#### *Thierry Erudel, Sophie Fabre, Thomas Houet, Florence Mazier and Xavier Briottet*

This paper develops various criteria to inventory and evaluating the performance of discrimination techniques for peatland habitats based on in situ spectra. Two main methods are applied for vegetation discrimination: the similarity measurement techniques and the supervised classification methods with sometimes application of a preliminary spectral band reduction technique.
