HYPERSPECTRAL SPACE-BORNE SENSOR HISUI AND ITS DATA APPLICATION

摘要

Hyperspectral Imager Suite (HISUI), which is under development in Japan, consists of hyperspectral and multispectral imagers and is planned to be launched in 2016 or later. The hyperspectral imager has 30m spatial resolution with a swath of 30km covering the range of visible to shortwave-infrared region. To utilize effectively hyperspectral data to be acquired by HISUI imager, Japan Space Systems has been promoting research and development in various fields such as oil, gas and mineral resources, agriculture and environment. This report summarizes some of the outcomes and introduces the anticipated benefits of HISUI imagery for future data users. Finally recent topics about expectation of hyperspectral data to contribute to MRV (Measuring, Reporting and Verification) system on REDD-plus mechanism are introduced.
