Abstract: The hyperspectral remote sensing has greatly improved the efficiency of remote sensing technology, which incidentally proved to be appropriate to analyse large areas according to different quantity and quality parameters in a fast and economic way. Hyperspectral technology can be fitted exquisitely in the agricultural production, in the environment protection and in several other industrial applications. The Hungarian Institute of Agricultural Engineering established the Hyperspectral Working Group, which aims to work out the methodology of the airborne, the field and the laboratory refelectance measurments that will be the basis of future Hungarian hyperspectral technology services, further connections to international research projects, and the theoretical and practical educational framework for training the technology as a part of university education.

Key words: hyperspectral technology, remote sensing, white reference
