The purpose of this chapter is to provide necessary context and demonstrate different approaches for image composite generation when using data quality flags, using an initial example of removing cloud cover. We will examine different filtering options, demonstrate an approach for cloud masking, and provide additional opportunities for image composite development. Pixel selection for composite development can exclude unwanted pixels-such as those impacted by cloud, shadow, and smoke or haze-and can also preferentially select pixels based upon proximity to a target date or a preferred sensor type.

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to provide necessary context and demonstrate different approaches for image composite generation when using data quality flags, using an initial example of removing cloud cover. We will examine different filtering options, demonstrate an approach for cloud masking, and provide additional opportunities for image composite development. Pixel selection for composite development can exclude unwanted pixels-such as those impacted by cloud, shadow, and smoke or haze-and can also preferentially select pixels based upon proximity to a target date or a preferred sensor type.
