This paper deals with fast and accurate visualization of pushbroom image data from airborne and spaceborne platforms. A pushbroom sensor acquires images in a line-scanning fashion, and this results in scattered input data that need to be resampled onto a uniform grid for geometrically correct visualization. To this end, we model the anisotropic spatial dependence structure caused by the acquisition process. Several methods for scattered data interpolation are then adapted to handle the induced anisotropic metric and compared for the pushbroom image rectification problem. A trick that exploits the semiordered line structure of pushbroom data to improve the computational complexity several orders of magnitude is also presented.

Ultraviolet (UV) hyperspectral imaging shows significant promise for the classification and quality assessment of raw cotton, a key material in the textile industry. This study evaluates the efficacy of UV hyperspectral imaging (225-408 nm) using two different light sources: xenon arc (XBO) and deuterium lamps, in comparison to NIR hyperspectral imaging. The aim is to determine which light source provides better differentiation between cotton types in UV hyperspectral imaging, as each interacts differently with the materials, potentially affecting imaging quality and classification accuracy.

The Europa Imaging System (EIS) consists of a Narrow-Angle Camera (NAC) and a Wide-Angle Camera (WAC) that are designed to work together to address high-priority science objectives regarding Europa's geology, composition, and the nature of its ice shell. EIS accommodates variable geometry and illumination during rapid, low-altitude flybys with both framing and pushbroom imaging capability using rapid-readout, 8-megapixel (4k × 2k) detectors. Color observations are acquired using pushbroom imaging with up to six broadband filters.

Here we describe the data obtained by a successful proof-of-concept initiative to launch the first ocean color imager on board a CubeSat satellite and collect research-grade imagery at severalfold higher spatial resolution than any other ocean color satellite mission. The 3U CubeSat, named SeaHawk, flew at a nominal altitude of 585 km. Its ocean color sensor, HawkEye, collected 7,471 research-grade push-broom images of 230 × 780 km at best-in-class 130 × 130 m per pixel.

Significance: Hyperspectral imaging sensors have rapidly advanced, aiding in tumor diagnostics for brain tumors. Linescan cameras effectively distinguish between pathological and healthy tissue, whereas snapshot cameras offer a potential alternative to reduce acquisition time.

Aim: Our research compares linescan and snapshot hyperspectral cameras for brain tissues and chromophore identification.

The use of linear array pushbroom images presents a new challenge in photogrammetric applications when it comes to transforming object coordinates to image coordinates. To address this issue, the Best Scanline Search/Determination (BSS/BSD) field focuses on obtaining the Exterior Orientation Parameters (EOPs) of each individual scanline. Current solutions are often impractical for real-time tasks due to their high time requirements and complexities.
