1 Virtual constellations, time series, and cloud screening opportunities for Sentinel 2 and Landsat Sentinel 2 for Science Workshop May 2014 ESA ESRIN, Frascati (Rome), Italy 1 Part 1: Title: Towards a satellite virtual constellation for land characterization: Concept and roles for Sentinel 2 and Landsat Authors: Mike Wulder, Joanne White, Thomas Hilker, Nicholas Coops, Patrick Griffiths, Dirk Pflugmacher, Patrick Hostert, Jeff Masek Part 2: Title: Opportunities for combining Landsat and Sentinel 2 in time series analysis for monitoring environmental change Authors: Curtis Woodcock (sends regrets), Zhe Zhu, Shixiong Wang 2/102 1
2 Context and needs: Context: Inventory, monitoring, climate, deforestation Synoptic and comprehensive data sets National and international reporting UN FAO, GEO, GFOI, REDD+, via ECV, EBV Desired outcomes: Surface reflectance Land cover, Land cover change, events, types, Forest structure All at multiple time periods in a scientifically robust, transparent, and repeatable manner 4 Year Observing the land (optical) better than 100m* Number flying 1 st year of each decade th th July /52 7 th July th July st July th August 2009 Satellite * Graphic: excluding Helios, Alan Belward, Yaogan, KH, JRC; etc See Belward and Skøien, ISPRS-JPRS 7/102 2
3 So, there are lots of satellites From a user perspective: Require a better understanding, framework, for utilizing and incorporating differing satellite measures Need free and open access, archive all data, seamless automatable download Consistent and transparent processing, analysis ready products Robust calibration and georadiometric characteristics Simplifying strategies to broaden user base 8/102 Virtual Constellation The Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) defines a virtual satellite constellation broadly as a set of space and ground segment capabilities that operate in a coordinated manner to meet a combined and common set of Earth Observation requirements. Thematic focus, i.e., oceans, atmosphere, land 9/102 3
4 VC for land Building upon the CEOS definition CEOS, space agency focus Revisit with an applications focus Challenges: differences in bandwidth, number / location of bands, orbital considerations, signal to noise ratio, access, analysis readiness, etc. Interoperability is key 10/102 Application Readiness Level (ARL) Levels of interoperability Thematic applications focused VCs are driven by the need of the application and outcome information drivers Reporting, science, management, etc. Examples focus on land VC related to land cover, land cover change, and vegetation structure How similar are measures, can the measures be treat as the same, are there calibration approaches, or is the data unique but informative? 11/102 4
5 ARL described 2 ARL 1. Similar sensors, minimal processing, crosscalibration, spatial and spectral agreement, surface reflectance (Landsats, Sentinel 2) As available ARL 2. Compatible, but fundamentally different spatial / spectral characteristics; different calibration characteristics (national and commercial satellites) On demand opportunities ARL 3. Auxiliary, not interoperable. Unique information captured (spatially or spectrally); allow for modeling, integration (e.g., radar, lidar, nanocube swarm sats, ) Utility applications driven 12/102 At ARL 1, what is possible? Landsat 5/7 provide example of what can be done with two well calibrated instruments Sentinel 2: USGS, NASA / ESA efforts on going (Masek et al., Vermote et al.) Surface reflectance Physical value Variable for integration 13/102 5
6 Why is it some important to be able to treat Landsat and Sentinel 2 as interoperable? Some context and examples 14/102 Change in understanding Pixel based approaches Think of pixels rather than images Set criteria, then use best available pixel Merging databases with image processing Orthorectification, Geometric matching Radiometric calibration Cloud and shadow screening Assign pixels with quality flags (Griffiths / Hostert, HU, talk forthcoming) Large projects have had emphasis reversed Change first, cover later 15 6
7 Time series notes Increased knowledge on the nature of changes: Magnitude, persistence, type Trends not only maps Labelling of change Attribution of change important for inferring process, impact (e.g., deforestation vs harvesting) Transitions informative on cover, succession Temporal information explanatory of structural development (disturbance through to regeneration, recovery; biomass, volume) 16 Paradigm Shift Scene based Pixel based Free and open access to the data Standardized, robust image products (L1T) Automated bulk processing tools (LEDAPS, Fmask) Increasing computing capacity Within year Between year R.

All images are eligible, not just the images used in final composites (many images per year and between years) A fine resolution water mask is the output created a circa 2010 water bodies map for Canada It will be of the greatest spatial detail generated to date. Binary maps and likelihood maps are envisioned. Preliminary results follow: 92/102 32
