Hyperspectral mode

In 5-Scale for Windows, the following dialog box needs to be filled:

Output Example

Check the Log Plot to get hyperspectral data with logarithmic y-axis. Mixed canopy, Lichen and bare soil backgrounds are not yet available.

6.2.1 Input Spectra

5-Scale has black spruce needles and moss background as default spectra. Other spectra are built-in 5-Scale such as jack pine needles and aspen leaves. Spectrum can be imported from an ASCII file. The format should be as follow for canopy reflectance:

W      R         Refl    Trans 400    0.03   0.02         0.02 410    0.03   0.02         0.02 420    0.03   0.02         0.02 430    0.03   0.02         0.02 450    0.03   0.02         0.02

where W is the wavelength in nm, R is the reflectance of an infinite thick leave (not used), Refl. is the single leaf reflectivity and Trans its transmittance.

For the background reflectance:

W         Refl  400       0.02  410       0.02  420       0.02  430       0.02  450       0.02

6.2.2 Input spectrum from LIBERTY The model LIBERTY can be used to simulate reflectivity and transmittance spectra.
