Airborne Spectral Reflectance Dataset of Submerged Plastic Targets in a Coastal Environment

Among the emerging applications of remote sensing technologies, detection plastic litter has observed successful in recent years. However, while number studies and datasets for spectral characterization is growing, few address being submerged natural seawater an outdoor context. This study aims to investigate feasibility hyperspectral less-than-ideal conditions. We present a dataset eight different polymers field conditions, taken by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on days three-week period. The measurements were carried out off coast Mytilene, Greece. team collected using Bayspec OCI-F push broom sensor from 25 m 40 height above water. For contextual background, also contains optical (RGB) high-resolution orthomosaics.
