Call for papers special issue on “Hyperspectral remote sensing and imaging spectroscopy”

Hyperspectral imaging is one of the fast moving areas of research and industrial development in remote sensing. In this special issue of IEEE JSTARS, we aim at gathering high-level contributions dealing with the acquisition and processing of hyperspectral data. By hyperspectral data, we mean signals acquired by spectrometers as well as images acquired from airborne and satellite sensors.

Papers for the special issue must address relevant topics in hyperspectral signal and image processing, and include sound implementation and validation procedures.

The technical topics of interest include (but are not limited to)

• spectrometers and hyperspectral sensors: design and calibration
• physical modelling, physical analysis
• noise estimation and reduction
• dimension reduction
• unmixing, source separation, endmember extraction segmentation,
• segmentation, classification
• high-performance computing and compression

We warmly welcome application papers, including

! airborne and satellite remote sensing,

! monitoring of the environment, pollution, precision agriculture,

! land, soil and mineralogy,

! water bodies, oceans, coastal areas,

! forestry, vegetation,

! urban areas,

! defense applications,

! astrophysics and planetary exploration

The special issue follows the IEEE GRSS WHISPERS 2016 conference (Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing, http://www.ieee-whispers.com) but submission is not restricted to WHISPERS contributors and attendees.

The papers will be judged only by their quality.

Format and preliminary schedule
