Hyperspectral sensors are devices that acquire images with narrow bands (less than 20nm) with continuous measurement. It extracts spectral signatures of objects or materials to be observed. Hyperspectral have more than 200 bands. Hyperspectral remote sensing has been used over a wide range of applications, such as agriculture, forestry, geology, ecological monitoring, atmospheric compositions a...

hyperspectral data potentially contain more information than multispectral data because of their higher spectral resolution. however, the stochastic data analysis approaches that have been successfully applied to multispectral data are not as effective for hyperspectral data as well. various investigations indicate that the key problem that causes poor performance in the stochastic approaches t...

In the past several decades, hyperspectral imaging has drawn a lot of attention in the field of remote sensing. Yet, due to low spatial resolutions of hyperspectral imagers, often the response from more than one surface material can be found in some hyperspectral pixels. These pixels are called mixed pixels. Mixed pixels bring challenges to traditional pixel-level applications, such as identifi...

Over the past two decades, hyperspectral remote sensing from airborne and satellite systems has been used as a data source for numerous applications. Hyperspectral imaging is quickly moving into the mainstream of remote sensing and is being applied to remote sensing research studies. Hyperspectral remote sensing has great potential for analysing complex urban scenes. However, operational applic...

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...
