Advanced HSI Workshop Syllabus

The cooperative Horizon GeoImaging, LLC/Analytical Imaging and Geophysics, LLC (AIG) advanced hyperspectral workshops apply hyperspectral analysis concepts to real-world problems. The first day is a concepts review and hands-on processing using the latest hyperspectral software, the "Environment for Visualizing Images" (ENVI) with data chosen by student consensus from a variety of available HSI datasets. Students select a second hyperspectral dataset addressing a scientific problem of their choosing for use during the remainder of the course. The second day includes advanced lectures on atmospheric correction and students use the ACORN or FLAASH atmospheric correction software to correct the selected datasets for atmospheric absorption and scattering. The final two days of the workshop include advanced lectures and demonstrations and focus on hands-on analysis of the selected hyperspectral data using ENVI, culminating with student presentations and discussions of analysis results.
