Welcome to another episode. This one is all about hyperspectral Earth observation. You might have come across this buzzword quite a bit in the last couple of years in the space industry.

So, I decided to invite Guerric de Crombrugghe from ScanWorld to understand what all of this means. Guerric runs a startup based in Belgium building products for the agriculture sector using hyperspectral imagery from space.

In this episode, we discuss what is hyperspectral data, its applications, how ScanWorld uses hyperspectral data, their plans and roadmap and some interesting topics related to the Earth observation market.
