A method for remote scenes classification comprising the steps of (a) preparing a reference template for classification of the remote scenes via (i) classifying a set of reference scenes via a conventional classification technique for obtaining a set of preclassified reference scenes; (ii) using a first spectral imager for measuring a spectral cube of the preclassified reference scenes; (iii) employing a principal component analysis for extracting the spectral cube for decorrelated spectral data characterizing the reference scenes; and (iv) using at least a part of the decorrelated spectral data for the preparation of the reference template for remote scenes classification; (b) using a second spectral imager for measuring a spectral cube of analyzed remote scenes, such that a spectrum of each pixel in the remote scenes is obtained; (c) employing a decorrelation statistical method for extracting decorrelated spectral data characterizing the pixels; and (d) comparing at least a part of the decorrelated spectral data extracted from the pixels of the remote scenes with the reference template.
