Official Description

Hyperspectral imaging allows quantitative evaluation of material composition and spatial distribution and finds numerous applications in areas such as remote sensing and military reconnaissance. In particular, the operational utility of HSI for detection, recognition and identification of hard-to-detect targets in environments cluttered with background noise is especially critical. Spectral imaging can aid the detection, acquisition and tracking of a potentially camouflaged, low-signature target...
