“Hyperspectral
Remote Sensing Technology in Engineering”
I
was very interested in writing a research paper on a very interesting topic
regarding technology in the engineering applications. I have chosen to do the
project by myself and the research topic will be about hyperspectral remote
sensing technology, which is a type of sensing technology that detects
dimensions by reflecting radiation in an electromagnetic spectrum. These
dimensions are analyzed in a hyperspectral cube that processes this data as an
image, which is represented in three various colors, which are red, green, and
blue. Hyperspectral remote sensing technology is a recently developed
technology; geologists around the 1980’s first used it to detect minerals. For
about a century scientists have used imaging spectroscopy in order to identify
each mineral and what it is composed of. However, today experts in the field
are working on research and experiments in order to take advantage of this
technology. Consequently, the scientists and researchers are able to use this
advanced technology to discover and identify various classifications of each
mineral. Some of these classifications include, each mineral’s history and
whether it is manmade or not. This developed technology is used in many
industries in order to aid scientists in identifying the root of the
complications and be able to diagnose them. For example, within the medical
field this technological advancement aids doctors to preform many experiments
that lead to improvement in the health of the people. To be specific, this
helpful source of technology allows doctors to be able to identify how the food
processes within the digestive system. It is very useful for surveillance and
many other purposes.
The
research paper will be explaining and analyzing the engineering applications of
hyperspectral imaging technology, which detects street conditions and traffic
flow on the highways and the roads. It would also allow engineers to discover
and diagnose whether or not there are any issues on the road. This research
will be concentrating on how Hyperspectral imaging technology can be used in
pipelines that transport oil and natural gas. It is crucial to understand how
Hyperspectral remote sensing technology can help engineers discover whether or
not there is damage or rusting within the transporting pipes.

It
is very interesting that you made an argument on how intelligent buildings
projects do not have to be green all the time. I am very interested in the
topic you have chosen because you have related the green houses to the intelligent
buildings. It is also important to consider the challenges engineers are going
to face when developing a design to link between those two systems.

I
didn’t know how useful BIM could be until I took this class. I think your topic
is going to be one of the most interesting ones for me because it is going to
include all the important knowledge an engineer should have before graduating.
I have worked for co-op for a real estate company, but I did not get the chance
to work in the designing department where they use BIM for having separate
system designs. I am one of the students who are really interested in working
for this department after graduation because it will be a very helpful field
for me. Your topic is a very interesting one to discuss, but I think time will
be a challenge when it’s a part of a senior design project.

I
think it is very interesting to relate the intelligent buildings to the green houses
since they follow the same mechanism. However, it is also important to consider
if intelligent buildings require consumes energy that will impact the
environment. Techniques for saving the energy will be a challenging topic to
look for, but really interesting to present.
