AN AUTOMATED PROCESSING CHAIN FOR THE RETRIEVAL OF GEOREFERENCED REFLECTANCE DATA FROM HYPERSPECTRAL EO-1 HYPERION ACQUISITIONS

Spaceborne hyperspectral imaging becomes more and more important for remote sensing applications. Data acquisitions from current sensors having VNIR and SWIR detectors, like Hyperion on the EO-1 platform, and future sensors, such as EnMAP, MSMI, HISUI, Prisma or HyspIRI, require precise data preprocessing to enable the variety of applications they are designed for. Most applications require continuous spectra over the VNIR and SWIR wavelength range (e.g. geological applications) and georeferenced reflectance as data process level to be independent of illumination and sensor geometry, to reduce the influence of the atmosphere during the acquisition and to enable the integration of application related outputs information into spatially larger georeferenced information systems.
