Before they can be used as reliable inputs for other research, conducting in situ measurements for validation is very critical. However, the spatial heterogeneity due to the diversity of land cover and its spatial organization in the landscape increases the uncertainty of validation, so design of optimal sampling is an important basis for the reliability of the validation. In this paper, we propose an integrative stratified sampling strategy (INTEG-STRAT) based on normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data as prior knowledge. The basic idea is to realize a sampling optimization by determining the optimal combination of the spatial sampling method (e.g., simple random sampling (SRS), spatial system sampling (SYS), stratified sampling, generalized random tessellation stratified (GRTS), balanced acceptance sampling (BAS)) and spatial stratification scheme with an objective rule. The objective rule in this paper is to minimize the root mean square error (RMSE) of 10-fold cross validation between estimated values (sample are not included) and the corresponding values on prior knowledge. Relative precision, correlation coefficient, and RMSE are used to compare the effectiveness of the proposed sampling strategy with each sampling method without considering sampling optimization. After comparing, we find that the INTEG-STRAT requires fewer samples to become stable and has higher accuracy. At site 1, when the correlation coefficient between NDVI image and the simulated NDVI surface reached 80%, INTEG-STRAT needed only 70 sampling points while other methods require more sampling points. At the same time, INTEG-STRAT strategy has a smaller RMSE between the estimated values and the corresponding values on prior knowledge image. In general, INTEG-STRAT is an effective method in the selection of representative samples to support the validation of vegetation indices products with medium and high spatial resolution.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13142674","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,7]],"date-time":"2021-07-07T12:31:25Z","timestamp":1625661085000},"page":"2674","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Remote Sensing-Guided Spatial Sampling Strategy over Heterogeneous Surface Ground for Validation of Vegetation Indices Products with Medium and High Spatial Resolution"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8913-1837","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tingting","family":"Lv","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiang","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8369-4452","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zui","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyu","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center, State Oceanic Administration, Beijing 100081, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9962-9401","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0542-7455","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruoxi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic, Electrical and Communication Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0243-5801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Futai","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic, Electrical and Communication Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3779","DOI":"10.1007\/s11269-020-02630-4","article-title":"Hydrological Response to Agricultural Land Use Heterogeneity Using Variable Infiltration Capacity Model","volume":"34","author":"Srivastava","year":"2020","journal-title":"Water Resour.
