Hyperspectral Resolution Enhancement

The objective of the Phase I Fast Track SBIR is to develop novel HSI sensor and signal processing techniques for enhancing the spatial resolution content of HS imagery. Due to the importance of the effort, SOC has identified a qualified Phase II partnerto support our effort.The SOC team including SSI, V-EI and CEB Metasystems has identified, developed and evaluated several novel, workable HSI resolution enhancement techniques under other activities, e.g., H/SIP, which have been designed to preserve the spectral radiometricfidelity of the spectral signatures so as to support automated post processing via the MIDIS real-time HSI processor for applications such as JOANNA.To satisfy the objectives of the Phase I program, the SOC team will conduct the following tasks: (1) Develop HSI resolution enhancement techniques; (2) Develop techniques evaluation and ranking criteria; (3) Conduct techniques modeling and simulationanalysis; (4) Determine techniques performance; (5) Define techniques development and demonstration plan; (6) Identify potential sources of capital for commercialization; and (7) Provide reporting. Successful completion of these tasks will satisfy theobjective of our proposed program,
