Pine and spruce trees are scanned using the multiscan approach in the field, and trees are felled to measure them destructively for the purpose of obtaining reference values. The stem curves are automatically retrieved from laser point clouds, resulting in an accuracy of ~1 cm. The corresponding manual measurements yield similar accuracy but fewer measurements at the upper parts of tree stems, compared with the automated measurements. The stem volumes based on stem curve data and field measurements and the best Finnish national allometric volume equations (using tree species, height, and diameters at heights of 1.3 and 6 m as predictors) result in similar accuracy. The measurement accuracy of the stem curves and stem volumes is similar for both pine and spruce trees. The results of this paper confirm the feasibility of using TLS to produce stem curve data in an automated, accurate and noninvasive way and indicate that the point cloud provides adequate information to accurately derive stem volumes from standing trees. The stem curves and volumes retrieved from point clouds can be employed in various forest management activities, such as the calibration of national or regional allometric curve functions and the prediction of profits in preharvest inventories.

A real-time MODIS vegetation product for land surface and numerical weather prediction models / Jonathan L. Case in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 52 n° 3 (March 2014)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 52 n° 3 (March 2014) . - pp 1772 - 1786 Titre : A real-time MODIS vegetation product for land surface and numerical weather prediction models Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Jonathan L. Case, Auteur ; Frank J. Lafontaine, Auteur ; Jordan R. Bell, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : pp 1772 - 1786 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] Etats-Unis [Termes IGN] image Terra-MODIS [Termes IGN] indice de végétation [Termes IGN] modèle de simulation [Termes IGN] modèle météorologique Résumé : (Auteur) A technique is presented to produce real-time, daily vegetation composites at 0.01° resolution (~1 km) over the Conterminous United States (CONUS) for use in the NASA Land Information System (LIS) and weather prediction models. Green vegetation fraction (GVF) is derived from direct-broadcast swaths of normalized difference vegetation index from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the NASA Earth Observing System satellites. The real-time data and increased resolution compared to the 0.144° (~16 km) resolution monthly GVF climatology in community models result in an improved representation of vegetation in high-resolution models, especially in complex terrain. The MODIS GVF fields show seasonal variations that are similar to the community model climatology, and respond realistically to temperature and precipitation anomalies. The wet spring and summer 2010 over the U.S. Plains led to higher regional GVF than in the climatology. The GVF substantially decreased over the U.S. Southern Plains from 2010 to 2011, consistent with the transition to extreme drought in summer 2011. LIS simulations depict substantial sensitivity to the MODIS GVF, with regional changes in heat fluxes around 100 Wm-2 over the northern U.S. in June 2010. CONUS LIS simulations during the 2010 warm season indicate that the larger MODIS GVF in the western U.S. led to higher latent heat fluxes and initially lower sensible heat fluxes, with a net drying effect on the soil. With time, the drier soil eventually lead to higher mean sensible heat fluxes such that the total surface energy output increased by late summer 2010 over the western U.S. A sensitivity simulation of a severe weather event using real-time MODIS GVF data results in systematic changes to low-level temperature, moisture, and instability fields, and improves the evolution of simulated precipitation.

Vegetation height estimation precision with compact PolInSAR and homogeneous random volume over ground model / Aurélien Arnaubec in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 52 n° 3 (March 2014)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 52 n° 3 (March 2014) . - pp 1879 - 1891 Titre : Vegetation height estimation precision with compact PolInSAR and homogeneous random volume over ground model Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Aurélien Arnaubec, Auteur ; Antoine Roueff, Auteur ; Pascale C. Dubois-Fernandez, Auteur ; Philippe Réfrégier, Auteur Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : pp 1879 - 1891 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image radar et applications [Termes IGN] bande P [Termes IGN] données polarimétriques [Termes IGN] estimation statistique [Termes IGN] hauteur de la végétation [Termes IGN] image radar moirée [Termes IGN] interféromètrie par radar à antenne synthétique [Termes IGN] polarimétrie radar Résumé : (Auteur) Analyzing the precision of vegetation height estimation with compact (i.e., single transmit instead of dual transmit) polarimetric interferometric synthetic aperture radar (PolInSAR) with the homogeneous random volume over ground model can help justify the use of this type of radar rather than using the full PolInSAR. However, since compact PolInSAR provides less information than full PolInSAR, a loss of precision in the vegetation height estimation is expected, which can depend on the single transmit polarization. The adaptation of the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) derived for full PolInSAR in our earlier work to compact PolInSAR measurement provides a general methodology to characterize this loss of precision. Indeed, the CRB is a lower bound of the variance of unbiased estimators that does not depend on the choice of a particular estimation method. We illustrate this methodology for P-band measurements with three synthetic examples chosen for their variability of polarimetric responses. For these examples, it is shown that there can exist a large set of transmit polarizations for which the loss of precision described by the CRB is small (smaller than a factor 2) although there also exist transmit polarizations for which the loss can be large (about a factor 100). This loss of precision is compared with the large dependency of the precision to the vegetation height estimation that can be observed with the vegetation height (more than a factor 100 in the precision described by the CRB) when all the other parameters of the vegetation, ground, and radar system are constant.

