This study investigates the potential of Sentinel-1 C-band SAR sensors in burnt area mapping with an implicit Radar Convolutional Burn Index (RCBI). Based on multitemporal Sentinel-1 SAR data, a convolutional networks-based classification framework is proposed to learn the RCBI for highlighting the burnt areas. We explore the mapping accuracy level that can be achieved using SAR intensity and phase information for both VV and VH polarizations. Moreover, we investigate the decorrelation of Interferometric SAR (InSAR) coherence to wildfire events using different temporal baselines. The experimental results on two recent fire events, Thomas Fire (Dec., 2017) and Carr Fire (July, 2018) in California, demonstrate that the learnt RCBI has a better potential than the classical log-ratio operator in highlighting burnt areas. By exploiting both VV and VH information, the developed RCBI achieved an overall mapping accuracy of 94.68% and 94.17% on the Thomas Fire and Carr Fire, respectively.

The Copernicus programme developed by the European Space Agency provides, with missions such as Sentinel-1 (S1) and Sentinel-2 (S2), radar and optical (multi-spectral) imagery, respectively, at 10 m spatial resolution with revisit time around 5 days. Such high temporal resolution allows to collect Satellite Image Time Series (SITS) that support a plethora of Earth surface monitoring tasks. How to effectively combine the complementary information provided by such sensors remains an open problem in the remote sensing field. In this work, we propose a deep learning architecture to combine information coming from S1 and S2 time series, namely TWINNS (TWIn Neural Networks for Sentinel data), able to discover spatial and temporal dependencies in both types of SITS. The proposed architecture is devised to boost the land cover classification task by leveraging two levels of complementarity, i.e., the interplay between radar and optical SITS as well as the synergy between spatial and temporal dependencies. Experiments carried out on two study sites characterized by different land cover characteristics (i.e., the Koumbia site in Burkina Faso and Reunion Island, a overseas department of France in the Indian Ocean), demonstrate the significance of our proposal.

To enable processing by a deep convolutional neural network (CNN), we designed two discrete representations using leaf-off and leaf-on LiDAR data: a digital surface model with four channels (DSM × 4) and a set of four 2D views (4 × 2D). A training dataset of tree crowns was generated via segmentation of tree crowns, followed by co-registration with field data. Potential mislabels due to GPS error or tree leaning were corrected using a statistical ensemble filtering procedure. Because the training data was heavily unbalanced (~8% conifers), we trained an ensemble of CNNs on random balanced sub-samples. Benchmarked against multiple traditional shallow learning methods using manually designed features, the CNNs improved accuracies up to 14%. The 4 × 2D representation yielded similar classification accuracies to the DSM × 4 representation (~82% coniferous and ~90% deciduous) while converging faster. Further experimentation showed that early/late fusion of the channels in the representations did not affect the accuracies in a significant way. The data augmentation that was used for the CNN training improved the classification accuracies, but more real training instances (especially coniferous) likely results in much stronger improvements. Leaf-off LiDAR data were the primary source of useful information, which is likely due to the perennial nature of coniferous foliage. LiDAR intensity values also proved to be useful, but normalization yielded no significant improvement. As we observed, large training data may compensate for the lack of a subset of important domain data. Lastly, the classification accuracies of overstory trees (~90%) were more balanced than those of understory trees (~90% deciduous and ~65% coniferous), which is likely due to the incomplete capture of understory tree crowns via airborne LiDAR. In domains like remote sensing and biomedical imaging, where the data contain a large amount of information and are not friendly to human visual system, human-designed features may become suboptimal. As exemplified by this study, automatic, objective derivation of optimal features via deep learning can improve prediction tasks in such domains.

Extracting urban landmarks from geographical datasets using a random forests classifier / Yue Lin in International journal of geographical information science IJGIS, vol 33 n°12 (December 2019)

However, the current landmark extraction methods mainly focus on the visual salience of landmarks and are insufficient for obtaining high extraction accuracy when the size of the geographical dataset varies. This study introduces a random forests (RF) classifier combining with the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) in urban landmark extraction. Both GIS and social sensing data are employed to quantify the structural and cognitive salience of the examined urban features, which are available from basic spatial databases or mainstream web service application programming interfaces (APIs). The results show that the SMOTE-RF model performs well in urban landmark extraction, with the values of recall, precision, F-measure and AUC reaching 0.851, 0.831, 0.841 and 0.841, respectively. Additionally, this method is suitable for both large and small geographical datasets. The ranking of variable importance given by this model further indicates that certain cognitive measures – such as feature class, Weibo popularity and Bing popularity – can serve as crucial factors for determining a landmark. The optimal variable combination for landmark extraction is also acquired, which might provide support for eliminating the variable selection requirement in other landmark extraction methods.

Matching of TerraSAR-X derived ground control points to optical image patches using deep learning / Tatjana Bürgmann in ISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing, Vol 158 (December 2019)  

Public [article]  inISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing > Vol 158 (December 2019) . - pp 241 - 248 Titre : Matching of TerraSAR-X derived ground control points to optical image patches using deep learning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Tatjana Bürgmann, Auteur ; Wolfgang Koppe, Auteur ; Michael Schmitt, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 241 - 248 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image mixte [Termes descripteurs IGN] appariement d'images [Termes descripteurs IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes descripteurs IGN] classification par réseau neuronal convolutif [Termes descripteurs IGN] géolocalisation [Termes descripteurs IGN] image multicapteur [Termes descripteurs IGN] image optique [Termes descripteurs IGN] image Pléiades [Termes descripteurs IGN] image radar moirée [Termes descripteurs IGN] image Sentinel-MSI [Termes descripteurs IGN] image Sentinel-SAR [Termes descripteurs IGN] image TerraSAR-X [Termes descripteurs IGN] point d'appui Résumé : (auteur) High resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites like TerraSAR-X are capable of acquiring images exhibiting an absolute geolocation accuracy within a few centimeters, mainly because of the availability of precise orbit information and by compensating range delay errors due to atmospheric conditions. In contrast, satellite images from optical missions generally exhibit comparably low geolocation accuracies because of the propagation of errors in angular measurements over large distances. However, a variety of remote sensing applications, such as change detection, surface movement monitoring or ice flow measurements, require precisely geo-referenced and co-registered satellite images. By using Ground Control Points (GCPs) derived from TerraSAR-X, the absolute geolocation accuracy of optical satellite images can be improved. For this purpose, the corresponding matching points in the optical images need to be localized. In this paper, a deep learning based approach is investigated for an automated matching of SAR-derived GCPs to optical image elements. Therefore, a convolutional neural network is pretrained with medium resolution Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery and fine-tuned on precisely co-registered TerraSAR-X and Pléiades training image pairs to learn a common descriptor representation. By using these descriptors, the similarity of SAR and optical image patches can be calculated. This similarity metric is then used in a sliding window approach to identify the matching points in the optical reference image. Subsequently, the derived points can be utilized for co-registration of the underlying images. The network is evaluated over nine study areas showing airports and their rural surroundings from several different countries around the world. The results show that based on TerraSAR-X-derived GCPs, corresponding points in the optical image can automatically and reliably be identified with a pixel-level localization accuracy.
