The EXCELSIOR team members Prof Hadjimitsis, Dr Themistocleous and Mr Christofi joined the IEEE-SA (Standard Protocol and Scheme for Measuring Soil Spectroscopy) kick-off meeting. This Standard defines protocols and schemes for sensors and measurement methods when merging, comparing and utilizing Soil Spectral Libraries (SSLs) from many sources, including LUCAS SSL, GEO-CRADLE SSL, BRAZILAN SSL and GLOBAL SSL, as well as monitoring their measurement scheme before performing data manipulation or quantitative analyses. Using the standard SSLs is an important stage, while utilizing Hyperspectral (HSI) data for monitoring and mapping soils.
