Hyperspectral survey

High Speed Rail (Crewe – Manchester) Environmental Statement, Glossary, abbreviations and references, published by the Department for Transport in 2022, defines a hyperspectral survey as: ‘A survey that utilises sensors that detect wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum that are not visible to the human eye. They are used in archaeological surveys to detect features within the historic landscape (e.g. field systems) that cannot be detected in visible wavelengths.’
