Identification of Vegetation Species Distribution using Field Spectrometer and Worldview-2 Imagery

Wongsorejo Subdistrict in Banyuwangi has a huge variation of vegetation species. In order to manage the forest effectively, it is required to do mapping and inventory of the vegetation species distribution. One of the methods to identify the vegetation species using multispectral imagery integrated with field spectrometry measurement. This paper explain the application of these method in identification of vegetation species distribution located in Wongsorejo Subdistrict. We collects the spectral signature of some distinct unique vegetation species with in situ spectrometry measurement. It used as an input in image classification of Worldview-2 using spectral angle mapper method. The result expected is the spectral library collection of some unique species and its distribution map
