Abstract
This article reviews the potential of Hyperspectral Remote Sensing (HRS) technique in various geological applications ranging from lithological mapping to exploration of economic minerals of lesser crustal abundance. This work updates understanding on the subject starting from spectroscopy of minerals to its application in exploring mineral deposits and hydrocarbon reservoirs through different procedures such as atmospheric correction, noise reduction, retrieval of pure spectral endmembers and unmixing. Besides linear unmixing, nonlinear unmixing and parameters attributed to nonlinear behaviour of reflected light are also addressed. A few case studies are included to demonstrate the efficacy of this technique in different geological explorations. Finally, recent developments in this field like ultra spectral imaging from unmanned aerial vehicles and its consequences are pointed out.

A transformation for ordering multispectral data in terms of image quality with implications for noise removal

TL;DR: In this paper, a transformation known as the maximum noise fraction (MNF) transformation is presented, which always produces new components ordered by image quality, and it can be shown that this transformation is equivalent to principal components transformations when the noise variance is the same in all bands and that it reduces to a multiple linear regression when noise is in one band only.

Diffuse radiation in the Galaxy

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the observed intensity of the diffuse light may be explained as scattered radiation if the phase function governing the scattering of starlight by the interstellar matter is strongly forward-throwing.

Spectral unmixing

TL;DR: The outputs of spectral unmixing, endmember, and abundance estimates are important for identifying the material composition of mixtures and the applicability of models and techniques is highly dependent on the variety of circumstances and factors that give rise to mixed pixels.
