Objective Time series can be modulated with a triply modulated cosine function [1]. [1] W. Kleynhans et. al, 'Improving land cover class separation using an extended Kalman filter on MODIS NDVI time-series data', IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, vol. 6, no. 4. April 2010
Objective Parameters of a triply modulated cosine can be used to distinguish between several different land cover classes. Parameters derived using a EKF framework has been proven as a feasible solution. Introduce a meta-optimization approach for setting the parameters of a Extended Kalman filter to rapidly estimate better features for a triply modulated cosine function.
