=> Deux ou trois jours avant le symposium Living Planet, l’ESA a mis en ligne la nouvelle version de Sen2cor (V2.2.1), le logiciel de correction atmosphérique de Sentinel-2. J’avais déjà publié une comparaison basée sur la version V2.0.6, dans laquelle je concluais que la détection des nuages et des ombres était très mauvaise, mais que c’était […]

=> A couple of days before the living planet symposium, ESA issued a new version of Sen2cor (V2.2.1), the Sentinel-2 atmospheric correction toolbox. I had made a first comparison of MACCS and Sen2cor results using V2.0.6, regarding the cloud masks mainly, in which I concluded the scene classification was really bad, but probably due to […]

I did not have the chance to attend the latest ESA’s Living Planet Symposium so I was curious to read Olivier’s report. The picture in his post shows a crowded room… but what stroke me most is that it looks like 90% of the people in the room are middle-age men. There is no public […]

If I haven’t posted for more than a week, it is because I have been participating to the Living Planet Symposium 2016 in Prague. With the preparation, travel, and participation to this crazy symposium. I say crazy because it is packed with about 3000 people, of which I know only about 300. When you want […]

=> La télédétection satellite optique est un outil formidable pour suivre l’étendue du manteau neigeux en montagne… sauf quand il y a des nuages ! La télédétection radar du manteau neigeux (indifférente aux nuages) n’est pas encore opérationnelle en zone de montagne, notamment en raison du fait que le signal rétro-diffusé par le manteau neigeux […]

=> Optical remote sensing is great to map the snow cover extent in mountain regions as long as there is no cloud above the land surface. Radar remote sensing of the snow cover is not operational yet mainly because the backscatter from the snow surface is strongly dependent on the snowpack liquid water content. On […]

=> MUSCATE is a name you may have already read on this blog. It is the processing ground segment CNES set up for THEIA land data center. We used to process SPOT (Take5), Landsat 8 or SpotWorldHeritage data with a prototype ground segment. But to produce the Sentinel-2 level 2A data we had to scale up […]

=>MUSCATE est un nom que vous avez pu lire à plusieurs reprises sur ce blog. Il s’agit du centre de production mis en place par le CNES pour Theia. Nous avions un prototype de MUSCATE pour traiter les données SPOT (Take5), Landsat 8 ou SpotWorldHeritage. Mais pour la production des données de Sentinel-2, il nous […]

=>Thuy le Toan, Thi-Hoa Phan and Alexandre Bouvet from CESBIO just released a nice result on ESA website obtained with time series of Sentinel- 1A images. On this very cloudy region, the C band radar Sentinel-1A allows to monitor the growth stages of rice, and allow to detect a large reduction of the surface of rice crops […]
