12 - 17 Jul 2026
HISE seeks presentations of innovations in hyperspectral and multispectral instrumentation, data analysis, algorithm development and technology demonstrations for imaging and sounding of the environment.
Explores advances in all aspects of hyperspectral and multispectral sensing instrumentation and applications.
Recent years have witnessed a proliferation of hyperspectral and multispectral measurement and detection systems with enhanced imaging and sensing capabilities and innovative measurement platforms, such as unmanned aerial systems, autonomous vehicles, satellite constellations and industrial robots.
The wealth of data from these systems is complemented by a parallel proliferation of open-source software tools and innovative algorithms based on artificial intelligence, machine learning and physical models to process content-rich data and retrieve biophysical parameters of interest. These systems and algorithms provide unprecedented opportunities to understand physical and biogeochemical processes in the Earth’s environment.
This meeting specifically targets studies involving hyperspectral or multispectral sensors with a fine resolution in the spectral, spatial or temporal domains, which provide enhanced feature identification and discrimination capabilities for atmospheric, oceanographic and terrestrial applications, including rapid response to natural and anthropogenic disasters.
Studies involving innovative use of physics-based models and statistical approaches such as artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to exploit content-rich data and extract biophysical information are of particular interest.
