Mariana Islands-Hyperspectral Airborne Remote Environmental Sensing Experiment 2010
Abstract
This report describes the data collected during one of a series of Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) remote sensing and calibration and validation (Cal/Val) campaigns, providing data and information for the development of models of coast types and their associated environmental factors. Models allow rapid processing of hyperspectral imagery (HSI), generating shallow water bathymetric charts and trafficability maps. Cal/Val data collected during the Mariana Islands Hyperspectral Airborne Remote Environmental Sensing 2010 (MIHARES 2010) campaign focused on spectral and geotechnical library development, bathymetry, and location of WWII remnant hazards on Pagan, Tinian, and Guam. Ground control data collected during the remote sensing experiment will be useful in building digital elevation models and maps for remote areas such as Pagan, a volcanic island in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). Surveyed calibration panels, WWII relics, and underwater panels are all useful in developing anomaly detection algorithms. The primary purpose of this memorandum report is to summarize imagery collections and all Cal/Val data and the project geodatabase, with products described in future publications.
