Algorithm Theoretical Basis

The processing algorithm for the HYPERNETS network is called hypernets_processor. The hypernets_processor is a Python software package to process the HYPSTAR land and water in situ hyperspectral visible-near infrared (and short-wave infrared for the land unit) measurements from the HYPERNETS network to surface reflectance products for distribution to users. It is designed to convert the raw data collected from the measurement network under the standard measurement protocols to the designated products. We here describe the products being produced (in Hypernets Products specification), as well as the manner of their production (in Processing Algorithm Description). This document details the theoretical and practical implementation of the methods used.
