However, the classical satellite-derived land cover/forest cover products with limited resolution are not fine enough for the identification of urban tree, which is usually appeared in small size and intersected with infrastructure. To relieve the dilemma, this study developed an urban tree specific sub-pixel mapping (SPM) architecture with deep learning approach, which aimed to generate 2m fine-scale urban tree cover product from 10 m Sentinel-2 images for large-scale area of 34 metropolises in China. The proposed approach has remarkable reconstruction ability for delineating the contextual characteristic of the urban tree patterns, and reliable generalization ability to large-scale area. In addition, this study creates a large-volume urban tree cover dataset (UTCD) with 0.13 billion urban tree samples at 2 m resolution, which fills the deficiency of standard dataset in urban tree cover research field. Quantitative analysis of our products was conducted on two typical study sites of Beijing and Wuhan. The results show that our products recover averagely more than 58.72% of urban tree covers that have been underestimated in the existing land cover/forest cover products, and outperforms the state-of-the-art approach both visually and quantitatively, by averagely 11.31% improvement in overall accuracy. From our annual products during 2016–2020, we found an evolution characteristic of urban tree cover: it is more stable in developed cities like Beijing, while more fluctuated in developing cities like Wuhan, and the alteration are usually concentrated at the outer-ring of downtown, which may be caused by the municipal planning and the land development of real estate industry.

Public [article]  inISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing > vol 184 (February 2022) . - pp 19 - 30 Titre : Mapping global flying aircraft activities using Landsat 8 and cloud computing Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Fen Zhao, Auteur ; Lang Xia, Auteur ; Arve Kylling, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 19 - 30 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] analyse diachronique [Termes IGN] aviation civile [Termes IGN] cartographie thématique [Termes IGN] climat [Termes IGN] détection d'objet [Termes IGN] image Landsat-8 [Termes IGN] image Landsat-OLI [Termes IGN] informatique en nuage [Termes IGN] navigation aérienne [Termes IGN] trafic aérien [Termes IGN] transport aérien Résumé : (auteur) Satellite-based remote sensing might provide a potential way for monitoring the global flight activities and their environment impacts, while the remote sensing community pays less attention on it. In this study, we presented a flying aircraft detection algorithm which effectively handles the noise on Landsat 8 OLI cirrus band caused by energetic particles in the South Atlantic Anomaly region, and a new framework based on cloud infrastructure was proposed to map global flying aircraft activities from 2013 to 2020 using Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) data. Validation was performed for 254 scenes recorded for various cloudy and surface conditions and vapor contents. The overall percentages of false alarms and omissions for these validation images were 5.37% and 7.80%, respectively. Limited to the resolution of Landsat data, cloud, the size and flight altitude of the aircraft, 42.99% flying aircraft were undetected compared with the FlightRadar24. Instead of using the Google Earth Engine, we employed more flexible cloud computing techniques, Google Cloud Storage and Google Calculation Engine, to construct our framework for the larger volume data. A total of 1.94 million Landsat images were analyzed to obtain the activities maps, and the results showed that globally flying aircraft increased by 25.85% from 2014 to 2019 (the year 2013 was excluded for the low coverage of Landsat scenes), with an annual rate of 4.31%. In 2020, flying aircraft were reduced by 40% compared with 2019 due to the influence of COVID-19 and traveling restrictions, and Europe was the most severely affected by COVID-19, with an 84.59% decline of flying aircraft in April 2020. This study provides a unique long-term supplement to monitor aviation activities and their climate impact.

