There are two conferences looking at hyperspectral imaging in Europe this summer. The first, CHII (Conference on Hyperspectral Imaging in Industry) 2016 is being held in Graz, Austria, on 15 and 16 June. A suggested by its name, the conference is focussed on hyperspectral developments for industrial applications. It aims to bring together the main stakeholders in the field of hyperspectral imaging, to exchange knowledge and to plan for future collaboration projects.
