Validation systématique des produits Sentinel-2 de Theia

=>Camille Desjardins (du CNES (DSO/SI/MO)), qui s’occupe de la validation des produits de niveau 2A distribués par THEIA, a très récement mis en place une validation systématique des produits fournis par MAJA, avec l’aide d’un service d’exploitation du CNES (DNO.OT/PE). Le travail est effectué par Bruno Besson avec l’aide de Nicolas Guilleminot (de Thales Services), […]

[MUSCATE News] Reprocessing of Sentinel-2B data aquired from July to October 2017

=> MUSCATE is in a good shape these days thznkd to the continuous efforts of the development team (CNES and CAP GEMINI) who solved several issues. The counter of Sentinel-2 Level 2A products reached 70 000 products this night, just one month after reaching 60000. If we sum all the products delivered by MUSCATE, we […]

Amélioration de la détection des nuages hauts dans MAJA pour les images de Sentinel-2

=>La recherche pour l’amélioration des performances des méthodes de MAJA repose actuellement sur une toute petite équipe au CESBIO, composée de deux personnes, Bastien Rouquié, qui travaille sur l’amélioration des estimations d’aérosols, et moi, qui passe presque tout mon temps en réunions, ou a écrire des articles de blog (et parfois les deux en même […]

Theia produit au niveau 2A toute la bande côtière du Maghreb

=>Depuis la découverte des récents bugs et la mise en place de moyens de les contourner, le rythme de  production de MUSCATE s’est accru, et nous avons donc pu étendre un peu les zones où nous fournissons des données Sentinel-2 (A&B) corrigées des effets atmosphériques, avec un bon masque de nuages: il s’agit de produits […]

[MUSCATE] Theia releases Sentinel-2 L2A products on the whole Maghreb coastal region

=> Since we understood the bugs which were slowing MUSCATE, and we found ways to mitigate them, the production rhythm of MUSCATE improved and we were able to extend the zones where we provide Sentinel-2 (A&B) L2A products. L2A products provide surface reflectances after correction of atmospheric effects and with a high quality cloud mask. […]

Improvements of MAJA cloud masks in production

We are continuously working on improving the Sentinel-2 L2A products delivered by Theia. Since the 2nd of February, a new parametrization was put in production in order to improve two points of the cloud masks. There is a page which summarizes the variations of Theia product versions. Because of some error within Muscate production centre, […]

Using NDVI with atmospherically corrected data

NDVI NDVI is by far the most commonly used vegetation index. NDVI was developed in the early seventies (Rouse 1973, Tucker 1979), and widely used with remote sensing in the nineties until now. It is computed from the surface reflectance in the red and near infra-red channels on each side of the red-edge.  where and […]
