   |  GGS 410 - Introduction to Hyperspectral ImagingCredits: 3 (NR)Provides an introduction to quantitative measurements by remote-sensing  methods covering an introduction to quantitative spectroscopy, spectral  and thermal signatures, atmospheric physics, and the electromagnetic  spectrum. Emphasis will be on the scientific principles involved and the  transition of the technology to real-world applications. The requisite  materials to begin to understand hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology  and its many civil and military applications are presented. The course  covers the needed mathematics used in the analysis of n-dimensional  data. Topics such as hyperspectral concepts, data collection systems,  data processing techniques, case studies, and U.S. national policy  issues will be covered. The data processing techniques will include  N-dimensional space, scatterplots, spectral angle mapping, spectral  mixture analysis, spectral matching, and other techniques. Applications  and case studies will include environmental, medical, agricultural,  military, and others. Ground, airborne, and spaceborne hyperspectral  systems will be covered.
