Downscaling MODIS Surface Reflectance to Improve Water Body Extraction by Xianghong Che, Min Feng, Hao Jiang, Jia Song, Bei Jia

“…Although MODIS provides two bands at 250 m resolution, accurately deriving water area always depends on observations from the spectral bands with 500 m resolution, which limits its discrimination ability over small lakes and rivers. The paper presents an automated method for downscaling the 500 m MODIS surface reflectance (SR) to 250 m to improve the spatial discrimination of water body extraction. …”