Multiple algorithms for the automated mapping of forest disturbance using remotely sensed imagery have been developed and applied; however, variability in natural and anthropogenic disturbance phenomena, as well as image acquisition conditions, can result in maps that may be incomplete or that contain inaccuracies that prevent their use for directly estimating areas of disturbance. To reduce errors in reporting disturbance areas, stratified estimators can be applied to obtain statistically robust area estimates, while simultaneously circumventing the need to conduct a complete census or in situations where such a census may not be possible. We present a semi-automated procedure for implementation in Google Earth Engine, 3I3D-GEE, for regional to global mapping of forest disturbance (including clear-cut harvesting, fire, and wind damage) and sample-based estimation of related areas using data from the processing capacity of Google Earth Engine. Documentation for the application is also provided in Appendix A. Using Sentinel-2 (S2) imagery, our procedure was applied and tested for 2018 in Italy for which the approximately 11 million ha of forests (mostly Q. pubescens, Q. robur, Q. cerris, Q. petraea, and Fagus sylvatica) serve as an appropriate case study because national statistics on forest disturbance areas are not available. To decrease the overall standard errors of the area estimates, the sampling intensities in areas where greater variability in the form of greater commission and omission errors are expected can be increased. To this end, we augmented the predicted forest disturbance map with a buffer class consisting of a two-pixel buffer (20 m) on each side of the disturbance class boundary. We selected a reference sample of 19,300 points: a simple random sample of 9,300 points from the buffer and simple random samples of 5000 from each of the undisturbed and disturbed classes. The reference sample was photointerpreted using fine resolution orthophotos (30 cm) and S2 imagery. While the estimate of the disturbed area obtained by adding the areas of pixels classified as disturbed was 41,732 ha, the estimate obtained using the unbiased stratified estimator was 27% greater at 57,717716 ha. Regarding map accuracy, we found several omission errors in the buffer (53.4%) but none (0%) in the undisturbed map class. Similarly, among the 1035 commission errors, the majority (7 4 4) were in the buffer class. The methods presented herein provide a useful tool that can be used to estimate areas of forest disturbance, which many nations must report as part of their commitment to international conventions and treaties. In addition, the information generated can support forest management, enabling the forest sector to monitor stand-replacing forest harvesting over space and time.

Due to their negative impact on different social, economic and environmental aspects need to monitor and map these phenomena have increased. In fact, to access the zones affected by the flood, we use open source remote sensing (RS) images acquired by optical and radar sensors. Furthermore, we present a method using Sentinel-1 images; we suggest applying Ground Range Detected (GRD) images. For this purpose, pre-processed built and provided by the European Space Agency (ESA), preserved by free software Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP) for data extraction around appropriate demand. Moreover, the principal objective of this article is to assess the capability of Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images in order to visualize flood areas in the Inaouene watershed located in north-eastern of Morocco. The origin of this natural hazard is the combination of natural and anthropogenic factors that makes the watershed vulnerable with a sub-annual frequency. The results of this work help decision-makers and managers in the field of natural risk management and land-use planning to implement a strategy and action plan for the protection of the populations and the environment against the negative impact of floods.

Automatic extraction of damaged houses by earthquake based on improved YOLOv5: A case study in Yangbi / Yafei Jing in Remote sensing, vol 14 n° 2 (January 2 2022)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing > vol 14 n° 2 (January 2 2022) . - n° 382 Titre : Automatic extraction of damaged houses by earthquake based on improved YOLOv5: A case study in Yangbi Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Yafei Jing, Auteur ; Yuhuan Ren, Auteur ; Yalan Liu, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 382 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] détection d'objet [Termes IGN] détection de cible [Termes IGN] dommage matériel [Termes IGN] extraction automatique [Termes IGN] image captée par drone [Termes IGN] orthoimage [Termes IGN] séisme [Termes IGN] Yunnan (Chine) Résumé : (auteur) Efficiently and automatically acquiring information on earthquake damage through remote sensing has posed great challenges because the classical methods of detecting houses damaged by destructive earthquakes are often both time consuming and low in accuracy. A series of deep-learning-based techniques have been developed and recent studies have demonstrated their high intelligence for automatic target extraction for natural and remote sensing images. For the detection of small artificial targets, current studies show that You Only Look Once (YOLO) has a good performance in aerial and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) images. However, less work has been conducted on the extraction of damaged houses. In this study, we propose a YOLOv5s-ViT-BiFPN-based neural network for the detection of rural houses. Specifically, to enhance the feature information of damaged houses from the global information of the feature map, we introduce the Vision Transformer into the feature extraction network. Furthermore, regarding the scale differences for damaged houses in UAV images due to the changes in flying height, we apply the Bi-Directional Feature Pyramid Network (BiFPN) for multi-scale feature fusion to aggregate features with different resolutions and test the model. We took the 2021 Yangbi earthquake with a surface wave magnitude (Ms) of 6.4 in Yunan, China, as an example; the results show that the proposed model presents a better performance, with the average precision (AP) being increased by 9.31% and 1.23% compared to YOLOv3 and YOLOv5s, respectively, and a detection speed of 80 FPS, which is 2.96 times faster than YOLOv3. In addition, the transferability test for five other areas showed that the average accuracy was 91.23% and the total processing time was 4 min, while 100 min were needed for professional visual interpreters. The experimental results demonstrate that the YOLOv5s-ViT-BiFPN model can automatically detect damaged rural houses due to destructive earthquakes in UAV images with a good performance in terms of accuracy and timeliness, as well as being robust and transferable.
