Hyperspectral Investigations for Environmental Applications

Project Objectives

Large hyperspectral data sets require detailed processing to ensure maximum utility for resource and environmental evaluations and assessments. As dataset become available in geographic areas where it is difficult or impossible to complete field observations the development of new methods for calibrating these data are essential. This Task will support the development of computer algorithms to support the calibration of large hyperspectral datasets.

This Task will also support the analysis of the georectified and radiometrically corrected data as well as product development and interpretative packages for external distribution.

Relevance & Impact

This Task will provide new data and develop new approaches for understanding surficial material and environmental maps at national, regional and local scales.
