MATLAB Code for Reading and Writing Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Images

Resource Overview

MATLAB implementation for reading and writing hyperspectral remote sensing images with support for BSQ, BIL, and BIP data formats. The format type is specified by the 5th number in the header file (*.lxw), which can be edited using standard text editors.

Detailed Documentation

This MATLAB code provides functionality for reading and writing hyperspectral remote sensing images. The implementation supports three common data formats: BSQ (Band Sequential), BIL (Band Interleaved by Line), and BIP (Band Interleaved by Pixel), which are determined by the 5th numeric value in the accompanying *.lxw header file. The header file can be modified using any text editor like Notepad.

The code structure allows for easy modification and extension based on specific requirements. Potential enhancements include adding image processing capabilities such as image enhancement algorithms, classification methods, and feature extraction techniques. The modular design facilitates integration of additional functions while maintaining code readability. Users are encouraged to add comprehensive comments and documentation to improve code maintainability and accessibility for other developers.
