LIBRARY OF SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GEOGRAPHICAL OBJECTS WITHIN THE STRUCTURE OF THE LOMONOSOV MOSCOW STATE UNIVERSITY GEOPORTAL

Structural framework of the MSU Geoportal spectral library is discussed. A part of the library includes information about northern plants (of the Kola Peninsula). The spectra are referred to the topographic map and placed over multi- and hyperspectral space images and thematic maps resulting from imagery interpretation. Primary attention was given to the spectra of typical plant species. The collection of spectra considers the variations of spectral parameters of a certain species due to different site conditions, such as humidity, slope aspect and gradient, soil properties, etc., and the type and degree of technogenic impact. Each item of the designed spectral library of northern plants provides the description of the object, spectrometry data (textual file and graph), geographic coordinates and photo of a sample plant.
