Leafy spurge can be detected during flowering with either aerial photography or hyperspectral remote sensing because of the distinctive yellow-green color of the flower bracts. The spectral characteristics of flower bracts and leaves were compared with pigment concentrations to determine the physiological basis of the remote sensing signature. Compared with leaves of leafy spurge, flower bracts had lower reflectance at blue wavelengths (400 to 500 nm), greater reflectance at green, yellow, and orange wavelengths (525 to 650 nm), and approximately equal reflectances at 680 nm (red) and at near-infrared wavelengths (725 to 850 nm). Pigments from leaves and flower bracts were extracted in dimethyl sulfoxide, and the pigment concentrations were determined spectrophotometrically. Carotenoid pigments were identified using high-performance liquid chromatography. Flower bracts had 84% less chlorophylla, 82% less chlorophyllb, and 44% less total carotenoids than leaves, thus absorptance by the flower bracts should be less and the reflectance should be greater at blue and red wavelengths. The carotenoid to chlorophyll ratio of the flower bracts was approximately 1:1, explaining the hue of the flower bracts but not the value of reflectance. The primary carotenoids were lutein, β-carotene, and β-cryptoxanthin in a 3.7:1.5:1 ratio for flower bracts and in a 4.8:1.3:1 ratio for leaves, respectively. There was 10.2 μg g−1fresh weight of colorless phytofluene present in the flower bracts and none in the leaves. The fluorescence spectrum indicated high blue, red, and far-red emission for leaves compared with flower bracts. Fluorescent emissions from leaves may contribute to the higher apparent leaf reflectance in the blue and red wavelength regions. The spectral characteristics of leafy spurge are important for constructing a well-documented spectral library that could be used with hyperspectral remote sensing.

Geochemical Anomalies

The gold (Au) geochemical anomaly is an important indicator of gold mineralization. While the traditional field geochemical exploration method is time-consuming and expensive, the hyperspectral remote sensing technique serves as a robust technique for the delineation and mapping of hydrothermally altered and weathered mineral deposits. Nonetheless, mineralization element anomaly detection was still seldomly used in previous hyperspectral remote sensing applications in mineralization. This study explored the coupling relationship between Gaofen-5 (GF-5) hyperspectral data and Au geochemical anomalies through several models. The Au geochemical anomalies in the Chahuazhai mining area, Qiubei County, Yunnan Province, SW China, was studied in detail. First, several noise reduction methods including radiometric calibration, Fast Line-of-sight Atmospheric Analysis of Spectral Hypercubes (FLAASH), Savitzky–Golay filter, and endmember choosing methods including Minimum Noise Fraction (MNF) transformation, matched filtering, and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) transformation were applied to the Gaofen-5 (GF-5) hyperspectral data processing. The Spectrum-Area (S-A) method was introduced to build an FFT filter to highlight the spectral abnormal characteristics associated with Au geochemical anomaly information. Specifically, the Matched Filtering (MF) technique was applied to the dataset to find the Au geochemical anomaly abundances of endmembers with innovative large-sample learning. Then, Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression, a Back Propagation (BP) network, and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) were used to reveal the coupling relationship between the spectra of the processed hyperspectral data and the Au geochemical anomalies. The results show that the GWR analysis has a much higher coefficient of determination, which implies that the Au geochemical anomalies and the spectral information are highly related to spatial locations. GWR works especially well for showing the regional Au geochemical anomaly trend and simulating the Au concentrated areas. The GWR model with application of the S-A method is applicable to the detection of Au geochemical anomalies, which could provide a potential method for Au deposit exploration using GF-5 hyperspectral data.

