“…Several hyperspectral sensors have been used to acquire data for a number of different applications, such as thematic mapping, geology, hydrology, agricultural assessment, mineral exploration, and study of global environmental and climate changes. Some important sensors include the hyperspectral digital imagery collection experiment, 17 airborne visible/infrared imaging spectrometer, 18 reflective optics system imaging spectrometer, 19 compact airborne spectrographic imager, 20 airborne imaging spectrometer, 21 airborne imaging spectrometer for different applications, 22 geophysical and environmental research imaging spectrometer, 23 hyperspectral mapper, 24 aerosol mass spectrometer, 25 airborne prism experiment, 26 compact high-resolution imaging spectrometer, 27 digital airborne imaging spectrometer, 28 and thermal infrared multispectral scanner. 29 The analysis of hyperspectral data has received growing interest from the community, since they have spectral attributes with high discriminative power.…”
