Mini-UAV-Borne Hyperspectral Remote Sensing: From Observation and Processing to Applications

Abstract

In recent years, with the rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and lightweight hyperspectral imaging (HSI) sensors, mini-UAV-borne hyperspectral remote sensing (HRS) systems have been developed and demonstrate great value and application potential. Compared to spaceborne and airborne HSI systems, mini-UAV-borne HSI systems come with relatively low manufacturing and running costs and have thus become a new research focus in the field of HRS.
