Interpretable Scenicness from Sentinel-2 Imagery
Landscape aesthetics, or scenicness, has been identified as an important ecosystem service that contribute to human health and well-being. Currently there are no methods to inventorize landscape scenicness on a large scale. In this paper we study how to upscale local assessments of scenicness provided by human observers, and we do so by using satellite

Discrimination of tropical forest types, dominant species, and mapping of functional guilds by hyperspectral and simulated multispectral Sentinel-2 data [PDF]
To answer new scientific and ecological questions and monitor multiple forest changes, a fine scale characterization of these ecosystems is needed, and could imply the mapping of specific species, of detailed forest types, and of functional composition ...

Towards a Map of the European Tree Cover based on Sentinel-2 [PDF]
Many areas of science and policy depend on knowledge of the tree cover in Europe. Sentinel-2 is a new (launched in 2015) satellite with a higher spatial resolution compared to previous satellites. In the present study a new algorithm for mapping tree

Self-supervised pre-training enhances change detection in Sentinel-2 imagery [PDF]
While annotated images for change detection using satellite imagery are scarce and costly to obtain, there is a wealth of unlabeled images being generated every day. In order to leverage these data to learn an image representation more adequate for change detection, we explore methods that exploit the temporal consistency of Sentinel-2 times series to ...

Outlier detection at the parcel-level in wheat and rapeseed crops using multispectral and SAR time series [PDF]
This paper studies the detection of anomalous crop development at the parcel-level based on an unsupervised outlier detection technique. The experimental validation is conducted on rapeseed and wheat parcels located in Beauce (France). The proposed methodology consists of four sequential steps: 1) preprocessing of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and ...

Comparison of Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 Data for Estimation of Leaf Area Index in Temperate Forests
With the launch of the Sentinel-2 satellites, a European capacity has been created to ensure continuity of Landsat and SPOT observations. In contrast to previous sensors, Sentinel-2′s multispectral imager (MSI) incorporates three additional ...
