Using HJ-1 CCD and MODIS Fusion Data to Invert HJ-1 NBAR for Time Series Analysis, a Case Study in the Mountain Valley of North China

Abstract

HJ-1 charge-coupled device (CCD) data with high temporal and medium spatial resolution are widely used in environmental and disaster monitoring in China. However, due to bad weather, it is difficult to obtain sufficient time-continuous HJ-1 CCD data for environmental monitoring. In this study, the mountain valley with farmland and forestland in North China is selected as the experimental area, and HJ-1 CCD and moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) data are used in the case study. An improved method of fusing data and inversing surface reflectivity is presented to obtain the HJ-1 inversion network-based application resolution (NBAR) data using linear matching of the Ross Thick-Li Sparse Reciprocal (RTLSR) model, and then predicted reflectivity using the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model. The fusion data have advantages of high spatial and temporal resolution, as well as meeting the requirements of high quality and quantity of small-scale regional data. This case study provides a feasibility method for the HJ-1 satellites to produce the secondary products for small-scale remote sensing ground surface research. It also provides a reference for dynamic information acquisition and application of small satellite data, contributing to the improvement in RS estimation of surface environment variables.
