Abstract: The VIMS imaging spectrometer onbord CASSINI provides hyperspectral images of Titan in 352 spectral channels from 0.3 to 5.1 μm. In-frared channels are particularly useful to map the sur-face of Titan through narrow atmospheric transmission windows [1,2]. VIMS can be used for geomorphologi-cal studies thanks to the imaging capabilities. The spectral dimension is used to investigate the composi-tion of the surface materials. We focus here on the improvement of the S/N ratio both for surface imaging and spectral studies.
