Hyperion, as hyperspectral data, is carried on NASA’s EO-1 satellite, can be used in more subtle discrimination on forest cover, with 224 band in 360 ?2580 nm (10nm interval). In this study, Hyperion image is used to investigate the effects of topography on the classification of forest cover, and to assess whether the topographic correction improves the discrimination of species units for practical forest mapping. A publicly available Digital Elevation Model (DEM), at a scale of 1:25,000, is used to model the radiance variation on forest, considering MSR(Mean Spectral Ratio) on antithesis aspects. Hyperion, as hyperspectral data, is corrected on a pixel-by-pixel basis to normalize the scene to a uniform solar illumination and viewing geometry. As a result, the approach on topographic effect normalization in hyperspectral data can effectively reduce the variation in detected radiance due to changes in forest illumination, progress the classification of forest cover.

The hyperspectral images can be analyzed in more detail compared to the conventional multispectral images so they can be used for analyzing surface properties which are difficult to detect. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to obtain information on river environment by using actual depth data and drone-based images. For this purpose, this study acquired the image values for 100 points of 1 survey line using drone-based hyperspectral sensors and analyzed the correlation in comparison with the actual depth information obtained through ADCP. The ADCP measurements showed that the depth tended to get deeper toward the center and that the average water depth was 0.81 m. As a result of analyzing the hyperspectral images, the value of maximum intensity was 645 and the value of minimum intensity was 278, and the correlation between the actual depth and the results of analyzing the hyperspectral images showed that the depth increased as the value of maximum intensity decreased.

Compression is a very important technique for remotely sensed hyperspectral images. The lossless compression based on the recursive least square (RLS), which eliminates hyperspectral images' redundancy using both spatial and spectral correlations, is an extremely powerful tool for this purpose, but the relatively high computational complexity limits its application to time-critical scenarios. In order to improve the computational efficiency of the algorithm, we optimize its serial version and develop a new parallel implementation on graphics processing units (GPUs). Namely, an optimized recursive least square based on optimal number of prediction bands is introduced firstly. Then we use this approach as a case study to illustrate the advantages and potential challenges of applying GPU parallel optimization principles to the considered problem. The proposed parallel method properly exploits the low-level architecture of GPUs and has been carried out using the compute unified device architecture (CUDA). The GPU parallel implementation is compared with the serial implementation on CPU. Experimental results indicate remarkable acceleration factors and real-time performance, while retaining exactly the same bit rate with regard to the serial version of the compressor.

In this paper, we analyzed the effect of wavelet decomposition levels in feature extraction for anomaly detection from hyperspectral imagery. After wavelet analysis, anomaly detection was experimentally performed using the RX detector algorithm to analyze the detecting capabilities. From the experiment for anomaly detection using CASI imagery, the characteristics of extracted features and the changes of their patterns showed that radiance curves were simplified as wavelet transform progresses and H bands did not show significant differences between target anomaly and background in the previous levels. The results of anomaly detection and their ROC curves showed the best performance when using the appropriate sub-band decided from the visual interpretation of wavelet analysis which was L band at the decomposition level where the overall shape of profile was preserved. The results of this study would be used as fundamental information or guidelines when applying wavelet transform to feature extraction and selection from hyperspectral imagery. However, further researches for various anomaly targets and the quantitative selection of optimal decomposition levels are needed for generalization.

$CO_2$ uptake of vegetation is one of the important variables in order to estimate photosynthetic activity, plant growth and carbon budget estimations. The objective of this research was to develop a new estimation method of $CO_2$ uptake of vegetation based on airborne hyperspectral remote sensing measurements in combination with a photosynthetic rate curve model. In this study, a compact airborne spectrographic imager (CASI) was used to obtain image over a field that had been set up to study the $CO_2$ uptake of corn on August 7, 2002. Also, a field survey was conducted concurrently with the CASI overpass. As a field survey, chlorophyll a content, photosynthetic rate curve, Leaf area, dry biomass and light condition were measured. The developed estimation method for $CO_2$ uptake consists of three major parts: a linear mixture model, an enhanced big leaf model and a photosynthetic rate curve model. The Accuracy of this scheme indicates that $CO_2$ uptake of vegetation could be estimated by using airborne hyperspectral remote sensing data in combination with a physiological model.

We present microscopy based hyperspectral imaging system that successively shows high spatial (micrometer) and temporal resolutions (milisecond), and acquired pseudocolor hemoglobin saturation map a result of various image processing techniques can provide additional information such as oxygen transport, abnormal vascularity and therapeutic effects besides structural and physiological measurements in various diseases. To increase understanding of vascular defects several optical methods of imaging for preclinical/clinical assessment have been developed so far. However, they have some limitations for outcoming resolution and user satisfaction level compared to its cost. A hyperspectral imaging system has shown a wide range of vascular characteristics associated with hypervascularity, aberrant angiogenesis or abnormal vascular remodeling in many diseases. This vascular characteristic is considered as a key component to diagnose and detect a type of disease as evidenced by them.

