I've created a Python library for working with spectral images. It started as a mix of work and personal interest. Since I work in research, I brought together a lot of useful code to make handling spectral images easier and packaged it into this library. I hope others find it helpful too! :blush:

what exactly does one do with hyperspectral images? Or what do you do with your library?
There is a multitude of applications leveraging parts of the spectra different than the visible. I come from an agricultural background, and you can see examples from improving classification of land use, detection and classification of diseases, nutritional status assessment, indirect measurements of properties of plants and soil... it is endless, and every time any part of the tool stack gets cheaper, you have more and more potential applications. This comment [1] have a nice description for the library.
