To achieve this objective, Landsat series data collected before and after community involvement in biodiversity conservation were used in conjunction with selected diversity indices i.e., Shannon-Wiener Index (H’) and Simpson Index (D). Thirty 15 m × 15 m field plots were selected and all trees within each plot were identified, with the help of Botanists. Further, we applied regression analysis to determine the relationship between satellite derived tree species diversity and field observations. The results of the study demonstrated a significant (p  Numéro de notice : A2022-052 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : BIODIVERSITE/FORET/IMAGERIE Nature : Article DOI : 10.1080/10106049.2020.1723717 Date de publication en ligne : 16/04/2020 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1080/10106049.2020.1723717 Format de la ressource électronique : URL article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=99443 [article]

Classification of tree species in a heterogeneous urban environment using object-based ensemble analysis and World View-2 satellite imagery / Simbarashe Jombo in Applied geomatics, vol 13 n° 3 (September 2021)  

Public [article]  inApplied geomatics > vol 13 n° 3 (September 2021) . - pp 373 - 387 Titre : Classification of tree species in a heterogeneous urban environment using object-based ensemble analysis and World View-2 satellite imagery Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Simbarashe Jombo, Auteur ; Elhadi Adam, Auteur ; John Odindi, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 373 - 387 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] analyse d'image orientée objet [Termes IGN] arbre urbain [Termes IGN] classification par forêts d'arbres décisionnels [Termes IGN] classification par séparateurs à vaste marge [Termes IGN] espèce végétale [Termes IGN] image à très haute résolution [Termes IGN] image multibande [Termes IGN] image Worldview [Termes IGN] indice de végétation [Termes IGN] Johannesbourg [Termes IGN] segmentation d'image Résumé : (auteur) Urban trees are valuable in, inter alia, ameliorating air pollution and mitigating the effects associated with urban heat islands. The dearth of tree cover maps is a major challenge for urban planners in the management of urban trees. This work adopts remote sensing approaches to provide urban tree cover maps which can strengthen urban landscape management. Whereas traditional pixel-based classification approaches have been commonly used in image classification, they are not well-suited for urban tree mapping due to their failure to fully explore the image’s spatial and spectral characteristics. Object-based classification techniques produce improved accuracies using additional variables. This study depicts the capability of object-based image analysis (OBIA) in mapping common urban trees using very high-resolution (VHR) WorldView-2 (WV-2) imagery. The study tests the utility of WV-2 bands and other feature variables in the object-based mapping of common urban trees and other land cover classes. Furthermore, the study compares the utility of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) in the object-based mapping of common urban trees and other land cover classes. The results show that the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), NIR 1 and NIR 2 bands were important in the classification of common urban trees and other land cover classes. The RF classifier performed better than SVM, with an overall accuracy of 91.9% as compared to 87.3% for SVM. The results of this study offer insight to urban authorities with knowledge on the segmentation parameters, classification methods and feature variables for mapping urban trees, valuable in urban tree management.

Examining the effectiveness of Sentinel-1 and 2 imagery for commercial forest species mapping / Mthembeni Mngadi in Geocarto international, vol 36 n° 1 ([01/01/2021])  

Public [article]  inGeocarto international > vol 36 n° 1 [01/01/2021] . - pp 1 - 12 Titre : Examining the effectiveness of Sentinel-1 and 2 imagery for commercial forest species mapping Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Mthembeni Mngadi, Auteur ; John Odindi, Auteur ; Kabir Peerbhay, Auteur ; Onisimo Mutanga, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 1 - 12 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image mixte [Termes IGN] analyse discriminante [Termes IGN] carte forestière [Termes IGN] Eucalyptus (genre) [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-MSI [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-SAR [Termes IGN] KwaZulu-Natal (Afrique du Sud) [Termes IGN] Pinus (genre) [Termes IGN] télédétection spatiale Résumé : (Auteur) The successful launch and operation of the Sentinel satellite platform has provided access to freely available remotely sensed data useful for commercial forest species discrimination. Sentinel – 1 (S1) with a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensor and Sentinel – 2 (S2) multi-spectral sensor with additional and strategically positioned bands offer great potential for providing reliable information for discriminating and mapping commercial forest species. In this study, we sought to determine the value of S1 and S2 data characteristics in discriminating and mapping commercial forest species. Using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) algorithm, S2 multi-spectral imagery showed an overall classification accuracy of 84% (kappa = 0.81), with bands such as the red-edge (703.9–740.2 nm), narrow near infrared (835.1–864.8 nm), and short wave infrared (1613.7–2202.4 nm) particularly influential in discriminating individual forest species stands. When Sentinel 2’s spectral wavebands were fused with Sentinel 1’s (SAR) VV and VH polarimetric modes, overall classification accuracies improved to 87% (kappa = 0.83) and 88% (kappa = 0.85), respectively. These findings demonstrate the value of combining Sentinel’s multispectral and SAR structural information characteristics in improving commercial forest species discrimination. These, in addition to the sensors free availability, higher spatial resolution and larger swath width, offer unprecedented opportunities for improved local and large scale commercial forest species discrimination and mapping.

Modeling the risk of robbery in the city of Tshwane, South Africa / Nicolas Kemp in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, vol 48 n° 1 (January 2021)

Cooper, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 29 - 42 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Analyse spatiale [Termes IGN] Afrique du sud (état) [Termes IGN] criminalité [Termes IGN] modèle de simulation [Termes IGN] modélisation spatiale [Termes IGN] prévention des risques [Termes IGN] protection civile [Termes IGN] zone à risque Résumé : (auteur) In this study, we model the risk of robbery in the City of Tshwane in South Africa. We use the collective knowledge of two prominent spatial theories of crime (social disorganization theory, and crime pattern theory) to guide the selection of data and employ rudimentary geospatial techniques to create a crude model that identifies the risk of future robbery incidents in the city. The model is validated using actual robbery incidences recorded for the city. Overall the model performs reasonably well with approximately 70% of future robbery incidences accurately identified within a small subset of the overall model. Developing countries such as South Africa are in dire need of crime risk intensity models that are simple, and not data intensive to allocate scarce crime prevention resources in a more optimal fashion. It is anticipated that this model is a first step in this regard.
