Separating the influence of vegetation changes in polarimetric differential SAR interferometry / Virginia Brancato in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 56 n° 12 (December 2018)

The separation, the modeling of these influences besides their uncoupling from the displacement signal, and the atmospheric disturbances are still unsolved issues for several repeat-pass interferometric applications. This paper focuses on the separation of vegetation changes from the other phase contributions affecting repeat-pass measurements over vegetated areas. These phase terms mainly relate to changes in soil moisture, atmospheric delays, and surface deformation. The separation is achieved with a first-order scattering solution decomposing the observed HH and VV DInSAR phases in the sum of several phase terms. The latter mainly consider the changes in soil surface scattering and in the two-way propagation through a vertically oriented vegetation canopy. No assumption is made on the spatiotemporal evolution of the displacement and atmosphere. The overall approach is tested on a L-band data set acquired over an agricultural area. Upon calibration, the model allows for estimating changes in wet biomass based on the nonzero HH–VV DInSAR phase difference observed over several birefringent agricultural fields. The obtained biomass estimates provide then a correction for the effect of vegetation changes on the observed HH and VV DInSAR phases. Deprived of the vegetation contribution, the remainder phase terms can be more easily explored for further analyses, e.g., the estimation of soil moisture changes and/or surface movements in vertically oriented vegetated areas.

The innovative contribution of the proposed method is that it is able to naturally combine multilayer feature maps, obtained by pretrained convolutional neural network (CNN) models. Specifically, the proposed MSCP-based classification framework consists of the following three steps. First, a pretrained CNN model is used to extract multilayer feature maps. Then, the feature maps are stacked together, and a covariance matrix is calculated for the stacked features. Each entry of the resulting covariance matrix stands for the covariance of two different feature maps, which provides a natural and innovative way to exploit the complementary information provided by feature maps coming from different layers. Finally, the extracted covariance matrices are used as features for classification by a support vector machine. The experimental results, conducted on three challenging data sets, demonstrate that the proposed MSCP method can not only consistently outperform the corresponding single-layer model but also achieve better classification performance than other pretrained CNN-based scene classification methods.

Atmospheric artifacts correction with a covariance-weighted linear model over mountainous regions / Zhongbo Hu in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 56 n° 12 (December 2018)

Recently, many publications have studied correcting the stratified tropospheric phase delay by assuming a linear model between them and the topography. However, most of these studies have not considered the effect of turbulent atmospheric artifacts when adjusting the linear model to data. In this paper, we present an improved technique that minimizes the influence of the turbulent atmosphere in the model adjustment. In the proposed algorithm, the model is adjusted to the phase differences of pixels instead of using the unwrapped phase of each pixel. In addition, the different phase differences are weighted as a function of its atmospheric phase screen covariance estimated from an empirical variogram to reduce, in the model adjustment, the impact of pixel pairs with a significant turbulent atmosphere. The good performance of the proposed method has been validated with both the simulated and real Sentinel-1A SAR data in the mountainous area of Tenerife island, Spain.

Robust vehicle detection in aerial images using bag-of-words and orientation aware scanning / Hailing Zhou in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 56 n° 12 (December 2018)

Variations in satellite and/or UAV data make it particularly challenging to have a robust method that works properly on a variety of images. A solution based on the bag-of-words (BoW) model is explored in this paper due to its invariance characteristic and highly stable performance in object/scene categorization. Different from categorization tasks, vehicle detection needs to localize the positions of cars in images. To make BoW suitable for this purpose, we extensively improve the methodology in three aspects, namely, by introducing a recently proposed feature representation, i.e., the local steering kernel descriptor, adding spatial structure constraints, and developing an orientation aware scanning mechanism to produce detection with “one-window-one-car” results. Experiments are conducted on various aerial images with large variations, which consist of data from two public databases, e.g., the Overhead Imagery Research Data Set and Vehicle Detection in Aerial Imagery, as well as other satellite and UAV images. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method. Compared with existing techniques, the proposed method is applicable to a wider range of aerial images.

Polarimetric radar vegetation index for biomass estimation in desert fringe ecosystems / Jisung Geba Chang in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 56 n° 12 (December 2018)

First, we conducted an empirical assessment of single and multiple regressions between polarized backscattering coefficients and shrubland biomass distribution along the climatic gradient between semiarid and arid regions. We then found that the PALSAR L-band HV-polarized backscattering coefficient has higher biomass information content than Sentinel-1 C-band data. Based on a theoretical volume scattering model and a semiempirical model, we propose a new polarimetric radar vegetation index (PRVI) that utilizes the degree of polarization and the cross-polarized backscattering coefficient. The relationship between the new index and the biomass was assessed with reference to normalized difference vegetation index-based biomass estimates calculated using Landsat imagery. The PRVI was found to have higher correlation with biomass compared with other radar polarization parameters, in general, and an existing radar vegetation index (RVI), in particular. Assessment of PRVI-based biomass predictions compared with allometric data extracted from air photographs, Lidar, and field data for 67 sites across the desert fringe zone indicated moderate performance with an RMSE of 0.329 kg/m 2 , while an RVI-based biomass estimation had an RMSE of 0.439 kg/m².

