RAPID PROTOTYPING VV DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS

• Invasive Species Prediction Models
• NISFS
• HyperSpec
• Stepwise-LDA
• Generalized Target Detection Models applied to
  Invasives Applications

Predictions

• Discrete Variable Invasive Species Prediction
  Models
• Assess applicability of spaceborne hyperspectral
  measurements for invasives prediction modeling
• Compare efficacy of continuous variable models
  (e.g. NISFS) to discrete variable models (e.g.
  HyperSpec) for invasives prediction modeling

VALUE BENEFITS

• Global/Regional scale model products
• Target Prediction Maps

• Invasives Prediction Model that does not require
  extensive field data
• Assessment of existing and new models based on
  prediction accuracies, computational costs,
  timeliness of end product, time and expertise
  requirements of user

EARTH OBSERVATIONS

• Imagery ETM, MODIS, Hyperion, etc.
• Field Missions Field Samples, Spectroradiometer
  Data, etc
• Ancillary Data water, roads, government
  boundaries, etc provided by USGS

• Vegetation Indices
