Hyperspectral data appears to be of a growing interest over the past few years. However, applications for hyperspectral data are still in their infancy. Handling the significant size of hyperspectral data presents a challenge for the user community. To enable efficient data compression without losing the potentiality of hyperspectral data, the notion of data quality is crucial for the development of applications. To assess the data quality, quality criteria relevent to end-user applications are

Several quality criteria adapted to hyperspectral context are evaluated. Finally, five criteria are selected to give a good representation of the degradation nature and level affecting hyperspectral data.
