Preface

The evolution of optical remote sensing over the past few decades has enabled the availability of rich spatial, spectral and temporal information to remote sensing analysts. Although this has opened the doors to immense possibilities for analysis of optical remotely sensed imagery, it has also necessitated advancements in signal processing and exploitation algorithms to keep up with advances in the quality and quantity of available data. As an example, the transition from multispectral to hyperspectral imagery requires conventional statistical pattern classification algorithms to be modified to effectively extract useful information from the high dimensional hyperspectral feature space. Although hyperspectral imagery is expected to provide a much detailed spectral response per pixel, conventional algorithms developed and perfected for multispectral data would often be suboptimal for hyperspectral data. At best, they would require a significant inc
