Many thanks for providing Sentinel-1 (S1) products.

Could you provide a list or a link to available layers for Sentinel-1. For example there is the True_Color layer defined:

return [VV, 2 * VH, VV / VH / 100.0]

Are there more pre-defined layers for targeting different issues like for example vegetation monitoring?

Thanks Matej for your quick reply.

I found a publication where the authors probably used some S-1 layers for vegetation classification: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9781119457107.ch6

However, I do not have access to it. In case you have, one will maybe find the potential layers they used.


Hi Anja,

this visualization was taken from EO Browser and apart from those few visualizations I don’t think we have anything else.

We actually have a collection of custom scripts. However so far there are only scripts for Sentinel-2, Landsat 8 and MODIS.

We would be happy to extend the collection to Sentinel-1 as well. So if anyone knows any good source, please let us know.

Best regards,
Matej


I do not have access to the paper, but I am guessing this was done using some kind of machine learning method (e.g. random forest) to map various SAR signals (multi-temporal) to training sets. I’ve seen such approach working in many occasions, but it needs to be customized to specific region.
