Abstract:
This data collection contains airborne hyperspectral data as well as accompanying in-situ data acquired in autumn 2009 in the Neusling test area near Landau a.d. Isar in Southern Germany. The dataset is composed of a) two airborne hyperspectral image strips acquired during an overflight on July 27th, 2009 with the HyMap instrument over two areas; “Neusling” and “Steinbeissen”. The airborne data consists of 125 spectral bands, ranging from VIS to SWIR (455 - 2478 nm); b) spectral reference measurements acquired with a portable ASD FieldSpec 3 JR spectroradiometer in 2150 spectral bands (350 - 2500nm) taken parallel to the overflight; c) spatially comprehensive land use/land cover maps for both flight strips generated from in-situ observations during the days next to the overflight; d) Flight-parallel in-situ point-measurements consisting of: i) destructively measured aboveground dry biomass and canopy water content of maize, sugar beet and winter wheat (58 measurements), ii) non-destructive measurements of LAI of sugar beet and maize (52 measurements), iii) TDR soil moisture measurements covering the main land cover types in the area (250 measurements), iv) 249 measurements of canopy height, v) 199 observations of plant phenology. The dataset was intended to be used in an educational context and was collected with an agricultural focus.
