Analysis of Hyperspectral Coastal Ocean Color Data

Abstract

The goal of this project is to develop spectral analysis techniques for ocean color analysis that are explicitly designed for use with hyperspectral data. The CoBOP program offers a rare opportunity to test any spectral analysis techniques with a wealth of remote sensing and in situ spectral data. Our objective is to develop a set of spectral analysis methods that are appropriate for remote sensing and to adapt them to remote sensing of ocean color. Our eventual objective is to expand the capability to accurately classify water types and bottom types and to extract accurate bathymetry using hyperspectral image data. The procedures will be tested and evaluated using data collected during the CoBOP field programs. We have defined a three-pronged approach: (1) adapt laboratory spectroscopy techniques to remote sensing, (2) expand multispectral approaches where applicable, and (3) develop novel approaches where necessary.
