Assessment of informative capability of spaced-based hyperspectral system in forest monitoring tasks

摘要

The article presents a model for assessing the information capabilities of multi-, hyperspectral satellite systems for Earthremote sensing in solving forest monitoring problems. The information capabilities of satellite system for Earth remotesensing means the ability to complete assigned tasks in time and quality. Assessment of information capabilities is dividedinto two parts. The first part is an assessment of the operational capabilities of the satellite system, that is, an expected timeto complete the task. The second part is an assessment of solving the problems quality. Assessing of the informationcapabilities of satellite systems for Earth remote sensing allows to determine the appropriateness of including the task ofmonitoring territories (for example, forest monitoring) in the flight task for the satellite system, to develop measures toimprove information capability in solving the tasks. The article also provides informational capability assessment obtainedby the proposed method for the hyperspectral satellite system by NPO «Lepton» and Moscow Institute of Physics andTechnology in solving the problem of classifying the species composition of deciduous and coniferous forest on a giventerritory. Such assessment is valid for similar satellite systems for Earth remote sensing when solving similar problems.
