A regional snow-line method for estimating snow cover from MODIS during cloud cover
The objective of this study is to propose and evaluate a method for snow cover mapping during clouds using the daily MODIS/Terra snow cover product. The proposed SNOWL approach is based on reclassifying pixels assigned as clouds to snow or land according to their relative position to the regional snow-line elevation. The accuracy of the SNOWL approach is evaluated over Austria, using daily snow...
متن کاملEstimating the uncertainty of land-cover extrapolations while constructing a raster map from tabular data
This paper presents novel techniques to estimate the uncertainty in extrapolations of spatially-explicit land-change simulation models. We illustrate the concept by mapping a historic landscape based on: 1) tabular data concerning the quantity in each land cover category at a distant point in time at the stratum level, 2) empirical maps from more recent points in time at the grid cell level, an...
متن کاملEstimating the Mean Cover Time of a Semi-markov Process via Simulation
Consider a semi-Markov process that, after entering state /, next goes to state j with probability P/ y , and given that the next state isy, the time until the transition from / to j occurs is a random variable with distribution F/j having mean m(i,j). Starting in state 0, suppose we are interested in estimating n = E[T], where T, called the cover time, is the time until all of the states 1,2,....
متن کاملA Robust Algorithm for Estimating Surface Fractional Vegetation Cover from Landsat Data
Fractional vegetation cover (FVC) is an essential land surface parameter for Earth surface process simulations and global change studies. The currently existing FVC products are mostly obtained from low or medium resolution remotely sensed data, while many applications require the fine spatial resolution FVC product. The availability of well-calibrated coverage of Landsat imagery over large are...
متن کاملCover Feature Big Data
Today’s applications often contain datasets that are too big to fit in a single computer’s main memory. Analyzing these massive datasets will require scalable and sophisticated machine-learning methods. Two commonly used approaches are stochastic optimization and inference algorithms,1 which process one data point at a time; and distributed computing based on the MapReduce framework,2 where the...
