Hyperspectral On-Line: A Scheme for the Web Delivery of Data and Mapping Products Derived from Large Data Volumes
There is no doubt that hyperspectral remote sensing is characterized by large data volumes and processing requirements that may not be available in commercial software or are complex enough to require specialist attention. And thus there can be developed an argument that these facts are retarding the wider adoption of hyperspectral remote sensing by the general user community.
Web-server technology that hosts and delivers images from large data repositories is already in general use both in the commercial and government sectors. There are also a growing number of sources for web-delivered pre-processed map products; for example global NVDI maps derived from MODIS or fire maps delivered by the SENTINEL system.
This paper describes developments in delivering map products derived from hyperspectral data; map products that may be derived from generally accepted processing techniques or perhaps tailored to the specific requirements of the individual client.
