Résumé : (auteur) Remote sensing provides us with an approach for the rapid identification and monitoring of spatiotemporal changes in the urban ecological environment at different scales. This study aimed to construct a remote sensing assessment index for urban ecological livability with continuous fine spatiotemporal resolution data from Landsat and MODIS to overcome the dilemma of single image-based, single-factor analysis, due to the limitations of atmospheric conditions or the revisit period of satellite platforms. The proposed Ecological Livability Index (ELI) covers five primary ecological indicators – greenness, temperature, dryness, water-wetness, and atmospheric turbidity – which are geometrically aggregated by non-equal weights based on an entropy method. Considering multisource time-series data of each indicator, the ELI can quickly and comprehensively reflect the characteristics of the Ecological Livability Quality (ELQ) and is also comparable at different time scales. Based on the proposed ELI, the urban ecological livability in the central urban area of Wuhan, China, from 2002 to 2017, in the different seasons was analyzed every 5 years. The ELQ of Wuhan was found to be generally at the medium level (ELI ≈0.6) and showed an initial trend of degradation but then improved. Moreover, the ecological livability in spring and autumn and near rivers and lakes was found to be better, whereas urban expansion has led to the outward ecological degradation of Wuhan, but urban afforestation has enhanced the environment. In general, this paper demonstrates that the ELI has an exemplary embodiment in urban ecological research, which will support urban ecological protection planning and construction.

However, drought may decrease vegetation health and limit this cooling effect. Here we use satellite-based Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) to investigate the sensitivity of urban vegetation to drought in Coastal Greater Los Angeles (CGLA) from 2001 to 2020. We applied four statistical models to analyze the relations between 15 socioeconomic variables and the vegetation's sensitivity to drought. We then examined the changes in the cooling effect of the urban vegetation during drought and non-drought periods using remotely sensed land surface temperature (LST) data. The results suggest that economically disadvantaged areas with higher proportions of Hispanics and Blacks are typified by vegetation more sensitive to drought, which is likely linked to inequality in water use. Moreover, these populations experience a lower degree of vegetation cooling effects and higher exposure to heatwaves. The findings of this study imply that the potential of a community's vegetation in mitigating heatwaves is significantly influenced by the socioeconomic conditions of the community. Increasing the resilience of urban vegetation to drought in disadvantaged communities may help promote environmentally sustainable and socially resilient cities under a warming climate.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, several studies started to use satellite measurements to evaluate changes in air quality in many different regions worldwide. However, although satellite data is continuously validated, it is known that its accuracy may vary between monitored areas, requiring regionalized quality assessments. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate whether satellites could measure changes in the air quality of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, during the COVID-19 outbreak; and to verify the relationship between satellite-based data [Tropospheric NO2 column density and Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD)] and ground-based concentrations [NO2 and particulate material (PM; coarse: PM10 and fine: PM2.5)]. For this purpose, tropospheric NO2 obtained from the TROPOMI sensor and AOD retrieved from MODIS sensor data by using the Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) algorithm were compared with concentrations obtained from 50 automatic ground monitoring stations. The results showed low correlations between PM and AOD. For PM10, most stations showed correlations lower than 0.2, which were not significant. The results for PM2.5 were similar, but some stations showed good correlations for specific periods (before or during the COVID-19 outbreak). Satellite-based Tropospheric NO2 proved to be a good predictor for NO2 concentrations at ground level. Considering all stations with NO2 measurements, correlations >0.6 were observed, reaching 0.8 for specific stations and periods. In general, it was observed that regions with a more industrialized profile had the best correlations, in contrast with rural areas. In addition, it was observed about 57% reductions in tropospheric NO2 throughout the state of São Paulo during the COVID-19 outbreak. Variations in air pollutants were linked to the region economic vocation, since there were reductions in industrialized areas (at least 50% of the industrialized areas showed >20% decrease in NO2) and increases in areas with farming and livestock characteristics (about 70% of those areas showed increase in NO2). Our results demonstrate that Tropospheric NO2 column densities can serve as good predictors of NO2 concentrations at ground level. For MAIAC-AOD, a weak relationship was observed, requiring the evaluation of other possible predictors to describe the relationship with PM. Thus, it is concluded that regionalized assessment of satellite data accuracy is essential for assertive estimates on a regional/local level. Good quality information retrieved at specific polluted areas does not assure a worldwide use of remote sensor data.

