Ranchi, Mar 24 (PTI) Dr N Rama Rao, professor at Indian Institute of Space Technology (IIST), Kerala, on Tuesday said Hyperspectral remote sensing is redefining mineral and environmental monitoring, especially in regions like Jharkhand.
Rao, addressing a workshop on Hyperspectral and LiDAR data analysis at Ranchi’s Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, said the technology enables precise differentiation between ore and waste, while offering deeper insights into forest health and vegetation stress.
“The technology also plays a crucial role in improving agricultural planning in rainfed plateau areas. Through hands-on work with hyperspectral and LiDAR datasets, we aim to bridge the gap between advanced science and practical application,” he said.
Dr AP Krishna, professor and head of the department of remote sensing and geoinformatics, BIT Mesra and other dignitaries attended the event, which focused on the use of hyperspectral and LiDAR data in resource mapping, environmental monitoring, and geospatial analysis.
As part of the workshop, live classes and laboratory sessions for participants using hyperspectral and LiDAR datasets were also conducted on the occasion. PTI SAN SAN RG
