Tuesday July 30 brought such a nice weather ☀️ that we could acquire cloudless aerial hyperspectral imagery for our research area in the Krknoše Mts. 🏞. Our colleagues from CzechGlobe used their FLIS inrastructure (Cessna 208B Grand Caravan + CASI, SASI, TASI sensors) ✈️.and came from Brno to the Krkonoše Mts. During 1.5 hour flight they acquired data covering the most important research areas.
At the same time an extensive ground field campaign took place. We collected foliage samples from 60 trees, took spectral measurements for calibration and for projects focusing on forest health evaluation🌲🌲🌲and the detection of anghropogenic matherials (azbestos, plastics, asphalt, concrete etc.). We also acquired hyperspectral and multispectral image data from UAV 🛰 for 5 plots. During the next three days we elaborated the samples in the laboratory (spectral measurements, preparation for pigments extraction etc.) 🧪🔎.
We are really happy for this beautiful day 🍀💕. Many thanks to all team meambers 👫🏻 and other colleagues that they supported the campaign.
And thank you Krakonoš !!!
