摘要
Compared to natural waters, mine waters represent an extreme water type that is frequently heavily polluted. Although they have been traditionally monitored by in situ measurements of point samples taken at regular intervals, the emergence of a new generation of multispectral and hyperspectral (HS) sensors means that image spectroscopy has the potential to become a modern method for monitoring polluted surface waters. This paper describes an approach employing linear Spectral Unmixing (LSU) for analysis of hyperspectral image data to map the relative abundances of mine water components (dissolved Fe-Fediss, dissolved organic carbon-DOC, undissolved particles). The ground truth data (8 monitored ponds) were used to validate the results of spectral mapping. The same approach applied to HS data was tested using the image data resampled to WorldView2 (WV2) spectral resolution. A key aspect of the image data processing was to define the proper pure image end members for the fundamental water types. The highest correlations detected between the studied water parameters and the fractional images using the HyMap and the resampled WV2 data, respectively, were: dissolved Fe (R-2 = 0.74 and R-vw2(2) = 0.6), undissolved particles (R-2 = 0.57 and R-vw2(2) = 0.49) and DOC (R-2 = 0.42 and R-vw2(2) < 0.40). These fractional images were further classified to create semi-quantitative maps. In conclusion, the classification still benefited from the higher spectral resolution of the HyMap data; however the WV2 reflectance data can be suitable for mapping specific inherent optical properties (SIOPs), which significantly differ from one another from an optical point of view (e.g., mineral suspension, dissolved Fe and phytoplankton), but it seems difficult to differentiate among diverse suspension particles, especially when the waters have more complex properties (e.g., mineral particles, DOC together with tripton or other particles, etc.).
