Publication Open Access The added value of stratified topographic correction of multispectral images(MDPI, 2016) Sola Torralba, Ion; González de Audícana Amenábar, María; Álvarez-Mozos, Jesús; Proyectos e Ingeniería Rural; Landa Ingeniaritza eta Proiektuak; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaSatellite images in mountainous areas are strongly affected by topography. Different studies demonstrated that the results of semi-empirical topographic correction algorithms improved when a stratification of land covers was carried out first. However, differences in the stratification strategies proposed and also in the evaluation of the results obtained make it unclear how to implement them. The objective of this study was to compare different stratification strategies with a non-stratified approach using several evaluation criteria. For that purpose, Statistic-Empirical and Sun-Canopy-Sensor + C algorithms were applied and six different stratification approaches, based on vegetation indices and land cover maps, were implemented and compared with the non-stratified traditional option. Overall, this study demonstrates that for this particular case study the six stratification approaches can give results similar to applying a traditional topographic correction with no previous stratification. Therefore, the non-stratified correction approach could potentially aid in removing the topographic effect, because it does not require any ancillary information and it is easier to implement in automatic image processing chains. The findings also suggest that the Statistic-Empirical method performs slightly better than the Sun-Canopy-Sensor + C correction, regardless of the stratification approach. In any case, further research is necessary to evaluate other stratification strategies and confirm these results.Publication Open Access Inter-comparison of atmospheric correction methods on Sentinel-2 images applied to croplands(IEEE, 2018) Sola Torralba, Ion; Álvarez-Mozos, Jesús; González de Audícana Amenábar, María; Ingeniería; IngeniaritzaAtmospheric correction of high resolution satellite scenery is a necessary preprocessing step for applications where bottom of atmosphere (BOA) reflectances are needed. The selection of the best atmospheric correction method to use on images acquired from new platforms, such as Sentinel-2, is essential to provide accurate BOA reflectances. In this work the performance of three atmospheric correction methods (6S, MAJA and SEN2COR) applied to Sentinel-2 scenes are compared by evaluating the resultant spectral signatures of six crop types on two specific dates, and their NDVI time series along a complete year. Although SEN2COR introduced greater corrections, especially in the infrared bands, the results suggest a varying performance of the methods depending on the land cover and the atmospheric conditions. Further research, particularly incorporating ground truth data, is recommended to rigorously validate the different atmospheric methods.
