DIRS Previous Experiment /Dissemination Efforts

• MegaCollect 2004– Vis-NIR-SWIR HSI (2)– LWIR HSI– high resolution visible– broad-band thermal– extensive ground truth exercise

• Data distribution was an issue– HSI sensors not ours, not givenpermission to use / publish data

2

DIRS Previous Experiment /Dissemination Efforts

• Blind Target Detection Experiment– Cooke City, MT– HyMAP HSI– high resolution RGB– ground targets placed in scene

and moved

• Web page dissemination / target detection competition

• Several publications from data

3

DIRS Previous Experiment /Dissemination Efforts

• SHARE 2010– SpecTIR HSI– RIT WASP– LIDAR

• Projects:– blind target detection– change detection– LIDAR sub-canopy

objects– shadow effects

4

Share 2012 Goals

• Organize a large-scale, multi-modal collect over Rochester, NY

• Make the data freely available to the world via the Web

• Conduct research on the collected data via internal funds and funded projects

• Provide you with the experience of designing and conducting a large remote sensing experiment

External Partners

• Goodrich– will probably be flying one of their sensors– will (maybe) provide ground team support & ASD

• MITRE (TBD)– interest in target detection experiments– may provide ground team

• NRL (TBD)– may fly their sensor if support provided

• DigitalGlobe– will image with their sensors and provide the data

Modalities of Interest

• High/Med. Resolution Multispectral: – RIT WASP– DigitalGlobe WV2– GeoEye (?)– RapidEye (?)– Optech GSI (?)

• V-NIR-SWIR HSI (0.4μm – 2.5μm): – SpecTIR– NRL (?)

• LWIR HSI (8.5μm – 12μm): – SpecTIR SEBASS (?)

• LIDAR: – Kucera airborne– RIT ground based

• Radar: – NRL SAR (?)

• MSI FMV– Goodrich (?)

Ground Truth Collection

• Data– ground weather– ground LIDAR

• Targets– tarps / panels with radiance– 3D Targets with precise

measurements and location

• Water– sampling– in-water targets

• Temperatures

• Atmospherics

• Forest canopy information?

• Potential geographic sites: salt mines, campus, Megascene

Proposed Experiments

• Multimodal Target/Change Detection (Blind) (Kerekes)

• Landcover Classification (Kerekes)

• Unmixing (Quantitative) (Kerekes)

• Complex LIDAR Surface (Kerekes)

• Geometric Control Range (need lead, Don Light/Don M.)

• HSI with LIDAR Candice/Hemlock Forest (Jan)

• Sub-pixel Targets on Spectral Graph Creation/Analysis (Messinger)

• Sub-pixel Abundance Estimation from Spectral Unmixing (Messinger)

• 3D reconstruction (need PI)

• Landsat/LDCM OLI model/check out, TIRS water thermal (Schott/Gerace)

• MITRE Confusing Targets (Ariel)

• Shadow/Illumination (Emmett)

• SAR TBD (Gartley)
