Aims and Scope

JSI—Journal of Spectral Imaging is the first journal to bring together current research from the diverse research areas of spectral, hyperspectral and chemical imaging as well as related areas such as remote sensing, chemometrics, data mining and data handling for spectral image data. We believe all those working in Spectral Imaging can benefit from the knowledge of others, even in widely different fields.

We welcome original research papers, letters, review articles, tutorial papers, short communications and technical notes.

All topics are welcomed, including:

  • Agriculture
