RE: 3 Amazing things we can now do with Satellites #2
I just started a project using hyperspectral imaging at work. It seems like the first applications of the technology were in satellite images. Have you made any posts on the subject? I need to browse through your blog.
That is really cool. Have you done a post about your project? Or is there a link to a project description? Would be an interesting read.
My posts so far have focused mostly on outreach on what satellites can do generally speaking, and the beautiful images they can provide. Hope to go more in-depth with future posts for those that are interested.
No, unfortunately I can't post anything about my work. The company is very conservative about the information is puts out.
Some of the first hyperspectral images I found were satellite photos of crop land. Each pixel had 256 different variables associated with different parts of the EM spectrum from UV to IR. That is compared to just 3 variables for a normal RGB color photo.
This video was an impressive example of what can be done now using off-the-shelf technology. They have another version of their hyperspectral camera that can be mounted on a drone to make maps.
But I would encourage you to write a post on your project as people may find it fascinating. I'm certainly going to follow you and would be happy to read it :)
