The results that have been achieved are promising enough to propose MIVIS hyperspectral sensor as a tool for supporting 
and integrating geographical information systems for risk assessment in an industrial area. When MIVIS images and GIS 
are combined, a powerful tool is created. Spectral imagery provides critical input to GIS thematic layers, maintaining the 
currency and accuracy of the data and serving as a base for the data layers. GIS, on the other hand, provides the capability to 
have additional information incorporated and provides further information data layers that cannot easily be extracted from 
the spectral imagery only. 
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 
We are pleased to acknowledge the comments and suggestions of dr. Riccardo De Paulis and dr. Ennio Giusti and to 
confirm that none of them is responsible for any errors that still remain.
