A Review of the Contributions of Alexander F.H. Goetz to Imaging Spectroscopy

Abstract

All aspects of the science and engineering of imaging spectrometry have been advanced by the work of Dr. Alexander F.H. Goetz over the past 30 years. Dr. Goetz's pioneering efforts were among the first to realize that it was feasible to obtain laboratory like spectra from space that would quantify earth materials based on biogeochemistry. He has made fundamental contributions to developing high spectral resolution field spectrometers and airborne imaging spectrometers, and to the image processing software and atmospheric correction software needed to analyze the data. These parallel developments in core technologies have made imaging spectroscopy available to a wide range of users of varying user expertise and disciplines, thus enabling the current state of rapid advances in the use of this data.

Detección de patrones y anomalías espectrales del terreno mediante espectrometría de imagen de alta resolución : reconocimiento, optimización y evaluación multiescenario

“…El avance significativo en el desarrollo de tecnología hiperespectral desde hace unas décadas, como se describe con precisión en (Ustin et al, 2006), ha permitido el impulso en la investigación sobre detección de anomalías. No sólo se han mejorado los sensores imagen, aportando novedades en los diseños hasta hacerlos completamente digitales, sino que se ha avanzado en las técnicas y el software implementado asociado a ellas, por supuesto, así como en los métodos e instrumentación de validación, en los que se denomina espectrometría de campo y laboratorio.…”
