Study on Spatial Scale Transformation Method of MODIS NDVI and NOAA NDVI in Inner Mongolia Grassland

Based on MODIS NDVI and NOAA NDVI datum, covering the primary grassland types of Inner Mongolian in growing seasons from 2000 to 2003, this paper analyzes annual variation rule of the relationship between MODIS NDVI and NOAA NDVI datum. We use the theory of statistics to discuss the spatial scaling methods between different resolutions images of remote sensing in large-scale spatial extent. At the same time, we build spatial scaling model by MODIS NDVI and NOAA NDVI datum of July and August in 2002, and apply it to the 2003’s NOAA NDVI datum, then take the survey datum in field to validate the precision of the model. The result indicates that this spatial scaling method is effective, and the model could be applied to other times. This method makes it scientific and effective to analyze and compare the result of monitor by NOAA NDVI and MODIS NDVI of different times in grassland.
