#### **Integration of Absorption Feature Information from Visible to Longwave Infrared Spectral Ranges for Mineral Mapping**

#### *Veronika Kopaˇcková and Lucie Koucká*

This paper proposes a fusion method to integrate two di fferent airborne image datasets, HyMap (VIS/NIR/SWIR image data) and Airborne Hyperspectral Scanner (AHS, LWIR image data) for data analysis. It demonstrated that when the absorption feature information derived from multispectral LWIR data is integrated with the absorption feature information derived from hyperspectral VIS/NIR/SWIR data, an important improvement in terms of more complex mineral mapping is achieved.

#### **Classification of Tree Species in a Diverse African Agroforestry Landscape Using Imaging Spectroscopy and Laser Scanning**

#### *Rami Piiroinen, Janne Heiskanen, Eduardo Maeda, Arto Viinikka and Petri Pellikka*

This paper studies tree species classification of tree species in a diverse african agroforestry landscape using data collected by imaging spectroscopy and laser scanning at the tree crown level, with primary interest in the exotic tree species for tree species classification.

#### **Adaptive Window-Based Constrained Energy Minimization for Detection of Newly Grown Tree Leaves**

*Shih-Yu Chen, Chinsu Lin, Chia-Hui Tai and Shang-Ju Chuang*

This paper applies a hyperspectral subpixel target detection technique, called Constrained Energy Minimization (CEM) along with several its variations, which is to detect of newly grown leaves via a UAV multispectral imager.
