Estimates
•This is an overall schematic of the inputs and outputs of the acreage estimation and mosaic process.
•The mosaic can be performed before the regression estimate, but it is not recommended.  The regression procedure allows for cloud influenced areas on a particular scene to be identified, and removed from consideration.  Adjacent scenes are then considered for inclusion over cloud influenced areas of another scene.
