Description

In order to achieve and validate our scientific objective of imaging and unmixing NPV (Non Photosynthetic Vegetation: Crop residue) from agricultural fields, we shall have coordination with ground truth parties.

This Ground truth coordination shall entail:

  1. The collection of hyperspectral data from several different sources in order to build a spectral library to facilitate SMA or SI analysis of FINCH images and validate the results of said analysis:

    1. Hyperspectral Drone

    b. EnMAP Earth Observation Satellite
