Mangrove forest coastal ecosystems contain significant amount of carbon stocks and contribute to approximately 15% of the total carbon sequestered in ocean sediments. The present study aims at exploring the ability of Earth Observation EO-1 Hyperion hyperspectral sensor in estimating aboveground carbon stocks in mangrove forests. Bhitarkanika mangrove forest has been used as case study, where field measurements of the biomass and carbon were acquired simultaneously with the satellite data. The spatial distribution of most dominant mangrove species was identified using the Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) classifier, which was implemented using the spectral profiles extracted from the hyperspectral data. SAM performed well, identifying the total area that each of the major species covers (overall kappa = 0.81). From the hyperspectral images, the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index) were applied to assess the carbon stocks of the various species using machine learning (Linear, Polynomial, Logarithmic, Radial Basis Function (RBF), and Sigmoidal Function) models. NDVI and EVI is generated using covariance matrix based band selection algorithm. All the five machine learning models were tested between the carbon measured in the field sampling and the carbon estimated by the vegetation indices NDVI and EVI was satisfactory (Pearson correlation coefficient, R, of 86.98% for EVI and of 84.1% for NDVI), with the RBF model showing the best results in comparison to other models. As such, the aboveground carbon stocks for species-wise mangrove for the study area was estimated. Our study findings confirm that hyperspectral images such as those from Hyperion can be used to perform species-wise mangrove analysis and assess the carbon stocks with satisfactory accuracy.

Estimation of aboveground carbon stock on stands vegetation, especially in green open space, has become an urgent issue in the effort to calculate, monitor, manage, and evaluate carbon stocks, especially in a massive urban area such as Samarinda City, Kalimantan Timur Province, Indonesia. The use of Sentinel-1 imagery was maximised to accommodate the weaknesses in its optical imagery, and combined with its ability to produce cloud-free imagery and minimal atmospheric influence. The study aims to test the accuracy of the estimated model of above-ground carbon stocks, to ascertain the total carbon stock, and to map the spatial distribution of carbon stocks on stands vegetation in Samarinda City. The methods used included empirical modelling of carbon stocks and statistical analysis comparing backscatter values and actual carbon stocks in the field using VV and VH polarisation. Model accuracy tests were performed using the standard error of estimate in independent accuracy test samples. The results show that Samarinda Utara subdistrict had the highest carbon stock of 3,765,255.9 tons in the VH exponential model. Total carbon stocks in the exponential VH models were 6,489,478.1 tons, with the highest maximum accuracy of 87.6 %, and an estimated error of 0.57 tons/pixel.

Rapid advancement in remote sensing open new avenues to explore the hyperspectral Hyperion imagery pre-processing techniques, analysis and application for land use mapping. The hyperspectral data consists of 242 bands out of which 196 calibrated/useful bands are available for hyperspectral applications. Atmospheric correction applied to the hyperspectral calibrated bands make the data more useful for its further processing/ application. Principal component (PC) analysis applied to the hyperspectral calibrated bands reduced the dimensionality of the data and it is found that 99% of the data is held in first 10 PCs. Feature extraction is one of the important application by using vegetation delineation and normalized difference vegetation index. The machine learning classifiers uses the technique to identify the pixels having significant difference in the spectral signature which is very useful for classification of an image. Supervised machine learning classifier technique has been used for classification of hyperspectral image which resulted in overall efficiency of 86.6703 and Kappa co-efficient of 0.7998.

Due to the increased frequency and intensity of forest damage caused by diseases and pests, effective methods are needed to accurately monitor the damage degree. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based hyperspectral imaging is an effective technique for forest health surveying and monitoring. In this study, a framework is proposed for identifying the severity of damage caused by Tomicus spp. (the pine shoot beetle, PSB) to Yunnan pine (Pinus yunnanensis Franch) using UAV-based hyperspectral images. Four sample plots were set up in Shilin, Yunnan Province, China. A total of 80 trees were investigated, and their hyperspectral data were recorded. The spectral data were subjected to a one-way ANOVA. Two sensitive bands and one sensitive parameter were selected using Pearson correlation analysis and stepwise discriminant analysis to establish a diagnostic model of the damage degree. A discriminant rule was established to identify the degree of damage based on the median value between different degrees of damage. The diagnostic model with R690 and R798 as variables had the highest accuracy (R2 = 0.854, RMSE = 0.427), and the test accuracy of the discriminant rule was 87.50%. The results are important for forest damage caused by the PSB.

