The aim of the OPTIMISE network is to better understand reflectance and fluorescence measurements for ground validation of Earth system models and global satellite observation ((ESA FLEX)s, using innovative spectrometers and UAV platforms, and to develop automated wireless communication systems with on-line spectral information storage, quality assurance and data product sharing portals.”
Objectives
support and enlarge the global spectral sampling network and enhance our understanding of reflectance and fluorescence
harmonize instruments and measurement protocols adopted across different ecosystems
promote the use of a common 'smart' on-line spectral information system to share and standardized proximal sensing data and products
develop a consolidated ecosystem specific metadata and spectral data QA framework
bridge the RS scaling gap by integrating UAV-based proximal sensing and modelling ecosystem functioning at differing spatial and temporal scales
