Abstract:

Multi-temporal remote sensing images are important data sources for agricultural phenology, growth, and yield monitoring. However, visible light images are vulnerable to cloud and rain, and there is a lack of high temporal and spatial resolution data in reality, the remote sensing image fusion methods have become particularly important. ESTARFM (Enhanced Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model) is used to synthesize high spatial-temporal resolution images in small areas. The adaptability and application of the algorithm in different agricultural growing areas in China have not yet fully developed. In this paper, the large area application test analysis was performed in the Hebei, Heilongjiang, and Xinjiang. Based on MODIS and Landsat images, we used ESTARFM to generate Landsat images with high spatial-temporal characteristics, which were compared with the real Landsat images. The application of ESTARFM algorithm in NDVI was performed for crop growth monitoring in Xinjiang. In conclusion ESTARFM can perform better image prediction in three different regional conditions, generate 30 m multi-temporal NDVI with good spatial resolution in Xinjiang, and monitor the growth of crops.

Key words: high spatiotemporal resolution, ESTARFM, fusion data, NDVI, growth monitoring
