1.1. INTRODUCTION
Hyperspectral imaging has become a fast growing technique in remote sensing
image processing due to recent advances of hyperspectral imaging technology. It
makes use of as many as hundreds of contiguous spectral bands to expand the capability
of multispectral sensors that use tens of discrete spectral bands. As a result,
with such high spectral resolution many subtle objects and materials can now be
uncovered and extracted by hyperspectral imaging sensors with very narrow diagnostic
spectral bands for detection, discrimination, classification, identification,
recognition, ... read full excerpt from Hyperspectral Data Exploitation: Theory and Applications ebook
