*****************************************************************
Analytical Imaging and Geophysics (AIG), Boulder, Colorado, and HyVista Corporation, Sydney, Australia, announce the commercial availability of high accuracy, calibrated hyperspectral data. Data acquired using the "HyMap" sensor, an advanced 126 band commercial hyperspectral scanner are now available for purchase through AIG's web site
(www.aigllc.com) AIG/HyVista organized a North American airborne campaign during 1999 that resulted in acquisition of over 200Gb of hyperspectral data. Preview images are now available on-line and full-resolution, apparent-reflectance 126 band data can be ordered. For additional information, visit the AIG web site, http://www.aigllc.com, or contact AIG at:

AIG/HyVista are also organizing North American hyperspectral airborne campaigns during April-May, and August-September, 2000. AIG invites anyone with an interest in this technology to participate in a commercial "Data Buy" using the HyMap scanner. For more information about this HyMap Data Buy opportunity, contact Dr. Fred Kruse (kruse@aigllc.com or 303-499-9471).
*****************************************************************
Analytical Imaging and Geophysics (AIG), a
Boulder, Colorado company specializing in analysis of advanced remote sensing
data announces their selection for participation in the NASA Earth Observing-1
(EO-1) program. AIG was one of only
two commercial companies selected in a highly competitive process.
Dr. Fred A. Kruse, Senior Scientist and Dr Joseph W. Boardman, Chief
Geophysicist were chosen as members of the E0-1 Science Validation Team.
AIG, the market leader in advanced algorithm development and pipeline
processing of hyperspectral data, will assist NASA with validation of data from
the EO-1 Hyperion sensor. Two AIG
research projects; “Evaluation and Geologic Validation of EO-1 Hyperion”,
and “Validation and Application of Hyperion Imaging Spectrometry Data via
Ecological Applications in Yellowstone National Park” were selected.
EO-1 is the first satellite in NASA's New Millennium Program Earth
Observing series. The EO missions
will develop and validate instruments and technologies for space-based Earth
observations with unique spatial, spectral and temporal characteristics not
previously available. Hyperion, one
of three instruments on board EO-1, is a 220-band imaging spectrometer (hyperspectral
sensor) that will allow spectral identification of Earth-surface materials.
The EO-1 satellite is currently slated for a July 2000 launch.
Dr. Boardman, addressing the importance of AIG’s efforts in
hyperspectral research and NASA programs commented “We see this as an
affirmation of AIG’s pivotal role in bringing hyperspectral technology into
the commercial marketplace. Our
efforts will continue to emphasize the strong link between science, technology,
and practical applications.” For

October 1999
*****************************************************************
Analytical Imaging and Geophysics (AIG) in cooperation
with HyVista Corporation, Sydney,
Australia, organized a North American airborne campaign, using
"HyMap", an advanced 126 band commercial hyperspectral scanner
developed by Integrated Spectronics.
HyMap data acquisition took place in the United States between 3
September and 11 October 1999 (See a
summary paper here). We
invite anyone with an interest in this technology to examine data from the
group shoot. Further
information regarding data available for purchase is available here, or
please indicate your interest by contacting AIG at the address below for
additional information.
