HyperVein: A Dataset for Human Vein Detection from Hyperspectral Images

This folder contains a subset of hyperspectral images from the "HyperVein: A Dataset for Human Vein Detection from Hyperspectral Images" dataset, which originally consists of 200 images.

This folder includes:

1. A hyperspectral image dataset containing 10 hyperspectral images representing the left and right hand image capture of 5 volunteer participants. The images named with 'a' (e.g. 1a.bil) are left-hand images and those named with 'b' (e.g. 1b.bil) are right-hand images. Both the image file in band interleaved format (.bil) and the header (.hdr) file have been provided for each image. 

2. A dataset containing the ground truth for each of the hyperspectral images. The ground truths are of dimensions 1024 by 1024 representing the selected ROI used for the vein detection experiment. This region can be mapped out using dimensions: row = 291:1314, column = 360:1383. A folder containing the ground truth images scaled to 0 and 255 for visualization purposes is also included.

3. An example MATLAB file for reading and displaying the hyperspectral images named 'Read_HS_Image'. Make sure to download and install the Hyperspectral Image Processing Toolbox on MATLAB first before running codes.
