OutlineOutline
• Project Objectives
• Current Research Status
• Proposed Approaches– Images with higher resolution– Classification methods
• Preliminary Results
• Ongoing Efforts
Project ObjectivesProject Objectives
• To use NASA Spaceborne Imagery (i.e., Landsat, ASTER, Hyperion) in the study of water quality and sediment dynamics in Mobile Bay, AL.
• To compare with the NASA research products in Mobile Bay using MODIS imagery and assess the improvements.
This MODIS satellite image shows sediment plumes moving into the Gulf of Mexico from the main branch of the Mississippi River and through the bayous in its Delta region

Current Research StatusCurrent Research Status
• MODIS (Aqua/Terra) – Pros: wide spatial coverage, high temporal
resolution (covers the entire globe almost everyday)
– Con: low spatial resolution (250m-1000m)
• Hard classification– K-means clustering– ISODATA
Proposed ApproachesProposed Approaches
• Satellite Images with Higher Resolutions– LANDSAT
• 30 m spatial resolution (can be enhanced to 15m); 4 VNIR bands– ASTER
• 15m spatial resolution; 3 VNIR bands– Hyperion
• 30m spatial resolution; 220 bands
• Fine Classification– Statistical Classifiers
• Correlation Study with Ground Truth– In situ sampling (Nov. 2007 – Sep. 2008)– Historic data
Preliminary ResultsPreliminary Results
• Satellite Images with Higher Resolutions– LANDSAT
• Classification– ISODATA
• Correlation Study with Ground Truth– Historic data (e.g., Water Resources Database)

Proposed Approaches (Cont’d)Proposed Approaches (Cont’d)
• Classification Approaches
r = M a– Unsupervised Linear Mixture Analysis
• Endmember signature extraction
• Fully constrained linear unmixing
– Blind Source Separation• Independent Component Analysis
Original Image
Linear unmixing result (soft Classification)
The (soft) endmember classification map that can be used for detailed water quality mapping
ICA result (soft classification)
The independent component (soft classification map) that can be used for detailed water quality mapping
Ongoing EffortsOngoing Efforts
• More detailed correlation analysis– Images and ground truth data collected at the same
time.– Images collected during Nov. 2007 and Sep. 2008.
