This study aimed to develop a remote sensing-based method for forecasting rice yield by considering vegetation greenness conditions during initial and peak greenness stages of the crop; and implemented for “boro” rice in Bangladeshi context. In this research, we used Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)-derived two 16-day composite of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) images at 250 m spatial resolution acquired during the initial (January 1 to January 16) and peak greenness (March 23/24 to April 6/7 depending on leap year) stages in conjunction with secondary datasets (i.e., boro suitability map, and ground-based information) during 2007-2012 period. The method consisted of two components: (i) developing a model for delineating area under rice cultivation before harvesting; and (ii) forecasting rice yield as a function of NDVI. Our results demonstrated strong agreements between the model (i.e., MODIS-based) and ground-based area estimates during 2010-2012 period, i.e., coefficient of determination (R2); root mean square error (RMSE); and relative error (RE) in between 0.93 to 0.95; 30,519 to 37,451 ha; and ±10% respectively at the 23 district-levels. We also found good agreements between forecasted (i.e., MODIS-based) and ground-based yields during 2010-2012 period (R2 between 0.76 and 0.86; RMSE between 0.21 and 0.29 Mton/ha, and RE between -5.45% and 6.65%) at the 23 district-levels. We believe that our developments of forecasting the boro rice yield would be useful for the decision makers in addressing food security in Bangladesh.

Metode penginderaan jarak jauh (Remote Sensing) telah banyak digunakan dalam berbagai bidang termasuk diantaranya bidang tutupan lahan/vegetasi termasuk perkebunan. Produk dari penginderaan jauh tersebut banyak tersedia diantaranya NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) dan EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Indeks) yang merupakan indikator proxy dari suatu lokasi atau kondisi tutupan lahan lokasi tersebut. Dari beberapa penilitian, NDVI telah banyak digunakan namun EVI masih belum banyak digunakan. Kami membandingkan pengaruh dari penggunaan NDVI dan EVI pada jumlah dan waktu perubahan yang terekam dengan menggunakan metode BFAST (Breaks For Additive Seasonal and Trend). Data yang digunakan adalah MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer)16 harian NDVI dan EVI berupa gambar komposit (06 April 2000 s.d. 16 November 2014) dari empat piksel (pixel 293,294,295 dan 296) disekitar menara fluks Aek Loba.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa EVI untuk pemantauan tutupan lahan di kawasan perkebunan tropis yang ditutupi oleh awan intens lebih baik dari NDVI itu. Meskipun demikian, penelitian lebih lanjut dengan meningkatkan resolusi spasial dari citra satelit untuk aplikasi NDVI sangat dianjurkan

Leaf area index (LAI) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) are key parameters for various applications. However, due to sensor tradeoff and cloud contaminations, these data are often temporally intermittent and spatially discontinuous. To address the discontinuities, this study proposed a method based on spectral matching of 30 m discontinuous values from Landsat data and 500 m temporally continuous values from Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. Experiments have proven that the proposed method can effectively yield spatiotemporally continuous vegetation products at 30 m spatial resolution. The results for three different study areas with NDVI and LAI showed that the method performs well in restoring the time series, fills in the missing data, and reasonably predicts the images. Remarkably, the proposed method could address the issue when no cloud-free data pairs are available close to the prediction date, because of the temporal information “borrowed” from coarser resolution data. Hence, the proposed method can make better use of partially obscured images. The reconstructed spatiotemporally continuous data have great potential for monitoring vegetation, agriculture, and environmental dynamics.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to analyze the development of grasslands in Zona da Mata, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, between 2000 and 2013, using a parameter based on the growth index of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (Modis) data series. Based on temporal NDVI profiles, which were used as indicators of edaphoclimatic conditions, the growth index (GI) was estimated for 16-day periods throughout the spring season of 2012 to early 2013, being compared with the average GI from 2000 to 2011, used as the reference period. Currently, the grassland areas in Zona da Mata occupy approximately 1.2 million hectares. According to the used methods, 177,322 ha (14.61%) of these grassland areas have very low vegetative growth; 577,698 ha (45.96%) have low growth; 433,475 ha (35.72%) have balanced growth; 39,980 ha (3.29%) have high growth; and 5,032 ha (0.41%) have very high vegetative growth. The grasslands had predominantly low vegetative growth during the studied period, and the NDVI/Modis series is a useful source of data for regional assessments.

This study presents a new method that mitigates biases between the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) from geostationary (GEO) and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites for Earth observation. The method geometrically and spectrally transforms GEO NDVI into LEO-compatible GEO NDVI, in which GEO’s off-nadir view is adjusted to a near-nadir view. First, a GEO-to-LEO NDVI transformation equation is derived using a linear mixture model of anisotropic vegetation and nonvegetation endmember spectra. The coefficients of the derived equation are a function of the endmember spectra of two sensors. The resultant equation is used to develop an NDVI transformation method in which endmember spectra are automatically computed from each sensor’s data independently and are combined to compute the coefficients. Importantly, this method does not require regression analysis using two-sensor NDVI data. The method is demonstrated using Himawari 8 Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) data at off-nadir view and Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data at near-nadir view in middle latitude. The results show that the magnitudes of the averaged NDVI biases between AHI and MODIS for five test sites (0.016–0.026) were reduced after the transformation (<0.01). These findings indicate that the proposed method facilitates the combination of GEO and LEO NDVIs to provide NDVIs with smaller differences, except for cases in which the fraction of vegetation cover (FVC) depends on the view angle. Further investigations should be conducted to reduce the remaining errors in the transformation and to explore the feasibility of using the proposed method to predict near-real-time and near-nadir LEO vegetation index time series using GEO data.

