The fields of laser microscopy and remote sensing have much in common. Both require sophisticated analysis of digital imagery; both can contain information in spectral, as well as spatial, dimensions; and in both worlds, sensors can operate in different 'modes' to provide imagery containing complementary as well as supporting information. Here at MacDonald Dettwiler we have applied our remote sensing expertise to the design of a multi-mode, hyperspectral, image analysis prototype, that is applicable to both MIMCOM (Multi-Imaging Mode Confocal Optical Microscope) and remote sensing image analysis. This paper describes the functionality of the prototype, and evaluates the usefulness of the prototype in a specific evaluation scenario for remote sensing imagery.
