Hyperspectral Signatures

Figure 10: Hyperspectral signatures in 400-2500 nanometers for some of the leading world agricultural-crops. Hyperspectral data are acquired near-continuously in 1 to 10 nm bandwidths over 400-2500 nm. The figure highlights the specific biophysical and biochemical quantities studied in various portions of the spectrum. Hyperspectral data help in advancing our understanding, modeling, mapping, and monitoring capabilities of agricultural crops and vegetation relative to broadband multispectral data.
