This study evaluated the impact of input image pairs on the fusion accuracy for different temporal variation patterns of time series images and proposed optimal selection strategies for different situations.
Dense time series of remote sensing images with high spatio-temporal resolution are critical for monitoring land surface dynamics in heterogeneous landscapes. Spatio-temporal fusion is an effective solution to obtaining such time series images. Many spatio-temporal fusion methods have been developed for producing high spatial resolution images at frequent intervals by blending fine spatial images and coarse spatial resolution images. Previous studies have revealed that the accuracy of fused images depends not only on the fusion algorithm, but also on the input image pairs being used. However, the impact of input images dates on the fusion accuracy for time series with different temporal variation patterns remains unknown. In this paper, the impact of input image pairs on the fusion accuracy for monotonic linear change (MLC), monotonic non-linear change (MNLC), and non-monotonic change (NMC) time periods were evaluated, respectively, and the optimal selection strategies of input image dates for different situations were proposed. The 16-day composited NDVI time series (i.e., Collection 6 MODIS NDVI product) were used to present the temporal variation patterns of land surfaces in the study areas. To obtain sufficient observation dates to evaluate the impact of input image pairs on the spatio-temporal fusion accuracy, we utilized the Harmonized Landsat-8 Sentinel-2 (HLS) data. The ESTARFM was selected as the spatio-temporal fusion method for this study. The results show that the impact of input image date on the accuracy of spatio-temporal fusion varies with the temporal variation patterns of the time periods being fused. For the MLC period, the fusion accuracy at the prediction date (PD) is linearly correlated to the time interval between the change date (CD) of the input image and the PD, but the impact of the input image date on the fusion accuracy at the PD is not very significant. For the MNLC period, the fusion accuracy at the PD is non-linearly correlated to the time interval between the CD and the PD, the impact of the time interval between the CD and the PD on the fusion accuracy is more significant for the MNLC than for the MLC periods. Given the similar change of time intervals between the CD and the PD, the increments of R-2 of fusion result for the MNLC is over ten times larger than those for the MLC. For the NMC period, a shorter time interval between the CD and the PD does not lead to higher fusion accuracies. On the contrary, it may lower the fusion accuracy. This study suggests that temporal variation patterns of the data must be taken into account when selecting optimal dates of input images in the fusion model.
