hyperquest 0.1.6

A Python package for Hyperspectral quality estimation in hyperspectral imaging (imaging spectroscopy)

HyperQuest

hyperquest: A Python package for estimating image-wide quality estimation metrics of hyperspectral imaging (imaging spectroscopy). Computations are sped up and scale with number of cpus.

Important: this package assumes your hyperspectral data is in ENVI format with a .HDR file.

Installation Instructions

The latest release can be installed via pip:

pip install hyperquest

All Methods

Category	Method	Description
SNR	hrdsdc()	Homogeneous regions division and spectral de-correlation (Gao et al., 2008)
	rlsd()	Residual-scaled local standard deviation (Gao et al., 2007)
	ssdc()	Spectral and spatial de-correlation (Roger & Arnold, 1996)
Co-Registration	sub_pixel_shift()	Computes sub pixel co-registration between the VNIR & VSWIR imagers using skimage phase_cross_correlation
Smile	smile_metric()	Similar to MATLAB "smileMetric". Computes derivatives of O2 and CO2 absorption features (Dadon et al., 2010).
	nodd_o2a()	Similar to method in Felde et al. (2003) to solve for nm shift at O2-A. Requires radiative transfer model run.
Radiative Transfer	run_libradtran()	Runs libRadtran based on user input geometry and atmosphere at 1.0 cm-1. Saves to a .csv file for use in methods requiring radiative transfer.
