In this study, we presented a flying aircraft detection algorithm which effectively handles the noise on Landsat 8 OLI cirrus band caused by energetic particles in the South Atlantic Anomaly region, and a new framework based on cloud infrastructure was proposed to map global flying aircraft activities from 2013 to 2020 using Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) data. Validation was performed for 254 scenes recorded for various cloudy and surface conditions and vapor contents. The overall percentages of false alarms and omissions for these validation images were 5.37% and 7.80%, respectively. Limited to the resolution of Landsat data, cloud, the size and flight altitude of the aircraft, 42.99% flying aircraft were undetected compared with the FlightRadar24. Instead of using the Google Earth Engine, we employed more flexible cloud computing techniques, Google Cloud Storage and Google Calculation Engine, to construct our framework for the larger volume data. A total of 1.94 million Landsat images were analyzed to obtain the activities maps, and the results showed that globally flying aircraft increased by 25.85% from 2014 to 2019 (the year 2013 was excluded for the low coverage of Landsat scenes), with an annual rate of 4.31%. In 2020, flying aircraft were reduced by 40% compared with 2019 due to the influence of COVID-19 and traveling restrictions, and Europe was the most severely affected by COVID-19, with an 84.59% decline of flying aircraft in April 2020. This study provides a unique long-term supplement to monitor aviation activities and their climate impact.

Multiple algorithms for the automated mapping of forest disturbance using remotely sensed imagery have been developed and applied; however, variability in natural and anthropogenic disturbance phenomena, as well as image acquisition conditions, can result in maps that may be incomplete or that contain inaccuracies that prevent their use for directly estimating areas of disturbance. To reduce errors in reporting disturbance areas, stratified estimators can be applied to obtain statistically robust area estimates, while simultaneously circumventing the need to conduct a complete census or in situations where such a census may not be possible. We present a semi-automated procedure for implementation in Google Earth Engine, 3I3D-GEE, for regional to global mapping of forest disturbance (including clear-cut harvesting, fire, and wind damage) and sample-based estimation of related areas using data from the processing capacity of Google Earth Engine. Documentation for the application is also provided in Appendix A. Using Sentinel-2 (S2) imagery, our procedure was applied and tested for 2018 in Italy for which the approximately 11 million ha of forests (mostly Q. pubescens, Q. robur, Q. cerris, Q. petraea, and Fagus sylvatica) serve as an appropriate case study because national statistics on forest disturbance areas are not available. To decrease the overall standard errors of the area estimates, the sampling intensities in areas where greater variability in the form of greater commission and omission errors are expected can be increased. To this end, we augmented the predicted forest disturbance map with a buffer class consisting of a two-pixel buffer (20 m) on each side of the disturbance class boundary. We selected a reference sample of 19,300 points: a simple random sample of 9,300 points from the buffer and simple random samples of 5000 from each of the undisturbed and disturbed classes. The reference sample was photointerpreted using fine resolution orthophotos (30 cm) and S2 imagery. While the estimate of the disturbed area obtained by adding the areas of pixels classified as disturbed was 41,732 ha, the estimate obtained using the unbiased stratified estimator was 27% greater at 57,717716 ha. Regarding map accuracy, we found several omission errors in the buffer (53.4%) but none (0%) in the undisturbed map class. Similarly, among the 1035 commission errors, the majority (7 4 4) were in the buffer class. The methods presented herein provide a useful tool that can be used to estimate areas of forest disturbance, which many nations must report as part of their commitment to international conventions and treaties. In addition, the information generated can support forest management, enabling the forest sector to monitor stand-replacing forest harvesting over space and time.

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.

Novel fuzzy clustering algorithm with variable multi-pixel fitting spatial information for image segmentation / Hang Zhang in Pattern recognition, vol 121 (January 2022)  

Public [article]  inPattern recognition > vol 121 (January 2022) . - n° 108201 Titre : Novel fuzzy clustering algorithm with variable multi-pixel fitting spatial information for image segmentation Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Hang Zhang, Auteur ; Haili Li, Auteur ; Ning Chen, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 108201 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] analyse de groupement [Termes IGN] approche pixel [Termes IGN] classification floue [Termes IGN] filtre [Termes IGN] segmentation d'image [Termes IGN] voisinage (topologie) Résumé : (auteur) Spatial information is often used to enhance the robustness of traditional fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithms. Although some recently emerged improvements are remarkable, the computational complexity of these algorithms is high, which may lead to lack of practicability. To address this problem, an efficient variant named the fuzzy clustering algorithm with variable multi-pixel fitting spatial information (FCM-VMF) is presented. First, a fuzzy clustering algorithm with multi-pixel fitting spatial information (FCM-MF) is developed. Specifically, by dividing the input image into several filter windows, the spatial information of all pixels in each filter window can be obtained simultaneously by fitting the pixels in its corresponding neighbourhood window, which enormously reduces the computational complexity. However, the FCM-MF may result in the loss of edge information. Therefore, the FCM-VMF integrates a variable window strategy with FCM-MF. In this strategy, to preserve more edge information, the sizes of the filter window and generalized neighbourhood window are adaptively reduced. The experimental results show that FCM-VMF is as effective as some recent algorithms. Notably, the FCM-VMF has extremely high efficiency, which means it has a better prospect of application.

Improving LSMA for impervious surface estimation in an urban area / Jin Wang 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 37 - 51 Titre : Improving LSMA for impervious surface estimation in an urban area Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Jin Wang, Auteur ; Yaolong Zhao, Auteur ; Yingchun Fu, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 37 - 51 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] analyse des mélanges spectraux [Termes IGN] classification et arbre de régression [Termes IGN] image Landsat-OLI [Termes IGN] régression [Termes IGN] signature spectrale [Termes IGN] surface imperméable [Termes IGN] Yunnan (Chine) [Termes IGN] zone urbaine Résumé : (auteur) Linear spectral mixture analysis (LSMA) and regression analysis are the two most conventionally used methods to estimate impervious surfaces at the subpixel scale in an urban area. However, LSMA lacks the sensitivity to pixel brightness, which leads to inter variability of endmembers and affects the ability to distinguish features with a similar spectral signature. This research aims to develop LSMA aided by a regression analysis model to estimate impervious surfaces with higher accuracy. A spectral angle mapping (SAM) based regression analysis model is introduced to reduce errors. Based on high-resolution images and field survey data, the SAM-based regression analysis can estimate non-impervious surface and high-impervious surface densities with high accuracy, while less accurate in impervious surfaces with low/medium density. In contrast, LSMA is able to estimate low/medium-density impervious surfaces with higher accuracy. We propose an improved approach by integrating the two methods, regression analysis aided LSMA, for impervious surface estimation. The proposed method increases the overall accuracy of the impervious surface estimation to 85.24%, which is significantly greater than that of the conventional methods.
