Author:Kleynhans, W; Olivier JC; Wessels, Konrad J; Van Den Bergh F; Salmon BP; Steenkamp Karen CDate:15 Dec 2009It is proposed that the NDVI time-series derived from MODIS satellite data can be modelled as a triply (mean, phase and amplitude) modulated cosine function. Secondly, a non-linear Extended Kalman Filter is developed to estimate the parameters ...Read more
