Development of A Pixel Segmentation Method for Enhanced Accuracy Assessment of Moisture Content and Evapotranspiration using Satellite Data and Field Measurements

Soil moisture (MC) and evapotranspiration (ET) are considered as the most significant boundary conditions controlling most of the hydrological cycle's processes especially over humid areas. However, monitoring them continuously over large areas using the high temporal-resolution optical sate...
