This paper presents an unsupervised Bayesian algorithm for hyperspectral image unmixing accounting for endmember variability. This variability is obtained by assuming that each pixel is a linear combination of random endmembers weighted by their corresponding abundances. An additive noise is also considered in the proposed model generalizing the normal compositional model. The proposed model is unsupervised since it estimates the abundances and both the mean and the covariance matrix of each
