Description

I am currently trying to generate NDVI signals through the CropSAR_px process in OpenEO.

My area of interest is the Kibale National Park, Uganda. It is a highly clouded area, and the SCL mask often misses entire patches of cloud, as you can see in the following examples that I found while investigating the clouds in the zone.

incomplete_scl_example_2
incomplete_scl_example_3
incomplete_scl_example_1

The average NDVI in the bounds (30.36237326201062, 0.2245859481573243, 30.382159199064937, 0.3745267195130956) for the temporal extent ['2021-01-01', '2022-12-31'] gave me the following result:

cropsar_px_ndvi

This is the NDVI of two years in a region that has two growing seasons per year. The four cycles can bee perceived, although there are sudden NDVI drops present that impact the quality of the curve, I highly suspect that this is due to the undetected clouds in the SCL mask.

Would it be possible to add an optional custom cloud mask in the CropSAR_px process?
