However, there is no single global radar data set that has a relatively long wavelength and a decades-long time span. We here provide the first long-term (since 1992), high-resolution (∼8.9 km instead of the commonly used ∼25 km resolution) monthly satellite radar backscatter data set over global land areas, called the long-term, high-resolution scatterometer (LHScat) data set, by fusing signals from the European Remote Sensing satellite (ERS; 1992–2001; C-band; 5.3 GHz), Quick Scatterometer (QSCAT, 1999–2009; Ku-band; 13.4 GHz), and the Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT; since 2007; C-band; 5.255 GHz). The 6-year data gap between C-band ERS and ASCAT was filled by modelling a substitute C-band signal during 1999–2009 from Ku-band QSCAT signals and climatic information. To this end, we first rescaled the signals from different sensors, pixel by pixel. We then corrected the monthly signal differences between the C-band and the scaled Ku-band signals by modelling the signal differences from climatic variables (i.e. monthly precipitation, skin temperature, and snow depth) using decision tree regression. The quality of the merged radar signal was assessed by computing the Pearson r, root mean square error (RMSE), and relative RMSE (rRMSE) between the C-band and the corrected Ku-band signals in the overlapping years (1999–2001 and 2007–2009). We obtained high Pearson r values and low RMSE values at both the regional (r≥0.92, RMSE ≤ 0.11 dB, and rRMSE ≤ 0.38) and pixel levels (median r across pixels ≥ 0.64, median RMSE ≤ 0.34 dB, and median rRMSE ≤ 0.88), suggesting high accuracy for the data-merging procedure. The merged radar signals were then validated against the European Space Agency (ESA) ERS-2 data, which provide observations for a subset of global pixels until 2011, even after the failure of on-board gyroscopes in 2001. We found highly concordant monthly dynamics between the merged radar signals and the ESA ERS-2 signals, with regional Pearson r values ranging from 0.79 to 0.98. These results showed that our merged radar data have a consistent C-band signal dynamic. The LHScat data set (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.20407857; Tao et al., 2023) is expected to advance our understanding of the long-term changes in, e.g., global vegetation and soil moisture with a high spatial resolution. The data set will be updated on a regular basis to include the latest images acquired by ASCAT and to include even higher spatial and temporal resolutions.

Point cloud registration for LiDAR and photogrammetric data: A critical synthesis and performance analysis on classic and deep learning algorithms / Ningli Xu in ISPRS Open Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, vol 8 (April 2023)  

Public [article]  inISPRS Open Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing > vol 8 (April 2023) . - n° 100032 Titre : Point cloud registration for LiDAR and photogrammetric data: A critical synthesis and performance analysis on classic and deep learning algorithms Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ningli Xu, Auteur ; Rongjun Qin, Auteur ; Shuang Song, Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 100032 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Lasergrammétrie [Termes IGN] algorithme ICP [Termes IGN] chevauchement [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] processus gaussien [Termes IGN] recalage de données localisées [Termes IGN] semis de points [Termes IGN] superposition de données Résumé : (auteur) Three-dimensional (3D) point cloud registration is a fundamental step for many 3D modeling and mapping applications. Existing approaches are highly disparate in the data source, scene complexity, and application, therefore the current practices in various point cloud registration tasks are still ad-hoc processes. Recent advances in computer vision and deep learning have shown promising performance in estimating rigid/similarity transformation between unregistered point clouds of complex objects and scenes. However, their performances are mostly evaluated using a limited number of datasets from a single sensor (e.g. Kinect or RealSense cameras), lacking a comprehensive overview of their applicability in photogrammetric 3D mapping scenarios. In this work, we provide a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art (SOTA) point cloud registration methods, where we analyze and evaluate these methods using a diverse set of point cloud data from indoor to satellite sources. The quantitative analysis allows for exploring the strengths, applicability, challenges, and future trends of these methods. In contrast to existing analysis works that introduce point cloud registration as a holistic process, our experimental analysis is based on its inherent two-step process to better comprehend these approaches including feature/keypoint-based initial coarse registration and dense fine registration through cloud-to-cloud (C2C) optimization. More than ten methods, including classic hand-crafted, deep-learning-based feature correspondence, and robust C2C methods were tested. We observed that the success rate of most of the algorithms are fewer than 40% over the datasets we tested and there are still are large margin of improvement upon existing algorithms concerning 3D sparse corresopondence search, and the ability to register point clouds with complex geometry and occlusions. With the evaluated statistics on three datasets, we conclude the best-performing methods for each step and provide our recommendations, and outlook future efforts.

