Approach and Results

MoorgrünFE Approach

Hyperspectral imagery will be used at the plot level using proximal measurements, UAV data, and  satellite hyperspectral imagery (EnMap). In addition to the hyperspectral data, time series from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 will also be used.

Data collected during the planned extensive field work will be used in combination with the available vegetation and  soil information. 

We will test the efficiency of different algorithms such as Random Forest as well as Deep Neural Networks for regression as well as process based models for the scenario based simulations.
