Talk:Hyperspectral imaging

October 2006
I removed this phrase: "That's why it is used in target detection and tracking applications." This article, as it stands, deals with electron-probe microanalysis, not mapping the Earth. Perhaps another article, such as Hyperspectral mapping, would be a more appropriate area for target detection, etc. Cm the p 18:29, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Removing the phrase was a mistake. Hyperspectral imaging does indeed include imaging the earth, for example, there is a NASA satellite called Hyperion, and it's not really mapping per se, in the sense of cartography -- it's creating an image that is then interpreted against a map. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wfzimmerman (talk • contribs) 15:09, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Clarified the section "Different hyperspectral imaging technologies" and added two citations. Mowryand May 30, 2013 —Preceding undated comment added 15:11, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Deleted a bit that looked like advertising. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.50.94.200 (talk) 19:46, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Added a fourth technique of hyperspectral data acquisition, and optimized the structure of that section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sascha Grusche (talk • contribs) 14:00, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Summary of all changes introduced by me: corrected content regarding non-scanning, introduced spatio-spectral scanning according to a recent publication, optimized content and structure in the first few sections; added diagrams and photos to update and illustrate the hyperspectral imaging techniques.

The definition of hyperspectral (HS) opposed to spectral (S) and ultraspectral (US) seems to be a bit vague. The given description supposes that an imaging system is HS if it leaves no gaps in the spectral coverage. The human eye is thus a hyperspectral imaging system: it covers wavelengths from 350nm to 700nm with no gap between each of the three spectral bands (red, green and blue).Janschween (talk) 13:53, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Very nice article. I think it is missing a significant part in biomedical applications. It is missing another technology for measuring spectral images based on Fourier spectroscopy, which is used intensively for different applications, as well as important applications such as spectral karyotyping (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karyotype). Although it is a free platform, I do not want to interfere with a perspective that may be outside of the scope of this term. If there is no objection, I think it is important to add it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ygarini (talk • contribs) 14:08, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Archaeology
The topic of hyperspectral remote sensing was described in an interview of Sarah Parcak in the The Late Show with Stephen Colbert recently. It would be great if we could write up a little section about it's application in archaeological studies. Hamsterlopithecus (talk) 16:26, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Nonexistant(?) source. Title needed.
This source: Schurmer, J.H., (Dec 2003), Air Force Research Laboratories Technology Horizons is practically worthless, as it does not have a retrievable equivalent. I suggest removing it or amending it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KaterFindus (talk • contribs) 22:46, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

In paragraph: Distinguishing hyperspectral from multispectral imaging After the first sentence I would like to add:
 * What I think should be changed:

The technology appeared in the mid-1980s using the terms spectral imaging or imaging spectroscopy. Soon the community more and more pointed it as 'hyperspectral imaging'. Since this technology can not be longer mentioned as groundbreaking, experts recommend the use of the more appropriated original terms.

To propose appropriate terminology.
 * Why it should be changed:


 * References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):
