Curricular information is subject to change.

This module is designed for students who wish to understand and become critically aware of the basic principles, practice and applications of hyperspectral imaging. Particular focus is given to the fundamentals of hyperspectral image acquisition and analysis. A series of lectures will inform about standard approaches and configurations for obtaining hyperspectral imaging data, spatial and spectral pre-processing methods and methods of data selection will be introduced. The extension of traditional chemometric tools (e.g. PCA, PLS) to hyperspectral data will be presented. Hands on hyperspectral image analysis using MATLAB. Participants will be provided with hyperspectral data to explore using chemometric tools developed in MATLAB.

About this Module

Learning Outcomes:

1. Understand basic principles of light-matter interaction at different wavelength ranges and spatial scales.
2. Understand concept of hyperspectral image acquisition & distinction between different modalities
3. Understand basic chemometric techniques, pretreatments and image analysis required in HSI– why and when to use them
4. Ability to take HSI data from multiple samples, analyse the data to give meaningful results (i.e. quantification, interpretation)
5. Ability to code analysis for dataset of multiple HSI images in MATLAB
