Description
Proba-V is a satellite mission tasked to map land cover and vegetation growth. It was designed to provide continuity for the VGT optical instrument from the SPOT-4 and SPOT-5 missions.
The sensor collects data in three VNIR (visible and near-infrared) bands and one SWIR (short-wave infrared) spectral band with a 2250km field of view. Global images are produced every 2 days at 300m resolution, and a 100m image from nadir observations every 5 days. These images are later composited to produce this daily synthesis dataset. The description of the compositing and atmospheric correction procedures can be found in the user manual .
The reflectances provided in this dataset are presented as Digital Count Numbers (DN) and must be converted according to the guidelines in Section 4.6.1 of the user manual .
