A method of tracking motion of at least one object of a group of moving objects using hyperspectral imaging includes, among other things, obtaining a series of hyperspectral image frames; comparing each frame in the series to a template to determine changes in the image between frames; identifying a group of pixels in each frame associated with the changes; identifying changes as motion of the moving objects; correlating the pixel groups frame to frame to spatially determine at least one parameter of the motion of the objects; and correlating the pixel groups with a spectral reflectance profile associated with the at least one object wherein the track of the at least one object is distinguishable from the tracks of other moving objects.

Method of tracking objects using hyperspectral imagery

A methodof modeling hyperspectral images includes building a scene in a first frame with objects and materials using a three dimensional modeling tool, selecting one or more hyperspectral bands and changing the reflectivity of each object and materialin the scene to correspond to reflectivity in the hyperspectral bands, changing the emissivity of a spectral sourcefor each object and material in the scene to correspond to the emissivity of the spectral source in the hyperspectral bands, rendering the scene to generate a hyperspectral image, and repeating the process for subsequent frames
