A quality evaluation based on 1 Hz standard deviations is proposed to detect the precision of HY-2B SWH products. The density plots of the (SWH, std) pairs obtained by the HY-2B, Jason-2 and Jason-3 are compared. And the results indicates that the HY-2B SWH root mean square error levels are significantly lower than those observed for the other altimeters. With respect to the SWH obtained from the wave rider buoys, buoys of the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), Jason-2 and Jason-3, the root mean square errors are 24 cm, 27 cm, 26 cm and 23 cm respectively. The comparison results confirm that the quality of the HY-2B SWH data higher.

In the recent years, satellite polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) systems (e.g., the Sentinel-1 constellation) became a suitable tool for multitemporal monitoring due to the regular acquisitions with a short revisit time in different polarimetric channels. Methods for CD in PolSAR data mainly focus on binary CD (i.e., they provide information about the presence/absence of change only), whereas the polarimetric enhanced information provides multiple features that can be exploited for performing multiclass CD. In this article, we introduce a novel framework for the characterization of multitemporal changes in dual-polarimetric data. The framework is based on the definition of polarimetric change vectors (PCVs) and their representation in a polar coordinate system. PCVs allow characterizing and, thus, to separate multiclass changes in terms of target properties of the single-time scenes and the scattering theory. The proposed model is used to: 1) derive the statistical behaviors of change and no change classes in PolSAR multitemporal images; 2) design an automatic and unsupervised strategy to estimate the optimal number of changes; and 3) distinguish no change from change classes and the kinds of change from each other. An experimental analysis has been conducted on three multitemporal PolSAR data sets having different complexities in terms of number and kinds of change classes. The results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach and the better performance with respect to both specific techniques for CD in dual-pol SAR data and a general multiclass CD method, not designed for PolSAR data.

Improved SMAP dual-channel algorithm for the retrieval of soil moisture / Mario Julian Chaubell in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 58 n° 6 (June 2020)

Single-channel algorithm (SCA) and dual-channel algorithm (DCA) are implemented for the processing of SMAP radiometer data. The SCA using the vertically polarized brightness temperature (SCA-V) has been providing satisfactory SM retrievals. However, the DCA using prelaunch design and algorithm parameters for vertical and horizontal polarization data has a marginal performance. In this article, we show that with the updates of the roughness parameter h and the polarization mixing parameters Q , a modified DCA (MDCA) can achieve improved accuracy over DCA; it also allows for the retrieval of vegetation optical depth (VOD or τ ). The retrieval performance of MDCA is assessed and compared with SCA-V and DCA using four years (April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2019) of in situ data from core validation sites (CVSs) and sparse networks. The assessment shows that SCA-V still outperforms all the implemented algorithms.

Polarimetric SAR calibration and residual error estimation when corner reflectors are unavailable / Lei Shi in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 58 n° 6 (June 2020)

The current PolCal process requires at least one trihedral CR to determine the co-pol CI. However, the deployment of ground CRs is costly and may even be impossible in some areas. To calibrate a polarimetric image without CRs, our proposed method automatically extracts the volume-dominated and Bragg-like pixels as a reference to estimate the crosstalk, x-pol, and co-pol CI values. Then, a first-order polynomial model is exploited to fit the co-pol CI to further improve calibration accuracy. In the experimental section, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method with data from two of China’s newly developed very high-resolution systems. The experiments confirmed that the proposed workflow can be considered as a feasible calibration scheme when the ground deployment of CRs is impossible, and it is also an effective analysis tool for the assessment of calibrated products.

Subpixel SAR image registration through parabolic interpolation of the 2-D cross correlation / Luca Pallotta in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 58 n° 6 (June 2020)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 58 n° 6 (June 2020) . - pp 4132 - 4144 Titre : Subpixel SAR image registration through parabolic interpolation of the 2-D cross correlation Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Luca Pallotta, Auteur ; Gaetano Giunta, Auteur ; Carmine Clemente, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : pp 4132 - 4144 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image radar et applications [Termes descripteurs IGN] analyse infrapixellaire [Termes descripteurs IGN] corrélation croisée normalisée [Termes descripteurs IGN] image de drone [Termes descripteurs IGN] image radar moirée [Termes descripteurs IGN] interpolation [Termes descripteurs IGN] précision infrapixellaire Résumé : (auteur) In this article, the problem of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images coregistration is considered. In particular, a novel algorithm aimed at achieving a fine subpixel coregistration accuracy is developed. The procedure is based on the parabolic interpolation of the 2-D cross correlation computed between the two SAR images to be aligned. More precisely, from the 2-D cross correlation, a neighborhood of its peak value is extracted and the interpolation of both the 2-D paraboloid and the two alternative 1-D parabolas is computed to provide the finer misregistration estimation with subpixel accuracy. The main advantage of the proposed framework is that the overall computational burden is only due to the 2-D cross correlation estimation since the parabolic interpolation is calculated with a closed-form expression. The results obtained on real recorded unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) SAR data highlight the effectiveness of the proposed approach as well as its capabilities to provide some benefits with respect to other available strategies.
