Potential of functional analysis applied to Sentinel-2 time-series to assess relevant agronomic parameters at the within-field level in viticulture

Résumé

Sentinel-2 satellite imagery offers a wealth of spectral information combined with a weekly temporal resolution. It is seen as a promising tool to extract spatial information about vineyards and link them to agronomic parameters. Usually, only one or a few images are commonly employed at specific stages like veraison in viticulture. Extracting further information from time-series images may be of interest; however, this remains an issue due to the noisy and complex nature of extracted time-series. The functional analysis proposes a robust continuous representation of these time-series, which can then be used with adapted statistical tools. This paper focuses on extracting relevant information at the within-field level on two vineyards in Spain, which can be jointly interpreted with field observations and measurements. More precisely, it discusses the use of popular linear dimensionality reduction techniques, namely Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Square (PLS), adapted to functional data in order to decompose NDVI time-series into a weighted sum of several functional components. The unsupervised methods, like PCA, decomposed the spatial structure within the vineyards using a few components, resulting in a better and more manageable dataset than the one obtained using simple non-constrained methods. The results show significant correlations with ground-truth data showing the added value of considering the whole NDVI temporal series compared to a single NDVI map at veraison. The proposed approach provided helpful information about each component's yearly trend. Moreover, the results are linked to grapevines' seasonal phenology and management practices, highlighting phenomena affecting the vineyard's development. This method is particularly suited for interactions with field experts, who may derive relevant agronomic information from the decomposition maps.
