1. A method for localizing and navigating a vehicle on underdeveloped or unmarked roads, the method comprising:
- gathering image data with non-hyperspectral image sensors and audio data of a current scene;
classifying, using a processer, the current scene based on the gathered image data and audio data to identify a stored scene model that most closely corresponds to the current scene;
setting spectral range of hyperspectral image sensors based on a spectral range used to capture a stored scene model that most closely corresponds to the current scene;
imaging the current scene with the hyperspectral image sensors set at the spectral range used to capture the stored scene model that most closely corresponds to the current scene; and
plotting a route for the vehicle based on images of the current scene captured by the hyperspectral image sensors set at the spectral range used to capture the stored scene model that most closely corresponds to the current scene.

Abstract
A method for localizing and navigating a vehicle on underdeveloped or unmarked roads. The method includes: gathering image data with non-hyperspectral image sensors and audio data of a current scene; classifying the current scene based on the gathered image data and audio data to identify a stored scene model that most closely corresponds to the current scene; and setting spectral range of hyperspectral image sensors based on a spectral range used to capture a stored scene model that most closely corresponds to the current scene.

8. A system for localizing and navigating a vehicle on underdeveloped or unmarked roads, the system comprising:
-
a non-hyperspectral image sensor for gathering image data of a current scene about the vehicle; an audio sensor for gathering audio data of the current scene about the vehicle; a control module in receipt of the image data and the audio data of the current scene, the control module configured to; classify the current scene based on the gathered image data and audio data to identify a stored scene model that most closely corresponds to the current scene; set spectral range of a hyperspectral image sensor based on a stored spectral range used to capture the stored scene model that most closely corresponds to the current scene; image the current scene with the hyperspectral image sensor set at the stored spectral range used to capture the stored scene model that most closely corresponds to the current scene; and plot a route for the vehicle based on images of the current scene captured by the hyperspectral image sensor set at the spectral range used to capture the stored scene model that most closely corresponds to the current scene. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
