Abstract
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series is used to study different land cover dynamics such as change, compare vegetation dynamics between years and analyze intra-annual components. A nonlinear cosine model of the NDVI time series with a constant frequency is used to account for the time-varying nature of the land cover parameters due to seasonality or change. The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is used to estimate these parameters, which introduces linearization and negatively impacts the state estimation accuracy. This paper proposes using a Particle Filter (PF) for state estimation to better address nonlinearity in the model. The cosine model is modified to capture frequency variations to account for changes in the vegetation growth cycle caused by abrupt phenomenon such as forest fires. PF obtains better state estimates than EKF, capturing the intra-annual components and time-varying frequency of the model accurately.
