The data set has two forms of image data: TIF files and ASCII files. Both of them contains same information.
I use QGIS to load the TIF files for visualization and JMP to load the ASCII files for stacking data.
Noise Data Filtering
There are totally 12 TIF files. I load them into QGIS and mapped B3, B2 and B1 to RGB and generate the "true-color" images as below.
When looking at these "true-color" images, there are three images in which the preserve area cannot be seen clearly due to the clouds.
These three images are taken on 2014-11-28, 2015-11-15 and 2016-03-06.
As the clouds have covered more than 90% of the area in these images, I think they are meaningless to my further analysis.
Hence, I take the three images as noise data and they should be filtered out.
Besides, among the remaining nine images, I noticed that the image which was taken on 2016-09-06 is a little different from the others.
In the other eight images, there are many bad pixels in the right bottom corner due to sensor failure or electronic noise.
Compared to others, the image taken on 2016-09-06 is much more clear. It is a good choice to locate the position of the Boonsong Lake in the preserve.
