Comparison of Spatiotemporal Fusion Models for Producing High Spatiotemporal Resolution Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Time Series Data Sets

摘要

It has a great significance to combine multi-source with different spatial resolution and temporal resolution to produce high spatiotemporal resolution Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series data sets. In this study, four spatiotemporal fusion models were analyzed and compared with each other. The models included the spatial and temporal adaptive reflectance model (STARFM), the enhanced spatial and temporal adaptive reflectance fusion model (ESTARFM), the flexible spatiotemporal data fusion model (FSDAF), and a spatiotemporal vegetation index image fusion model (STVIFM). The objective of is to: 1) compare four fusion models using Landsat-MODIS NDVI image from the Banan district, Chongqing Province; 2) analyze the prediction accuracy quantitatively and visually. Results indicate that STVIFM would be more suitable to produce NDVI time series data sets.
