1. A computer-implemented method for compensating for irregular motion in three-dimensional spectroscopy comprising:

  • receiving a plurality of spectrographs for a series of respective locations and corresponding images of the respective locations, each spectrograph of the plurality of spectrographs being produced using a spectrographic data set of a plurality of spectrographic data sets, each of the plurality of spectrographic data sets being measured by a spectrometer and each of the corresponding images being captured by a camera at substantially a same time, the spectrometer being coupled to the camera such that the spectrometer and camera move in tandem and at least partially share a same point of view;

    generating a continuous image using the corresponding images, the generating the continuous image including global feature matching among the corresponding images and assigning coordinates to each of the corresponding images using a coordinate system, the global feature matching including determining features among the corresponding images, the features including at least one of hills, mountains, trees, buildings, roads, and rivers;

    identifying a respective corresponding position in the continuous image for the each spectrograph, such that the each spectrograph is a measurement of the respective corresponding position; and

    associating the each spectrograph with the respective corresponding position.
