EnMAP – 1.1 Hyperspectral image preprocessing – what is it and why is it important?

[Afeworki Welday]

Hello everyone!

I’m an Applied Geologist (Hydrogeologist) in profession. In the field of geosciences, hyperspectral data has a wide-range of applications, from water quality monitoring in surface-water bodies (oceans, rivers, lakes and wetlands) to earth resources exploration (mineral exploration). I’m interested to use hyperspectral data in both applications, particularly in mineral exploration.

The importance of hyperspectral image preprocessing lies in its ability to improve the accuracy and reliability of subsequent analysis and interpretation.
