Imaging Spectroscopy

Imaging Spectroscopy is an advanced remote sensing technology that captures detailed images of objects or landscapes across many different wavelengths of light, beyond what the human eye can see. By analyzing variations in these wavelengths, it can identify materials, assess health, or detect specific features in the environment, such as vegetation, minerals, or pollution. Essentially, it provides a "spectral fingerprint" for each pixel in an image, allowing scientists to gain detailed information about composition and properties at a high spatial and spectral resolution. This technique is valuable in fields like environmental monitoring, agriculture, and geology.
