<p>- 24 Abstract Underwater Hyperspectral Imaging Described herein is a method of identifying a material in an underwater scene. The method comprises analysing a specimen of a material (24) extracted from a body of 5 water (22) using a hyperspectral imager to determine a hyperspectral profile of said material (24) and storing said hyperspectral profile. The method also comprises taking an image of an underwater scene in a body of water using said hyperspectral imager or a further hyperspectral imager, generating an observed hyperspectral profile from said image, and comparing said observed hyperspectral profile with 10 said stored hyperspectral profile to identify said material (24) in the image. The method also comprises recording a positive identification when the comparison is sufficiently close.</p> |