Improved parametrisation of a physically-based forest reflectance model for retrieval of boreal forest structural properties / Eelis Halme in Silva fennica, vol 57 n° 2 (April 2023)  

Public [article]  inSilva fennica > vol 57 n° 2 (April 2023) . - n° 22028 Titre : Improved parametrisation of a physically-based forest reflectance model for retrieval of boreal forest structural properties Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Eelis Halme, Auteur ; Matti Mõttus, Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 22028 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] Betula pendula [Termes IGN] betula pubescens [Termes IGN] densité du peuplement [Termes IGN] diagnostic foliaire [Termes IGN] Finlande [Termes IGN] forêt boréale [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-MSI [Termes IGN] modèle de croissance végétale [Termes IGN] Picea abies [Termes IGN] Pinus sylvestris [Termes IGN] réflectance végétale [Termes IGN] structure d'un peuplement forestier Résumé : (auteur) Physically-based reflectance models offer a robust and transferable method to assess biophysical characteristics of vegetation in remote sensing. Forests exhibit explicit structure at many scales, from shoots and branches to landscape patches, and hence present a specific challenge to vegetation reflectance modellers. To relate forest reflectance with its structure, the complexity must be parametrised leading to an increase in the number of reflectance model inputs. The parametrisations link reflectance simulations to measurable forest variables, but at the same time rely on abstractions (e.g. a geometric surface forming a tree crown) and physically-based simplifications that are difficult to quantify robustly. As high-quality data on basic forest structure (e.g. tree height and stand density) and optical properties (e.g. leaf and forest floor reflectance) are becoming increasingly available, we used the well-validated forest reflectance and transmittance model FRT to investigate the effect of the values of the “uncertain” input parameters on the accuracy of modelled forest reflectance. With the state-of-the-art structural and spectral forest information, and Sentinel-2 Multispectral Instrument imagery, we identified that the input parameters influencing the most the modelled reflectance, given that the basic forestry variables are set to their true values and leaf mass is determined from reliable allometric models, are the regularity of the tree distribution and the amount of woody elements. When these parameters were set to their new adjusted values, the model performance improved considerably, reaching in the near infrared spectral region (740–950 nm) nearly zero bias, a relative RMSE of 13% and a correlation coefficient of 0.81. In the visible part of the spectrum, the model performance was not as consistent indicating room for improvement.

Improvement in crop mapping from satellite image time series by effectively supervising deep neural networks / Sina Mohammadi in ISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing, vol 198 (April 2023)  

Public [article]  inISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing > vol 198 (April 2023) . - pp 272 - 283 Titre : Improvement in crop mapping from satellite image time series by effectively supervising deep neural networks Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Sina Mohammadi, Auteur ; Mariana Belgiu, Auteur ; Alfred Stein, Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : pp 272 - 283 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] apprentissage dirigé [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] carte de la végétation [Termes IGN] classification par réseau neuronal convolutif [Termes IGN] classification par réseau neuronal récurrent [Termes IGN] cultures [Termes IGN] image Landsat-ETM+ [Termes IGN] image Landsat-OLI [Termes IGN] Normalized Difference Vegetation Index [Termes IGN] série temporelle Résumé : (auteur) Deep learning methods have achieved promising results in crop mapping using satellite image time series. A challenge still remains on how to better learn discriminative feature representations to detect crop types when the model is applied to unseen data. To address this challenge and reveal the importance of proper supervision of deep neural networks in improving performance, we propose to supervise intermediate layers of a designed 3D Fully Convolutional Neural Network (FCN) by employing two middle supervision methods: Cross-entropy loss Middle Supervision (CE-MidS) and a novel middle supervision method, namely Supervised Contrastive loss Middle Supervision (SupCon-MidS). This method pulls together features belonging to the same class in embedding space, while pushing apart features from different classes. We demonstrate that SupCon-MidS enhances feature discrimination and clustering throughout the network, thereby improving the network performance. In addition, we employ two output supervision methods, namely F1 loss and Intersection Over Union (IOU) loss. Our experiments on identifying corn, soybean, and the class Other from Landsat image time series in the U.S. corn belt show that the best set-up of our method, namely IOU+SupCon-MidS, is able to outperform the state-of-the-art methods by scores of 3.5% and 0.5% on average when testing its accuracy across a different year (local test) and different regions (spatial test), respectively. Further, adding SupCon-MidS to the output supervision methods improves scores by 1.2% and 7.6% on average in local and spatial tests, respectively. We conclude that proper supervision of deep neural networks plays a significant role in improving crop mapping performance.
