Quantitative comparison of cloud masks from MACCS/MAJA, Sen2Cor and GEOSYS (hand made)

=> As already explained in a previous post, we obtained some Sentinel-2 hand made cloud masks from GEOSYS company. We used those to validate the cloud masks from MACCS/MAJA. But we wanted to use them further to make a quantitative comparison with Sen2Cor cloud masks.But this comparison required solving a little issue : GEOSYS cloud masks […]

The importance of a good cloud mask for the operational use of Sentinel-2 data

=> The above plot shows the TOA reflectance time series gathered by Sentinel-2 over a pixel chosen randomly in a tile in the centre of France (tile 31TDK, pixel 3000-7000), from L1C products.  Looking at the time series, it is rather difficult to tell what kind of surface was observed, even if a vegetation cycle […]

First test of Sen2cor 2.2.1 (and comparison with MACCS)

=> 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 […]
