Abstract:

To establish a long-term normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data set with the FY-3 series of Chinese meteorological satellites, four filtering and function fitting methods were used to quantitatively analyze the results from reconstructed data on seven types of ground features including forest land, wetland, waterbody, urban, rice, soybean, and corn.Determination for the best data reconstruction method and spatial-temporal variation analysis on the vegetation indices in Liaoning Province was further conducted.The four methods including Asymmetric Gaussian function (AG), Savitzky-Golay filtering (SG), Double Logistic function (DL), and Harmonic Analysis of Time Series (HANTS) show more effective denoising abilities.The SG method was more sensitive to noise overall, whereas the HANTS method was highly affected by noise in the low-value areas.The AG and DL methods had better smoothing effects, while the peak value of the DL method was closer to the original peak value.In areas with high vegetation coverage and seasonal crops, the SG method had the highest correlation coefficients (>0.93) and the lowest root mean square errors (< 0.1).In areas with a low vegetation index, such as cities and water bodies, the HANTS method had the highest correlation coefficient of 0.87, but the root mean square errors of all four methods were around 0.06 with little discrepancies.Considering the curve and quantitative analysis comprehensively, the SG method was selected to reconstruct the vegetation index data set of Liaoning Province.The spatial variations of vegetation indices were consistent with the vegetation types of the underlying surface.The vegetation indices of forest land in the eastern mountainous areas were the highest with values of over 0.75.During 2009-2020, the annual average NDVI values in Liaoning Province experience fluctuation, and there were differences among the variations of vegetation indices for different ground features.The variations for water bodies and cities were relatively small, whereas those of the dry field crops (e.g.maize and soybeans) were a bit larger due to the influence of drought years.The vegetation indices of the main grain crops in Liaoning Province appeared a single-peak variation throughout each year, reflecting the one-year cooked pattern, and reached the maximum value in August.
