During October 1995, high spatial resolution hyperspectral imagery
was acquired with the Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL) HYDICE
sensor system over Fort Hood, Texas. Fort Hood, Texas has been a
focal point for our research and experimentations in automated
cartographic feature extraction, stereo analysis and spatial
database construction using panchromatic mapping photography and
digital cartographic datasets. With the addition of a high
resolution hyperspectral dataset, comparable in spatial resolution
to panchromatic mapping imagery, opportunities exist to exploit the
inherent spectral information of the hyperspectral imagery to aid
urban scene analysis for cartographic feature extraction and spatial
database population.
This paper discusses our efforts in registering HYDICE imagery, utilizing HYDICE hyperspectral imagery for surface material/land cover classification and merging this information in a common geographic framework with individual datasets or outputs of our cartographic feature extraction systems. Test areas selected from the Fort Hood image and cartographic dataset will illustrate this process flow.
