Basics-5.4 Data sources: spectral libraries

[Priscilla Azevedo dos Santos]

All hyperspectral library data are freely available?

[Saskia]

Dear Priscilla,

thank you for your question.

Yes, in the course we present a number of freely accessible spectral libraries containing different surface materials. In some cases, such as the LUCAS SOIL library, a registration is required prior to downloading the data.

There are more and more freely accessible spectral libraries becoming available such as the very recently released Open Soil Spectral Library (https://explorer.soilspectroscopy.org/). Please let us and your fellow students know here in the forum if you find out about more libraries. We may include them in the next version of the course.

Best,

Saskia
