Data from the Earth Observing-1 Hyperion instrument were used. Apart from atmospheric influences or topographic effects, the data represent a good choice in order to show different steps of the preprocessing process targeting sensor-internal sources of errors. These include diffuse sensor noise, striping, smile-effect, keystone effect, and spatial misalignments between the detector arrays. For ...

Leaf area index (LAI) is an important bio-physical character of vegetation and can be effectively achieved through remote sensing technology. However the LAI inversion from low resolution data induces a scaling bias due to the heterogeneous of the surface and model non-linearity, which may cause the scale effect on the LAI estimate. In this work, the Yingke oasis of Heihe River is selected as t...

Karst rocky desertification is a special kind of land desertification developed under violent human impacts on the vulnerable ecogeo-environment in karst ecosystem. The process of karst rocky desertification results in simultaneous and complex variations of many interrelated soil, rock and vegetation biophysical parameters, rendering it difficult to develop simple and robust remote sensing mapp...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Radiotherapy (RT) volumes for anal cancer are large and of moderate complexity when organs at risk (OAR) such as testis, small bowel and bladder are at least partially to be shielded. Volumetric intensity modulated arc therapy (VMAT) might provide OAR-shielding comparable to step-and-shoot intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for this tumor entity with better treatment eff...

The Earth Observing One (EO-1) satellite has completed 16 years of Earth observations in early 2017. What started as a technology mission to test various new advancements turned into a science and application mission that extended many years beyond the satellite’s planned life expectancy. EO-1’s primary instruments are spectral imagers: Hyperion, the only civilian full spectrum spectrometer (43...

The Airborne Hyperspectral Scanner (AHS) and the Hyperion satellite hyperspectral sensors were evaluated for their ability to predict topsoil organic carbon (C) in burned mountain areas of northwestern Spain slightly covered by heather vegetation. Predictive models that estimated total organic C (TOC) and oxidizable organic C (OC) content were calibrated using two datasets: a ground observation...

The successful launch of Hyperion in November 2000 bridged the gap between the high-resolution (spatial and spectral) airborne remote sensing and the lower resolution satellite remote sensing. Although designed as a technical demonstration for land applications, Hyperion was tested for its capabilities over a range of water targets in Eastern Australia, including Moreton Bay in southern Queensl...
