Monitoring cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms at high spatiotemporal resolution by fusing Landsat and MODIS imagery
Monitoring cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms at high spatiotemporal resolution by fusing Landsat and MODIS imagery
The proposed approach consists of two steps: (1) a new CyanoHAB spectral index called Broad Wavelength Algae Index (BWAI) is developed for fine-but-sparse (Landsat) and coarse-but-frequent (MODIS) satellite images, and (2) the Landsat and MODIS derived BWAI images are fused by the Robust Adaptive Spatial and Temporal Fusion Model (RASTFM) to generate fine-and-frequent Landsat-like BWAI images.
