Land Cover Image Endmembers in Aviris Imagery in the Neuse River Basin, North Carolina

چکیده
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) is conducting hyperspectral remote sensing (imaging spectroscopy) methods development research in the Neuse River Basin, North Carolina. Science objectives have focused on the potential applications of hyperspectral imagery for vegetation discrimination in biologically diverse ecosystems. Imagery was collected by NASA’s Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) on July 20, 1999 along a single northwest-southeast oriented flight line in the Atlantic Coastal Plain between New Bern and Kinston, North Carolina. Overall research goals include the evaluation of well-characterized and high signal-to-noise AVIRIS data for vegetative community discrimination and to evaluate (simulation) the potential application of MODIS-based spectral unmixing for vegetation discrimination in the broader Albemarle-Pamlico Basin (APB).

Land Cover Subpixel Change Detection using Hyperspectral Images Based on Spectral Unmixing and Post-processing
The earth is continually being influenced by some actions such as flood, tornado and human artificial activities. This process causes the changes in land cover type. Thus, for optimal management of the use of resources, it is necessary to be aware of these changes. Today’s remote sensing plays key role in geology and environmental monitoring by its high resolution, wide covering and low cost...

—The Carolina madtom Noturus furiosus is an imperiled stream ictalurid that is endemic to the Tar and Neuse River basins in North Carolina. The Carolina madtom is listed as a threatened species by the state of North Carolina, and whereas recent distribution surveys have found that the Tar River basin population occupies a range similar to its historical range, the Neuse River basin population h...
متن کاملEndmember selection for multiple endmember spectral mixture analysis using endmember average RMSE
Multiple endmember spectral mixture analysis (MESMA) models mixed spectra as a linear combination of endmembers that are allowed to vary in number and type on a per pixel basis. For modeling an image using MESMA, a parsimonious set of endmembers is desirable for computational efficiency and operational simplicity. This paper presents a method of selecting endmembers from a spectral library for ...

Introduction As part of the April 2000 AVIRIS Hawaii Deployment, two researchers from UCSB were sent to Hawaii to collect supporting field data. The primary goal of the fieldwork was to obtain spectra of bright targets to be used for retrieving surface reflectance from AVIRIS imagery. Secondary goals included recording the spectra of dominant vegetation, marking the position of homogeneous land...
