The evolution of the methodologies to use the hyper-spectral images allows a different approach in the data analysis, which previously was difficultly practicable.

Analyzing the general availability of metadata concerning the spectral characterization of physiographic units, still today a remarkable deficiency of acquaintances emerges, which regards the data themselves and the validation systems of the radiometric parameters. The methodologies for data archiving and in particular for the comparison between signatures obtained from different platforms, are still in phase of experimentation, for the difficulties of comparisons between the interpretations, due to the different conditions of the answers in the physic-environmental parameters of the objects to investigate.

This collection of spectral signatures can concur at the integration of the measures detected on the field with satellite data, allowing to set up methodical procedures relative to the hyper-spectral images now available; it will be also possible to develop a collection of signatures, on the earth and over the sea, for all the successive controls.
