Pre-processing and classification of airborne hyperspectral data for wetlands mapping

The focus of this study is on information extraction from wetland areas using Pushbroom Hyperspectral Imager (PHI) data in Sungai Kisap, Langkawi. PHI data with high spatial and spectral resolution (2 m spatial and 5 nm spectral resolution) is very sensitive to variations in the reflectance of an ob...
