Spatial response resampling (SR2): Accounting for the spatial point spread function in hyperspectral image resampling by Deep Inamdar, Margaret Kalacska, Patrick Osei Darko, J. Pablo Arroyo-Mora, George Leblanc

“…The importance of the SR2 workflow is shown with three practical applications (data cross-validation, flight planning and data fusion of separate VNIR and SWIR images). • The SR2 workflow derives the point spread function of a specified HSI sensor based on nominal data acquisition parameters (e.g., integration time, altitude, speed), convolving it with a finer resolution HSI dataset for data simulation. • To make the workflow approachable for end users, we provide a MATLAB function that implements the SR2 methodology.…”
