1 Moderate- and high-resolution Earth Observation data based forest and agriculture monitoring in Russia using VEGA Web-Service Sergey BARTALEV and Evgeny LOUPIAN Space Research Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences

2 VEGA - Web-based Vegetation Monitoring Service vega.smislab.ru VEGA (in operation since May 2011) is developed by the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences to provide vegetation status analysis tools based on multi-annual and near-real-time EO data

3 Main component of VEGA Service (I) Multi-annual of automatic near-real-time update EO data archive, including: a. MODIS Surface Reflectance MOD09 standard products ( ongoing) b. Landsat-TM/ETM+ automatic download ( ongoing) (II) Automated EO data processing chains, including: a. EO data pre-processing (cloud/shadow screening, image compositing, vegetation indexes generation, data time-series reconstruction and etc) b. Thematic products generation (land cover/land use, active fires, burnt area and severity, crop masks and etc) (III) Web-based Users Interface with data analysis tools

4 MODIS data cloud/cloud-shadow screening R 0.4 NDSI Snow Daily data masks creation: 1) Snow and clouds detection Clear surface Clouds R3 2) Shadows detection ) Statistical filtering Clear surface Semi clouds A B C Clear surface 0,35 satellite Sun 0,3 0,25 0,2 cloud 0,15 x North h B - shadow y А cloud pixel East 0,1 0, pixen number Geometry of shadow line median filter original series Shadow line analysis

8 Landsat-TM clouds and shadow masking Landsat-TM Clouds detection (in red) Geometric shadow belt (in black) 1. Clouds detection 2. Geometric modelling of shadows belts 3. Filtering of the geometric shadows 4. Spatial filtering of clouds and shadows Detected clouds (red) and shadows (green)

9 Main principals for land cover products generation chains Geographical focus on national level (entire Russia) with potential expansion Primary use of open sources of EO data, such as moderate res. (MODIS, SPOT-VGT, VIIRS and future Proba-V, Sentinel-3) and high-res. (Landsat-TM/ETM+ and future LCM and Sentinel-2) instruments Long-term time-series data analysis for land cover mapping and monitoring Spatially and temporally adaptive algorithms to ensure globally consistent land cover mapping and monitoring Technological focus on fully automated EO data processing chains to perform land monitoring in routine and repeatable manner

10 Main thematic focuses Generic land cover mapping Near-real time wildfire monitoring and assessment of fire consequences Forest cover mapping, characterisation and change monitoring Agricultural monitoring, including arable land dynamic, crop types mapping and status assessment
