Time-consistent estimation of LAI by assimilation in GreenLab plant growth model

This paper is concerned with the recovery of Leaf Area Index (LAI) time series in intense agriculture areas from moderate resolution remote sensing data (MODIS or SENTINEL). Although their resolution limits an analysis at a parcel level, their high temporal rate enables to monitor land use/land cover through the temporal evolution of key biophysical parameters as LAI. However in practice, frame-by-frame estimation is unsatisfactory since the...
