Handbooks for GERSers
Algorithm Developed by GERSers
-
Fmask
The software called Fmask (Function of mask) is used for automated clouds, cloud shadows, and snow masking for Landsats 4-8 and Sentinel 2 images.
-
Preprocessing-Tools
Preprocessing tools for Landsat data.
-
CCDC
Algorithm developed for Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC) of land cover using all available Landsat data.
-
COLD
Algorithm for COntinuous monitoring of Land Disturbance (COLD) using Landsat time series. It can detect many kinds of land disturbance continuously as new images are collected and provide historical land disturbance maps retrospectively.
-
Cmask
This tool called Cmask (Cirrus cloud mask) is used for cirrus cloud detection in Landsat 8 imagery using a time series of data from the Cirrus Band (1.36 – 1.39 µm).
-
TRA
The source codes of Time-series-based Reflectance Adjustment (TRA) approach (Windows C/C++ and MATLAB version)
