Abstract

Multi-temporal and multi-sensor solutions are essential to increase timeliness and reliability of land monitoring systems. This paper advocates the exploitation of the temporal contextual information provided by temporally dense SAR and optical data series series through the use of a Hidden Markov model (HMM)-based approach. An efficient strategy to incorporate the C-Band SAR data into the HMM framework, relying so far on Landsat, will be debated and assessed over a dynamic agricultural scenario, i.e. characterized by high temporal and spatial diversity in cropping practices. The site is located in the state of São Paulo (Brazil), where recent ground surveying activities has been conducted.
