DESCRIPTION

i.lmf calculates the Local maximum fitting of a temporal image series, intially for vegetation indices, it also works for surface reflectance.

This is a first level port, only a fast fitting is done, see TODO.

The number of bands is potentially several years, nfiles and ndates are respectively the number of pixels and the number of pixels in a year.

TODO

Port the full detailed algorithm from Fortran, and vastly unemcomber/clean it. It will make the algorithm must slower though, gaining only a marginal fitting strength, for my actual experience with VIs curves.
