- "Hyperspectral imaging collects and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum."
An overview of hyperspectral remote sensing, including the principles of spectral resolution and how it can be used to identify and distinguish different materials.
- "The goal of hyperspectral imaging is to obtain the spectrum for each pixel in the image of a scene, with the purpose of finding objects, identifying materials, or detecting processes."
- "There are push broom scanners and the related whisk broom scanners (spatial scanning), band sequential scanners (spectral scanning), and snapshot hyperspectral imagers."
- "Whereas the human eye sees color of visible light in mostly three bands, spectral imaging divides the spectrum into many more bands."
- "Hyperspectral imaging measures continuous spectral bands, as opposed to multiband imaging which measures spaced spectral bands."
- "Engineers build hyperspectral sensors and processing systems for applications in astronomy, agriculture, molecular biology, biomedical imaging, geosciences, physics, and surveillance."
- "Certain objects leave unique 'fingerprints' in the electromagnetic spectrum. Known as spectral signatures, these 'fingerprints' enable identification of the materials that make up a scanned object."
- "For example, a spectral signature for oil helps geologists find new oil fields." Note: Due to the paragraph's length and the limited space for quotes, not all questions have direct quotes to provide as answers.
