This document summarizes a research paper that analyzed hyperspectral data in the 400-500nm visible and near infrared (VNIR) spectrum for precision agriculture applications. Specifically:
1) Hyperspectral imagery of the Amravati region of India was classified using maximum likelihood classification to determine soil, water, and vegetation indices. Spectral graphs showed reflectance curves for each.
2) The analysis aims to extract information about the terrain from hyperspectral data in a way that is easily understood. Such data provides more accurate information than multispectral data due to the large number of narrow bands.
3) Supervised classification with maximum likelihood was used to categorize pixels into classes for producing the
