Detailed Description
USGS scientist Victoria Scholl collecting a spectral measurement in a wetland at Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The PVC pipe quadrat was placed around materials of interest (in this image, pink Salicornia vegetation) and the small panel was used as a white reference prior to spectrometer measurements.
In collaboration with the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center Aerial Imaging and Mapping (AIM) team, the NUSO performed a spectroradiometer testing project at Cape Cod, Massachusetts in October of 2021. The primary goal of this effort was to improve ground truthing capabilities to calibrate and validate UAS-collected multispectral and hyperspectral data for coastal natural hazard and invasive species mapping applications.
