Announces a TREES Training Programme on
Advanced Hyperspectral Data Analysis Software Tool – AVHYAS
(11 - 12 February 2021)
Platform: GoTomeeting
Hyperspectral remote sensing technology has advanced significantly in the past two decades, due
to its great potential in characterizing various earth objects which is otherwise not possible using
multi-spectral data. These characteristics of objects/materials enable a myriad of applications
requiring fine identification and estimation of physical parameters. The methods and algorithms
used in multi-spectral remote sensing data analysis are not adaptable for hyperspectral data
processing. The sources of difficulties are, mainly, the high dimensionality and size of the
hyperspectral data, the spectral mixing, and the degradation mechanisms associated with the
measurement process such as noise and atmospheric effects. The Hyperspectral system needs
complex and highly computational intensive data processing and analysis algorithms for various
types of applications.
AdVance HYperspectral data Analysis Software (AVHYAS)
A software tool named AVHYAS (AdVanced HYperspectral data Analysis Software) has been
developed on a back end framework of Python 3.7, Scikit-learn, GDAL, tensor flow while front end
is QGIS 3.14, QT designer by Hyperspectral Technique Development Division
(AMHTDG/EPSA/SAC). AVHYAS software tool is primarily developed to analyze hyperspectral
imaging data as well as Field Spectroradiometer data. However, other main focus of AVHYAS is to
have a platform ready for handling future imaging spectrometer sensors’ data of ISRO. The
designed guidelines basically have three major goals (i) to provide state-of-the-art processing
techniques and algorithms for analyzing high dimensional spectral and temporal remote sensing
data (ii) to provide advanced techniques and algorithms currently not available in COTS packages,
either developed in-house or implemented through literature survey and (iii) to provide a
graphical user interface (GUI) so that most application users can use it, easily.
KEY FEATURES of AVHYAS (version 1.0):
• Plugged in with QGIS platform to utilize the existing pre and post processing,
visualization and GDAL capabilities of QGIS for reading and writing
satellite/airborne data.
• Tensorflow for deep learning, SPAMS for sparse based modeling, Scikit-Learn for
machine learning, AROSICS for co-registration etc.
• Major modules of AVHYAS include atmospheric correction, Classification including
Deep Learning models, spectral unmixing, data quality analysis, target detection,
data fusion, basic tools, PROSAIL simulation tools, feature extraction etc to analyze
hyperspectral data .
• Customised Workflow for Classification and Regression with advanced deep
learning and macine learning algorithms.
• AVHYAS is being continually updated through inclusion of in-house developed
advanced algorithms related to hyperspectral data analysis and geophysical
parameter retrievals. This tool is very useful for researchers, academicians and
application Scientists.
