They provide a physical interpretation of the correlation between canopy architecture and multi-angle spectral data. The 500m Moderate resolution Imaging Spectroadiometer (MODIS) Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) product from study sites at Howland Forest, Maine are used to develop multivariate linear regression models to estimate canopy vertical structure using both escape probabilities and directional reflectance. These are compared with canopy height information which has been retrieved from the airborne Laser Vegetation Imaging Sensor (LVIS) at a finer scale spatial resolution. Both the escape probability and the directional reflectance approaches achieve similar results with correlation coefficients of 0.63–0.66. This suggests that the MODIS 500m BRDF data can be useful in extrapolating limited lidar information on canopy vertical structure to larger regional areas.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115633557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both the multiple model boundaries and the model's endmembers and abundances are fuzzy. This allows points to belong to multiple groups with different membership degrees.

Due to randomness of PPI, it does not produce an entirely uniform set of directions. Consequently, some directions are favored in the space of pixel vectors, resulting in biased endmember identification. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a new method of construction with non-random uniform directions, which results in a more balanced identification of endmembers. Using a family of artificial examples, we show conditions under which the new method outperforms the classic PPI. In all scenarios, the new method is at least as good as the classic PPI.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129385892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is simple to show that the data are typically not multivariate Gaussian or are not well defined by linear geometries when considering the entire image, particularly as the spatial resolution improves and the scene becomes more cluttered. Here, we use the concept of a convex hull that encloses the data to rank local regions within an image by an estimate of their complexity. The complexity as defined here is directly related to the volume of the hull in n dimensions that encloses the data under the assumptions that less complex data will have fewer distinct materials and more complex data will have more materials. They will also be more widely separated in the hyperspace. The method uses the Gram Matrix approach to estimate the volume of the hull and is applied to an image that has been tiled. The complexity of each tile is then estimated showing the relative changes in complexity over a large area spectral image. Results will be shown for reflective hyperspectral imagery over different scene contents with resolutions of ≈2–3 m. Ultimately this methodology can be used to develop localized models of an image and may provide insight into the large area search problem.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130974834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this system an atmospheric correction algorithm was developed to simultaneously correct multiple overlapping images taken from different heights. First, the algorithm estimates the main atmospheric parameters with an inversion procedure using either radiometric ground measurements or image homologous areas plus a single ground measurement. Then, the code is applied to the images to obtain atmospherically corrected hyperspectral imagery. The algorithm was applied in the frame of ICC-Banyoles 2005 experiment (Spain) using multi-height imagery and field simultaneous reflectance measurements. In the validation step, the standard deviations obtained with both inversion methods were similar. In order to improve these results, the smiling effect (spectral shift) for the sensor is characterized by locating O2 absorption bands in the NIR for each CASI look direction. Additionally, a more accurate spectral sensitivity for each band has been calculated. These improvements are applied to EuroSDR-Banyoles 2008 experiment's (Spain) imagery. These results show a substantial improvement on the atmospheric correction at the absorption regions when compared to field reflectance measurements. This behaviour advises the inclusion of these developments in the inversion system.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129910451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main goal of this approach is to ensure the non-negativity of the unmixed source spectra as well as of the abundances. Moreover, a recent extension has been proposed to impose the sum-to-one (full additivity) constraint on the estimated source abundances of each pixel. Unfortunately, even though non-negativity and full additivity are two necessary properties to get physically interpretable results, the use of BPSS algorithms is limited by high computation time and large memory requirements since these Bayesian algorithms employ Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. This article describes an implementation strategy which allow to apply such algorithms on a full hyperspectral image, of typical size in Earth and Planetary Sciences, with reasonable computational cost. In this paper, not only optimizations on the technical level are proposed but we also study the effect of convex hull pixel selection as a preprocessing and sampling step and discuss the impact of such preprocessing on the relevance of the estimated component spectra and abundance maps, as well as on the whole computation times. For that purpose, two different datasets are employed: a synthetic one and a real hyperspectral image from Mars.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127281997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
