Attribute

ISP Imagery Spectral Classification

Definition

Imagery where light is captured in hundreds of narrow, contiguous spectral bands for wavelength across the electromagnetic spectrum. Hyperspectral imaging measures light in a much larger number (typically 100 or more) of spectral bands as compared to multispectral imagery (typically only 3 to 15 bands). Hyperspectral imagery facilitates much fineer discrimination between different features on the Earth’s surface as compared to multispectral imagery and is a fine compliment to SAR data.
