High resolution remote sensing observations at the Virginia coastalreserve long-term ecological research site

In this investigation, we use data from HyMap 1 , an airborne hyperspectral sensor, and IKONOS, a space borne high spatial resolution multispectral sensor, to investigate the landscape structure and variability of a coastal tidal marsh-barrier island complex. Specifically, we explore the relationship between hyperspectral signature and patch metrics, such as core area index, shape, and square pixel among other
