Combining S-space and Image Spatial Information for Characterization of Land-cover Elements Using Aviris Data

Imaging spectroscopy data provides information that is both spatially and spectrally rich. However, hyperspectral classification and identification procedures are generally based solely on the spectral data. The Sspace concept treats the spectrum as a ’spatial’ dimension thereby facilitating the exploration of a relationship between the spectral and spatial image domains. This paper presents the ideas that will be researched as well as some preliminary results.
