Abstract
The detection of contaminated land and evaluation of the toxicity needs high informative data with full areal coverage. One possibility to get these data is to use methods of airborne remote sensing, as e.g. hyperspectral imaging spectrometry. These systems scan the reflected sunlight of the surface with a high spectral resolution. While recording more than 50 spectral bands the data represent a spectrum associated to each point on the ground. This spectra can be interpreted as signatures of the surface material and can be used to classify the data (see figure below).
