Mapping of invasive plant species with Sentinel-1
and -2 data calibrated with UAV-based training data

Rationale
Invasive plant species can pose major threats to
biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and services
Sentinel-1 (SAR) and Sentinel-2 (Multispectral)
satellite data have unpreceded spatial and
temporal resolution with global coverage

Rationale

UAV photogrammetry Sentinel data
Field sampling is
expensive and
time consuming
Field sampling is
often biased by
accessibility
Linking discrete field samples
to the remote sensing scale
is challenging
Field samples often do
no match the ‘bird
perspective’
Visual interpretation

Conclusions & Outlook
Invasive species can be quite accurately mapped using
UAVs when combining different predicors
UAV-based estimates can be accurately up-scaled to the
Sentinel scale
→Promising alternative to traditional field sampling!
Sentinel-2 (Multispectral) was more important than Sentinel-
1 (SAR) for up-scaling species cover
Workflow is transferable to other sensors and endmembers
