GLC2000: British Isles and Northwest Europe An Evaluation of the SPOT Vegetation Sensor for Land Use Mapping Erik de Badts
Window Definition • Comparison with NOAA-AVHRR • PELCOM
Cloud Removal Spline Function Define “Cloudy” Pixels Preservation of Original Pixel Values Extrapolations in Beginning and Ending of Time Series HANTS (Harmonic Analysis of Time Series) Lost of Original Pixel Value Smoothed Time Series No Objective Rules
HANTS Algorithm Explained Original cloud affected and reconstructed cloudfree NDVI time series profile of one pixel The Fourier components from which the cloudfree NDVI time series profile is reconstructed
Conclusion Cloud Removal Higher Values in Filled Gaps Wider Data Range: Extremes HANTS Spline Original
Regionalization Improvement Discrimination Process on Difficult Classes Misclassification Due to Spectral Confusion Reduces
Classification • Masks • Water Bodies • Urban Areas • Wetlands • Classification: Treegrowing with CART (Salford Systems) • Forests: Red Wavelengths • NDVI • CART • No Undesired “Mixed” Classes • Statistical Prove on Separability
Validation • CORINE • PELCOM • FOA-Statistics
Validation Geometrical Distortion of NOAA: Shift Towards the Southeast Push Broom Wisk Broom
Conclusion • HANTS : Best Way to Obtain a Cloudfree Time Series • Treegrowing is a Consistent Method for Classification • Few Improvement Compared to PELCOM (+1.5%)
