Multispectral (MSI) and hyperspectral (HSI) imaging spectrometers have become essential tools for various applications from agricultural to defense. It is imperative to assess the performance of multi-spectral performance in relevant environmental locations. However, these techniques can be time consuming, expensive, and often a difficult process to assess the spectral properties in the relevant environments and terrains. Therefore, an alternate test methodology will be explored, such as, the utilization of laboratory analysis for predictive means. The method will not replace the need for actual testing, but can reduce the need for such testing. The methodology will utilize a fully spectrally characterized environment and terrain, which will be compared to laboratory measurements across the full spectrum. The correlated results will be described and the effectiveness of the methodology will be assessed.
