Airborne Hyperspectral Remote Sensing

Abstract

Visible radiation is the only electromagnetic tool that directly probes the water column, and so is key to Naval systems for bathymetry, mine hunting, submarine detection, and submerged hazard detection. Hyperspectral imaging systems show great promise for meeting Naval imaging requirements in the littoral ocean. To support the development of these applications and to test design features for the Coastal Ocean Imaging Spectrometer (COIS) to be flown on the Naval Earth Map Observer (NEMO) spacecraft (Wilson and Davis, 1998, in press) in 2001 we have designed and built the Ocean PHILLS instrument. The overall goal is to demonstrate the utility of airborne and spaceborne hyperspectral imaging for the characterization of the littoral zone. T
