  1. Vegetation Index Focus Area Tomoaki Miura & Else Swinnen Activity Summary and Strategic Plan for 2019-2021 CEOS LPV Plenary Meeting, Milan, Italy(Living Planet Symposium 2019)

  2. Two Vegetation Index Focus Area Workshops 1st Workshop: • VI & LSP WorkshopFort Collins, CO, USA, 9-10 November 2016 2nd Workshop: • VI WorkshopWashington, D.C., USA, 12 December 2018 CEOS LPV Plenary Meeting, Milan, Italy (Living Planet Symposium 2019)

  3. Recommendations Established at the Workshops • CEOS recommends that the validation document of a VI product include: • Product QA information • Uncertainty information obtained via validation (NIST-traceability) • Product inter-comparison results CEOS LPV Plenary Meeting, Milan, Italy (Living Planet Symposium 2019)

  4. Recommendations Established at the Workshops • CEOS identifies three components of VI validation: • Uncertainty of VIs in their units (e.g., DNDVI) • VI sensitivity to vegetation biophysical/physiological conditions (e.g., LSP, GPP, LAI) • Long-term stability information of VI time series data • Recommended validation data sources (systematic-opportunistic): • AERONET-based surface reflectance data • NEON airborne hyperspectral data • Drone-observational reflectance data • Near-surface remote sensing data: PhenoCam • Field spectrometer time series data: PEN • NPN phenology data • FLUXNET data • Time-lapse digital imagery: PhenoCam, Phenological Eyes Network (PEN) • High resolution satellite data, given that they are validated against ground measurements Adopted the “time series validation” approach as a standard VI validation methodology where validation focuses on validating the quality of VI time series data as to how well VI products capture seasonal evolution of vegetation CEOS LPV Plenary Meeting, Milan, Italy (Living Planet Symposium 2019)

  5. Recommendations Discussed at the Workshops • Discussed that the focus of product inter-comparison was to characterize the differences and their spatial and temporal distribution • Suggested measures • Product completeness • Spatial consistency • Statistical consistency • Temporal consistency • Statistical metrics discussed included: • RMSD (split into its systematic and unsystematic components) • Mean Bias Error, Mean Absolute Error • Precision or repeatability CEOS LPV Plenary Meeting, Milan, Italy (Living Planet Symposium 2019)

  6. Strategic Plan for 2019-2021 • Main Goal: generate the first draft of the VI best validation practices document
