    Abstract:
    The Tara Pacific expedition (2016-2018) sampled coral ecosystems around 32 islands in the Pacific Ocean, and sampled the surface of oceanic waters at 249 locations, resulting in the collection of nearly 58,000 samples (Gorsky et al. 2019, Planes et al. 2019, Flores et al. 2020). The expedition was designed to systematically study corals, fish, plankton, and seawater, and included the collection of samples for advanced biogeochemical, molecular, and imaging analysis. Here we provide the continuous dataset originating from the hyperspectral and multispectral spectrophotometers [ACS] instruments acquiring continuously during the full course of the campaign. Surface seawater was pumped continuously through a hull inlet located 1.5 m under the waterline using a membrane pump (10 LPM; Shurflo), circulated through a vortex debubbler, a flow meter, and distributed to a number of flow-through instruments. An [ACS] spectrophotometer (WETLabs) measured hyper-spectral (4 nm resolution) attenuation and absorption in the visible and near infrared except between Panama and Tahiti where an AC-9 multispectral spectrophotometer (WETLabs) was used instead. The flow was automatically directed through a 0.2 µm filter for 10 minutes every hour before being circulated through the spectrophotometer to eliminate the impact of biofouling and instrument drift and estimate particulate absorption [ap] and attenuation [cp] (Slade et al. 2010). Chlorophyll a content was estimated from particulate absorption line height at 676 nm (Boss et al. 2001). The particulate organic carbon concentration [poc] was estimated using an empirical relation (Gardner et al. 2006) between measured [poc] and measured [cp]. An indicator for size distribution of particles between 0.2 and ~20 µm [gamma] was calculated from [cp] (Boss et al 2001). The data was processed with custom software for underway optical data (InLineAnalysis software available on GitHub). The detailed information regarding the data processing is given in the processing report attached with the data and in Lombard et al. (In prep.). These results are preliminary: no matchup with in-situ chlorophyll from HPLC or [poc] measurements were performed.

    Hyperspectral imaging has become a standard for most applications that require precision based analysis. This is due to the fine spectral resolution that hyperspectral data offers. Target detection based on hyperspectral imaging is one of the significant applications required for numerous defence, surveillance as well as many civilian studies. This involves detailed analysis of all bands of hyperspectral data for presence of the desired target. However, there exist many parameters which may have bearing on the performance of detection algorithm. These include sensor related parameters like noise, calibration etc., spatial parameters like size, shape and location etc. and scene parameters like illumination variation, target composition, colour, background etc. This paper demonstrates the implications of three scene parameters namely illumination, background and colour on detection of many known targets using the hyperspectral data. The hyperspectral data acquired over Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) for experimental purposes has been used. Three popular detection algorithms namely, ACE, MF, SAM have been implemented for target detection and the impact of selected parameters is assessed.

    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.

    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.

    This paper explores the applicability of new sparse algorithms to perform spectral unmixing of hyperspectral images using available spectral libraries instead of resorting to well-known end member extraction techniques widely available in the literature. Our main assumption is that it is unlikely to find pure pixels in real hyperspectral images due to available spatial resolution and mixing phenomena happening at different scales. The algorithms analyzed in our study rely on different principles, and their performance is quantitatively assessed using both simulated and real hyperspectral data sets. The experimental validation of sparse techniques conducted in this work indicates promising results of this new approach to attack the spectral unmixing problem in remotely sensed hyperspectral images.

    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.
