This paper reviews Canadian airborne and spaceborne hyperspectral Earth observation (EO) activities. Civilian uses for hyperspectral imaging include agriculture, environment, fisheries (including aquaculture), forestry, geoscience, disaster mitigation, and other areas. Canadian progress in applications development, space technology, and ground processing and analysis is discussed. Current and future hyperspectral satellite missions are listed, along with Canadian participation. The paper concludes by outlining the Canadian Space Agency's current plans to develop a spaceborne hyperspectral imager. |
