Data verification

EO and non-EO data will be verified using multiband and hyperspectral imaging. AIS has already started with microplot field experiments, where all microplots are regularly scanned using airborne and tractor borne hyperspectral sensors. These spectral signatures will be for verification purposes calibrated to top-of-atmosphere reflectance, adjusted to EO spectral bands, and up-scaled to satellite spatial resolutions. Thus, spatially and temporarily precise data will enable verification of EO data. For ground truth and fast measurements, a field spectrometer will be used. L&F will acquire imagery, using drones equipped with multiband cameras, to provide verification data for the algorithms. Access to drone and camera infrastructure will be provided free of charge to the project by the operator on the Danish field trials (Danish Technological Institute) or through using its own equipment (when available; still in purchase process).
