Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hyperspectral imaging has revolutionized remote sensing by enabling the capture of high-resolution spectral information across up to thousands of bands, offering unprecedented insights into Earth's surface composition and dynamics. This technology enables precise analysis of materials and features based on their spectral signatures. With the commercialization of underwater, field-portable, airborne, and spaceborne hyperspectral imaging devices, hyperspectral data has been indispensable in a wide range of applications, from smart agriculture and urban planning to resource exploration and meteorology. As the demand for detailed and accurate spectral information continues to grow, advancements in hyperspectral image acquisition, analysis, and application have become increasingly pivotal in addressing complex scientific and practical challenges.
This special issue aims to showcase the latest advancements and innovations in hyperspectral imaging technology, highlighting cutting-edge research that enhances our understanding of hyperspectral data acquisition, analysis, and application across various domains. It encourages contributions that explore new methodologies, algorithms, and practical engineering in the remote sensing community.
We invite original research articles, reviews, technical notes and communication papers. Suggested themes include but are not limited to the following topics:
- Acquisition techniques and computational imaging for hyperspectral remote sensing (e.g., demosaicking, denoising, deconvolution, pansharpening, super-resolution, compression);
- Analysis and calibration for hyperspectral remote sensing (e.g., feature extraction, clustering, unmixing, image fusion, image registration, dimensionality reduction, band selection);
- Application of hyperspectral remote sensing (e.g., water/ocean observation, underwater imaging, vegetation monitoring, oil and mineral exploration, atmospheric composition tracking);
- Review of hyperspectral image processing methods;
- Research directions, opportunities and open challenges in hyperspectral remote sensing in the deep learning era.
