Exploring the Limits of Species Identification via a Convolutional Neural Network in a Complex Forest Scene through Simulated Imaging Spectroscopy
Published 2024-01-01“…Our simulation approach allowed us to better understand the interplay between instrument parameters and landscape characteristics, and facilitated comprehensive traceability of error budgets. To enhance our understanding of the impact of sensor design on classification performance, we simulated image samples at different spatial, spectral, and scale resolutions (by modifying the pixel pitch and the total number of pixels in the sensor array, i.e., the focal plane dimension) of the imaging sensor and assessed the performance of a deep learning-based convolutional neural network (CNN) and a traditional machine learning classifier, support vector machines (SVMs), to classify vegetation species. …”
