Hyperspectral imaging

In hyperspectral remote sensing is understood in a sensor system that can record images of very many, closely spaced wavelengths. The eye sees the environment multispectral in the wavelengths of the primary colors red, green and blue. Hyperspectral systems record data from 20-250 different channels that range of wavelengths in the ultraviolet to long wave infrared. Hyperspectral sensors are usually used by aircraft or satellite. From the reflectance characteristics of vegetation and soil formations can be derived, for example, about vegetation indices statements about the health status of the plants. Unlike a panchromatic recording, you get a lower spatial resolution.
