Book Imaging Spectrometry

Download or read book Imaging Spectrometry written by Freek D. van der Meer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-03-29 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant step forward in the world of earth observation was made with the development of imaging spectrometry. Imaging spectrometers measure reflected solar radiance from the earth in many narrow spectral bands. Such a spectroscopical imaging system is capable of detecting subtle absorption bands in the reflectance spectra and measure the reflectance spectra of various objects with a very high accuracy. As a result, imaging spectrometry enables a better identification of objects at the earth surface and a better quantification of the object properties than can be achieved by traditional earth observation sensors such as Landsat TM and SPOT. The various chapters in the book present the concepts of imaging spectrometry by discussing the underlying physics and the analytical image processing techniques. The second part of the book presents in detail a wide variety of applications of these new techniques ranging from mineral identification, mapping of expansive soils, land degradation, agricultural crops, natural vegetation and surface water quality.

Book Hyperspectral Imaging and Analysis for Sparse Reconstruction and Recognition

Download or read book Hyperspectral Imaging and Analysis for Sparse Reconstruction and Recognition written by Zohaib Khan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] Hyperspectral imaging, also known as imaging spectroscopy, captures a data cube of a scene in two spatial and one spectral dimension. Hyperspectral image analysis refers to the operations which lead to quantitative and qualitative characterization of a hyperspectral image. This thesis contributes to hyperspectral imaging and analysis methods at multiple levels. In a tunable filter based hyperspectral imaging system, the recovery of spectral reflectance is a challenging task due to limiting filter transmission, illumination bias and band misalignment. This thesis proposes a hyperspectral imaging technique which adaptively recovers spectral reflectance from raw hyperspectral images captured by automatic exposure adjustment. A spectrally invariant self similarity feature is presented for cross spectral hyperspectral band alignment. Extensive experiments on an in-house developed multi-illuminant hyperspectral image database show a significant reduction in the mean recovery error.

Book Hyperspectral Imaging Technology in Food and Agriculture

Download or read book Hyperspectral Imaging Technology in Food and Agriculture written by Bosoon Park and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hyperspectral imaging or imaging spectroscopy is a novel technology for acquiring and analysing an image of a real scene by computers and other devices in order to obtain quantitative information for quality evaluation and process control. Image processing and analysis is the core technique in computer vision. With the continuous development in hardware and software for image processing and analysis, the application of hyperspectral imaging has been extended to the safety and quality evaluation of meat and produce. Especially in recent years, hyperspectral imaging has attracted much research and development attention, as a result rapid scientific and technological advances have increasingly taken place in food and agriculture, especially on safety and quality inspection, classification and evaluation of a wide range of food products, illustrating the great advantages of using the technology for objective, rapid, non-destructive and automated safety inspection as well as quality control. Therefore, as the first reference book in the area, Hyperspectral Imaging Technology in Food and Agriculture focuses on these recent advances. The book is divided into three parts, which begins with an outline of the fundamentals of the technology, followed by full covering of the application in the most researched areas of meats, fruits, vegetables, grains and other foods, which mostly covers food safety and quality as well as remote sensing applicable for crop production. Hyperspectral Imaging Technology in Food and Agriculture is written by international peers who have both academic and professional credentials, with each chapter addressing in detail one aspect of the relevant technology, thus highlighting the truly international nature of the work. Therefore the book should provide the engineer and technologist working in research, development, and operations in the food and agricultural industry with critical, comprehensive and readily accessible information on the art and science of hyperspectral imaging technology. It should also serve as an essential reference source to undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers in universities and research institutions.

