Processed airborne hyperspectral images and mosaics of a Paranapanema River region in Capivara reservoir, Brazil

This database is a image set of a strongest glint-affected region of inland water Capivara reservoir, Brazil. We carried out a flight survey in September 2016 on the confluence region of the Tibagi and Paranapanema Rivers. We use the hyperspectral camera manufactured by Rikola, model FPI2014, wich collect 25 spectral bands at following intervals and full widths at half maximum (FWHM), both expressed in nanometers (nm): 505.37, (9.51), 515.31 (14.05), 528.55 (14.82), 539.87 (14.03), 546.99 (14.31), 554.99 (13.26), 560.22 (12.11), 570.44 (14.31), 579.58 (13.26), 592.57 (16.57), 605.73 (14.98), 620.22 (16.26), 625.92 (15.47), 655.06 (12.55), 665.72 (15.59), 670.03 (15.74), 681.33 (15.89), 695.04 (14.96), 700.46 (15.44), 707.96 (15.32), 715.19 (15.37), 725.37 (14.72), 737.29 (14.98), 749.87 (15.08) and 780.1 (14.72). 

The external orientation parameters (EOP) are acquired by dual frequency GPS and adjusted with tie points computed by bundle adjustment. We perform individual georeferencing on each individual image.

This dataset present processing using nine approaches to mosaicking individual georeferenced images. Three of then are new proposed methods developed by the authors. Details of processing and methodology are described on the oficial paper (currently in review process of journal).
