This repository contains tools to download, calibrate, and generate change statistics from JAXA's ALOS mosaic product for forest monitoring purposes.
This repository includes tools for the following tasks:
- Downloading ALOS-1 and ALOS-2 data from JAXA.
- Pre-processing (speckle filtering, up/downsampling, reprojection) and calibration (gamma0, AGB) of the ALOS mosaic product for biomass mapping.
- Methods for change detection, including identification of growth, deforestation and degradation.
These tools are written in Python for use in Linux. All libraries used are available within Anaconda Python.
