Objective : Develop an operational compositing strategy to produce spatially and temporally consistent images over large areas Department of Environmental Sciences and Land Use Planning - UCL GLC 2000, 18 & 22 march 2002
State of issue Compositing criteria: BRDF correction: • Selection of specific angle configurations and atmospheric conditions • Use only 10% of the information (ten-days compositing) • Requiresstable land cover time series with low cloud frequency • Requires the on-line use of a large archive of daily data Department of Environmental Sciences and Land Use Planning - UCL GLC 2000, 18 & 22 march 2002
Mean compositing strategy • Robust and simple compositing • The most stable parameter of a distribution • Use of all the available information The mean NDVI already suggested with AVHRR simulations (Meyer et al., 1995) Department of Environmental Sciences and Land Use Planning - UCL GLC 2000, 18 & 22 march 2002

vancutsc: The current compositing technique for VEGETATION data (VGT-S10 product) shows radiometric artefacts in the reflective bands that may cause a significant noise for subsequent retrievals of surface parameters. The performances of various compositing strategies are assessed as well for the reflective bands as for the NDVI composites. Dedicated indicators and statistical analysis are computed to provide quantitative results by zone and by band. Theartefacts we can see on S1 products are more visible on S10 products Frequency of compositing Sliding window Department of Environmental Sciences and Land Use Planning - UCL GLC 2000, 18 & 22 march 2002
