APEX APPLICATIONS
Since an imaging spectrometer samples hundreds of narrow contiguous
spectral bands throughout the visible and short wave infrared electromagnetic
spectrum, it provides relevant input to numerous applications. A
choice of applications successfully applied using imaging spectrometer
data is:
|
| Vegetation Analysis & Forestry |
mapping of healthiness, species identification,
ecosystem monitoring, urban biotope mapping, habitat mapping,
biochemical and -physical parameters (fAPAR, LAI, leaf chlorophyll,
fCover, etc.) |
| Agriculture |
estimation of yields, liquid water content
|
| Snow & Ice
Applications |
snow grain size, fractional snow cover, liquid
water content, snow algae
|
| Coastal Zone
Management |
beach erosion monitoring, oil pollution, harbour/estuary
monitoring
|
| Aquatic Environments |
water quality (chlorophyll content, dissolved
organic carbonates, suspended matter, algal bloom), oil spills |
| Soil Monitoring |
soil moisture, organic carbon content, land degradation,
recultivation planning |
| Atmospheric Applications |
aerosol optical thickness, atmospheric absorption
(CO2, O2, H2, O3, etc.), water vapour, plume detection and
composition (active fires, volcanic activity) |
| Geological Applications |
quantification of mining dumps, mineral identification
and prospection, lithological mapping |
| Security and
Emergency Response |
Spectral signature matching, pollutants leaching
leaking?? (acids, etc.), land-slide prediction, landmine
detection |
| Policy |
quantification and validation of protocols (e.g.
Kyoto, Johannesburg) |
| Space Applications |
Vicarious calibration of satellites, feasibility
of spectrometer concepts in space, spatial and spectral scaling
