Airborne hyperspectral image data from the upper Sacramento River in northern California, September 14, 2017

Airborne hyperspectral image data from the upper Sacramento River in northern California were acquired on September 14, 2017 to support research on remote sensing of rivers, particularly retrieval of water depth, and to facilitate efforts to characterize salmon habitat conditions and geomorphic change along the upper Sacramento River. These data were collected by the Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI) 1500H, manufactured by ITRES Research Limited. The flight was conducted by Quantum Spatial, Inc. (QSI); QSI also performed the initial radiometric and geometric data processing. The data were acquired from fixed wing aircraft and have a spatial resolution (pixel sizes) of 0.5 m. The data set consists of 48 spectral bands spanning [...]
