Abstract
We have developed a marine rescue system that detects human related information at sea by the onboard hyperspectral sensor and studied real - time processing algorithm. As an abnormality detection, the Reed-Xiaoli Detector had worked effectively. In our method the SAM (Spectral Angle Mapper) had been combined to this method for further precise detection. The demonstration experiment was executed at sea side distinct, where the detection system using the hyperspectral camera was mounted on a helicopter. The detection precision assumed to be over 99% in our developed algorithm.
