Assessing methods in fusion and fitting for time series construction in remote sensing-based earth observations by Jia Tang, Virgílio A. Bento, Dalei Hao, Yelu Zeng, Pengcheng Guo, Yu Chen, Qianfeng Wang, Huicong Jia

“…The constructed time-series data reveals that (1) the modified Fit-FC and linear harmonic fitting model achieve excellent performance in constructing high-resolution time-series images; (2) the fusion method outperforms the fitting method in constructing time-series of NDVI and surface reflectance images in cropland-, forest-, and grassland-dominated regions; (3) both methods achieve comparable performance in developed-dominated regions; (4) the fusion method is more robust to missing data, and better captures abrupt phenological transitions under conditions of continuous missing data; (5) the fitting method is computationally more efficient, making it suitable for large-scale time-series image reconstruction. …”
