Abstract
A method for defining targets in hyperspectral image data of a scene, has the steps: (1) identifying a target within the scene; (2) fitting a plurality of conjoined hyperplanes about the target in the scene; and (3) fitting a shape to the identified target by shrinkwrapping the hyperplanes about the target by translating and rotating the hyperplanes until a specified fit parameter is satisfied.
