NAME¶

pkkalman - kalman raster images: median, min/max, morphological, kalmaning

SYNOPSIS¶

pkkalman
[options]

DESCRIPTION¶

pkkalman will complement a time series of observations (option -obs) at fine spatial resolution. A data assimilation technique based on a Kalman filter is hereby used. The data at fine spatial resolution are assimilated with coarse spatial resolution time series at a finer temporal resolution, referred to as a model (option -mod). The time series for both observation and model can either be provided as multi-band raster datasets or as multiple single band datasets. Missing data in the observations are predicted by the algorithm. The model must cover at least the spatial coverage of the observation. The missing data must be provided either as nodata values in the input (using option -obsnodata) or as an external mask (using option -obsmask). The time sequence for the model and observation should be provided via the options -tmod and -tobs. Tuning parameters for the algorithm are process noise (option -q) and the weights for uncertainty of valid observations (-uo) and the model (-um).

OPTIONS¶

-dir forward|backward|smooth, --direction forward|backward|smooth

direction to run model (forward|backward|smooth)

-mod filename, --model filename

coarse spatial resolution input datasets(s) used as model. Use either multi-band input (-model multiband_model.tif) or multiple single-band inputs (-mod model1 -mod model2 etc.)

-modmask filename, --modmask filename

model mask datasets(s). Must have same dimension as model input. Use either multi-band input or multiple single-band inputs

-obs filename, --observation filename

fine spatial resolution input dataset(s) used as observation. Use either multi-band input (-obs multiband_obs.tif) or multiple single-band inputs (-obs obs1 -obs obs2 etc.)

-obsmask filename, --obsmask filename

observation mask dataset(s). Must have same dimension as observation input (use multi-band input or multiple single-band inputs)

-tmod number, --tmodel number

time sequence of model input. Sequence must have exact same length as model input. Leave empty to have default sequence 0,1,2,etc.
