This document discusses using hyperspectral remote sensing to identify flower species and estimate their coverage in a meadow grassland in Inner Mongolia, China. Researchers collected hyperspectral data on 7 flower species from July 2010 and used spectral derivatives, reordering, and vegetation indices to distinguish the species. A linear spectral mixture analysis was then used to estimate species coverage, achieving a mean error of 4%. Results showed identification accuracy over 90% for species with over 10% coverage. While promising, the study recognizes limitations and need for further validation and multi-temporal data.
