WG Correspondence

Our mission:

Our working group aims at leading the hyper spectral activities in term of applications, new directions and education and prompting the goals of the WG by gathering active groups in this and related fields, organizing workshops co-operating with ISPRES and merging the commercial activity in this area with the scientific foundation and knowhow.

Terms of Reference:

• Ground based validation and radiometric calibration of hyperspectral data
• Optical, NIR, SWIR and thermal imaging spectroscopy
• Operationalising and standardising (pre-)processing and methodological approaches
• Atmospheric parameter retrieval and atmospheric corrections
• Data and sensor fusion for improved parameter retrieval (combination with other remote sensing data (lidar, SAR, multi-angular) and a priori information)
• Mixture models for data analysis
• Data compression and band selection algorithms

• Currently no news
