The increasing performance of cameras equipped in smartphones opens new opportunities for extensive FVC measurement through citizen science initiatives. However, the wide field of view (FOV) of smartphone cameras constitutes a key source of uncertainty in the estimation of vegetation parameters, which has been largely ignored. We designed a practical method to characterize the FOV of smartphones and improve the FVC estimation. The method was assessed in a mountainous forest based on the comparison with in situ fisheye photographs. After the FOV correction, the agreement of smart-phone and fisheye FVC estimates highly improved: root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 0.103 compared to 0.242 of the original smartphone FVC estimates without considering the FOV effect, mean difference of 0.074 versus 0.213, and coefficient of determination R 2 of 0.719 versus 0.353. Smartphone cameras outperform traditional fisheye cameras: the overexposure and low vertical resolution of fisheye photographs introduced uncertainties in FVCestimation while the insensitivity to exposure and high spatial resolution of smartphone cameras make photograph acquisition and analysis more automatic and accurate. The smartphone FVCestimates highly agree with the GF-1 satellite product: RMSE = 0.066, bias = 0.007, and R 2 = 0.745. This study opens new perspectives for the validation of satellite products.

Path length correction for improving leaf area index measurements over sloping terrains: A deep analysis through computer simulation / Gaofei Yin in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 58 n° 7 (July 2020)

Path length correction (PLC) is commonly used to mitigate the topographic effect on the LAI measurements. However, the terrain-induced uncertainty and the accuracy improvement of the PLC for LAI measurements have not been systematically analyzed, hindering the establishment of an appropriate protocol for LAI measurements over mountainous regions. In this article, the above knowledge gap was filled using a computer simulation framework, which enables the estimated LAI before and after PLC to be benchmarked against the known and precise model truth. The simulation was achieved by using CANOPIX software and a dedicatedly designed ray-tracing method for continuous and discrete canopies, respectively. Simulations show that the slope distorts the angular pattern of the gap fraction, i.e., increasing the gap fraction in the down-slope direction and reducing it in the up-slope direction. The horizontally equivalent hemispheric gap fraction from the PLC can reconstruct the azimuthally symmetric angular pattern of the real horizontal surface. The azimuthally averaged gap fraction for sloping terrain can both be underestimated or overestimated depending on the LAI and can be successfully corrected through PLC. The topography-induced uncertainty in LAI measurements is found to be ~14.3% and >20% for continuous and discrete canopies, respectively. This uncertainty can be, respectively, reduced to ~1.8% and Numéro de notice : A2020-379 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : FORET/IMAGERIE Nature : Article nature-HAL : ArtAvecCL-RevueIntern DOI : 10.1109/TGRS.2019.2963366 Date de publication en ligne : 30/01/2020 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2019.2963366 Format de la ressource électronique : url article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=95372 [article]

Temporal Validation of Four LAI Products over Grasslands in the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau / Gaofei Yin in Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, PERS, vol 86 n° 4 (April 2020)  

Public [article]  inPhotogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, PERS > vol 86 n° 4 (April 2020) . - pp 225 - 233 Titre : Temporal Validation of Four LAI Products over Grasslands in the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Gaofei Yin, Auteur ; Ainong Li, Auteur ; Zhengjian Zhang, Auteur ; Guangbin Lei, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : pp 225 - 233 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] analyse comparative [Termes IGN] appariement d'images [Termes IGN] image Aqua-MODIS [Termes IGN] image Terra-MODIS [Termes IGN] Leaf Area Index [Termes IGN] plateau [Termes IGN] prairie [Termes IGN] série temporelle [Termes IGN] température au sol [Termes IGN] Tibet Résumé : (Auteur) Time series of leaf area index (LAI) products are now widely used, and the temporal validation is the prerequisite for their proper application. However, a systematical comparison between different products using both direct and indirect methods is still lacking. The objective of this paper is to assess and compare the temporal performances of four LAI products: Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) LAI (MOD)15A2, MOD15A2h, Geoland2 Version 1 (GEOV1), and Global Land Surface Satellite (GLASS). The study area, which is dominated by grasslands, is located in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau (TP), and temperature is the main stress factor affecting grass growth. Both a correlation analysis with temperature and a direct comparison with temporally continuous LAI reference maps were implemented in our temporal validation experiments. The results show that no single product can capture the rapid change and the seasonal trend in LAI simultaneously, and the compositing period used in each product determines the quality of the corresponding LAI time series. The MOD15A2 and MOD15A2h products, which have short compositing windows (eight days), are suitable for detecting rapid change. A grazing-induced biomass decrease that occurred around day of year 205 in 2014 in our study area was clearly revealed in these two products. For the GEOV1 and GLASS products, which have compositing windows of 30 days and 1 year, respectively, the grazing date was shifted (GEOV1) or even invisible (GLASS). However, products with prolonged compositing windows may be more robust to observation noise, and the resulting products may be suitable for capturing the seasonal trend. This study highlights that the concurrent use of data from various sensors onboard different satellites, and the introduction of new generations of satellites (e.g., Gaofen-6), are two promising ways to further improve existing LAI time series.

Modeling canopy reflectance over sloping terrain based on path length correction / Gaofei Yin in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 55 n° 8 (August 2017)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 55 n° 8 (August 2017) . - pp 4597 - 4609 Titre : Modeling canopy reflectance over sloping terrain based on path length correction Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Gaofei Yin, Auteur ; Ainong Li, Auteur ; Wei Zhao, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp 4597 - 4609 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] distorsion du signal [Termes IGN] figuré du terrain [Termes IGN] méthode de Monte-Carlo [Termes IGN] modèle de simulation [Termes IGN] modèle numérique de surface de la canopée [Termes IGN] montagne [Termes IGN] pente [Termes IGN] réflectance végétale Résumé : (Auteur) Sloping terrain induces distortion of canopy reflectance (CR), and the retrieval of biophysical variables from remote sensing data needs to account for topographic effects. We developed a 1-D model (the path length correction (PLC) based model) for simulating CR over sloping terrain. The effects of sloping terrain on single-order and diffuse scatterings are accounted for by PLC and modification of the fraction of incoming diffuse irradiance, respectively. The PLC model was validated via both Monte Carlo and remote sensing image simulations. The comparison with the Monte Carlo simulation revealed that the PLC model can capture the pattern of slope-induced reflectance distortion with high accuracy (red band: R2 = 0.88; root-mean-square error (RMSE) = 0.0045; relative RMSE (RRMSE) = 15%; near infrared response (NIR) band: R2 = 0.79; RMSE = 0.041; RRMSE = 16%). The comparison of the PLC-simulated results with remote sensing observations acquired by the Landsat8-OLI sensor revealed an accuracy similar to that with the Monte Carlo simulation (red band: R2 = 0.83; RMSE = 0.0053; RRMSE = 13%; NIR band: R2 = 0.77; RMSE = 0.023; RRMSE = 8%). To further validate the PLC model, we used it to implement topographic normalization; the results showed a large reduction in topographic effects after normalization, which implied that the PLC model captures reflectance variations caused by terrain. The PLC model provides a promising tool to improve the simulation of CR and the retrieval of biophysical variables over mountainous regions.
