Introduction

Hyperspectral Imaging

Hyperspectral imaging allows us to visualize a vast portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and detect information that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. Hyperspectral sensors are able to extend its spectral footprint significantly beyond the visible red, green, and blue bands into the infrared region. The availability of sensor data at a large number of spectral bands generates a three-dimensional hypercube whose levels represent the different spectral bands and whose values at each level represent the sensor-detected light intensity at the corresponding pixel location at that specific band. Analyzing information presented by these additional spectral bands may lead to additional insight on a particular object or scene. For example, different materials have different spectral signatures. The existence of certain material in a scene or an object may be much more evident in a particular waveband than others.

Available Hyperspectral Camera

Hyperspectral cameras are defined by their spectral and spatial resolutions. The hyperspectral imaging system used to capture data for this project consists of two individual hyperspectral cameras mounted side-by-side. One is responsible for the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) portion of the spectrum and operates in the range of 400 to 100 nm. The other captures the short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) portion and works in the 900 to 2500 nm range.
