• Collects and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum 
  • The goal of hyperspectral imaging is to obtain the spectrum for each pixel in the image of a scene, with the purpose of finding objects, identifying materials, or detecting processes.  
  • In hyperspectral imaging, the recorded spectra have fine wavelength resolution and cover a wide range of wavelengths. 
  • Hyperspectral imaging measures contiguous spectral bands.
