in image sensors and spectral filtering have allowed the
proliferation of multispectral and hyperspectral imaging systems
for image capture in a wide range of applications, such as
medicine, remote sensing, biology, cosmetics, quality control,
surveillance, food industry, and art observation, just to name a
few.</p>

system architectures and devices, as well as the increase of
computational power, have put spectral imaging to a main stream of
scientific and industrial interest. These imaging systems enable
us to retrieve image data far beyond the capabilities of the human
visual system. A multispectral imaging system usually combines two
to eight spectral imaging bands of relatively wide bandwidth into
a single optical system, whereas a hyperspectral imaging system
combines many narrow spectral bands to get the spectrum at each
pixel location. Therefore, hyperspectral imaging systems integrate
spectroscopic and imaging techniques to enable direct
identification of different components and their spatial
distribution in the tested sample.</p>

capability of sensing a big amount of data pixel-wise, also makes
spectral images become perfect candidates for being used in deep
learning techniques.</p>

computational methods in multispectral and hyperspectral imaging
and processing is rapidly increasing. Nevertheless, the lacking of
publicly available data for some applications (especially if we
compare with the amount of data existing for conventional color
imaging) and the huge amount of information that a spectral image
can contain are acting as deterrents for the extensive use of
recently developed prediction and classification algorithms like
deep-learning-based methods.</p>
