Description
This dataset provides estimates of fractional vegetation cover across the Atchafalaya and Terrebonne basins. Atmospheric correction was applied to a L2B BRDF-adjusted surface reflectance product from AVIRIS-NG imagery to produce L2 Hemispherical-Directional surface reflectance. A spectral library was compiled using in situ spectra in the USGS Spectral Library (v7) to represent green vegetation, non-photosynthetic vegetation, and soil. Linear spectral unmixing was then applied to mosaics of AVIRIS-NG reflectance using these spectra to estimate the fractional composition (scaled 0-1) of each endmember type for all terrestrial pixels. In addition to the AVIRIS-NG imagery and in situ field spectra, this analysis incorporated field images collected using a GoPro digital camera coincident with the AVIRIS-NG flight lines.
