 Using ArcGIS for Geospatial Analysis With Multi/Hyperspectral Data Track: Remote Sensing Imagery Author(s): Jared Ware Geospatial data fusion can be conducted with ArcGIS using vector and raster data sets, specifically raster data containing spectral information. Geospatial analysis can be enhanced using both multispectral and hyperspectral data sets. Conversely, spectral analysis can be enhanced through geospatial information. The combination of geospatial information and spectral data can result in a product that can be analyzed by both geospatial analysts and spectral scientists. Such analysis can solve a host of problems (environmental, socioeconomic, military) that could not have been realized using traditional, stand-alone approaches to geospatial and spectral analysis. The purpose of this paper is to show how the functionality of ArcGIS, with a focus on the Spatial Analyst and 3D Analyst extensions, along with ArcMap and ArcScene, can enhance geospatial analysis through the use of multispectral and hyperspectral data sets.
