GGS 410 - Introduction to Hyperspectral Imaging

Credits: 3
Not Repeatable for Credit
Offered by Geography and Geoinformation Science

Provides an introduction to quantitative measurements by remote-sensing methods covering an introduction to quantitative spectroscopy, spectral and thermal signatures, atmospheric physics, and the electromagnetic spectrum. Emphasis will be on the scientific principles involved and the transition of the technology to real-world applications. The requisite materials to begin to understand hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology and its many civil and military applications are presented. The course covers the needed mathematics used in the analysis of n-dimensional data. Topics such as hyperspectral concepts, data collection systems, data processing techniques, case studies, and U.S. national policy issues will be covered. The data processing techniques will include N-dimensional space, scatterplots, spectral angle mapping, spectral mixture analysis, spectral matching, and other techniques. Applications and case studies will include environmental, medical, agricultural, military, and others. Ground, airborne, and spaceborne hyperspectral systems will be covered.

Prerequisite(s): PHYS 243-244, 245-246, MATH 113-114, GGS 353 GGS 416, or permission of instructor.
Schedule Type: LEC
