Book Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of Nearshore Water Quality

Download or read book Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of Nearshore Water Quality written by Sima Bagheri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides details on of the utility of hyperspectral remote sensing – NASA/AVIRIS in nearshore water quality issues of NY/NJ. It demonstrates the use of bio optical modeling and retrieval techniques to derive the concentrations of important water quality parameters (chlorophyll, color dissolved organic matter and suspended sediments) in the study area. The case study focuses on the nearshore waters of NY/NJ considered as a valued ecological, economic and recreational resource within the New York metropolitan area. During field campaigns (1998-2001) measurements were made to establish hydrological optical properties of the NY/NJ nearshore waters with concurrent NASA/AVIRIS overflights. The field measurements included: 1) concurrent above and below surface spectral reflectance; 2) shipboard sampling for determination of inherent optical properties (IOP); and 3) concentrations of optically important water quality parameters. Understanding the relationship between reflectance, absorption and scattering is essential for developing the analytical algorithm necessary to use remote sensing as a monitoring /management tool in the nearshore environment.

Book Atmospheric Correction Algorithm for Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of Ocean Color from Space

Download or read book Atmospheric Correction Algorithm for Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of Ocean Color from Space written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing atmospheric correction algorithms for multichannel remote sensing of ocean color from space were designed for retrieving water-leaving radiances in the visible over clear deep ocean areas and cannot easily be modified for retrievals over turbid coastal waters. We have developed an atmospheric correction algorithm for hyperspectral remote sensing of ocean color with the near-future Coastal Ocean Imaging Spectrometer. The algorithm uses lookup tables generated with a vector radiative transfer code. Aerosol parameters are determined by a spectrum-matching technique that uses channels located at wavelengths longer than 0.86 mm. The aerosol information is extracted back to the visible based on aerosol models during the retrieval of water-leaving radiances. Quite reasonable water-leaving radiances have been obtained when our algorithm was applied to process hyperspectral imaging data acquired with an airborne imaging spectrometer.

Book Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of the Coastal Ocean  Adaptive Sampling and Forecasting of Near Shore In Situ Optical Properties

Download or read book Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of the Coastal Ocean Adaptive Sampling and Forecasting of Near Shore In Situ Optical Properties written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to identify bathymetry, submerged obstacles, bottom type, or water clarity is clearly required for Mine Warfare (MIW), Mine counter Measures (MCM), and Naval Special Warfare (NSW), particularly in Very Shallow Water (VSW), riverine and estuarine environments. The HyCODE program was developed to explore 6.1 and 6.2 research into remote sensing and nowcast/forecast systems to more fully develop the potential of environmental optics for Naval operations. FERI participated at all three HyCODE sites - LEO-15, West Florida Shelf, and COBOP. The remote sensing aspects of this program were very successful, leading to numerous publications, as well as continuing ONR programs in hyperspectral remote sensing. The remote sensing technologies developed here were also transitioned to other agencies (e.g. NOAA) developing coastal monitoring operations. The ROMS/EcoSim forecasting subroutines of predictive optics and ecology are available in the current release v2.1 of the ROMS/TOMS code set, as well as in the v2.3, when available. This open source code is a boon for the community of modelers who may wish to explore optical and ecological interactions without having to start the development of optical forecast modeling from scratch. We have also demonstrated the value of coupling optics and ecology to advanced circulation models, in particular by showing the far field impacts of poorly constrained assimilations of physical data on the non-conservative optical and ecological tracers. This feedback between physical and optical simulations will allow for improved predictions of each in future coastal nowcast/forecast systems.

Book Coupling Simulated Ocean Reflectance to the Atmospheric Correction of Hyperspectral Images

Download or read book Coupling Simulated Ocean Reflectance to the Atmospheric Correction of Hyperspectral Images written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ocean hyperspectral remote sensing is more difficult than terrestrial hyperspectral remote sensing. The difficulties stem from two major differences between oceanic and terrestrial systems. The first is in the "darkness" of the ocean target versus the terrestrial target. The second is in the spectral differences in the reflectance, particularly in the near infrared (NIR). While these factors were known qualitatively, this program focused on the quantification of the importance of these factors in the characterization, calibration, deployment, atmospheric correction, product generation, and product delivery of coastal ocean hyperspectral information.

