Thoughts Sentinel-2 banding/striping artifacts over water
Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2021 4:24 pm
Hi all,
There is a well-known occurrence in Sentinel-2 (S2) imagery in which striping artifacts appear over water. I've read that this striping is an expected occurrence or side-effect due to the arrangement of the S2's detectors and could also depend on season, water conditions, atmospheric conditions, tile location on the swath, as well as orientation of the satellite in relation to the earth/sun (azimuth, zenith, elevation angles).
I've attached some results which these striping effects appear.
Has anyone thought to use acolite to address these artifacts? Is this possible? Alternatively, has there been any discussion about how to programmatically predict/detect such occurrences based on a set of factors/parameters?
I browsed the forum before posting this, and did not see any discussion on this topic. Apologies if it has been covered before.
Thank you.
