What is Hyperspectral Imagery:
Hyperspectral imaging is the simultaneous collection of several hundred digitized layers of discrete spectra of all the objects in a given scene within in a given wavelength range. The key advantage of hyperspectral is the ability to discriminate finer spectral differences between target substances using narrower and more frequent channels. This leads to more accurate classification and lower false alarm rates.
-
Collection and analysis of many narrow, contiguous spectral bands across a given range of the electromagnetic spectrum
-
Measurement of the proportion of solar or artificial light as reflected by all physical objects in a given scene
-
Hundreds of times more data than digital images or multispectral data
-
Layers of spectral response are compared, matched, filtered, highlighted against signature libraries and combinations
-
Search and detection algorithms are developed and applied to assist in pulling out specific phenomenon to derive maps of targets of interest
-
Many exploitation variants are possible, hence the power and potential of the technology
