Slide to be inserted before health map in Catskills AVIRIS case study: An example of spectral mixing in an assessment of hemlock wooly adelgid in the Catskills. Spectral mixing produces a coverage that estimates the species abundance on a per pixel basis. A threshold is set to determine those pixels dominated by hemlock, and health estimates are then applied to this pixels. Fig. Use hemlock abundance from hemlock abundance/health image pair from lower right corner of Pontius poster.