Book Applications of Hyperspectral Imaging Techniques to Forensic Image Analysis

Download or read book Applications of Hyperspectral Imaging Techniques to Forensic Image Analysis written by Shaun Wallace Dowler and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hyperspectral imaging is a form of imaging spectroscopy developed for remote sensing. Hyperspectral algorithms have many useful properties: particularly robustness to scene conditions and the versatility to analyse a wide variety of scene compositions. Hyperspectral techniques are, however, computationally expensive. Imaging spectroscopy has been applied to the analysis of forensic crime scenes in the recent past with some success. The relative simplicity of the techniques used in these studies, however, has created an opportunity to apply hyperspectral techniques to forensic scenes. This work focused on the development of analysis techniques for camera systems suitable for imaging forensic scenes in the field. Hyperspectral unmixing allows for a scene to be decomposed into a list of material signatures and maps of the abundances of those materials. Winter's N-FINDR was selected as a suitable unmixing technique for examination due to its popularity, performance and well-understood operation. Analyses of the operation, complexity and performance on simulated and real remote sensing scenes of N-FINDR were conducted to establish a baseline against the body of remote sensing literature. N-FINDR was shown to be an effective, albeit computationally costly, algorithm for analysing hyperspectral data. Two complementary means for reducing the complexity of the N-FINDR algorithm were considered. The algorithm was restructured and the use of an LDU decomposition allowed for redundancies in the computations to be removed. Secondly, a means for reducing the search space of the algorithm was examined and shown to have a favourable complexity-accuracy trade-off. These modifications allow for N-FINDR to form the basis of a hyperspectral still camera system. A new algorithm, Abundance Guided Endmember Selection (AGES), was developed with the property that iterations have low complexity and produce intermediate material maps. A modified version of AGES was used to develop a framework for a video camera system that made use of between-frame redundancy. Both N-FINDR and AGES were compared to more traditional techniques from forensic literature in their performance on blood shoemarks and treated fingermarks. On these scenes, NFINDR and AGES were shown to equal or outperform traditional techniques. The work constitutes major progress towards a system capable of field deployment.

Book Imaging Spectrometry    a Tool for Environmental Observations

Download or read book Imaging Spectrometry a Tool for Environmental Observations written by Joachim Hill and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-08-19 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technique of imaging spectrometry has now passed its infancy and entered into a new phase of application oriented research. Advanced sensor systems (such as Nasa/JPL's AVIRIS) have become available for international research programmes (MAC Europe 1991), new imaging spectrometers are under development in several European countries or have already passed their acceptance tests, and first high spectral resolution imaging systems are already operated by private industry. On European level, the EARSEC programme of the Joint Research Centre has provided considerable financial investments for the development of an imaging spectrometer which covers the reflective and important parts of the emissive spectrum (DAIS-7915), and the European Space Agency has initiated an important airborne remote sensing campaign (EMAC 1994/95) in which imaging spectrometry will constitute one of the most important components. The increasing sensor capabilities also reflect the fact that imaging spectrometry has advanced in many application fields of earth remote sensing. Progress has been made in the development of data pre-proeessing methods, spectral signature modeling and semi-empirical approaches for retrieving surface parameters. It therefore appeared important to further disseminate information about new approaches in the application-oriented analysis of imaging spectrometry data. This volume presents the lectures of the second EUROCOURSE on imaging spectrometry which was held in November 1992 at the Joint Research Centre (a first course on "Fundamentals and Prospective Applications" of imaging spectrometry had been organised in October 1989, the lectures being published as EUROCOURSES in Remote Sensing, vol. 2).

Book The Future of Hyperspectral Imaging

Download or read book The Future of Hyperspectral Imaging written by Stefano Selci and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes some very recent applications and the newest emerging trends of hyper-spectral imaging (HSI). HSI is a very recent and strange beast, a sort of a melting pot of previous techniques and scientific interests, merging and concentrating the efforts of physicists, chemists, botanists, biologists, and physicians, to mention just a few, as well as experts in data crunching and statistical elaboration. For almost a century, scientific observation, from looking to planets and stars down to our own cells and below, could be divided into two main categories: analyzing objects on the basis of their physical dimension (recording size, position, weight, etc. and their variations) or on how the object emits, reflects, or absorbs part of the electromagnetic spectrum, i.e., spectroscopy. While the two aspects have been obviously entangled, instruments and skills have always been clearly distinct from each other. With HSI now available, this is no longer the case. This instrument can return specimen dimensionalities and spectroscopic properties to any single pixel of your specimen, in a single set of data. HSI modality is ubiquitous and scale-invariant enough to be used to mark terrestrial resources on the basis of a land map obtained from satellite observation (actually, the oldest application of this type) or to understand if the cell you are looking at is cancerous or perfectly healthy. For all these reasons, HSI represents one of the most exciting methodologies of the new millennium.
