Access to large hyperspectral and earth observation databases is transforming how we analyse the Earth’s surface — from satellite-scale coverage to high-resolution UAV, tripod, and lab-based imaging. Join our hands-on training session at the ESA Living Planet Symposium 2025 and learn how to unlock the full value of these information-rich datasets.

In this hands-on training, we aim to make (hyper)spectral analysis more accessible by introducing the open-source Python toolbox hylite and its associated GUI interface napari-hippo. We begin with a short overview of widely used Earth observation datasets, including multi- and hyperspectral data. While our training focuses on hyperspectral data – the most data-intensive – we will highlight techniques that can be applied to other optical datasets as well (such as multispectral).
