Moreover, the few works on local-scale perception are concentrated in Europe, Asia, and North America. Here, we present a case study approaching a tidal flood risk mapping application in the face of climate change scenarios in a region with a strong environmental and social appeal. The study site is an estuarine cut in the Brazilian semi-arid region, covering part of two state conservation units, which has been suffering severe consequences from tidal flooding in recent years. In this case study, we used high-geodetic-precision data (lidar DEM), together with robust tidal return period statistics and data from current sea level rise scenarios. We found that approximately 327.60 km2 of the estuary is under tidal flood risk and in need of mitigation measures. This case study can serve as a basis for future management actions, as well as a model for applying risk mapping in other coastal areas.

However, other factors, such as competition and species interaction, may yield better estimates for individual tree height when taken into account, but these variables have so far been challenging in model fitting. We propose a hybrid approach using genetic algorithms for variables selection and a machine learning algorithm (random forest) for fitting models of individual tree heights. We compare our proposed hybrid method with a mixed-effects model and random forest model using a dataset of 5,608 trees and 189 environmental variables (forest inventory-based variables, soil, topographic, climate, spectral, and geographic) from sites in southeastern Brazil. The tree height models were evaluated using the coefficient of determination, absolute bias, and root means square error (RMSE) based on the validation of dataset performance. The optimal set of variables of the proposed method include the ratio of diameter at breast height to quadratic mean diameter, distance independent competition index, dominant height, the soil silt and boron content. Our findings showed that the proposed hybrid method achieved an accuracy comparable with other methodologies in estimating the total height of the individual trees, and such a modelling approach could have broader applications in forestry and ecological science where a studied response trait has a large number of potential explanatory variables.

A CNN-based approach for the estimation of canopy heights and wood volume from GEDI waveforms / Ibrahim Fayad in Remote sensing of environment, vol 265 (November 2021)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing of environment > vol 265 (November 2021) . - n° 112652 Titre : A CNN-based approach for the estimation of canopy heights and wood volume from GEDI waveforms Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ibrahim Fayad, Auteur ; Dino Lenco, Auteur ; Nicolas Baghdadi, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 112652 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Lasergrammétrie [Termes IGN] Brésil [Termes IGN] classification par réseau neuronal convolutif [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] données localisées 3D [Termes IGN] Eucalyptus (genre) [Termes IGN] forme d'onde [Termes IGN] Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation lidar [Termes IGN] hauteur des arbres [Termes IGN] modèle de croissance végétale [Termes IGN] random-motion-over-ground model [Termes IGN] semis de points [Termes IGN] volume en bois Résumé : (auteur) Full waveform (FW) LiDAR systems have proven their effectiveness to map forest biophysical variables in the last two decades, owing to their ability of measuring, with high accuracy, forest vertical structures. The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) system on board the International Space Station (ISS) is the latest FW spaceborne LiDAR instrument for the continuous observation of Earth's forests. FW systems rely on very sophisticated pre-processing steps to generate a priori metrics in order to leverage their capabilities for the accurate estimation of the aforementioned forest characteristics. The ever-expanding volume of acquired GEDI data, which to date comprises more than 25 billion acquired unfiltered shots, and along with the pre-processed data, amounting to more than 90 TB of data, raises new challenges in terms of adapted preprocessing methods for the suitable exploitation of such a huge and complex amount of LiDAR data. To overcome the issues related to the generation of relevant metrics from GEDI data, we propose a new metric-free approach to estimate canopy dominant heights (Hdom) and wood volume (V) of Eucalyptus plantations over five different regions in Brazil. To avoid metric computation, we leverage deep learning techniques and, more in detail, convolutional neural networks with the aim to analyze the GEDI Level 1B geolocated waveforms. Performance comparisons were conducted between four convolutional neural network (CNN) variants using GEDI waveform data (either untouched, or subsetted) and a metric based Random Forest regressor (RF). Additionally, we tested if our framework can improve the generalization of the models to different distant regions. First, the models were trained using data from all the study regions. Cross validated results showed that the CNN based models compared well against their RF counterpart for both Hdom and V. The RMSE on the estimation of Hdom from the CNN based models varied between 1.54 and 1.94 m with a coefficient of determination (R2) between 0.86 and 0.91, while the RF model produced an accuracy on Hdom estimates of 1.45 m (R2 = 0.92). For V, CNN based estimations ranged from 27.76 to 33.33 m3.ha−1 (R2 between 0.82 and 0.88), while for RF, the RMSE was 27.61 m3.ha−1 (R2 = 0.88). Next, model generalization was assessed by means of a spatial transfer experiment. For Hdom, both the CNN and RF approaches showed similar performances to a global model, however, the CNN based approach showed higher variability on the estimation accuracy, and the variability was related to the forest structure between the trained and tested data (similar tree heights yield better accuracies). For the estimation of V, considering both approaches, the accuracy was dependent on the allometric relationship between Hdom and V in the training and testing regions while lower accuracies on V were obtained when the testing and training regions exhibited a different allometric relationship.

The use of Otsu algorithm and multi-temporal airborne LiDAR data to detect building changes in urban space / Renato César Dos santos in Applied geomatics, vol 13 n° 4 (December 2021)

In this context, multi-temporal airborne LiDAR data has been considered an effective alternative since it has some advantages over conventional photogrammetry. Despite several works in the literature, the automatic class definition with great accuracy and performance remains a challenge in change detection. The developed strategies usually explore training samples or empirical thresholds to discriminate the classes. To overcome this limitation, we proposed an automatic building change detection method based on Otsu algorithm and median planarity attribute computed from eigenvalues. The main contribution corresponds to the automatic and unsupervised identification of building changes. The experiments were conducted using airborne LiDAR data from two epochs: 2012 and 2014. From qualitative and quantitative analysis, the robustness of the proposed method in detecting building changes in urban areas was evaluated, presenting completeness and correctness around 99% and 76%, respectively.

Scattered throughout this portion of the Brazilian territory are local inhabitants whose traditional lifestyles are characterized by agricultural, extractive, fishing and animal husbandry activities. These local residents use guidance systems and mental maps developed through their long history, interaction with nature, and knowledge of the environment in which they live and work. Based on sketches prepared by residents and by Health Agents serving the communities, and with the support of cartographic-based materials produced by the team of the Socioenvironmental Atlas of Lençóis Maranhenses (ASALM, Portuguese abbreviation for Socioenvironmental Atlas of Lençóis Maranhenses), we present a set of digital and interactive cartographic materials that reproduce the movements, uses and practices of the families of these communities as well as the environmental dynamics of this vast region. Such cartography can serve as an instrument of planning, understanding and action, both to safeguard the rights of the local residents and for the handling and management of natural resources. Based on the dialogue between local knowledge and cartography, we present the methods, processes and results of our research project.
