Abstract :
NASA´s EO-1 Hyperion sensor, launched in November 2000, provides the first opportunity to evaluate short-wave-infrared (SWIR) spaceborne hyperspectral capabilities. Hyperion covers the 0.4 to 2.5 μm range with 242 spectral bands at approximately 10 nm spectral resolution and 30 m spatial resolution. Selected validation results for geology over USA sites with abundant ground truth and airborne hyperspectral data are described.
