The study area is located in the central Iranian tectono-magmatic zone, which is known for its world-class IOA-type Iron ore deposits. The Advanced Space borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) image-processing techniques, were used in satellite imagery through conventional and also modern processing methods including band ratios...

The urban environment is characterised by a variety of different surface materials. For the discrimination of urban materials, hyperspectral imaging proved a valuable tool. In this study, two methods for classification, Spectral Angle Mapper and Support Vector Machines, are compared on a hyperspectral dataset to derive a detailed map of roof materials. Spectral similarity of different materials...

An empirical (target-) BRDF normalization method has been implemented for Imaging Spectrometry data processing, following the approach of Kennedy, published in 1997. It is a simple, empirical method with the purpose of a rapid technique, based on a least-squares quadratic curve fitting process. The algorithm is calculating correction factors in either multiplicative or additive manner for each ...

Unlike conventional sensor systems such as Landsat-TM, Spot-MX or IRS-LISS, which acquire data in only a few spectral bands, the development of scanner systems that acquire data in many narrow-wavelength bands allows the use of almost continuous reflectance data in studies of the Earth’s surface. This not only produces laboratory-like reflectance spectra with absorption bands specific to object...

This paper proposes a vehicle light detection method using a hyperspectral camera instead of a Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) or Complementary metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) camera for adaptive car headlamp control. To apply Intelligent Headlight Control (IHC), the vehicle headlights need to be detected. Headlights are comprised from a variety of lighting sources, such as Light Emitting Diodes (...
