Description
Gaussian processes (GPs) have experienced tremendous success in biogeophysical parameter retrieval in the last few years. GPs constitute a solid Bayesian framework to consistently formulate many function approximation problems. This article reviews the main theoretical GP developments in the field, considering new algorithms that respect signal and noise characteristics, extract knowledge via automatic relevance kernels to yield feature rankings automatically, and allow applicability of associated uncertainty intervals to transport GP models in space and time that can be used to uncover causal relations between variables and can encode physically meaningful prior knowledge via radiative transfer model (RTM) emulation. The important issue of computational efficiency will also be addressed. These developments are illustrated in the field of geosciences and remote sensing at local and global scales through …
