Abstract: Accurate knowledge of seasonal and inter-annual distributions of plant species is required for many research and management agendas that track ecosystem health. Airborne imaging spectroscopy data have been used successfully to map plant species, but often only in a… Read More

Plant species’ spectral emissivity and temperature using the hyperspectral thermal emission spectrometer (HyTES) sensor
Abstract: The thermal domain (TIR; 2.5–15 μm) delivers unique measurements of plant characteristics that are not possible in other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, these TIR measurements have largely been restricted to laboratory leaf level or coarse spatial resolutions… Read More
The ECOSTRESS spectral library version 1.0. Remote Sensing of Environment
Abstract: In June 2018, the ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) mission was launched to measure plant temperatures and better understand how they respond to stress. While the ECOSTRESS mission delivers imagery with ~60 m spatial resolution,… Read More

Developing Spectral Libraries Using Multiple Target Multiple Instance Adaptive Cosine/Coherence Estimator
Abstract: Traditional methods of developing spectral libraries for unmixing hyperspectral images tend to require domain knowledge of the study area and the material’s spectra. In this paper, we propose using the Multiple Target Multiple Instance Adaptive Cosine/Coherence Estimator (Multi-Target MI-ACE)… Read More
Temporal Mapping of Hyperspectral Data
Abstract: The increasing popularity of hyperspectral sensors is dramatically increasing the temporal availability of data. To date, algorithms struggle to compare hyperspectral data collected across dates due to different environmental conditions during collection. In this work, we develop a temporal… Read More

Individual tree-crown detection in RGB imagery using semi-supervised deep learning neural networks
Abstract: Remote sensing can transform the speed, scale, and cost of biodiversity and forestry surveys. Data acquisition currently outpaces the ability to identify individual organisms in high resolution imagery. We outline an approach for identifying tree-crowns in true color, or… Read More
