Special session: Imaging spectroscopy with snapshot and frame-based sensors - from sensor calibration to data product generation

Chair: Helge Aasen, ETH Zurich, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Switzerland, helge.aasen@usys.ethz.ch
András Jung, Szent István University, Hungary and Leipzig University, Germany

Due to technological advances, novel snapshot and frame-based camera systems are increasingly used in the context of imaging spectroscopy from ground, drone and airborne platforms. In contrast to common pushbroom systems, they record spectral information with two spatial dimensions within every measurement. This opens up a great potential to create information applicable for several applications. On the other hand, new data processing schemes are required to handle the captured data and create reliable data products.

The main purpose of this session is to stimulate an exchange of ideas and discussion on e.g.:

In addition, contributions that address specific challenges, based on theoretical considerations or practical experiences, are also welcome.

Keywords: snapshot imaging spectroscopy, frame-based imaging spectroscopy, radiometric and geometric calibration, sensor concepts and developments, metadata
