With rich geometric and spectral information, applications of hyperspectral images have been highly expected; they have been mainly applied to remote sensing and microscopy presently. The major application to remote sensing is focused on the earth resource investigation and environmental monitoring, such as precision agriculture, mineralogy, forest, ecology, and water quality monitoring, while the application to microscopy is on bio-fluorescence study and spectral images of chemical composition. Development of hyperspectral instruments and image application will be introduced, and the future market forecast will be discussed.
