Congratulations to Gatorsense alumna, Xiaoxiao Du!  Her paper, titled “Multiple Instance Choquet Integral with Binary Fuzzy Measures for Remote Sensing Classifier Fusion with Imprecise Labels”, was recently accepted for publication with The 2019 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (IEEE SSCI 2019).  Xiaoxiao will present her work at the conference in Xiamen, China later this […]

Commitment to a Safe and Inclusive Learning Environment The Machine Learning and Sensing Lab and Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering values broad diversity within our community and is committed to individual and group empowerment, inclusion, and the elimination of discrimination. It is expected that every person in this lab will treat one another with dignity […]

Classes begin this week in the Swamp and all of us in the Gator Sense lab could not be more excited! Fall in Gainesville means football (go Gators!), the end to a rainy, rainy summer, and most importantly, new research opportunities! We are excited to see our friends and collaborators in other labs, welcome back […]

Our labmate and postdoctoral researcher Rene Heim was recently published in Tropical Plant Pathology.  His paper, titled “Breaking down barriers between remote sensing and plant pathology”,  elucidates current hindrances present in interdisciplinary science.  Rene and co-authors specifically address obstacles between remote sensing and plant pathology and provide potential solutions.   Check it out here: “Breaking down […]

Abstract: A critical component for enhancing productivity and quality of food and fiber is the ability to quickly detect and monitor plant diseases in order to prevent or minimize losses to agricultural and forest products (Mahlein 2016). The earlier (prior to or at first symptoms) the diseases can be detected, the lower the risk of control […]

Our labmate and postdoctoral researcher Susan Meerdink recently published three papers in Remote Sensing of Environment. These publications feature a publicly available spectral library, thermal research using an airborne spectrometer, and temporal classification of plant species. Check them out here: “The ECOSTRESS spectral library version 1.0” “Plant species’ spectral emissivity and temperature using the hyperspectral thermal […]

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 single season or over a limited spatial extent due to data availability. NASA’s Hyperspectral Infrared […]

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 due to the lack of suitable data from airborne and spaceborne instruments. The airborne Hyperspectral […]

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, it is often useful to have spectra at the leaf level in order to explain […]

Congratulations to our labmates Ron Fick and Susan Meerdink for being accepted to the 2019 IEEE WHISPERS conference in Amsterdam! The WHISPERS  conference is an annual workshop focusing on advances in remote sensing with hyperspectral data.  Ron will present on his paper titled “Temporal mapping of Hyperspectral Data”. Susan will present a poster of her […]
