Hyperspectral data processing algorithm comparison software (HyperPACS)

Radiance Technologies has developed and integrated a multispectral / hyperspectral data analysis toolbox into an easy to use operator interface. HyperPACSTM (Hyperspectral data Processing Algorithm Comparison Software) allows the data analyst to process spectral data in multiple input formats with many different spectral algorithms and/or different algorithm parameters and options. Results are compared to user supplied ground truth, and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves providing a direct comparison of algorithm performance are generated. The HyperPACSTM GUI makes the software easy to use, and the architecture readily allows for the integration of custom algorithms provided by the analyst. Radiance has used HyperPACSTM in the evaluation of hyperspectral and multispectral algorithms in support of an ongoing program. A description of HyperPACSTM, the GUI, and processing examples are given.