Spatial and spectral image fusion using sparse matrix factorization / Bo Huang in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 52 n° 3 (March 2014)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 52 n° 3 (March 2014) . - pp 1693 - 1704 Titre : Spatial and spectral image fusion using sparse matrix factorization Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Bo Huang, Auteur ; Huihui Song, Auteur ; Hengbin Cui, Auteur ; Jigen Peng, Auteur ; Zongben Xu, Auteur Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : pp 1693 - 1704 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] analyse combinatoire (maths) [Termes IGN] apprentissage automatique [Termes IGN] factorisation [Termes IGN] fusion d'images [Termes IGN] image Landsat-ETM+ [Termes IGN] image Terra-MODIS [Termes IGN] matrice creuse [Termes IGN] pouvoir de résolution géométrique [Termes IGN] pouvoir de résolution spectrale Résumé : (Auteur) In this paper, we present a novel spatial and spectral fusion model (SASFM) that uses sparse matrix factorization to fuse remote sensing imagery with different spatial and spectral properties. By combining the spectral information from sensors with low spatial resolution (LSaR) but high spectral resolution (HSeR) (hereafter called HSeR sensors), with the spatial information from sensors with high spatial resolution (HSaR) but low spectral resolution (LSeR) (hereafter called HSaR sensors), the SASFM can generate synthetic remote sensing data with both HSaR and HSeR. Given two reasonable assumptions, the proposed model can integrate the LSaR and HSaR data via two stages. In the first stage, the model learns from the LSaR data a spectral dictionary containing pure signatures, and in the second stage, the desired HSaR and HSeR data are predicted using the learned spectral dictionary and the known HSaR data. The SASFM is tested with both simulated data and actual Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) and Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) acquisitions, and it is also compared to other representative algorithms. The experimental results demonstrate that the SASFM outperforms other algorithms in generating fused imagery with both the well-preserved spectral properties of MODIS and the spatial properties of ETM+. Generated imagery with simultaneous HSaR and HSeR opens new avenues for applications of MODIS and ETM+.

Synthetic images for evaluating topographic correction algorithms / Ion Sola in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 52 n° 3 (March 2014)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 52 n° 3 (March 2014) . - pp 1799 - 1810 Titre : Synthetic images for evaluating topographic correction algorithms Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ion Sola, Auteur ; Maria Gonzalez-Audicana, Auteur ; Jesus Alvarez-Mozos, Auteur ; José Luis Torres, Auteur Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : pp 1799 - 1810 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] correction topographique [Termes IGN] éclairement énergétique [Termes IGN] Espagne [Termes IGN] évaluation [Termes IGN] image de synthèse Résumé : (Auteur) In the last years, many topographic correction (TOC) methods have been proposed to correct the illumination differences between the areas observed by optical remote sensors. Although the available number of TOC methods is high, the evaluation of their performance generally relies on the existence of precise land-cover information, and a standardized and objective evaluation procedure has not been proposed yet. In this paper, we propose an objective procedure to assess the accuracy of these TOC methods on the basis of simulated scenes, i.e., synthetically generated images. These images represent the radiance an optical sensor would receive under specific geometric and temporal acquisition conditions and assuming a certain land-cover type. A simplified method for creating synthetic images using the state-of-the-art irradiance models is proposed, both considering the real topography of a certain area [synthetic real (SR) image] or considering the relief of this area as being completely flat [synthetic horizontal image (SH)]. The comparison between the corrected image obtained by applying a TOC method to the SR and SH images of the same area, allows assessing the performance of each TOC algorithm. This comparison is quantitatively carried out using the structural similarity index. The proposed TOC evaluation procedure is applied to a specific case study in northern Spain to explain its implementation and demonstrate its potential. The procedure proposed in this paper could be also used to assess the behavior of TOC methods operating under different scenarios considering diverse topographic, geometrical, and temporal acquisition configurations.

