Hyperspectral Imaging
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a technique that acquires a spectrum for each pixel of an object, capturing detailed wavelength information across numerous narrow bands. The resulting data are structured as a “data cube,” which adds wavelength (λ) as a third dimension alongside the spatial x and y coordinates.
