if i'm spending $100k on a personal vehicle it better have dynamic hyperspectral camouflage and synthetic myomer strength enhancements
if I'm spending $100K on a personal vehicle it better be bipedal and have hardpoints for a brace of PPCs

i’ve always been jealous of their hyperspectral eyes, and appreciate their penchant for mischief
if I was an undersea creature I’d be a mantis shrimp in that I am hyperactive, noisy, like bright colors, and enjoy causing problems

Following the example set by Umbra, the hyperspectral satellite imaging company Wyvern is now making available a subset of its data for free.

This is the first time OSINT users will be able to work with hyperspectral data, & could lead to many interesting use cases.

you can't tell me MOTHRA, or "Modular Optical Telephoto Hyperspectral Robotic Array" isn't the most badass possible name for a telescope array
The MOTHRA array, still being built, will combine 1,140 telephoto lenses into a unique observatory that will map the faint structures that surround & link galaxies -- the connective tissue of the universe. 🔭🧪

We are SO behind industry with hyperspectral satellites. Like 4 years till launch and use? Whew.
ICYMI, some good news from @science.org: NASA has revived its next-generation satellite missions, which will study changing clouds and rainfall and use hyperspectral imagery to chart ecosystems, critical minerals, and greenhouse gases.

These are big climate missions, even if NASA can't say that.

Hyperspectral image of an orchid, captured with 8 quasi-monochromatic LEDs, each revealing a slice of the visible spectrum.
Using linear algebra (PCA), the 8D data is projected into 3D RGB space, minimizing information loss.

I took a look at how new 'Hyperspectral' imaging works, how can you build a camera which captures many times more color channels that the RGB images produced by regular cameras.