Benchmarking framework for SAR despeckling / Gerardo Di Martino in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 52 n° 3 (March 2014)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 52 n° 3 (March 2014) . - pp 1596 - 1615 Titre : Benchmarking framework for SAR despeckling Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Gerardo Di Martino, Auteur ; Mariana Poderico, Auteur ; Giovanni Poggi, Auteur ; Danièle Riccio, Auteur ; Luisa Verdoliva, Auteur Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : pp 1596 - 1615 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image radar et applications [Termes IGN] analyse comparative [Termes IGN] contrôle qualité [Termes IGN] filtre de déchatoiement [Termes IGN] image radar moirée [Termes IGN] test de performance Résumé : (Auteur) Objective performance assessment is a key enabling factor for the development of better and better image processing algorithms. In synthetic aperture radar (SAR) despeckling, however, the lack of speckle-free images precludes the use of reliable full-reference measures, leaving the comparison among competing techniques on shaky bases. In this paper, we propose a new framework for the objective (quantitative) assessment of SAR despeckling techniques, based on simulation of SAR images relevant to canonical scenes. Each image is generated using a complete SAR simulator that includes proper physical models for the sensed surface, the scattering, and the radar operational mode. Therefore, in the limits of the simulation models, the employed simulation procedure generates reliable and meaningful SAR images with controllable parameters. Through simulating multiple SAR images as different instances relevant to the same scene we can therefore obtain, a true multilook full-resolution SAR image, with an arbitrary number of looks, thus generating (by definition) the closest object to a clean reference image. Based on this concept, we build a full performance assessment framework by choosing a suitable set of canonical scenes and corresponding objective measures on the SAR images that consider speckle suppression and feature preservation. We test our framework by studying the performance of a representative set of actual despeckling algorithms; we verify that the quantitative indications given by numerical measures are always fully consistent with the rationale specific of each despeckling technique, strongly agrees with qualitative (expert) visual inspections, and provide insight into SAR despeckling approaches.

Water vapor probabilistic retrieval using GNSS signals / Andrea Antonini in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 52 n° 3 (March 2014)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 52 n° 3 (March 2014) . - pp 1892 - 1900 Titre : Water vapor probabilistic retrieval using GNSS signals Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Andrea Antonini, Auteur ; Riccardo Benedetti, Auteur ; Alberto Ortolani, Auteur ; Luca Roavi, Auteur ; Giovanni Schiavon, Auteur Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : pp 1892 - 1900 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] propagation du signal [Termes IGN] signal GPS [Termes IGN] traitement du signal [Termes IGN] vapeur d'eau Résumé : (Auteur) In this paper, we propose a novel Bayesian procedure to update the probability distribution for a set of possible atmospheric states, once ground measures of temperature, pressure, humidity, and tropospheric delay of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are made. It is based on a representative dataset of matching pairs of reanalysis atmospheric states and ground measures. By applying the basic rules of probability theory and logic inference, a computable expression for the conditional probability of the states given the measures is found. This allows us to select the most plausible atmospheric conditions, consistent with ground observations. Compared with more conventional techniques, the proposed approach has the advantage of always giving a result, even if not all the measures are available. Moreover, it provides the probability distributions of the retrieved quantities, which collapse to the corresponding prior distributions in the worst case of no significant measures. In any case, the final uncertainties are fully quantified, as needed for many meteorological applications, including data assimilation and ensemble forecasts for a numerical weather model. In addition to the theoretical details, a practical example of operational application, using a ten-year dataset on a Mediterranean test site, is also presented. The most probable retrieved atmospheric profiles of water vapor and temperature, as well as the corresponding values of precipitable water, are compared with balloon measurements on such a test site, showing good agreement and a significant improvement when the GNSS delay measure is added. In particular, the precipitable water retrieval turns out at least as accurate as that obtained with conventional approaches.
