The Interdisciplinary Research Experience in Hyperspectral Imaging (IDREHSI)

最近的技术发展和实验室，机载和卫星高光谱成像（HI）数据的可用性增加，导致了HI相关工作的需求不断增长，这需要更多的学习，理解和使用HI的各种应用。该REU网站-在高光谱成像跨学科研究经验（IDREHSI）计划在北方爱荷华州的大学是一个为期8周的暑期学校，介绍了10名本科生，每年一个高度跨学科的研究环境，在HI的基础和应用研究的统一主题。学生参与者将有机会从事基于HI的各种STEM领域的研究，如地理信息科学，地球科学，环境科学，物理学，生物学，计算机科学和大气科学，以满足不同的应用。具体而言，它们将：（1）接触现有的科学方法和实验方法在HI，（2）发展技能，使学生在学术和专业环境中的竞争力，（3）参与科学调查，为他们的研究生学习和/或职业生涯做好准备，（4）在高度跨学科的研究环境中工作，并在基于问题的研究中跨越学科界限，（5）提高他们的自主学习能力;（6）提供讨论与数据收集和使用、实验设计和专业标准有关的伦理问题的机会。IDREHSl REU计划的知识核心和统一主题是HI科学，涉及在广泛的电磁辐射波长范围内由多个连续波段表示的光谱的采集，处理，分析和解释。该计划建立在多年的HI相关研究活动的研究导师谁在HI科学的不同领域工作，并将通过开发REU项目，可以由本科生在八周的计划完成他们的研究与教育相结合。这些项目要么是基于实验室的（涉及矿物和化学污染物、土壤芯、光化学和其他光电特性等材料的微观数据光谱分析）或基于实地的（允许户外数据收集，包括水质监测和评估、作物状况评估、湿地测绘、土壤和沉积物测绘、入侵物种测绘和建模、城市规划、作物产量预测）。参与者将获得专业和个人的经验，这是特别宝贵的年轻科学家。这个网站是由国防部与美国国家科学基金会REU计划合作支持。

Recent technological developments and the increased availability of laboratory, airborne, and satellite hyperspectral imaging (HI) data have led to a growing demand for HI related jobs which calls for greater learning, understanding, and use of HI for various applications. The REU Site - Interdisciplinary Research Experience in Hyperspectral Imaging (IDREHSI) program at the University of Northern Iowa is an 8-week summer school that introduces 10 undergraduate students each year to a highly interdisciplinary research environment with a unifying theme of fundamental and applied research in HI. Student participants will have opportunities to engage in HI based research in various STEM fields such as geographic information science, earth science, environmental science, physics, biology, computer science, and atmospheric science for different applications. Specifically, they will: (1) be exposed to existing scientific approaches and experimental methods in HI, (2) develop skills that make students competitive in academic and professional environments, (3) be involved in scientific investigations that prepares them for graduate studies and/or professional careers, (4) operate in highly interdisciplinary research settings and work across disciplinary boundaries in problem-based research, (5) improve their capability for learning independently, and (6) provide opportunities to discuss ethical issues related to collection and use of data, experimental design, and professional standards. The intellectual core and unifying theme of the IDREHSl REU program is the science of HI that deals with the acquisition, processing, analysis and interpretation of spectra represented by multiple contiguous bands in a wide range of electromagnetic radiation wavelengths. The program builds on years of HI-related research activities by the research-mentors who work in different areas of HI science and will integrate their research with education by developing REU projects that can be completed by undergraduates during an eight week program. These projects are either lab-based (involving microscopic level data spectral analysis of materials such as minerals and chemical contamination, soil cores, photovoltaics, and other electro-optical characterization) or field-based (allowing outdoor data collection including the monitoring and estimation of water quality, crop condition assessment, wetland mapping, soil and sediment mapping, invasive species mapping and modeling, urban planning, and crop yield prediction). Participants will gain professional and personal experiences that are particularly valuable for young scientists.This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
