[jb362]

Specific Scientific Objectives

1. Development and validation of hyperspectral retrieval algorithms for biophysical parameter estimation in preparation for launch of PRISMA hyperspectral mission. These include;

Leaf area indexn (LAI m2/m2)
Fraction of vegetation cover (Fc, %)
Leaf chlorophyll concentration and canopy chlorophyll content.

2. Test and validation of remote sensing techniques for qualifying water exchanges in the main tree crop species of the Med.

PRIORITY:
a4l

Note we need to send copies of deliveries for this project to both the PI (Dr. Vuolo) and Jadu Dash at Southampton. Addresses on the contact details page.

Sensors: ¶

• Eagle (Requested by PI)
• Hawk (Requested by PI)
• Leica LIDAR (Not requested)

There are loads of base stations all in more or less the same place for this project so the IPAS and Applanix nav processing has not yet been done for this project.

[ella]

Have processed IPAS using the PPP processing method as this was the only was to successfully create a SOL file.
Still no success with the applanix processing.

[ella]

Starting camera processing.

[ella]

There are no RCD data for this flight, but the application did not have camera ticked.
Only need to process eagle and hawk.

PI called just now to check estimate for processing data from this flight. Estimate given as Jan/Feb 2011 (it's currently pretty much last on the list because it's the only a4l we've got left and is behind all the Hungary data).

Starting applanix processing

This project is over two sites which are several km apart. This has made the navigation processing difficult, and so I have separated the two sites into separate projects, 145a and 145b.

Also of notes is that I found RCD images for this project, although according to the log sheet, the RCD camera failed after ~165 images, and so there is only full photo coverage of the first site (145a).

Also note that I've put the tabi data in 145a, and symlinked 145b tabi folder to 145a.
