sits_whittaker: Filter time series with whittaker filter

In sits: Satellite Image Time Series Analysis for Earth Observation Data Cubes

Filter time series with whittaker filter

Description

The algorithm searches for an optimal warping polynomial. The degree of smoothing depends on smoothing factor lambda (usually from 0.5 to 10.0). Use lambda = 0.5 for very slight smoothing and lambda = 5.0 for strong smoothing.

Usage

sits_whittaker(data = NULL, lambda = 0.5)

Arguments

data	Time series or matrix.
lambda	Smoothing factor to be applied (default 0.5).

Value

Filtered time series

Examples

if (sits_run_examples()) {
    # Retrieve a time series with values of NDVI
    point_ndvi <- sits_select(point_mt_6bands, bands = "NDVI")
    # Filter the point using the Whittaker smoother
    point_whit <- sits_filter(point_ndvi, sits_whittaker(lambda = 3.0))
    # Merge time series
    point_ndvi <- sits_merge(point_ndvi, point_whit,
                            suffix = c("", ".WHIT"))
    # Plot the two points to see the smoothing effect
    plot(point_ndvi)
}
