North American ash species ( Fraxinus  spp.) are under dire threat from the invasive pest, emerald ash borer ( Agrilus planipennis , EAB), and mapping ash trees is of utmost significance for conservation and prevention efforts. We developed remote sensing techniques to identify ash trees at the individual tree level in a mixed-species forest in Maine, USA, using hyperspectral bands combined with derived spectral vegetation indices (SVIs), texture metrics using Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms. The pixel-based SVM-Optimized model proved to be the most accurate classification method with the lowest number of input variables including six Minimum Noise Fraction (MNF)-reduced bands, four SVIs and two texture variables, achieving 78.2% overall accuracy and 81.0% ash Producer’s Accuracy. The technique presented in this study could be used to map ash trees throughout Maine and other states with similar forest types for future preservation efforts.