A hierarchical multiview registration framework of TLS point clouds based on loop constraint / Hao Wu in ISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing, vol 195 (January 2023)  

Public [article]  inISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing > vol 195 (January 2023) . - pp 65 - 76 Titre : A hierarchical multiview registration framework of TLS point clouds based on loop constraint Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Hao Wu, Auteur ; Li Yan, Auteur ; Hong Xie, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : pp 65 - 76 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Lasergrammétrie [Termes IGN] algorithme ICP [Termes IGN] appariement de points [Termes IGN] approche hiérarchique [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] données localisées 3D [Termes IGN] graphe [Termes IGN] recalage d'image [Termes IGN] semis de points [Termes IGN] superposition de données [Termes IGN] traitement de semis de points Résumé : (auteur) Automatic registration of multiple point clouds is a significant preprocessing step for 3D computer vision tasks including semantic segmentation, 3D modelling, change detection, etc. Many methods were proposed to deal with this problem and yet most of them are not fully utilizing the redundant information offered by multiple common overlaps among point clouds. The existing methods are also inefficient when dealing with large-scale point clouds. In this paper, a novel automatic registration framework is presented to align point clouds efficiently and robustly. First, the overall number of scans is grouped into several scan-blocks by a proposed blocking strategy, and we build the pairwise relationship among scans through a fully connected graph in each scan-block. Second, perform loop-based coarse registration in each scan-block using a proposed false matches removal strategy. The proposed strategy can effectively identify grossly wrong scan-to-scan matches. Third, the minimum spanning tree is extracted from the graph, and ICP is applied along its edges. Moreover, the Lu–Milios algorithm is used to further optimize all poses at once by utilizing all redundant information in each scan-block. Finally, global block-to-block registration aligns all scan-blocks into a uniform coordinate reference. We test our framework on challenging WHU-TLS datasets, ETH datasets, and Robotic 3D Scan datasets to evaluate the efficiency, accuracy, as well as robustness. The experiment results show that our method achieves the state-of-the-art accuracy, while the time performance is improved by more than 30% compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms.

Solid waste mapping based on very high resolution remote sensing imagery and a novel deep learning approach / Bowen Niu in Geocarto international, vol 38 n° 1 ([01/01/2023])  

Public [article]  inGeocarto international > vol 38 n° 1 [01/01/2023] . - n° 2164361 Titre : Solid waste mapping based on very high resolution remote sensing imagery and a novel deep learning approach Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Bowen Niu, Auteur ; Quanlong Feng, Auteur ; Jianyu Yang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 2164361 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] cartographie thématique [Termes IGN] Chine [Termes IGN] classification par réseau neuronal convolutif [Termes IGN] contour [Termes IGN] déchet [Termes IGN] fusion de données [Termes IGN] image à très haute résolution [Termes IGN] Inde [Termes IGN] Mexique [Termes IGN] urbanisation Résumé : (auteur) The urbanization worldwide leads to the rapid increase of solid waste, posing a threat to environment and people’s wellbeing. However, it is challenging to detect solid waste sites with high accuracy due to complex landscape, and very few studies considered solid waste mapping across multi-cities and in large areas. To tackle this issue, this study proposes a novel deep learning model for solid waste mapping from very high resolution remote sensing imagery. By integrating a multi-scale dilated convolutional neural network (CNN) and a Swin-Transformer, both local and global features are aggregated. Experiments in China, India and Mexico indicate that the proposed model achieves high performance with an average accuracy of 90.62%. The novelty lies in the fusion of CNN and Transformer for solid waste mapping in multi-cities without the need for pixel-wise labelled data. Future work would consider more sophisticated methods such as semantic segmentation for fine-grained solid waste classification.

Automatic registration method of multi-source point clouds based on building facades matching in urban scenes / Yumin Tan in Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, PERS, vol 88 n° 12 (December 2022)

However, the fusion of these multisource data is still challenging, in which registration is one of the most important stages. In this paper, we propose a method of coarse point cloud registration which consists of two steps. The first step is to extract urban building facades in both an oblique photogrammetric point cloud and a lidar point cloud. The second step is to align the two point clouds using the extracted building facades. Object Vicinity Distribution Feature (Dijkman and Van Den Heuvel 2002) is introduced to describe the distribution of building facades and register the two heterologous point clouds. This method provides a good initial state for later refined registration process and is translation, rotation, and scale invariant. Experiment results show that the accuracy of this proposed automatic registration method is equiva- lent to the accuracy of manual registration with control points.
