NSCPHD1190 Hyperspectral and Multichannel Image analysis

Volume 2013/2014
Content
The course is designed to be an introduction to hyperspectral and multichannel images and their analysis in MATLAB environment. During the course, the students will learn how to extract the relevant information from their images as well as the fundamentals of the main multivariate analysis methods (chemometrics) applied. The course will be conducted by using in-house functions programmed in MATLAB. See the following link for further information (http://www.models.life.ku.dk/HYPERTools)

Learning Outcome
After the course the students will be able to apply basic multivariate data analysis to their own hyperspectral images using MATLAB as preferred platform. The course will focus on hyperspectral and multichannel images and their interpretation and analysis with multivariate methods (PCA, MCR, PLS, PLS_DA, etc). The methods treated will explicitly or implicitly cover the following application areas: classification, calibration, prediction, spectral resolution and interpretability of solutions.
Handouts and scientific papers provided during the course; scripts and source code provided during the course.
Contact Teaching: Slides. The students will follow all the exercises in their own computers. - Learning: Theoretical and practical exercises. - Educational approaches: Students with different educational background.
A PhD course in basic MATLAB programming and analysis is held one week before this course. Please contact José Amigo Rubio (jmar@life.ku.dk) for more information on this course.
