Introduction

This user guide introduces various categories of SPy functions in a tutorial style. If you would like to test the commands presented in the guide, you should download the following sample data files, which are associated with a well-studied AVIRIS hyperspectral image collected over Indiana in 1992. [Landgrebe1998]

Sample Data Files

File Name

Description

92AV3C.lan

A small hyperspectral image chip (9.3 MB) in ERDAS/Lan format. The chip is 145x145 pixels from an AVIRIS image and contains 220 spectral bands.

92AV3GT.GIS

A land-use ground-truth map for the hyperspectral image chip in ERDAS/Lan format.

92AV3C.spc

An AVIRIS-formatted band calibration file for the image chip.

Many of the examples presented in the guide are cumulative, with success of commands issued depending on previous commands and module imports. While it is generally not a good idea to import the contents of entire module namespaces, for brevity, the examples in the user guide assume that from spectral import * has been issued.
