AVHYAS: A Free and Open Source QGIS Plugin for Advanced Hyperspectral Image Analysis

Abstract: Advanced Hyperspectral Data Analysis Software (AVHYAS) plugin is a python3 based quantum GIS (QGIS) plugin designed to process and analyse hyperspectral (Hx) images. It is developed to guarantee full usage of present and future Hx airborne or spaceborne sensors and provides access to advanced algorithms for Hx data processing. The software is freely available and offers a range of basic and advanced tools such as atmospheric correction (for airborne AVIRISNG image), standard processing tools as well as powerful machine learning and Deep Learning interfaces for Hx data analysis.