The development of the nominal sequence of steps for analyzing the HSI proposed by Landgrebe, which is necessary in the context of the appearance of reference signature libraries for environmental monitoring, is discussed. The approach is based on considering the HSI pixel as a signature that stores all spectral features of an object and its states, and the HSI as a whole - as a two-dimensional signature field. As a first step of the analysis, a procedure is proposed for detecting a linear dependence of signatures by the magnitude of the Pearson correlation coefficient. The main apparatus of analysis, as in Landgrebe sequence, is the method of principal component analysis, but it is no longer used to build classes and is applied to investigate the presence in the class of subclasses essential for the applied area. The experimental material includes such objects as water, swamps, soil, vegetation, concrete, pollution. Selection of object samples on the image is made by the user. From the studied images of HSI objects, a base of reference signatures for classes (subclasses) of objects is formed, which in turn can be used to automate HSI markup with the aim of applying machine learning methods to recognize HSI objects and their states.

Forests reduce and store CO2 through a process of "sequestration" that is the storage of carbon from the atmosphere and its storage in several copartments such as plants, litter, and soil organic matter. Mangrove forest is a unique and unique type of forest because it is able to adapt to environments with high salinity, soil conditions without oxygen and once in a while. ne example of mangrove forests in Indonesia is mangrove forest in the Kumbe river estuary, Merauke Regency, Papua Province. The Kumbe river estuary is one of the eastern Indonesian waters bordering the Indian Ocean. At the Kumbe river estuary there has been no research on carbon stocks in the mangrove community. So it is necessary to do research on carbon stocks in the region. In this study the measurement of carbon stocks used was done by measuring carbon above ground, and ground. Above ground carbon stock components include trees, understorey, and litter. The mechanism for measuring above ground carbon stock is done by estimating biomass, which is then converted to carbon concentration. The results of this study indicate that the carbon stocks in trees, Understorey and litter in sequence are 85.55 Mg / Ha, 392.93 Mg / Ha and 70.75 Mg / Ha; 0.78 Mg / Ha, 1.26 Mg / Ha and 1.24 Mg / Ha and 2.04 Mg / Ha, 1.28 Mg / Ha and 1.2 Mg / Ha. As for the proportion of carbon stock values ​​found in mangrove forests that trees contribute greatly to total carbon stock. Keyword : Mangrove, carbon stocks, Merauke, Kumbe

Abstract The mangrove ecosystem in Forest Managemen Unit - VII (FMU) Sumatera Utara is a natural forest. FMU has not managed and utilizes mangrove forests optimally. It can open up opportunities for illegal loggers and trigger damage to these natural ecosystems. This condition requires prevention and mitigation so that severe damage to mangrove forests does not occur. This study aims to determine the relationship between vegetation index and mangrove density in the field and map the mangrove density distribution based on the image vegetation index value. The density distribution mapping was carried out by compiling a vegetation density estimator model NDVI, GNDVI, and TVI as independent variables. Correlation test and regression analysis between the vegetation index value (NDVI, GNDVI, and TVI) to the number of trees per unit area. The distribution model for the density of mangrove stands was chosen based on the coefficient of determination (R2). The study resulted from NDVI selected as the vegetation index used to map the distribution of mangrove density with a Pearson correlation coefficient (R) of 0.738. The selected model is Y = 2.48e2.8667x, which is an exponential equation with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 61.3%. Based on this model, the distribution of mangrove density has the lowest density reaching 400, and the highest density is 2,200 trees per hectare

Hyperspectral unmixing is an important technique for analyzing remote sensing images which aims to obtain a collection of endmembers and their corresponding abundances. In recent years, non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) has received extensive attention due to its good adaptability for mixed data with different degrees. The majority of existing NMF-based unmixing methods are developed by incorporating additional constraints into the standard NMF based on the spectral and spatial information of hyperspectral images. However, they neglect to exploit the nature of imbalanced pixels included in the data, which may cause the pixels mixed with imbalanced endmembers to be ignored, and thus the imbalanced endmembers generally cannot be accurately estimated due to the statistical property of NMF. To exploit the information of imbalanced samples in hyperspectral data during the unmixing procedure, in this paper, a cluster-wise weighted NMF (CW-NMF) method for the unmixing of hyperspectral images with imbalanced data is proposed. Specifically, based on the result of clustering conducted on the hyperspectral image, we construct a weight matrix and introduce it into the model of standard NMF. The proposed weight matrix can provide an appropriate weight value to the reconstruction error between each original pixel and the reconstructed pixel in the unmixing procedure. In this way, the adverse effect of imbalanced samples on the statistical accuracy of NMF is expected to be reduced by assigning larger weight values to the pixels concerning imbalanced endmembers and giving smaller weight values to the pixels mixed by majority endmembers. Besides, we extend the proposed CW-NMF by introducing the sparsity constraints of abundance and graph-based regularization, respectively. The experimental results on both synthetic and real hyperspectral data have been reported, and the effectiveness of our proposed methods has been demonstrated by comparing them with several state-of-the-art methods.
