Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Oecan (HICO)

Abstract

The long term goal is to develop and validate the use of hyperspectral imagery for environmental characterization of the coastal ocean and land. Environmental characterization of the coastal zone includes products of value to the Navy and Marine Corps for planning and operating in these areas, including bathymetry maps [Fig. 1], water optical properties including underwater visibility, maps of bottom type, and maps of on-shore terrain and vegetation showing trafficable routes. The coastal zone is very complicated, with water of various depths, various bottom types, dissolved and suspended organic and inorganic matter, and on-shore beach, land, and vegetation.
