Issues
• Inconsistent image acquisition dates
• Plot layout• Size• Sampling intensity• Small trees
• Co-registration errors• GPS• Imagery

Landsat Shift GPS & Image (8m, 60m)
Co-registration Errors
• What are the impacts
• How to address co-registration errors
• Better horizontal accuracy
• Larger plot area
How To Simulate
• Field perspective• Time intensive
• Relationship between spectral and plot measurements
• Limited in geographic extent
• Image perspective• Assume perfect relationship between plot and mean
spectral values
• Introduce random spatial shifts
Simulations Overview
• Random Locations
• Circle vs square
• Introduce shift
• Extract spectral values
• Regress values
• Growing overlap

Simulations• 7 images
• 5000 locations
• 2 random shifts • GPS (7m)• Image (NAIP: 6 cells, Landsat: 2 cells)
• Extract spectral values
• Regress against one another
• Record intercept, slope, and R2
• Repeated (0-50 cells by 5)

Results
GPS = 7mImage = 6m (6 cells)
GPS = 7mImage = 6m (6 cells)
GPS = 7mImage = 6m (6 cells)
GPS = 7mImage = 60m (2 cells)
GPS = 7mImage = 60m (2 cells)
GPS = 7mImage = 60m (2 cells)
Conclusion
• We can minimize effect of co-registration
• Requires sampling a bigger area
• Practical limitations in the field
• Co-registration errors introduce bias
Next Steps
• What proportion of plot extent needs to be sampled?
• What is the best layout within the plot extent?
• How to use the estimate of bias to refine predictions?
