Abstract

One of passive sensor’s limitations is its high sensitivity to weather condition during image acquiring process. Consequently, the image is often affected by cloud cover. This phenomenon severely influences the completeness of land use/cover obtained from optical satellite imagery and make image processing more complicatedly. However, the pattern of pixel values based on the season and weather changes determined from substantial remote sensing data within a region can help to reconstruct the imagery data which was missed due to the presence of clouds. Taking advantage of datasets containing a substantial amount of multitemporal images, this study proposed a method to reconstruct missed imagery data caused by cloud cover based on relationship between air temperature, humidity, visibility, rainfall, normalized difference vegetation index, direct solar radiation, diffuse solar radiation, reflected radiation and spectral radiance of each pixel obtained by Beyesian Neural Network. The proposed method was applied to generate a cloud-free Landsat image. The results showed that pixels generated by the proposed algorithm are very similar to the actual pixels, especially in non-change area with percentage of correlation coefficients (R) over 0.99 is approximate to 91%. However, the similarity reduced in areas which changed significantly over time period, with the percentages of R over 0.99 are about 78%.
