    Hyperspectral imaging systems are well established, for satellite, remote sensing and geosciences applications. Recently, the reduction in the cost of hyperspectral sensors and increase in the imaging speed has attracted computer vision scientists to apply hyperspectral imaging to ground based computer vision problems such as material classification, agriculture, chemistry and document image analysis. Hyperspectral imaging has also been explored for face recognition; to tackle the issues of pose and illumination variations by exploiting the richer spectral information of hyperspectral images. In this article, we present a detailed review on the potential of hyperspectral imaging for face recognition. We present hyperspectral image aquisition process and discuss key preprocessing challenges. We also discuss hyperspectral face recognition databases and techniques for feature extraction from the hyperspectral images. Potential future research directions are also highlighted

    In this paper, a laboratory-based hyperspectral imaging system is used to acquire hyperspectral data cubes from different algae samples of known mixtures. The data are obtained under controlled and repeatable conditions. Hyperspectral image processing is complicated by the size of the corresponding datasets so hyperspectral image pre-processing techniques such as dimensionality reduction are necessary before spectral analysis. We assessed hyperspectral response of mixed algal cultures containing two algae types to characterize the laboratory-based hyperspectral imaging system. Changes in the hyper spectral imaging system's response to variations in volume and combinations of algae concentrations were tested. Preliminary results demonstrate the system's capability to differentiate algal species, concentrations and sample volumes.

    The inherent chemical properties of materials can be brought into perspective using the large amount of spectral information provided by hyperspectral imaging systems. Therefore, the utilization of hyperspectral imaging in industrial applications is gradually increasing. One of the industrial sectors that can benefit from the advantages of hyperspectral imaging is recycling. Plastics which have different chemical properties (PP, PE, PVC, PET and PS) need sorting for plastic waste recycling. In this study, different types of plastics in hyperspectral images acquired using a shortwave infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral imaging system are successfully sorted.

    Hyperspectral imaging based precise fertilization is challenge in the northern Europe, because of the cloud conditions. In this paper we will introduce schemes for the biomass and nitrogen content estimations from hyperspectral images. In this research we used the Fabry-Perot interferometer based hypespectral imager that enables hyperspectral imaging from lightweight UAVs. During the summers 2011 and 2012 imaging and flight campaigns were carried out on the Finnish test field. Estimation mehtod uses features from linear and non-linear unmixing and vegetation indices. The results showed that the concept of small hyperspectral imager, UAV and data analysis is ready to operational use.

    <span>Hyperspectral unmixing (HU) is an important technique for remotely sensed hyperspectral data exploitation. Hyperspectral unmixing is required to get an accurate estimation due to low spatial resolution of hyperspectral cameras, microscopic material mixing, and multiple scattering that cause spectra measured by hyperspectral cameras are mixtures of spectra of materials in a scene. It is a process of estimating constituent endmembers and their fractional abundances present at each pixel in hyperspectral image. Researchers have devised and investigated many models searching for robust, stable, tractable and accurate unmixing algorithm. Such algorithm are highly desirable to avoid propagation of errors within the process. This paper presents the comparison of hyperspectral unmixing method by using different kind of algorithms. These algorithms are named VCA, NFINDR, SISAL, and CoNMF. The performance of unmixing process is evaluated by calculating the SAD (spectral angle distance) for each endmembers by using same input of hyperspectral data for different algorithm.</span>
    The large number of spectral bands acquired by hyperspectral imaging sensors allows us to better distinguish many subtle objects and materials. Unlike other classical hyperspectral image classification methods in the multivariate analysis framework, in this paper, a novel method using functional data analysis (FDA) for accurate classification of hyperspectral images has been proposed. The central idea of FDA is to treat multivariate data as continuous functions. From this perspective, the spectral curve of each pixel in the hyperspectral images is naturally viewed as a function. This can be beneficial for making full use of the abundant spectral information. The relevance between adjacent pixel elements in the hyperspectral images can also be utilized reasonably. Functional principal component analysis is applied to solve the classification problem of these functions. Experimental results on three hyperspectral images show that the proposed method can achieve higher classification accuracies in comparison to some state-of-the-art hyperspectral image classification methods.

    Hyperspectral imaging technology has been broadly applied in remote sensing because it collects echoed signals from across the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum and provides fruitfully helpful information. However, the processing or transformation of high-data-volume hyperspectral images, also viewed as snapshots varying with the EM spectrum, burdens the hardware resources, especially for the high spectral resolution and spatial resolution cases. To tackle this challenge, a novel reduced-order method based on the dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) algorithm is presented here to analyze hyperspectral images. The method decomposes the spatial-spectral hyperspectral images in terms of spatial dynamic modes and corresponding spectral patterns. Then, these spatial-spectral patterns are utilized to recover the raw hyperspectral images. Our proposed approach is benchmarked by the actual hyperspectral images measured at the Salinas scene. It is demonstrated that the proposed approach can represent the hyperspectral images with a low-rank model in spectral dimension. Our proposed approach could provide a useful tool for the model order reduction of hyperspectral images.

    Hyperspectral image sensors provide images with a large number of contiguous spectral channels per pixel and enable information about different materials within a pixel to be obtained. The problem of spectrally unmixing materials may be viewed as a specific case of the blind source separation problem where data consists of mixed signals and the goal is to determine the contribution of each mineral to the mix without prior knowledge of the minerals in the mix. The technique of independent component analysis (ICA) assumes that the spectral components are close to statistically independent and provides an unsupervised method for blind source separation. We introduce contextual ICA in the context of hyperspectral data analysis and apply the method to mineral data from synthetically mixed minerals and real image signatures.

    Hyperspectral imaging has the potential of delivering highly accurate results due to its high spatial and spectral resolutions. However, to ensure relevant and highly accurate end results, the processing steps need to go through rigorous quality assessments. This article provides a generic hyperspectral dataset suitable for designing quality assessment protocols for spectral image processing algorithms. The dataset consists of hyperspectral images of 195 pigment patches and spectral libraries originating from 327 unique pigments. Additionally, two examples of how it can be used for the evaluation of distance functions are also provided.
