Hyperspectral and Hyperspatial Analysis |
The hyperspectral characteristics of agricultural crops have been studied by Prasad Thenkabail et al to explore and identify the most useful wavebands and indices. Optimal hyperspectral wavebands have been recommended to study agricultural crops. The study is expected to contribute to the investigation of agricultural crops using new satellite sensors and/or in the design of future sensors.

The latest generation of new satellite sensors provide much greater spatial resolution than was previously available. Some of these hyperspatial datasets are being investigated for precision farming studies.
