[visionlist] Hyperspectral and RGB colour images

[David H Foster]

HYPERSPECTRAL AND RGB COLOUR IMAGES

Sixteen calibrated hyperspectral images of natural rural and urban 
scenes, ranging in size from 663x721x31 to 1021x1338x33 pixels, are 
available via http://www.visionscience.com under "Hyperspectral 
Images of Natural Scenes", which links to two separate sets of eight 
images, and to a tutorial on transforming hyperspectral image 
reflectances into reflected radiances and RGB colour images.

The tutorial includes sample code (MATLAB, The MathWorks Inc) and 
technical notes on the interpretation of reflectance spectra from 
natural scenes. Also available for download is a zipped package 
containing a small test hyperspectral image, daylight illuminant 
spectra, and a conversion routine for producing sRGB images.

Best,
David Foster
