  • The aim of the project was to predict less-frequent high quality images from LANDSAT satellite using more frequent but less quality MODIS satellite images for better pest control.
  • Implemented NASA's own data fusion algorithm iFSDAF in Python that would not require QGIS for co-registering images, first attempt of such kind.
  • Also ended up improving the quality of the resulting images, tested over four similarity parameters. The project was in collaboration with agriculture-based clients, aimed to detect pest attacks via periodic imagery.
