New satellite systems like RapidEye provide both data of high geometric resolution and high repetition rates. Because of the Germany-wide diversity of natural conditions, same acquisition dates don't correspond to same phenological phases. Thus, a phenological structuring of the available imagery over the year is needed for the assessment of Rapid-Eye imagery regarding their suitability for the classification and distinction of vegetation classes. On the example of the phenological phase ‘Yellow Ripeness’ of Winter Wheat in 2010, the presented algorithm demonstrates for the total area of Germany how daily phenological phases can be automatically interpolated on demand, in real-time and considering interpolation accuracies. As input, daily provided point data on temperature and phenological phases from the extensive network of the German Weather Service as well as a SRTM digital elevation model are used. The modeling results enable the identification of temporal phenological windows for specific test sites.","PeriodicalId":254778,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International Workshop on the Analysis of Multi-temporal Remote Sensing Images (Multi-Temp)","volume":"227 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116044750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forested areas usually show maximum interannual variability in spring and fall (temperature dependence), while grasslands have maximum variability in summer (moisture dependence). In moister areas., grasslands show less summer variability and approach the forest pattern. Croplands mimic the temporal pattern of grasslands located in the same ecoregion. In the ecotone between naturally forest and naturally grassland ecoregions, crops show greater summer variability than their nearby grasslands, indicating a greater sensitivity by crops than by grasslands to moisture stress. This pattern divergence may be used to show crop particularly sensitive to drought; this would be particularly useful where detailed local meteorological and crop data are not compiled. Changes in patterns over time can also help plan agricultural adaptation to climate change in a spatially complete form.","PeriodicalId":254778,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International Workshop on the Analysis of Multi-temporal Remote Sensing Images (Multi-Temp)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122344184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using NASA's Long Term Data Record (LTDR), the YLCD method has been applied to IDR (iterative Interpolation for Data Reconstruction) reconstructed LTDR data, in order to account for atmospheric contamination of part of the dataset for a few selected pixels.

The purpose of this work is to present a new, easy-to-use software tool that produces phenology information from EOS vegetation temporal data — PhenoSat.

Conventionally, multi-temporal analysis performed at pixel level suffer from several restrictions, e.g., registration, bi-temporal analysis. To overcome these restrictions, two methods for multi-temporal analysis are proposed at patch level. One is for change detection in time series data by classifying all pairs of patches along time axis in the whole sequence into two classes. Features used for classification are similarity measures based on local statistical models and histogram of local patterns. The other aims at evolution analysis in long image time series. To characterize the evolution patterns, spatio-temporal local pattern features are extracted from time series data. ν-support vector machine (ν-SVM) is applied to classify different kinds of evolution at patch level. Performance is evaluated based on our database produced by iterative classification.","PeriodicalId":254778,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International Workshop on the Analysis of Multi-temporal Remote Sensing Images (Multi-Temp)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129334069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we propose a novel climatology fitting approach to quantify inter-annual anomalies in LAI seasonality. A consistent archive of daily LAI estimates was first derived from historical AVHRR satellite data for the 1981–2000 period over a globally representative sample of sites. The climatology values were then computed by averaging multi-year LAI profiles, gap filling and smoothing to eliminate possible high temporal frequency residual artifacts. The inter-annual variations in LAI were finally quantified by scaling and shifting the seasonal climatological patterns to the actual observations. In addition to capturing LAI dynamics and quantifying anomalies, this climatology fitting approach allows improving the continuity and consistency of time series by filling gaps and smoothing LAI dynamics.","PeriodicalId":254778,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International Workshop on the Analysis of Multi-temporal Remote Sensing Images (Multi-Temp)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114602193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
