The Future of Hyperspectral Imaging

Abstract

Hyperspectral-based techniques (HSI) are pervading many, and increasing, fields of application. HSI began as a quite obvious tool within remote airborne observations; for instance, to determine land resources. The rapid development of spectroscopic hardware allowed fundamental passage of HSI from multispectral analyses (a few spectral lines), up to the full control and capture of spectral continuous ranges, while expanding its realm to food, biology, medicine, forensics, and art observation, just to name a few.
