Aggregation of Hyperion hyperspectral spectral bands into Landsat-7 ETM+ spectral bands

The LANDSAT-7 ETM+ spectral bands centered at 479nm, 561 nm, 661 nm and 834 nm (bands 1, 2, 3, and 4) fall nicely across the Hyperion VNIR hyperspectral response region. They have bandwidths of 67nm, 78nm, 60 nm and 120 nm, respectively. The Hyperion spectral bandwidth of 10.2 nm results in 10 to 15 Hyperion spectral samples across each Landsat band in the VNIR. When the Hyperion spectral responses in the 10.2 nm bands are properly weighted to aggregate to a given Landsat band, the radiometric response of the Landsat band can be reproduced by Hyperion. Landsat bands 5 and 7 centered at 1650 and 2207 nm (with bandwidths of 190 and 250 nm respectively) fall in the Hyperion SWIR spectral response region. Hyperion spectral response for one area of a scene in Railroad Valley, NV on May 13, 2001 has been binned into Landsat bands and compared with Landsat values collected at the same time.
