Ctr. Room 346Open to all attendees.Workshop Chair: David Allen, National Institute of Standardsand Technology (USA)Panel Moderator: Karen Reczek, National Institute of Standardsand Technology (USA)Panel Members: Ronald Resmini, MITRE Corporation (USA);Oliver Weatherbee, SpecTIR LLC (USA); Terry Slonecker, USGS(USA); Karen Reczek, National Institute of Standardsand Technology (USA)PURPOSE: Hyperspectral imaging as a field is in the process of maturingfrom a specialized tool to a routine method applied to many facetsof society. Standards provide common reference points that foster anunderstanding between different entities. This meeting is intended tosurvey the range of standards currently available and to identify gapswhere new standards are needed. The range of standards open for discussionencompass all aspects related to hyperspectral imaging and mayinclude performance specifications, calibration standards, data formats,terminology, and best practices. This workshop will provide an open forumfor metrology laboratories, instrument vendors, data product analysts,data product vendors, and end-users. The outcome of this meeting willprovide guidance for future activities including an expanded workshop toaddress areas determined to be significant bottlenecks restricting the fullpotential of this field. This meeting is open to all DSS registered attendees.GOALS:• Provide a forum for the hyperspectral imaging community to discusscurrent and needed standards• Identifying international standards organizations that are the mostlogical homes for new standards• Address the need for standards to address regulatory requirements• Discuss the possibility of a uniform set of performance metrics• Discuss the need for traceability to national standards• Consider formalizing best practices+1 360 676 3290 · help@spie.org · (Twitter) #DSS 13