For mapping the distribution of heavy metals in the mining area, field spectroscopy and hyperspectral remote sensing were used in this study. Although heavy metals are spectrally featureless from the visible to the short wave infrared range, possible variations in spectral signal due to heavy metals bound onto minerals can be explained with the metal binding reaction onto the mineral surface. Variations in the spectral absorption shapes of lattice OH and oxygen on the mineral surface due to the combination of heavy metals were surveyed over the range from 420 to 2400 nm. Spectral parameters such as peak ratio and peak area were derived and statistically linked to metal concentration levels in the streambed samples collected from the dry stream channels. The spatial relationships between spectral parameters and concentrations of heavy metals were yielded as well. Based on the observation at a ground level for the relationship between spectral signal and metal concentration levels, the spectral parameters were classified in a hyperspectral image and the spatial distribution patterns of classified pixels were compared with the product of analysis at the ground level. The degree of similarity between ground dataset and image dataset was statistically validated. These techniques are expected to support assessment of dispersion of heavy metal contamination and decision on optimal sampling point.

In this study, a multivariate analysis model of partial least square regression (PLSR) was developed to predict the moisture content of green peppers using hyperspectral imaging (HSI). In HSI, illumination is essential for high-quality image acquisition and directly affects the analytical performance of the visible near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (VIS/NIR-HSI) system. When green pepper images were acquired using a direct lighting system, the specular reflection from the surface of the objects and their intensities fluctuated with time. The images include artifacts on the surface of the materials, thereby increasing the variability of data and affecting the obtained accuracy by generating false-positive results. Therefore, images without glare on the surface of the green peppers were created using a polarization filter at the front of the camera lens and by exposing the polarizer sheet at the front of the lighting systems simultaneously. The results obtained from the PLSR analysis yielded a high determination coefficient of 0.89 value. The regression coefficients yielded by the best PLSR model were further developed for moisture content mapping in green peppers based on the selected wavelengths. Accordingly, the polarization filter helped achieve an uniform illumination and the removal of gloss and artifact glare from the green pepper images. These results demonstrate that the HSI technique with a polarized lighting system combined with chemometrics can be effectively used for high-throughput prediction of moisture content and image-based visualization.

최근 위성기술의 발전은 크게 두 가지 방향으로 진행되고 있다. 하나는 고해상도(High Resolution)라는 말로 대표되는 공간해상도(Spatial Resolution)의 향상이고, 다른 하나는 초분광(Hyperspectral)으로 대표되는 분광해상도(Spectral Resolution)의 향상이다. 특히 초분광영상(Hyperspectral Image)은 지상피복 및 대상물에 대해 실험실에서 얻을 수 있을 정도의 연속적이고 좁은 파장 간격의 분광정보를 제공하고 있어, 기존에 사용하던 다중분광영상(Multispectral Image) 보다 많은 양의 정보를 사용자에게 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 다중분광영상과 초분광영상의 분광 정보를 활용한 영상분류능력을 비교분석하고 그 결과를 평가하였다. 분석결과는 다중분광영상에서 식별이 어려웠던 초지, 농지, 나지에 대한 분석 능력이 초분광영상에서 상당히 향상됨으로써 감독분류에서 약 20% 정도의 정확도 향상을 가져왔으며, 무감독분류의 경우에는 미소한 차이로 그 정확도가 향상된다는 것이다. 이런 결과는 향후 초분광영상의 토지 피복분류 및 대상물 탐사에 긍정적인 활용 방안을 제시할 수 있음을 알려주고 있다.

초분광 영상은 기존의 다중분광 영상보다 많은 파장대의 영상을 취득하기 때문에 다양한 분야의 연구에 이용되고 있다. 하지만 밴드별로 취득하는 파장대가 짧고 밴드수가 많아, 밴드간의 높은 상관관계 및 노이즈 밴드가 존재한다. 이로 인해 기존에 알려진 분석기법의 적용결과가 제대로 도출되지 않는다. 따라서 초분광 영상을 이용할 경우, 노이즈가 많이 포함된 밴드를 제거한 후 영상분석을 하는 것이 보다 효율적이다. 본 연구에서는 초분광 영상(Hyperspectral Image)의 전처리 과정 중 노이즈 밴드 제거에 초점을 맞추었으며, 이를 위해 프랙탈 차원을 이용하였다. 프랙탈 차원 측정방법 중 삼각기둥 표면적 기법을 이용하였다. 프랙탈 차원을 측정하고, Continuum Removal 기법을 이용하여 경향을 살펴보았다. 경험적으로 구한 임계값을 통해 상대적으로 정보량이 적은 밴드를 노이즈 밴드로 판단하여 제거하였다. 실험 영상으로는 EO-1 위성에서 취득되는 Hyperion 초분광 영상을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 프랙탈 분석을 통해 Hyperion 초분광 영상의 노이즈 밴드를 자동으로 추출하여 제거할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
