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.

Viewed as a digital representation of the Earth’s surface, an urban area modeled in 3D includes objects such as buildings, trees, vegetation and other anthropogenic structures, highlighting the buildings as the most prominent category. A city’s 3D model can be created based on different data sources, especially LiDAR or photogrammetric point clouds. This paper’s aim is to provide an end-to-end pipeline for 3D building modeling based on oblique UAS images only, the result being a parametrized 3D model with the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) CityGML standard, Level of Detail 2 (LOD2). For this purpose, a flight over an urban area of about 20.6 ha has been taken with a low-cost UAS, i.e., a DJI Phantom 4 Pro Professional (P4P), at 100 m height. The resulting UAS point cloud with the best scenario, i.e., 45 Ground Control Points (GCP), has been processed as follows: filtering to extract the ground points using two algorithms, CSF and terrain-mark; classification, using two methods, based on attributes only and a random forest machine learning algorithm; segmentation using local homogeneity implemented into Opals software; plane creation based on a region-growing algorithm; and plane editing and 3D model reconstruction based on piece-wise intersection of planar faces. The classification performed with ~35% training data and 31 attributes showed that the Visible-band difference vegetation index (VDVI) is a key attribute and 77% of the data was classified using only five attributes. The global accuracy for each modeled building through the workflow proposed in this study was around 0.15 m, so it can be concluded that the proposed pipeline is reliable.

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.

Self-attention and generative adversarial networks for algae monitoring / Nhut Hai Huynh in European journal of remote sensing, vol 55 n° 1 (January 2022)  

Public [article]  inEuropean journal of remote sensing > vol 55 n° 1 (January 2022) . - pp 10 - 22 Titre : Self-attention and generative adversarial networks for algae monitoring Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Nhut Hai Huynh, Auteur ; Gordon Boër, Auteur ; Hauke Schramm, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 10 - 22 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] algue [Termes IGN] analyse en composantes principales [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] classification par réseau neuronal convolutif [Termes IGN] image hyperspectrale [Termes IGN] plancton [Termes IGN] réseau antagoniste génératif [Termes IGN] réseau neuronal artificiel Résumé : (auteur) Water is important for the natural environment and human health. Monitoring algae concentrations yield information on the water quality. Compared with in situ measurements of water quality parameters, which are often complex and expensive, remote sensing techniques, using hyperspectral data analysis, are fast and cost-effective. The objectives of this study are (1) to estimate the algae concentrations from hyperspectral data using deep learning techniques, (2) to investigate the applicability of attention mechanisms in the analysis of hyperspectral data, and (3) to augment the training data using generative adversarial networks (GANs). The results show that the accuracy of deep learning techniques is 7.6% higher than that of simpler artificial neural networks. Compared to noise injection and principal component analysis-based data augmentation, the use of a GAN-based data augmentation method significantly improves the accuracy of algae concentration estimates (>5%). In addition, models with added attention mechanisms yield an on average 3.13% higher accuracy than those without attention techniques. This result demonstrates the improvement of spectral features of artificial hyperspectral data based on the self-attention approach, revealing the potential of attention techniques in hyperspectral remote sensing.

Global canopy height regression and uncertainty estimation from GEDI LIDAR waveforms with deep ensembles / Nico Lang in Remote sensing of environment, vol 268 (January 2022)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing of environment > vol 268 (January 2022) . - n* 112760 Titre : Global canopy height regression and uncertainty estimation from GEDI LIDAR waveforms with deep ensembles Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Nico Lang, Auteur ; Nicolai Kalischek, Auteur ; John Armston, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n* 112760 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Lasergrammétrie [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] biomasse aérienne [Termes IGN] classification dirigée [Termes IGN] classification par réseau neuronal convolutif [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] données localisées 3D [Termes IGN] estimation bayesienne [Termes IGN] forme d'onde [Termes IGN] Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation lidar [Termes IGN] modèle numérique de surface de la canopée [Termes IGN] semis de points Résumé : (auteur) NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is a key climate mission whose goal is to advance our understanding of the role of forests in the global carbon cycle. While GEDI is the first space-based LIDAR explicitly optimized to measure vertical forest structure predictive of aboveground biomass, the accurate interpretation of this vast amount of waveform data across the broad range of observational and environmental conditions is challenging. Here, we present a novel supervised machine learning approach to interpret GEDI waveforms and regress canopy top height globally. We propose a probabilistic deep learning approach based on an ensemble of deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) to avoid the explicit modelling of unknown effects, such as atmospheric noise. The model learns to extract robust features that generalize to unseen geographical regions and, in addition, yields reliable estimates of predictive uncertainty. Ultimately, the global canopy top height estimates produced by our model have an expected RMSE of 2.7 m with low bias.
