Hi,
2) it depends on :)

Just look for smile correction, e.g.:

with known endmember:

Guanter, L., Segl, K., Sang, B., Alonso, L., Kaufmann, H., Moreno, J.
(2009): Scene-based
spectral calibration assessment of high spectral resolution imaging
spectrometers. - Optics
Express, 17, 14, 11594-11606, DOI: 10.1364/OE.17.011594

with atmospheric absorptions:

Richter, Rudolf und Schläpfer, Daniel und Müller, Andreas (2011)
Operational atmospheric correction for imaging spectrometers
accounting for the smile effect.
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 49 (5), Seiten
1772-1780.
IEEE. DOI: 10.1109/TGRS.2010.2089799.

It's pretty simple to implement. Just use SHARP features.

Cheers
