Abstract

A processing apparatus is connected to one or more terminals including a hyperspectral sensor that generates compressed image data which is hyperspectral information of a target compressed as two-dimensional image information over a network. The processing apparatus includes a storage device that stores data sets of samples and a first reconstruction table for generating hyperspectral data from the compressed image data, the data set of each sample includes hyperspectral data of the sample and data indicative of a property value of the sample; and a processing circuit that generates a statistical model for estimating the property value from the hyperspectral data on the basis of the data sets of the samples and generates a second reconstruction table by editing the first reconstruction table in accordance with the statistical model thus generated.