<p>A deeper understanding of the agricultural sector is needed to provide the informed and transparent framework required to meet increasing resource demands and pressures, without compromising sustainability. In this regard, an integrated management of the ecosystems is critical to address the priorities laid out by global policies and, achieve land degradation neutrality and resource efficient regions. Soils are an essential component of the ecosystem, they function as an important carbon storage, and provide the basis of agricultural activity. For the sustainable management of soil resources, and to prevent land degradation the regular assessments of spatially referenced soil conditions is essential. Critical soil properties, such as texture and organic and inorganic carbon content, provides farmers with the information to detect soil vulnerable to soil erosion and land degradation in its early stages in order to locally intervene and to assess soil fertility. Hyperspectral remote sensing been proven to be an effective method for the quantitative prediction of topsoil properties. However, remote sensing observations of the traditionally used visible-near infrared (VNIR) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) wavelength regions (0.4-2.5 µm) can be limited for the estimation of coarse texture soils due to the lack of distinct spectral characteristics of these properties in the VNIR-SWIR (e.g., sand content, quartz and feldspar mineralogy). Spectral information from the longwave infrared region (LWIR, 8-12 μm) has the potential to improve the determination of these properties, due to the presence of fundamental vibration modes of silicate and carbonate minerals, as well carbon-hydrogen bonds in this spectral range.</p><p>The main objective of this study is to evaluate the increased analytical potential of combined VNIR-SWIR and LWIR hyperspectral remote sensing for the estimation of soil properties with the focus on soil organic matter, texture and mineralogical composition. In the frame of EnMAP GFZ/FU airborne campaign in Northern Greece in September 2019, an airborne survey with the HySpex VNIR-SWIR and Hyper-Cam LWIR cameras mounted on a Cessna airplane. A simultaneous ground sampling campaign took place at the agricultural landscape of the Amyntaio region including fields spectroscopy for calibration and validation porpoise, as well as soil sampling of bare soil fields. Fields in the study area have highly variable topsoil composition ranging from silicate to carbonate rich mineralogy, loamy to clay texture and to organic carbon rich fields around a lignite mine in the south-east of the area. Different statistical and machine learning methods such as Partial Least Squares (PLS) and Random Forest (RF) regression are applied to derive soil properties and the variable importance of the spectral dataset is discussed. A further goal of this study is the simulation and validation of the soil products with recent relevant satellite sensors (e.g., EnMAP, PRISMA, ECOSTRESS), as well as upcoming next generation of hyperspectral optical and thermal multispectral satellite missions (ESA CHIME and LSTM, NASA/JPL SBG) to evaluate their potential for quantitative soil properties mapping.</p>

Chlorophyll fluorescence parameters can provide useful indications of photosynthetic performance in vivo. Coupling appropriate fluorescence measurements with other noninvasive techniques, such as absorption spectroscopy or gas exchange, can provide insights into the limitations to photosynthesis under given conditions. Chlorophyll content is one of the dominant factors influencing the conditions of a vegetation growing season, and can be tested using both fluorescence and remote sensing methods. Hyperspectral remote sensing and recording the narrow range of the spectrum can be used to accurately analyze the parameters and properties of plants. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of lead ions (Pb, 5 mM Pb(NO3)2) on the growth of pea plants using spectral properties. Hyperspectral remote sensing and chlorophyll fluorescence measurements were used to assess the physiological state of plants seedlings treated by lead ions during the experiment. The plants were growing in hydroponic cultures supplemented with Pb ions under various conditions (control, complete Knop + phosphorus (+P); complete Knop + phosphorus (+P) + Pb; Knop (-P) + Pb, distilled water + Pb) affecting lead uptake via the root system. Spectrometric measurements allowed us to calculate the remote sensing indices of vegetation, which were compared with chlorophyll and carotenoids content and fluorescence parameters. The lead contents in the leaves, roots, and stems were also analyzed. Spectral characteristics and vegetation properties were analyzed using statistical tests. We conclude that: (1) pea seedlings grown in complete Knop (with P) and in the presence of Pb ions were spectrally similar to the control plants because lead was not transported to the shoots of plants; (2) lead most influenced plants that were grown in water, according to the highest lead content in the leaves; and (3) the effects of lead on plant growth were confirmed by remote sensing indices, whereas fluorescence parameters identified physiological changes induced by Pb ions in the plants.

Marine oil spills seriously impact the marine environment and transportation. When oil spill accidents occur, oil spill distribution information, in particular, the relative thickness of the oil film, is vital for emergency decision-making and cleaning. Hyperspectral remote sensing technology is an effective means to extract oil spill information. In this study, the concept of deep learning is introduced to the classification of oil film thickness based on hyperspectral remote sensing technology. According to the spatial and spectral characteristics, the stacked autoencoder network model based on the support vector machine is improved, enhancing the algorithm’s classification accuracy in validating data sets. A method for classifying oil film thickness using the convolutional neural network is designed and implemented to solve the problem of space homogeneity and heterogeneity. Through numerous experiments and analyses, the potential of the two proposed deep learning methods for accurately classifying hyperspectral oil spill data is verified.
