[GRASS-dev] New GRASS addon i.sentinel.mask is now available (GSoC 2018 project)

[Stefan Blumentrath]

i.topo.corr performed quite well for us in the Norwegian mountains with minnaert method…
What options did you try in i.topo.corr?

Cheers
Stefan

Hi Stefan!
Certainly applying the topographic correction could be very useful to avoid misclassification.
I did several tests with i.topo.corr but I always got strange results especially in areas with steeper terrain.
I also tested the topographic correction tool implemented in arcsi [0] but again the results were not satisfactory at all. This is why I have not further investigated this issue within my PhD research.

In order to remove misclassifications, e.g. due to topographic shadows, I implemented the shadow mask cleaning procedure. It intersects the rough shadow mask with the cloud mask that is shifted according to the sun position. In this way, all the areas identified as shadows without a corresponding cloud are removed from the final shadow mask.

I'm still very interested in investigating the topographic correction so if you have any suggestion please, let me know!!

Ciao,
Roberta

Hi Roberta,

What about topographic correction (i.topo.corr [1])?
Should that be run before as well?
I would assume it has some impact on shadow detection in steeper terrain…

Cheers
Stefan

Hi all!
The first version of i.sentinel.mask is now available and can be installed from the official svn repository.
i.sentinel.mask is a module for cloud and shadow masks computation and it is the first step of my GSoC project.

Thank you, Roberta. Great job !

Thank you!


One question: ISTR that you mentioned that the input to this module has to be atmospherically corrected images, i.e. land surface reflectance. Is this true ? If yes, then this needs to be mentioned in the man page.

Yes, it's true! I'm going to add it.
