Description

The proposal development of software tools related to airborne image spectrometry in general and to the new, Europe-unique, AVIRIS-4 hyperspectral sensor in particular. This sensor is operated by ARES, a consortium of Swiss universities. The AVIRIS-4 sensor has been constructed by NASA-JPL and, per agreement between ARES and NASA-JPL, all data produced by the sensor will have to be made publicly available. The aims of this project were to develop tools for manually geo-tagging the produced hyperspectral images and analyzing the accuracy of their co-registration. In line with FAIR principles, this supports the interoperability and re-usability of the AVIRIS-4 data. The new tools developed within his project are currently used to support the efforts of ARES in treating the multiple terabytes of data that has already been acquired by AVIRIS-4, but are applicable to evaluating the quality of other airborne hyperspectral images.
