Authors/Creators
Description
Example maps from the publication:
Nicholas R. Vaughn, Marcel König, Kelly L. Hondula, Dominica E. Harrison and Gregory P. Asner. 2024. Rapid Water Quality Mapping from Imaging Spectroscopy with a Superpixel Approach to Bio-Optical Inversion. Remote Sensing. (in press)
Data:
Maps of water quality and auxiliary information produced from Global Airborne Observatory (GAO) VSWIR Spectrometer data for five example sites:
| Site | Island | Date Collected | Time Collected (24hr) | Latitude | Longitude |
| 1. Pelekane Bay | Hawaiʻi | 30 October 2023 | 10:02 | 20.0243 | −155.8256 |
| 2. East Kaho’olawe | Kaho’olawe | 22 January 2024 | 09:15 | 20.6027 | −156.5638 |
| 3. Hilo Bay | Hawaiʻi | 15 January 2023 | 11:30 | 19.7353 | −155.0636 |
| 4. Mā’alaea Bay | Maui | 22 January 2024 | 10:19 | 20.7805 | −156.4842 |
| 5. South Moloka’i | Moloka’i | 7 January 2024 | 11:31 | 21.0866 | −157.2159 |
There are 41 maps for each example site:
- A single 3-band true-color map of the example site for reference (Site<X_Name>_3band.tif)
- A single full-resolution water quality map produced using a bio-optical inversion model on each pixel (Site<X_Name>_PixelbyPixel.tif)
- For each of 13 different superpixel size settings (50px, 100px, 250px, 500px, 600px, 750px, 1000px, 1250px, 1500px, 2000px, 3000px, 4000px, 5000px), a map of the superpixel ID of each pixel (Site<X_Name>_Size<####>_ClusterID.tif)
- For each of 13 different superpixel size settings, a superpixel-level map of water quality as estimated at the cluster level. (i.e., each pixel in a superpixel will have the same values, Site<X_Name>_Size<####>_Cluster_Preds.tif)
- For each of 13 different superpixel size settings, a full-resolution water quality map produced by interpolation of the superpixel level maps in 4. above (Site<X_Name>_Size<####>.tif)
All files are in GeoTiff format using 32-bit floating point values. Most are compressed with the LZW algorithm. Maps are not georeferenced. No data value for map types 2-5 is -9999.
