• Management of Hyperspectral images
• Hyperspectral image processing
• Products obtained from Hyperspectral images
• Use of Hyperspectral images

With a focus on increasing our technical capacities and providing the appropriate assistance to the responsible public authorities, ASIG continues the work for the creation of products obtained from satellite images depending on the different Use Cases for the areas covered by the responsible public authorities participating in this workshop.
