7 study area Hawaiian Ecosystems at Risk project (HEAR) Invasive species information for Hawaii and the Pacific The mission of the Hawaiian Ecosystems at Risk project (HEAR) is to provide technology, methods, and information tools and to facilitate communication among decision-makers, resource managers, and the general public to help support effective science-based management of harmful non-native species in Hawaii and the Pacific. Hawaii Invasive Species Council > 9000 organisms have been introduced; 120 plant species are considered highly invasive The Hawaii Invasive Species Council (the Council or HISC) was established for the special purpose of providing policy level direction, coordination, and planning among state departments, federal agencies, and international and local initiatives for the control and eradication of harmful invasive species infestations throughout the State of Hawaii and for preventing the introduction of other invasive species that may be potentially harmful , VITO NV

8 study area Daniel Akaka US Senator for Hawaii Nearly $4.5 Million Stimulus Funds Will Fight Invasive Species in Hawaii Thu, May 14, 2009 WASHINGTON - Senate Appropriations Chairman Daniel K. Inouye and Senator Daniel K. Akaka announced today that the State of Hawaii will receive $4,486,000 to fight invasive plant species across the islands. The United States Department of Agriculture is distributing the funding as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Specific projects on both state and private lands will be selected by the State government. "Many of our irreplaceable native forests and flora are in danger of being lost forever because of invasive species that have come to Hawaii from other parts of the world," said Chairman Inouye and Senator Akaka. "This funding will be a big help in our battle to save our unique Hawaiian plants that exist nowhere else, while creating job opportunities for workers across the islands. We will continue our efforts to get federal funding for this serious challenge." , VITO NV

14 Some remarks? Step-by-step implementation of multi-temporal spectral unmixing chain You will do some steps; I will do others (due to time constraints) Due to copyright issues I m not allowed to provide you with all data. We will work with a limited set of images and with modified spectral information and ground truth (concept is important!) We have done all our coding in Matlab and R for Statistics. We normally do not use ENVI (you re more of a ENVI specialist than I am!) We will perform a simplified approach to demonstrate the concept and potential benefits of multi-temporal unmixing October 2010
