The Prisma Hyperspectral Mission

چکیده
The aim of the paper is to provide an overview of the PRISMA (PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa) mission and the related scientific foreseen applications. The mission development program is in actually in the C phase and it is completely funded by ASI. PRISMA is an earth observation system with innovative electro-optical instrumentation which combines an hyperspectral sensor with a panchromatic, medium-resolution camera, capitalising ASI investments in the field of "small missions" (e.g. AGILE), hyperspectral payloads (e.g. Hypseo, Joint Hyperspectral Mission/JHM), satellite platforms (MITA/PRIMA) and centres for tracking and remote sensed data processing centres (COSMO-SkyMed and CNM – Multi-mission National Centre). The user segment offers a full range of mission products comprising the following level 0, 1 and 2 products, for both hyperspectral and panchromatic data: within this framework, five scientific studies have been started to undertake research on some specific hyperspectral applicative themes and procedures for the processing of hyperspectral data.

متن کاملReducing the Influence of Soil Moisture on the Estimation of Clay from Hyperspectral Data: A Case Study Using Simulated PRISMA Data
Soil moisture hampers the estimation of soil variables such as clay content from remote and proximal sensing data, reducing the strength of the relevant spectral absorption features. In the present study, two different strategies have been evaluated for their ability to minimize the influence of soil moisture on clay estimation by using soil spectra acquired in a laboratory and by simulating sa...
متن کاملFire Risk Assessment: the Role of Hyperspectral Remote Sensing
The increasing demand for effective forest fire prevention instruments has faced operational and future Earth observation instruments with the challenge of producing updated and reliable maps of vegetation moisture. Various empirical band-ratio indexes have been proposed so far, based on multispectral remote sensing data, that have been found to be related to vegetation moisture expressed in te...

In the last few decades, researchers have developed a plethora of hyperspectral Earth Observation (EO) remote sensing techniques, analysis and applications. While hyperspectral exploratory sensors are demonstrating their potential, Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite remote sensing is now providing free, open, global and systematic high resolution visible and infrared imagery at a short revisit ...
متن کاملOptimal spectral band configuration for forest land-cover classification of hyperspectral data: a study for the Italian- Canadian Joint Hyperspectral Mission
In 2006 the Italian and the Canadian Space Agencies started a collaboration to evaluate the feasibility of the Joint Hyperspectral Mission (JHM), a new mission for Earth Observation devoted to environmental applications. JHM was designed to operate with a 0 m resolution hyperspectral sensor able to collect 210 narrow spectral bands in the range of 400-2500 nm. This paper presents a study carrie...
