Quantitative Relationship Between PIF Pixel Values On Multi-Temporal MODIS Images

The Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) has provided finer time resolution data and spectral resolution. These data are useful for long-term monitoring of the surface of the Earth. However, remotely sensed data is usually affected by some temporal factors. The induced inconsistency weakens the reliability of satellite-based change studies. For reliable change detection applications, these temporal factor-induced changes must be clarified in theory. This study examined the quantitative relationship between pixel values of pseudo-invariant features (PIFs) across time, and clarified temporal factor-induced influences on MODIS data.
