Hyperspectral Imager Suite (HISUI) is a spaceborne multispectral/hyperspectral system being developed by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan. It consists of a high spatial resolution multispectral spectrometer that collects data at 5 m ground sampling distance with wide 90 km swath and a high spectral resolution hyperspectral spectrometer that provides physical properties of the surface materials with 185 bands. Critical Design Review (CDR) will be held in late 2012. HISUI is expected to be launched in 2015 or later. For the ground segment, designing of the overall system and algorithms for data processing are under development. Automated tool to generate the observation schedule is also developed to best accommodate the data acquisition requests with limited observation resources.

The mucosa of the Rima olfactoria of the nasal septum was examined microscopically. Frontal sections of the nasal and paranasal cavities were prepared from 63 autopsy cases between the ages of two mcnths and 62 years.
Hypertrophy was confirmed in 9 case (14.3%). This condition was most frequently encountered and remarkable at the posterior region of the nasal septum and followed in the order of the middle and anterior region, respectively. The cases after adolescence greatly outnumbered those of the younger age group, and it was more frequently found in males than in females. Furthermore, this condition occurred frequently in those with hypertrophy of other portions of the nasal cavity, in those with pathologic lesions of the ethmoid sinus, and in those with a large Rima olfactoria.
It is considered that the majority occurs from a chronic inflammatory irritation, especially of the posterior portion of the ethmoid sinus and sphenoidal sinus.This condition has a great clinical significance, and more attention should be given to this condition during inspection and operation of the nasal and paranasal cavities.

Sun-synchronous sub-recurrent orbit is a combination of sun-synchronous orbit and sub-recurrent orbit and is the most suitable orbit for Earth observation satellites. A satellite on this orbit regularly passes over the same location on Earth at the same local time. Therefore, the satellite can observe the Earth under the same conditions each time. However, this orbit has a weakness in that the observation frequency is relatively low for high- or medium-spatial-resolution satellites. To overcome this shortcoming, many commercial satellites have a pointing function. In recent years, mini-satellite constellations have attracted attention for their high observation frequency and low launch cost. Novel satellite constellations in non-sun-synchronous orbit have emerged. It is expected that current satellites on sun-synchronous orbit will be constellated with such mini-satellites on non-sun-synchronous orbit. Because non-sun-synchronous orbit has a small inclination, it has disadvantages in that the latitude ranges to be observed are limited and the local observing time at the same observed location varies. However, it has the advantage of making multiple observations on the same day at the same place. It is important to understand the differences in the properties between satellite images captured by satellites on sun-synchronous and non-sun-synchronous orbit in order to develop future applications using both kinds of images. In this research, we conducted a comparison analysis of the radiance spectra of typical objects using multi-temporal images from the Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean (HICO) (non-sun-synchronous) and Landsat-8 OLI (sun-synchronous) images. We found that the spectral patterns of the HICO images matched up with those of the Landsat-8 OLI images after the effects caused by different atmospheric conditions and solar and viewing zenith angles were removed. We concluded that there are relatively small differences between satellite images captured by satellites in non-sun-synchronous and sun-synchronous orbit, and that it is important to correct the radiometric effects caused by various solar zenith angles when performing multi-temporal analysis. In the future, it will be necessary to assess the effects due to Bi-Directional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) in different orbits.

　近年モービルマッピングシステム（MMS）を用いた3次元点群の計測が普及してきた．レーザスキャナの計測方式には飛行時間（ToF）方式と位相差（PS）方式がある．既存研究ではPS方式レーザスキャナの方がToF方式より精度が高いとされている．一方，PS方式では標識など，反射強度の高いものでは特有のノイズであるノニウスジャンプが発生し，形状が正確に把握できない場合がある．そこで本研究ではPS方式のレーザスキャナを搭載したMMSにて色および表面素材の異なるターゲット板に対してレーザ計測を実施し，レーザの入射角度ごとに反射条件・素材条件によるノイズ及びノニウスジャンプの発生状況を調査しその対処法を検討した．その結果，塗料塗布素材，反射素材ともに入射角度60°で計測するのが望ましいことが示された．

This research aims at the development of the mineral identification technique to inquire into the resource using hyper spectral data in arid or semiarid regions. We designed the method by two steps where the minerals were identified from the spectrum. At the first step, to identify the absorption position from the spectrum, we use first derivation spectrums. However, the derivation method emphasizes a noise in the spectrums. To solve this problem, we designed the improved one i.e. giving a median filter to the differentiated spectrum. This method has two advantages, i.e. a rigorous atmospheric correction is not required, and identification is unaffected from the noise of the data. Once the algorithm detects the absorption, we applied least squares fitting of a quadratic curve to around wavelength region of it, for accurate identification of the absorption position.
The next step is identification and quantification of the minerals, using the position and the depth of the absorption features. The content of the minerals is calculated by comparing the content turned out in the identification score and the results of in situ investigation. As a result, we developed the method by which 13 kinds of minerals were able to be identified. Especially, the calcite and the kaolinite were able to calculate the content on the ground.

This paper presents a monitoring method for paddy fields with hyperspectral remote sensing images in West Java, Indonesia. The statistical modeling method called sparse reguralization is introduced in two forms, that is, LASSO regression for the rice yield estimation and sparse discriminant analysis for the growth stage classification of rice plants, in order to take advantages of the detailed reflectance spectrum measured by numerous bands and to overcome the difficulties in hyperspectral image analysis such as model overfitting. Results of the experiment with airborne hyperspectral images measured by HyMap indicate that sparse regularization can predict paddy conditions with higher degree of accuracy than several estimation methods commonly used in remote sensing applications, such as normalized difference spectral index, partial least squares, or support vector machines. Besides, the prediction models have a limited number of bands which are expected to be informative to figure out the rice growth situation. The overall error between predicted rice yield of the target area and agricultural statistics is 6.40 %, showing the potential effectiveness of methods described in this paper.
