Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD) Signature Collection and Validation Using IRS P6-Lissiv and Ground Truth Spectoradiometer

Abstract

Field spectroscopy is a nondestructive way to collect information on natural resources and is becoming a common exercise in remote sensing field campaigns. Specific absorption features of reflectance spectrum can be used to identify a number of important rock forming minerals, and have been used by geologists for geologic mapping and studies of volcanoes. The spectral database provides a source of reference spectra useful in classification of hyperspectral images. In this research focus on application of ground truth spectoradiometer for inventory of manmade feature, natural feature spectral studies for better understanding spectral signatures and reflectance in global level.