Book Application of Experimental Design Theory to Ocean Remote Sensing With a Hyperspectral Detector

Download or read book Application of Experimental Design Theory to Ocean Remote Sensing With a Hyperspectral Detector written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A method based on a theory of experimental Optimal Design (OD) was developed in Russia to select the best combination of wavelengths so an optically remote spectral sensor may optimally estimate oceanic chlorophyll concentration. It gives the number of spectral bands, their center wavelength, and each band's spectral width to make the best estimate of chlorophyll concentration in a fixed observation time. A hyperspectral sensor is convenient because it eliminates the need for variable optical filters. An ideal sensor would have an infinite number of infinitesimally narrow spectral bands. Optimal designs are given for both ideal and real sensors. The designs were computed using ocean radiance spectra simulated by a Monte Carlo model for a range of chlorophyll concentrations. The computed OD was tested for robustness over a wide range of experimental conditions. The methods of color index and principal component analysis were also applied. The optimal design method gives more accurate chlorophyll estimates.

Book Coral Reef Remote Sensing

Download or read book Coral Reef Remote Sensing written by James A. Goodman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote sensing stands as the defining technology in our ability to monitor coral reefs, as well as their biophysical properties and associated processes, at regional to global scales. With overwhelming evidence that much of Earth’s reefs are in decline, our need for large-scale, repeatable assessments of reefs has never been so great. Fortunately, the last two decades have seen a rapid expansion in the ability for remote sensing to map and monitor the coral reef ecosystem, its overlying water column, and surrounding environment. Remote sensing is now a fundamental tool for the mapping, monitoring and management of coral reef ecosystems. Remote sensing offers repeatable, quantitative assessments of habitat and environmental characteristics over spatially extensive areas. As the multi-disciplinary field of coral reef remote sensing continues to mature, results demonstrate that the techniques and capabilities continue to improve. New developments allow reef assessments and mapping to be performed with higher accuracy, across greater spatial areas, and with greater temporal frequency. The increased level of information that remote sensing now makes available also allows more complex scientific questions to be addressed. As defined for this book, remote sensing includes the vast array of geospatial data collected from land, water, ship, airborne and satellite platforms. The book is organized by technology, including: visible and infrared sensing using photographic, multispectral and hyperspectral instruments; active sensing using light detection and ranging (LiDAR); acoustic sensing using ship, autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and in-water platforms; and thermal and radar instruments. Emphasis and Audience This book serves multiple roles. It offers an overview of the current state-of-the-art technologies for reef mapping, provides detailed technical information for coral reef remote sensing specialists, imparts insight on the scientific questions that can be tackled using this technology, and also includes a foundation for those new to reef remote sensing. The individual sections of the book include introductory overviews of four main types of remotely sensed data used to study coral reefs, followed by specific examples demonstrating practical applications of the different technologies being discussed. Guidelines for selecting the most appropriate sensor for particular applications are provided, including an overview of how to utilize remote sensing data as an effective tool in science and management. The text is richly illustrated with examples of each sensing technology applied to a range of scientific, monitoring and management questions in reefs around the world. As such, the book is broadly accessible to a general audience, as well as students, managers, remote sensing specialists and anyone else working with coral reef ecosystems.

Book Hyperspectral Imaging for Fine to Medium Scale Applications in Environmental Sciences

Download or read book Hyperspectral Imaging for Fine to Medium Scale Applications in Environmental Sciences written by Michael Vohland and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-05-14 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the Special Issue “Hyperspectral Imaging for Fine to Medium Scale Applications in Environmental Sciences” was to present a selection of innovative studies using hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in different thematic fields. This intention reflects the technical developments in the last three decades, which have brought the capacity of HSI to provide spectrally, spatially and temporally detailed data, favoured by e.g., hyperspectral snapshot technologies, miniaturized hyperspectral sensors and hyperspectral microscopy imaging. The present book comprises a suite of papers in various fields of environmental sciences—geology/mineral exploration, digital soil mapping, mapping and characterization of vegetation, and sensing of water bodies (including under-ice and underwater applications). In addition, there are two rather methodically/technically-oriented contributions dealing with the optimized processing of UAV data and on the design and test of a multi-channel optical receiver for ground-based applications. All in all, this compilation documents that HSI is a multi-faceted research topic and will remain so in the future.
