About

This folder contains the scripts to classify and post-process the Atlantic Forest Biome.

We recommend that you read the Atlantic Forest Biome Appendix of the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD). Link to ATBD

How to use

First, you need to copy these scripts (including those in p04 folder) to your Google Earth Engine (GEE) account.

Pre-processing

Step01: build stable pixels from Colleciton 6 and save a new asset

Step02: export balanced training samples for each region

Step03: export trained samples for each year

Classification

Step04: classify and export classification for each region

Post-processing

Step05: merge classification of each region and apply Gap fill filter to remove NODATA

Step06: spatial filter

Step07a: temporal filter-3year

Step07b: filter regeneration on rare classes

Step07c: stabilizes natural classes

Step08a: temporal filter-4year

Step08b: temporal filter on first and last year

Step08c: temporal filter-5year

Step09a: temporal filter on first and last year on rare classes

Step09b: filter rare classes on the middle years

Step09c: filter minimum areas of transitions

Step09d: apply HAND filter on wetlands

Step09e: remove forest regeneration in forest plantation from Sentinel classification

Step10a: classify Sandbank Vegetation

Step10b: remove forest regeneration on last years on agriculture

Step10c: spatial filter
