Goal: This workshop aims to bring together researchers and other users who are interested in the application of hyperspectral remote sensing and field spectroscopy. It will be a forum of exchange of ideas and information, as well as to foster collaboration and cooperation between professionals interested in this field. In addition, a hands-on tutorial session will be conducted, if there is sufficient number of interested participants.

The 28th Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (http://www.macres.gov.my/acrs2007) will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 12-16th November 2007, while the International Workshop on Earth Observation Small Satellites for Remote Sensing Applications will be held in Malaysia from 20-23 November 2007 (http://www.eoss2007.org/workshop.asp). This Hyperspectral Remote Sensing workshop is independent of these two conferences.

Topics

· Sensors and platform systems, including field spectroradiometers

· Spectral vegetation indices and data transformation

· Analytical techniques for hyperspectral data

· Enhancement and classification of hyperspectral imagery

· Application to forestry, agriculture, geology and mining, ecology, environmental and resource management, engineering, etc.

· Future developments in hyperspectral sensing and processing
