WASP source and executable are now openly available

WASP (Weighted Average Synthesis Processor) is the tool we use to compute the nice (mostly) cloud free syntheses of Sentinel-2 surface reflectances, as shown in the images below. A full resolution viewer is also available in this post, or you may also download the products you can download from Theia. As promised (but it took a while to get the allowance), we have just released it as an open source software and we are also providing a compiled version for linux platforms.The WASP method was developed at CESBIO by O.Hagolle, in 2007, during the preparation of the Venµs mission. It then evolved and improved with the help of several persons at CESBIO (V.Debaecker, M.Huc, D.Morin, M.Kadiri). Then an operational version was developed by CS Romania within the Sen2Agri consortium funded by ESA, which is distributed as open source. WASP was finally adapted to work in Theia context, and improved by P.Kettig. Peter also set up distribution of the software.So finally, here is how you can download the software :

  • the source code is available within CNES github repository. You will also find there a forum (issues) and a readme file to compile and use the software.
  • but P.Kettig also compiled an executable version (which is tested on Redhat and Ubuntu), which is available from CNES software distribution server. Until now, only a couple of users have used it, so in case of problems, please open an issue on the github platform.

Dates de fauche en France

En 2024, des collègues du Cesbio ont publié un article* sur la cartographie de la date de fauche en France en 2022 à partir des données satellitaires Sentinel-2.   Leur magnifique figure 10 a attiré mon attention. La version à haute résolution fournie avec l’article (2861 × 2911 pixels) correspond à une image dont les pixels font […]

Évolution du jour de déneigement dans les Alpes françaises et les Pyrénées

Les socio-écosystèmes des Alpes et des Pyrénées dépendent étroitement des fluctuations annuelles du manteau neigeux. En particulier, le moment de l’année où la neige disparait détermine le début de la saison de croissance de la végétation de montagne et donc la période des estives. Le changement climatique est en train de bouleverser ce rythme saisonnier. […]

BIOMASS, the third launched satellite mission designed at CESBIO !

After SMOS in 2009, and VENµS in 2017, the CESBIO laboratory is very proud to see its third proposed mission, Biomass, reach orbit. As always, it has been a long journey from the idea, at the beginning of the century, to the selection in 2013 as the seventh Earth Explorer Mission by ESA, to the […]
