CISESS Seed Grant: Machine Learning-based Hyperspectral Sensor Data Retrieval at the CISESS Remote Sensing Laboratory

The CISESS Seed Project takes hyperspectral data from NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) Ocean Color Instrument (OCI). This data is processed with both supervised-learning and self-teaching machine learning to classify hyperspectral data to ocean composition and phytoplankton types. This approach will be validated using hyperspectral radiometer data from field and lab experiments using the CISESS Remote Sensing Lab (RSL) instruments.