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a variabilidade no TVDI (Temperature-Vegetation Dryness Index) obtido de sensores orbitais com resoluções distintas, em região agrícola no sul do Brasil. Utilizou-se três imagens OLI/TIRS (Operational Land Imager/Thermal Infrared Sensor) do satélite Landsat 8, e 12 imagens MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) do satélite Terra. Dados coletados em campo serviram como base para classificação de imagem OLI/TIRS e mapeamento de áreas de arroz, soja, campos naturais, mata ciliar e solo exposto. O TVDI foi obtido por duas parametrizações em períodos distintos, utilizando as dispersões entre Temperatura de Superfície (TS) e NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). O TVDI obtido para ambos sensores apresentou padrão similar possibilitando diferenciar os alvos. Na média de todas as datas e classes, o TVDI obtido das imagens MODIS foi superior em 0,128 unidades ao TVDI obtido com o OLI/TIRS. Quando utilizado OLI/TIRS há um melhor detalhamento espacial das condições hídricas, mas com menor repetição ao longo da safra; já utilizando o TVDI-MODIS é possível monitorar as condições hídricas em escala regional, com menor detalhamento espacial, mas com maior repetitividade no tempo. O TVDI estimado pelos sensores OLI/TIRS e MODIS, pode ser utilizado de forma conjunta, trazendo informações complementares.

<p>El seguimiento de los ecosistemas con imágenes procedentes del sensor MODIS (<em>Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer</em>, espectroradiómetro de imágenes de resolución media) está actualmente muy extendido tanto en tareas de investigación como de gestión. Los índices de vegetación NDVI (<em>Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, </em>índice de vegetación de la diferencia normalizada) y EVI (<em>Enhanced Vegetation Index, </em>índice de vegetación mejorado) son ampliamente usados para la caracterización del funcionamiento ecosistémico. Ambos índices se emplean como estimadores lineales de la fracción de radiación fotosintéticamente activa interceptada por la vegetación (fAPAR), el principal control de la producción primaria. A pesar de sus ventajas, las imágenes de índices de vegetación no están libres de errores. El producto índices de vegetación MOD13Q1 proporciona una capa QA (<em>Quality assessment</em>,evaluación de la calidad) que informa sobre la calidad asociada a cada píxel. Esta información representa una gran ventaja para el usuario, al permitir filtrar aquellos datos que puedan inducir a errores al verse alterados por la presencia de aerosoles, nubes, nieve o sombras. Sin embargo, la realización de un filtrado homogéneo a lo largo de una gran región puede ocasionar la pérdida sistemática de información en determinadas zonas o épocas del año, introduciendo así un sesgo espacial o en la serie temporal. Esta situación puede ser especialmente crítica en regiones con alta heterogeneidad ambiental, como el Sureste Ibérico. En este trabajo evaluamos el efecto que el filtrado de calidad tiene sobre la información espacial y temporal de la base de datos del EVI en el periodo 2001-2010. Los esultados, expresados en porcentaje de información perdida (filtrada) y como efecto de estas pérdidas sobre los valores del EVI, indican que mientras que las áreas de menor altitud no se ven afectadas por el filtrado, las regiones de alta montaña muestran variaciones significativas en sus valores del EVI cuando son filtrados por aerosoles, sombras o la presencia de hielo o nieve. Esto pone de manifiesto la importancia del establecimiento de un protocolo para el procesamiento de la información que considere las características espaciales y temporales de los datos a filtrar.</p>

Objetivou avaliar a dinâmica de padrões na vegetação usando NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) associado à oferta hídrica no município de Dom Eliseu, no Pará com base na reflectância em áreas com cultivos anuais de grãos e plantios florestais, nos períodos de maior e menor deficiência de água no solo. Foram analisados dados meteorológicos para calcular balanços hídricos (CAD = 300 mm) e respostas em NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) extraídos do sensor MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer). As imagens-índice (NDVI) referentes aos meses de janeiro a dezembro de 2012 foram processadas no aplicativo Envi 4.7 e reclassificadas no ArcGIS10.1. Os resultados apontaram variações temporais ao longo do ano, tanto relacionados aos sistemas de agrícolas de produção, quanto aos remanescentes florestais os quais indicavam associações à oferta hídrica na região e possíveis respostas fenológicas. Em Dom Eliseu, o mês de maior valor em NDVI foi em abril com mais 60% do município expressando manutenção das folhas e da capacidade fotossintética das plantas, pois os valores em NDVI foram superiores a 0,6. No período de agosto a setembro ocorrem as menores cotas pluviais, ocasionando déficits hídricos que atingem valores superiores a 70 mm. Observou-se que as respostas em NDVI foram mais expressivas no mês de outubro, totalizando 16% da área de estudo com valores entre 0,2 a 0,3, evidenciando reduzida expressão em resposta espectral na biomassa dos remanescentes de vegetação e plantios florestais. Conclui-se que existe sensibilidade do NDVI em resposta à condição hídrica no solo. Ao contabilizar-se as diferenças entre a reflectâncias no infravermelho próximo e no vermelho divididos pela soma dessas reflectância, os baixos valores de NDVI, reforçam que no período de maior deficiência hídrica há queda de folhas, pois a superfície imageada, responde com valores mais elevados no solo do que na vegetação.
