Summary

The purpose of this field data collection was to test and compare the OceanInsight HDX Mini Spectrometer as an accessible alternative against the more expensive ASD Fieldspec for collecting ground-based hyperspectral reflectance profiles for landcover analysis. The data collection took place in Dog Head Marsh and South Cape Beach within the Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (WBNERR). The hyperspectral profiles were collected side-by-side with both field-spectrometers using comparable sensor collection settings for various ground cover samples. The terrain and vegetation type of these sample were described as well as surveyed using Real Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTK-GPS). This data was collected within [...]

Purpose

True-color and multispectral reflectance orthomosaics were created to aid in the identification and mapping of invasive Phragmites australis by providing color and reflectance information for creating vegetation indices and calculating texture metrics, which are used in machine learning classification workflows.
