Description
Phenology metrics outputs (e.g., SOS, POS, EOS) may not be for every single pixel identified. Usually, that is the case when no pronounced phenology curve is detected during a year, e.g., for ever-green vegetation, or when the pixel is dominated by a non-vegetated surface. Hence, when the temporal profile does not fulfill the requirements of identifying a clear growth curve (increase and decrease over time), no SOS, PEOS, and EOS will be identified which will lead to empty output pixels. As a result, the output map will lead to a speckled appearance. While for non-vegetated surfaces no phenology metrics will be derived, failed detection can also occur for pixels within-fields when the phenology curve is not sufficiently pronounced.
Hence, a speckled appearance may appear that would benefit from post-processing. For those situations, a solution may be to apply a spatial interpolation. Spatial interpolation can be simply classical interpolators, i.e.: linear, nearest neighbour, natural, or cubic interpolation. As such, it will lead to a spatially smooth, filled map, however, note that it is a cosmetic solution, and the filled numbers may not necessarily reflect reality.
