Spectral

Spectral


Spectral imaging was the foundation of the center's activities for a number of years, but is not a current focus, aside from our interest in spectral lidar.

The Remote Sensing Center has worked with airborne and satellite systems including IKONOS/Quickbird multispectral imagery (MSI), and airborne hyperspectral imaging (HSI) systems including AVIRIS, HYDICE, CASI, and HYMAP.  

Classification and analysis, including atmospheric compensation is performed using standard industry research tools; notably ENVI and ERDAS Imagine.

The most recent thesis work has focused on coastal bathymetry particularly using WorldView-2’s 8-band MSI sensor.