Scene classification based on multiscale convolutional neural network / Yanfei Liu in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 56 n° 12 (December 2018)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 56 n° 12 (December 2018) . - pp 7109 - 7121 Titre : Scene classification based on multiscale convolutional neural network Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Yanfei Liu, Auteur ; Yanfei Zhong, Auteur ; Qianqing Qin, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp 7109 - 7121 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image [Termes IGN] apprentissage automatique [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] classification par réseau neuronal convolutif [Termes IGN] extraction de traits caractéristiques [Termes IGN] image à haute résolution [Termes IGN] image aérienne [Termes IGN] image multidimensionnelle [Termes IGN] image satellite [Termes IGN] mesure de similitude [Termes IGN] modèle orienté objet Résumé : (auteur) With the large amount of high-spatial resolution images now available, scene classification aimed at obtaining high-level semantic concepts has drawn great attention. The convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which are typical deep learning methods, have widely been studied to automatically learn features for the images for scene classification. However, scene classification based on CNNs is still difficult due to the scale variation of the objects in remote sensing imagery. In this paper, a multiscale CNN (MCNN) framework is proposed to solve the problem. In MCNN, a network structure containing dual branches of a fixed-scale net (F-net) and a varied-scale net (V-net) is constructed and the parameters are shared by the F-net and V-net. The images and their rescaled images are fed into the F-net and V-net, respectively, allowing us to simultaneously train the shared network weights on multiscale images. Furthermore, to ensure that the features extracted from MCNN are scale invariant, a similarity measure layer is added to MCNN, which forces the two feature vectors extracted from the image and its corresponding rescaled image to be as close as possible in the training phase. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we compared the results obtained using three widely used remote sensing data sets: the UC Merced data set, the aerial image data set, and the google data set of SIRI-WHU. The results confirm that the proposed method performs significantly better than the other state-of-the-art scene classification methods.

It is known that surface tilted in azimuth direction and buildings not aligned in the along-track direction induce polarization orientation shifts. Earlier research has established orientation angle as a function of radar imaging geometry and surface slopes, and that POA estimation can be derived from polarimetric radar data using circular polarization. Besides these, polarimetric scattering from steep slopes and its relation to POA remain not well understood. In this paper, we address these issues by adopting a tilted surface model based on Bragg scattering. We have found that, as the azimuthal slope increases, |VV| decreases at a faster rate than |HH|, they become equal, when POA is ±45°, and |HH| > |VV| afterward. In other words, the Pauli component, |HH-VV| reduced to zero at POA = ± 45°, and the typical Bragg scattering characteristics of |VV| > |HH| does not apply when steep slope is present inducing |POA| > 45°. Furthermore, the cross-pol |HV| does not always increase with azimuth slope but also reaches a maximum then decreases to zero. In addition, we investigate the effect of soil moisture on polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) scattering characteristics of steep terrain and the effect of vegetation over surface on POA estimation. The latter is demonstrated with NASA/JPL TOPSAR L-band PolSAR data and C-band InSAR data. Another significance of this paper is that it provides a direct and rigorous derivation of POA equations. The earlier version was derived from a different concept.

Automatic building rooftop extraction from aerial images via hierarchical RGB-D priors / Shibiao Xu in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 56 n° 12 (December 2018)

Owing to the varying appearance and large-scale range of scene objects, especially for building rooftops in different scales and heights, single-scale or individual prior-based extraction technique is insufficient in pursuing efficient, generic, and accurate extraction results. The trend toward integrating multiscale or several cue techniques appears to be the best way; thus, such integration is the focus of this paper. We first propose a novel salient rooftop detector integrating four correlative RGB-D priors (depth cue, uniqueness prior, shape prior, and transition surface prior) for improved rooftop extraction to address the preceding complex issues mentioned. Then, these correlative cues are computed from image layers created by our multilevel segmentation and further fused into the state-of-the-art high-order conditional random field (CRF) framework to locate the rooftop. Finally, an iterative optimization strategy is applied for high-quality solving, which can robustly handle varying appearance of building rooftops. Performance evaluations in the SZTAKI-INRIA benchmark data sets show that our method outperforms the traditional color-based algorithm and the original high-order CRF algorithm and its variants. The proposed algorithm is also evaluated and found to produce consistently satisfactory results for various large-scale, real-world data sets.
