The Linear Spectral Mixture Model• The integrated reflectance of a spectrally
heterogeneous surface can be described as a linear combination of spectral endmembers
• Inverting a standardized linear mixture model converts the Landsat reflectance to subpixel fractions estimates of Substrate (S), Vegetation (V) and Dark (D) materials
• Seasonal variability of the fractions is a physically based approach for characterizing surfaces

The Landsat ETM+ Global Mixing Space• 100 Environments• 100,000,000 spectra• 3 dimensions contain > 98%
of the variance
Small and Milesi, 2013 RSE6/25/14
Validation with Ground Observations
• 74 ground measurements of Fc• 19 seasonal and perennial crops• 11 dates between April and
October 2008 coincidental with Landsat acquisitions
Approach– Multi-season characterization of the
landscape through ~4-7 images within 1-2 yrs (peak of growing season, pre-harvest, post-harvest)
– Unmixing to SVD (Substrate/Vegetation/Dark)– Standard deviation of seasonal SVD

Main Combinations
• Cropland: high vegetation/soil variability• Fallow: high substrate with low variability
(vegetation fraction close to zero)• Rangeland: low vegetation and low substrate
fractions, low variability• Forest, wetlands: high vegetation, high dark
fractions, low variability
