The development and uptake of field deployable hyperspectral imaging systems within environmental monitoring represents an exciting and innovative development that could revolutionize a number of sensing applications in the coming decades. In this article we focus on the successful miniaturization and improved portability of hyperspectral sensors, covering their application both from aerial and ground-based platforms in a number of environmental application areas, highlighting in particular the recent implementation of low-cost consumer technology in this context. At present, these devices largely complement existing monitoring approaches, however, as technology continues to improve, these units are moving towards reaching a standard suitable for stand-alone monitoring in the not too distant future. As these low-cost and light-weight devices are already producing scientific grade results, they now have the potential to significantly improve accessibility to hyperspectral monitoring technology, as well as vastly proliferating acquisition of such datasets.
在环境监测领域，可现场部署的高光谱成像系统的发展和应用是一项令人兴奋的创新性进展，有望在未来几十年彻底改变众多传感应用。在本文中，我们重点关注高光谱传感器的成功小型化和便携性提升，涵盖其在多个环境应用领域从空中和地面平台的应用，特别强调了在此背景下低成本消费技术的最新应用。目前，这些设备在很大程度上补充了现有的监测方法，然而，随着技术不断进步，这些设备在不久的将来正朝着达到适合独立监测的标准迈进。由于这些低成本、轻量级的设备已经能够产生科学级别的结果，它们现在有潜力显著提高高光谱监测技术的可及性，并极大地增加此类数据集的获取量。
