Abstract
The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is a plant pathogen that can block the flow of water and nutrients through the xylem. Xf symptoms may be confounded with generic water stress responses. Hyperspectral imaging can be used to detect Xylella fastidiosa in a machine learning framework using Vcmax and leaf biochemistry quantified with airborne hyperspectral imager.
Detection of symptoms induced by vascular plant pathogens in tree crops using high-resolution satellite data: Modelling and assessment with airborne hyperspectral imagery
By: T. Poblete, J.A. Navas-Cortes, A. Hornero, C. Camino, R. Calderon, R. Hernandez-Clemente, B.B. Landa, P.J. Zarco-Tejada
Abstract
• Detection of symptoms due to vascular pathogens was evaluated with satellite imagery.
• Hyperspectral and thermal images used as benchmark to assess the detection performance.
• Both spectral bandsets were accurate to detect intermediate and advanced stages of infection.
• Multispectral satellite data were unable to detect early stages of infection accurately.
• Combining airborne thermal with satellite data improved accuracy up to 15% & κ ≥ 0.2.
Deterioration Effects on Bricks Masonry in the Venice Lagoon Cultural Heritage: Study of the Main Façade of the Santa Maria dei Servi Church (14th Century)

Abstract
Meanwhile, XRPD and hyperspectral analysis (HA) detected sulfates (e.g., gypsum and mirabilite) as the main weathering products due to the salt decay process that affects monuments in the Venice lagoon environment. Moreover, secondary phases, such as Mg- and Ca-zeolites, occurred in bricks where the groundmass observed by OM was more vitrificated, and the XRPD patterns displayed the highest amorphous content. On-site mapping of sulfates and chlorophyll by HA was also performed on the main façade of the Church, highlighting the large presence of salts and biodeterioration.
Dividend of the Spectrum, Extance, Electro Optics
By: ElectroOptics.com
Abstract
When Dutch researcher Paul Crutzen won the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering the ozone decay threat, the Netherlands government established a firm policy to study atmospheric gases. This led to the NSO and ESA developing hyperspectral-imaging satellite payloads. Imaging spectroscopy commonly uses gratings to break up the light instruments receive into separate regions of the spectrum and direct them to different detectors. Diffraction gratings are a core technology for Headwall Photonics. David Bannon, the company’s chief executive officer, explains that Headwall is able to make aberration-corrected image sensors using convex diffraction gratings built with precise groove profiles and depths.
Drone-based hyperspectral remote sensing of cyanobacteria using vertical cumulative pigment concentration in a deep reservoir
By: Yong Sung Kwon, JongCheol Pyo, Yong-Hwan Kwon, Hongtao Duan, Kyung Hwa Cho, Yongeun Park
Abstract
This study demonstrates that the application of vertical cumulative pigment concentration and subsurface Rrs measurement in bio-optical algorithms can improve their performance in estimating pigments, and that drone-based hyperspectral imagery is an efficient tool for the remote sensing of cyanobacterial pigments over a wide area.
Effect of leaf temperature on the estimation of photosynthetic and other traits of wheat leaves from hyperspectral reflectance
By: Hammad A Khan, Yukiko Nakamura, Robert T Furbank, John R Evans
Abstract
A growing number of leaf traits can be estimated from hyperspectral reflectance data. These include structural and compositional traits, such as leaf mass per area (LMA) and nitrogen and chlorophyll content, but also physiological traits such a Rubisco carboxylation activity, electron transport rate, and respiration rate.
Estimating the spatial distribution of soil total arsenic in the suspected contaminated area using UAV-Borne hyperspectral imagery and deep learning

As a rapid and convenient technique, As a rapid and convenient technique, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with hyperspectral camera offers a promising way for estimating the distribution of total arsenic in soil.
Evaluation of AVIRIS-NG hyperspectral images for mineral identification and mapping
By: Mahesh Kumar Tripathi, H. Govil
Abstract
Advancement of airborne hyperspectral remote sensing techniques provides subtle variations to identify minerals and to make distinctions between rock formations. These techniques clearly define barren land versus economically viable zones containing ores and minerals. As we know profitable mineral zones are commonly associated with hydrothermal alteration zones, hyperspectral remote sensing techniques have the capability to identify and distinguish between altered, weathered, and clay minerals.
Evaluation of Canopy Growth in Rainfed Olive Hedgerows Using UAV-LiDAR
By: Susana Cantón-Martínez, Francisco Javier Mesas-Carrascosa, Raúl de la Rosa, Francisca López-Granados, Lorenzo León, Fernando Pérez-Porras, Francisco C. Páez, and Jorge Torres-Sánchez
Hedgerow cultivation systems have revolutionized olive growing. Because traditional canopy measurements are costly in terms of time and effort, the use of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor onboard an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) was tested.
Exploring the potential of airborne hyperspectral image for estimating topsoil organic carbon

Abstract
Estimating soil organic carbon (SOC) in topsoil can help improve soil quality and food production. This study aimed to explore the potential of airborne hyperspectral image to estimate the SOC of bare topsoil at an agricultural site located in the southeast part of Iowa State, United States.
