Performance of Sentinel-2 data in unsupervised classification: a case study of statistical comparison with Landsat 8 OLI
نویسنده
چکیده
What to expect, when planning to use Sentinel-2 datasets in unsupervised classification? This is a very actual question, since Copernicus Sentinel-2 data has been available since November 2015, but due to the winter period conditions, wide use has been obstacled, user experiences are missing. In a European Space Agency (ESA) financed feasibility study we needed to simulate 2015 Sentinel-2 data input with Landsat 8 OLI data, and we were also curious, how this may affect the performance? In a case study we measured Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 OLI to Kompsat-3 very high resolution multispectral imagery in four sample sites and we used landscape indices to quantify the effect of utilized input data on spatial pattern.

The Landsat 15-m Panchromatic-Assisted Downscaling (LPAD) method to downscale Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) 30-m data to Sentinel-2 multi-spectral instrument (MSI) 20-m resolution is presented. The method first downscales the Landsat-8 30-m OLI bands to 15-m using the spatial detail provided by the Landsat-8 15-m panchromatic band and then reprojects and resamples the downscaled 15-m ...
