Hyperspectral remote sensing can aid in discriminating crop residue owing to the ability of narrow bands to capture the
unique absorption feature of soil and residue. The present study was carried out to find out the suitable narrow spectral
bands and hyper-spectral indices for discriminating wheat residue (stubble and burnt). Ground spectra of wheat residue
and the adjoining soil were collected using the ASD fieldspec™ spectroradiometer. The best spectral range was derived
using the Stepwise Discriminating Analysis (SDA). ‘F’ statistics from one-way ANOVA was used to find out the best
index for discriminating wheat residue from soil. EO1-Hyperion data over Anand-Borsad region of Gujarat state in India
was acquired free of cost from USGS earth explorer website (http://eo1.usgs.gov/) to apply the field based result over the
Hyperion scene. Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) classification scheme was used to generate the wheat residue cover over
the Hyperion scene. Among the hyperspectral indices evaluated for this study the Cellulose Absorption Index (CAI) was
found to be the best and hence CAI was used to classify the Hyperion scene for discriminating crop residue in field and
also the burnt wheat residue. Results indicated that the wave bands at 10 nm width in the SWIR spectral region
specifically from 1500-1700nm and 1900 to 2300nm are most suitable for wheat residue discrimination. The SAM
classification technique is suitable for classifying the wheat residues with an overall accuracy of around 80 % whereas
classification based on CAI could be used successfully to identify both wheat stubble and the burnt residues. This study
concluded that wheat residue can be mapped for a large area with an accuracy of 80% using the space borne
hyperspectral data with.
