Sentinel-2 fCover

Hi,

we do no have a custom script for fCOVER (yet).
If you decide to implement it, we would be happy to help and would encourage you to then share it 🙂

There are other existing scripts, which also implement NN algorithms (although I am not really familiar with fCOVER algorithm) and can thus be helpful:

• lai
• cab
• ccc

Best

To the interested reader: after almost a one-year delay, this stuff is finally officially integrated in the custom-scripts library 😅

A repository of custom scripts to be used with Sentinel Hub

Hi,

nice!

I’ve checked quickly and it looks good. At least from the technical view, I would not dare to interpret the results. The only thing I had to add to the script was “//VERSION=2” in the first line.

When you are happy with the script you can add it our github repository yourself https://github.com/sentinel-hub/custom-scripts (instructions: https://github.com/sentinel-hub/custom-scripts/tree/master/example) or, if you do not want to bother with this, let me know and we will push it to the repository.

P.S.: I have heard rumors that Sentinel Hub custom scripts contest, edition 2 will start soon. A script like this can take you far 🙂

Hi,

Ok so the fCOVER algorithm is actually very similar to the fAPAR one, implemented in the same SNAP biopar toolbox. It’s based on INRA’s neural network. So I took the fAPAR algorithm and updated all biases, weights and normalization scales, and at first sight it looks already quite good, though it would be good if you could give it a try in a custom layer as well, to verify empirically if this gives realistic results. fCOVER is also supposed to be between 0 and 1.
As soon as we decide this is useful, it would be great to share it as a custom script for everyone to use 🙂

Wow. That was fast. Thank you again!

Wow that’s bad! Apologies, that shouldn’t have happened. I opened a new PR with the correct version. Please double-check that I did it right this time. This whole process was my first experience with forking and creating PRs, so it’s a learning curve 😉

Hi,

It looks like that custom script for FAPAR was committed to custom script GitHub repo instead of fCover: https://github.com/sentinel-hub/custom-scripts/blob/master/sentinel-2/fcover/script.js.

Could you check and commit the correct version? If the fCover script posted above is up-to-date, I can do it as well, if you wish.

Thanks,
