                         wetlands can rapidly alter the ecology of these systems by 
                         outcompeting native plant species for resources. Identifying and 
                         mapping Phragmites can help resource managers to restore affected 
                         wetlands. In this work, we use probabilistic neural network with 
                         wavelet texture features for mapping regions with Phragmites in 
                         visible spectrum imagery acquired at low altitude with small 
                         unmanned aerial system. Evaluation study was conducted with 
                         imagery acquired in the delta of the Pearl River located in 
                         southeastern Louisiana and southwestern Mississippi, United States 
                         of America. In comparison to state-of-the-art, our approach 
                         presented improvements in several statistical variables such as 
                         overall accuracy and kappa value. Furthermore, we show that the 
                         remaining omission and commission errors with this technique are 
                         generally located along boundaries of patches with Phragmites, 
                         which reduces unnecessary efforts for resource managers while 
                         searching for nonexistent patches.",
