Hyperspectral imaging, also known as imaging spectroscopy, captures a data cube of a scene in two spatial and one spectral dimension. Hyperspectral image analysis refers to the operations which lead to quantitative and qualitative characterization of a hyperspectral image. This thesis contributes to hyperspectral imaging and analysis methods at multiple levels. In a tunable filter based hypersp...

Hyperspectral imaging is an important visual modality with growing interest and range of applications. The latter, however, is hindered by the fact that existing devices are limited in either spatial, spectral, and/or temporal resolution, while yet being both complicated and expensive. We present a low cost and fast method to recover high quality hyperspectral images directly from RGB. Our appr...

In this paper we provide a brief review of recent advances in computational methods for hyperspectral image analysis with emphasis in hybrid approaches. Hyperspectral imagery acquisition and hyperspectral analysis are growing elds. The analysis of hyperspectral images will have an increasing impact in several application areas, i.e., Earth observation, planetology, food industry, quality proces...

Hyperspectral sensors collect information as a set of images represented by different bands. Hyperspectral images are threedimensional images with sometimes over 100 bands where as regular images have only three bands: red, green and blue. Each pixel has a hyperspectral signature that represents different materials. Hyperspectral images can be used for geology, forestry and agriculture mapping,...

The Eyelink Toolbox software supports the measurement of eye movements. The toolbox provides an interface between a high-level interpreted language (MATLAB), a visual display programming toolbox (Psychophysics Toolbox), and a video-based eyetracker (Eyelink). The Eyelink Toolbox enables experimenters to measure eye movements while simultaneously executing the stimulus presentation routines prov...

This paper reports the development of a spectral reconstruction technique for predicting hyperspectral images from RGB color images and classifying food-borne pathogens in agar plates using reconstructed hyperspectral images. The six representative non-O157 Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serogroups (O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145) grown on Rainbow agar plates were used for ...

abstract the amount of needed fertilizer in agricultural soils depends to the type of crop. absence of enough fertilizer may cause in tensions in plants and consequently result in decrease in amount of product. according to the agricultural literature, soils containing total nitrogen amounts (n %) between 0.1-0.15 percent are considered as soils containing normal amounts of nitrogen. the values...

Anomaly Detection (AD) has recently become an important application of target detection in hyperspectral images. The Reed-Xialoi (RX) is the most widely used AD algorithm that suffers from “small sample size” problem. The best solution for this problem is to use Dimensionality Reduction (DR) techniques as a pre-processing step for RX detector. Using this method not only improves the detection p...

This paper describes the GE-CMU TIPSTER/SHOGUN system as configured for the TIPSTER 24-month (MUC-5) benchmark, and gives details of the system's performance on the selected Japanese and English texts. The SHOGUN system is a distillation of some of the key ideas that emerged from previous benchmarks and experiments, emphasizing a simple architecture in which the focus is on detailed corpus-base...
