![]() For example, 6 tetracubes have mirror symmetry and one is chiral, giving a count of 7 or 8 tetracubes respectively. The forensic branch, the nondestructive recognition of bodily fluids, requires spectral preprocessing to account for the influence of the carrier material, which needs to be addressed in a separate study.Like polyominoes, polycubes can be enumerated in two ways, depending on whether chiral pairs of polycubes are counted as one polycube or two. I present the biocrust branch of the method development here, because it gives the essence of the method in a nutshell. The method proposed allows the manual selection of features or the identification of given features in PCA ordination plots, which fully permits the selection of relevant and omission of irrelevant objects, as well as identification of unknown classes. ![]() This means that objects belonging to one class may be split into several classes (overestimation) or that objects belonging to several classes are merged into one (underestimation), where no distinction between relevant or irrelevant objects is made. Unsupervised techniques, like k-means clustering, require the definition of the amount of classes to be separated, which bears a given risk of over- or underestimation of class numbers. It was found that supervised techniques (random forest, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and support vector machines (SVM) were tested), which are unable to classify unknown classes by their nature, assigned irrelevant objects to one of the given classes of relevant objects. Several methods for object classification were tested, where particular emphasis was put on recognition of unknown classes and handling of irrelevant „unclassifiable“ objects. The method presented is the combined outcome of a biocrust-related ecological project and a Horizon2020 COST action on multimodal imaging in forensic science. The samples represented the sandy substrate, an algal biocrust dominated by Zygogonium ericetorum, a moss crust dominated by Polytrichum piliferum, and a mixed biocrust composed of both Z. A detailed description of the sampling site is given by. The study site was a catena from the mobile part of an inland dune to dry acidic grassland dominated by Corynephorus canescens and located near Lieberose, Brandenburg, northeast Germany (51★5′49″N, 14☂2′22″E). Based on their finding that only the first few principal component image bands contain significant information, this study aimed at elucidating the feasibility of biocrust classification by manual selection of spectral features in PCA ordination plots. The method proposed refers to Rodarmel and Shan who suggested principal component analysis for preprocessing of hyperspectral images. There was no attempt so far in the literature to use multispectral PCA classification of biocrusts in high-resolution images. High-resolution VIS-NIR spectroscopy was employed to study the influence of wetting on cyanolichen-dominated biocrusts in a non-imaging approach. Non-spectral unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA) classification of biocrusts has indicated that the development of the microbial community was affected at multiple scales, including biocrust successional stage, seasonal effect and the micro-geomorphology. However, a common problem with linear spectral mixture analysis (SMA) remains when the number of spectral endmembers is greater than the number actually required to unmix an individual pixel in the scene. propose support vector machines (SVM) for supervised classification of biocrusts from hyperspectral remote sensing data. All spectral indices well reflect crust activity or biomass but are not specific enough to differentiate between different crust types, like lichen, cyanobacterial, algal or moss biocrusts. To overcome this disadvantage, several more specific spectral indices have been proposed for biocrusts, like the crust index (CI, respectively ), the brightness index (BI ) or the biological soil crust index (BSCI ), where biocrusts are characterized by typical ranges of respective index values. For biocrusts, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI ) has been proposed however, high NDVI values of wet biocrusts may be misinterpreted as vascular plant vegetation dynamics whereas dry biocrusts only gained negligible NDVI values. The multispectral approach in remote sensing typically includes the estimation of spectral indices.
