Development of hyperspectral imaging remote sensing technology

Hyperspectral Imaging for Remote Sensing Applications

Hyperspectral Remote Sensing

The term hyperspectral is used to refer to spectra consisting of large number of narrow, contiguously spaced spectral bands. In the field of remote sensing, the term hyperspectral is also used interchangeably with other terms such as spectroscopy, spectrometry, spectroradiometry and rarely ultraspectral. Spectroscopy is a branch of physics concerned with the production, transmission, measuremen...

Hyperspectral Remote Sensing

Hyperspectral remote sensing (HRS) and imaging spectroscopy (IS) are the same technologies that provide detailed spectral information for individual pixels of an image. While HRS refers mostly to remote sensing (from a distance), the emerging IS technology covers wide spatial–spectral domains, frommicroscopic to macroscopic HRS/IS. IS is an innovative development of the charge-coupled device (C...

Hyperspectral remote sensing of agriculture

Remote sensing is being increasingly used in different agricultural applications. Hyperspectral remote sensing in large continuous narrow wavebands provides significant advancement in understanding the subtle changes in biochemical and biophysical attributes of the crop plants and their different physiological processes, which otherwise are indistinct in multispectral remote sensing. This artic...

Hyperspectral remote sensing of sagebrush canopy nitrogen

Plant canopy nitrogen (N) is associated with ecosystem processes such as photosynthetic and aboveground net primary production, particularly in forested ecosystems. Sagebrush N is directly relatable to wildlife nutritional status and contributes to assessments of habitat quality, productivity, plant / soil water dynamics and controls on canopy photosynthesis. Hyperspectral remote sensing studie...
