Because the first images were partly cloudy, the Pléiades 1A and 1B satellites (CNES/Airbus) continued to acquire images over Kyrgyzstan and a cloud-free 0.7-m stereoscopic pair was acquired 16 July 2022. We could also obtain a 1.5 m SPOT7 stereoscopic pair from the Airbus DS archive thanks to the Dinamis initiative. The latter was taken […]
Collard et al. (2022) have shown that Sentinel-2 can be used to estimate the wave spectrum in the presence sea ice. The waves tilt the sea ice surface and therefore modulate the reflected radiation that is received by Sentinel-2 sensor. The wave spectrum extracted from the image can even be used to invert the wave […]
Last week, Simon Gascoin and I spent quite some time working on the Marmolada event. Just a week-end to rest and Twitter reminded us Monday morning that this summer 2022 was special for glaciers. Not only are they out of balance with the climate and will probably suffer one of their most negative mass balance […]
Colleagues from ESA are reportedly claiming that the cloud masks from the new version v2.10 of Sen2cor are « as good as those of MAJA, if not better ». Well, let’s check. MAJA is the Level2A processor we designed within CESBIO and CNES, to process time series of images such as those of Sentinel-2, LANDSAT, VENµS, TRISHNA, […]
=> As agreed by CNES, the Sentinel-HR phase-0 study report has been published on HAL. This report can therefore be widely shared and cited in your own work: Julien Michel, Olivier Hagolle, Anne Puissant, Pierre-Alexis Herrault, Thomas Corpetti, et al.. Sentinel-HR Phase 0 Report. [Research Report] CNES – Centre national d’études spatiales; CESBIO. 2022. ⟨hal-03643411⟩ […]
=> Avec l’accord du CNES, le rapport de l’étude de phase 0 Sentinel-HR vient d’être rendu public sur HAL. Ce rapport peut donc être diffusé largement, et cité dans vos travaux : Julien Michel, Olivier Hagolle, Anne Puissant, Pierre-Alexis Herrault, Thomas Corpetti, et al.. Sentinel-HR Phase 0 Report. [Research Report] CNES – Centre national d’études […]
A bug affecting the AOT estimates and leading to underestimated surface reflectances in some rare cases concerns all MAJA v4.x versions prior to 4.5.4. Users activating the CAMS option shouldn’t have noticed, but if you don’t use CAMS auxiliary data you may face this issue. Therefore, we highly recommend all users to upgrade to the […]
Alors que les bassines se développent en France pour stocker l’eau en particulier en Pays de la Loire, elles sont aussi utilisées au Maroc dans un environnement bien plus aride. Dans la région désertique entre Errachidia et Boudnib, près de la frontière algérienne, l’apparition de ces piscines géantes a transformé le paysage. L’eau est prélevée […]
=> Nous sommes heureux d’annoncer la publication de SEN2VENµS, un dataset pour l’entraînement d’algorithmes de super-résolution pour Sentinel-2 !
