Laboratory/Field Spectroscopy and Remote Sensing Image Data for Vegetation Studies
Červená, Lucie ; Kupková, Lucie (advisor) ; Pavelka, Karel (referee) ; Müllerová, Jana (referee)
Dominant vegetation species of two structurally and functionally different montane ecosystems were studied by means of laboratory and field spectroscopy and remote sensing image data: (1) a homogeneous human-influenced evergreen coniferous forest represented by a Norway spruce forest in the Krušné hory Mountains and (2) a heterogeneous natural ecosystem of a relict arctic-alpine tundra in the Krkonoše Mountains with predominance of grasses. The first part dealing with the Norway spruce forest is especially focused on the methods of laboratory spectroscopy. The assessment of Norway spruce stands on a regional and a global scales requires detailed knowledge of their spectral properties at the level of needles and shoots in the beginning, but ground research is very time-demanding. Open spectral libraries could help to get more ground-truth data for subsequent analysis of tree species in forests ecosystems. However, the problem may arise with the comparability of spectra taken by different devices. The present thesis focuses on a comparability of spectra measured by a field spectroradiometer coupled with plant contact probe and/or two integrating spheres (Paper 3) and proves the significant differences in spruce needle spectra measured by the contact probe and integrating sphere, spectra of...

Hyperspectral data for classification of alpine treeless vegetation in the Krkonoše Mts.
Andrštová, Martina ; Kupková, Lucie (advisor) ; Potůčková, Markéta (referee)
Hyperspectral data for classification of vegetation of alpine treeless in the Krkonoše Mts. ABSTRACT The Master Thesis is a part of the HyMountEcos project, which deals with a complex evaluation of mountain's ecosystems in the Giant Mountains National Park using the hyperspectral data. The area of interest is alpine treeless in the Giant Mountains National Park. The main goal of this thesis was to create detailed methodology for classification of vegetation cover using hyperspectral data from AISA DUAL and APEX sensors, to find a classification method, which would improve the accuracy of the results compared to those found in the literature, and to compare the accuracy reached with these two types of the data. Many different classification algorithms (Spectral Angle Mapper, Linear Spectral Unmixing, Support Vector Machine, MESMA a Neural Net) were applied and the classification results were statistically evaluated and compared in the next part of the work. The classification method Neural Net was found as the most accurate one, as it gives the most accurate results for APEX data (the overall accuracy 96 %, Kappa coefficient 0,95) as well as for AISA DUAL data (the overall accuracy 90 %, Kappa coefficient 0,88). The resulting accuracy of the classification (the overall one and also for some classes) reached...

Land-Cover classification of mountain ecosystem using image data with different spatial and spectral resolution
Minárčik, Miroslav ; Kupková, Lucie (advisor) ; Kříž, Jan (referee)
Land-Cover classification of mountain ecosystem using image data with different spatial and spectral resolution Abstract The bachelor thesis is focused on land cover classification of the western part of the Krkonoše Mts. using multispectral images from WorldView-2 satellite with spatial resolution 2 m and from Landsat 8 satellite with a spatial resolution 30 m. The goal was to compare results of supervised classifications Maximum Likelihod and Support Vector Machine and unsupervised classification ISODATA for both images. The best result was achieved for WorldView-2 image using Maximum Likelihood classification (overall accuracy 73,1 %). The best result for Landsat image was achieved using Support Vector Machine classification (overall accuracy 70,78 %). Keywords: Krkonoše Mts., WorldView-2, Landsat 8, classification, multispectral image
