 Space-borne hyperspectral imagery can provide valuable information about minerals and other materials present in an area. However, due to its low spatial resolution, it may not be suitable for certain applications. To address this issue, researchers have developed a technique called resolution enhancement which combines hyperspectral data with higher resolution satellite imagery to produce more detailed and accurate results. In this study, the authors used a pair of in-map and sentinel 2 images to simulate a mining area and demonstrate how resolution enhancement can improve the quality of the resulting data. They found that the resolution-enhanced data produced by their method was highly similar to what would be expected from higher resolution hyperspectral data. This suggests that resolution enhancement could be a viable option for minimal mapping applications. This article was authored by Naoto Yokoya, Jonathan Chung-Wai-Chan and Carl Sagle.
