Vegetation plays a crucial role in regulating environmental conditions, including weather and climate. The amount of water and carbon dioxide in the air and the albedo of our planet are all influenced by vegetation, which in turn influences all life on Earth. Soil properties are also strongly influenced by vegetation, through biogeochemical cycles and feedback loops (see Volume 1A—Section 4). Vegetated landscapes on Earth provide habitat and energy for a rich diversity of animal species, including humans. Vegetation is also a major component of the world economy, through the global production of food, fibre, fuel, medicine, and other plantbased resources for human consumptio

DTW BASED SIGNAL ALIGNMENT FOR ENHANCING CO2 DETECTION IN MWIR HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGERY

Remote sensing and detection of gases using hyperspectral imagery is an emerging research topic. Recent developments in infrared sensor technology increase usage of these devices in various fields ranging from environmental applications to defence industry. Another research topic in remote sensing field is the detection and identification of gas emissions using these devices. This study proposes a method for improving detection accuracy of CO2 emissions in Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) hyperspectral imagery with Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) signal alignment using reference absorption signature
