpy array
      ((m*n) x p) matrix with the noise in each pixel.
    Rn: numpy array
      noise correlation matrix (p x p)
  Returns: tuple integer, numpy array
    - kf signal subspace dimension
    - Ek matrix which columns are the eigenvectors that span the signal subspace.
