ISPRS WG III/2
Spectral and Thermal Data Processing and Analytics
Our Mission 
The main goal of the working group on "Spectral and thermal data processing and analytics" is to stimulate and coordinate research in spectral and thermal data analytics, share among the community state-of-the-art research, highlight current and future R&D challenges, encourage publication of scientific papers, participation in ISRPS events, promote cooperation and coordination with related ISRPS WGs and international scientific organizations.
