Abstract

With the development of remote sensing technology, true-color visualization of hyperspectral LiDAR echo signals has become a hotspot for both academic research and commercial applications. The limitation of the emission power of hyperspectral LiDAR causes the loss of spectral-reflectance information in some channels of the hyperspectral LiDAR echo signal. The color reconstructed based on the hyperspectral LiDAR echo signal is bound to have serious color cast problem. To solve the existing problem, a spectral missing color correction approach based on adaptive parameter fitting model is proposed in this study. Given the known missing spectral-reflectance band intervals, the colors in incomplete spectral integration are corrected to accurately restore target colors. Based on the experimental results, the color difference between color blocks and the hyperspectral image corrected by the proposed color correction model is smaller than that of the ground truth, and the image quality is higher, realizing the accurate reproduction of the target color.
