2. What is Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) ?
Hyperspectral images are constructed by sampling multiple spectral bands for each pixel or discrete spatial sampling location.
Produces a set of images, each acquired over a relatively narrow electromagnetic bandwidth.
Images contain large amounts of data.

3. Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI)
Technique
Collect image data simultaneously
Dozens or hundreds of narrow, adjacent spectral bands
Purpose
Obtain a complete reflectance spectrum for the region being analyzed
Image pixel
Spectral information over the hundreds of bands to generate a "data cube"

4. Sampling the Spectrum

5. Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI)
Hyperspectral Imaging, also referred to as Imaging Spectrometry, combines:
conventional imaging,
spectroscopy, and
radiometry
to produce images for which a spectral signature is associated with each spatial resolution element (pixel)

8. Research Process
In order to gather the necessary information about Hyperspectral Imaging we used the following tools:
Database searches – most of the articles where found using this tool.
Internet Portal searches – provide ways to search for books, newspaper articles and websites on the specific topic.
Research on published papers and thesis– peer reveiwed papers provide credible sources of information. They are a good way to get up to speed quickly and efficently on the topic at hand.

9. Research Process

10. Conclusion
The process of finding information relating to these specific topic was not very difficult. The world wide web provides means to find information on almost anything we need. Database searches provide excellent results with proven resources including thesis, published papers and peer-reviewed articles. These is just an example of how the research process has moved from just going into a Library and searching for books and materials on a specific topic. Difficulties confronted in this research was gaining the initial knowledge on resources; what are they and how to differentiate between good and bad resources.
