Additional Datasets

Additional hyperspectral datasets to explore beyond Wyvern, including NASA AVIRIS / AVIRIS-NG, Germany's EnMAP mission, and the NEON airborne observatory.

Atmospheric Correction

Why hyperspectral imagery needs atmospheric correction to convert L1B top-of-atmosphere radiance to L2A surface reflectance, and tools (ATCOR, ENVI QUAC, ACOLITE, Py6S) for Wyvern data.

Geospatial Basics

Geospatial fundamentals for earth observation: the difference between vector and raster data, common file formats, and how they are used with Wyvern hyperspectral imagery.

Hyperspectral Basics

An introduction to hyperspectral imaging: the electromagnetic spectrum, and how panchromatic, multispectral, and hyperspectral earth observation imagery differ.

Hyperspectral Image Formats

Hyperspectral image formats explained: the data cube concept and common raster formats including GeoTIFF, ENVI, and HDF5 used to store hyperspectral imagery.

Hyperspectral Signatures

How spectral signatures identify materials in hyperspectral imagery, plus mixed pixels, endmember extraction (spectral unmixing), and pixel classification techniques.

Material Reflectance Libraries

Material reflectance spectral libraries for hyperspectral analysis, including the USGS Spectral Library, Reading's urban surfaces library, and the ECOSTRESS Spectral Library.

Processing Levels

Earth observation processing levels (L0–L4) explained, plus the details of Wyvern's L1B top-of-atmosphere radiance product, including projection, units, and delivery format.

Understanding the STAC Format

Understand the SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) — items, catalogs, and collections — why Wyvern uses STAC to deliver imagery, and tools like PySTAC for accessing it.
