In France, forests are managed mainly by private owners and divided into small stands, requiring 10 to 50 m spatial resolution data to be correctly separated. Further, 35 % of the French forest territory is covered by mountains and Mediterranean forests which are managed very extensively. In this work, we used a deep-learning model based on multi-stream remote sensing measurements (NASA’s GEDI LiDAR mission and ESA’s Copernicus Sentinel 1 & 2 satellites) to create a 10 m resolution canopy height map of France for 2020 (FORMS-H). In a second step, with allometric equations fitted to the French National Forest Inventory (NFI) plot data, we created a 30 m resolution above-ground biomass density (AGBD) map (Mg ha-1) of France (FORMS-B). Extensive validation was conducted. First, independent datasets from Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) and NFI data from thousands of plots reveal a mean absolute error (MAE) of 2.94 m for FORMS-H, which outperforms existing canopy height models. Second, FORMS-B was validated using two independent forest inventory datasets from the Renecofor permanent forest plot network and from the GLORIE forest inventory with MAE of 59.6 Mg ha-1 and 19.6 Mg.ha-1 respectively, providing greater performance than other AGBD products sampled over France. These results highlight the importance of coupling remote sensing technologies with recent advances in computer science to bring material insights to climate-efficient forest management policies. Additionally, our approach is based on open-access data having global coverage and a high spatial and temporal resolution, making the maps reproducible and easily scalable.

Optimized position estimation in mobile multipath environments using machine learning / Nesreen I. Ziedan in Navigation : journal of the Institute of navigation, vol 70 n° 2 (Summer 2023)

A moving receiver faces additional challenges because it needs to adjust to changes in the statuses of the signals received, including line-of-sight (LOS), multipath, non-LOS, or invisible. This paper proposes two new algorithms that can be used to enhance the accuracy of a moving receiver. The first algorithm is called Optimized Position Estimation (OPE). The OPE algorithm estimates the most likely paths and identifies the one with the optimal weight. The second algorithm is called Intelligent Signal Status Estimation (ISE). The ISE algorithm utilizes a self-organizing map machine-learning algorithm to estimate the probability of a change in signal status. The algorithms are tested using global positioning system C/A signals, which have over 50 changes in their statuses. The results obtained using these algorithms reveal that the accuracy is enhanced by as much as 96.3% (i.e., a 27-fold improvement) when compared to results using a conventional navigation algorithm.

Deblurring low-light images with events / Chu Zhou in International journal of computer vision, vol 131 n° 5 (May 2023)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of computer vision > vol 131 n° 5 (May 2023) . - pp 1284 - 1298 Titre : Deblurring low-light images with events Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Chu Zhou, Auteur ; Minggui Teng, Auteur ; Jin Han, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : pp 1284 - 1298 Note générale : bilbiographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] caméra d'événement [Termes IGN] correction d'image [Termes IGN] filtrage du bruit [Termes IGN] flou [Termes IGN] image à basse résolution [Termes IGN] image RVB Résumé : (auteur) Modern image-based deblurring methods usually show degenerate performance in low-light conditions since the images often contain most of the poorly visible dark regions and a few saturated bright regions, making the amount of effective features that can be extracted for deblurring limited. In contrast, event cameras can trigger events with a very high dynamic range and low latency, which hardly suffer from saturation and naturally encode dense temporal information about motion. However, in low-light conditions existing event-based deblurring methods would become less robust since the events triggered in dark regions are often severely contaminated by noise, leading to inaccurate reconstruction of the corresponding intensity values. Besides, since they directly adopt the event-based double integral model to perform pixel-wise reconstruction, they can only handle low-resolution grayscale active pixel sensor images provided by the DAVIS camera, which cannot meet the requirement of daily photography. In this paper, to apply events to deblurring low-light images robustly, we propose a unified two-stage framework along with a motion-aware neural network tailored to it, reconstructing the sharp image under the guidance of high-fidelity motion clues extracted from events. Besides, we build an RGB-DAVIS hybrid camera system to demonstrate that our method has the ability to deblur high-resolution RGB images due to the natural advantages of our two-stage framework. Experimental results show our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on both synthetic and real-world images.

Transform paper-based cadastral data into digital systems using GIS and end-to-end deep learning techniques / Joseph Mango in International journal of geographical information science IJGIS, vol 37 n° 5 (May 2023)

The adoption of such systems is ubiquitous, but when adopted, they create two non-compatible systems with paper-based cadastral systems whose information needs to be digitised. This study proposes a new approach that is fast and accurate for transforming paper-based cadastral data into digital systems. The proposed method involves deep-learning techniques of the LCNN and ResNet-50 for detecting cadastral parcels and their numbers, respectively, from the cadastral plans. It also contains four functions defined to speed up transformations and compilations of the cadastral plan’s data in digital systems. The LCNN is trained and validated with 968 samples. The ResNet-50 is trained and validated with 106,000 samples. The Structural-Average-Precision (sAP10) achieved with the LCNN was 0.9057. The Precision, Recall and F1-Score achieved with the ResNet-50 were 0.9650, 0.9648 and 0.9649, respectively. These results confirmed that the new method is accurate enough for implementation, and we tested it with a huge set of data from Tanzania. Its performance from the experimented data shows that the proposed method could effectively transform paper-based cadastral data into digital systems.

Improvement in crop mapping from satellite image time series by effectively supervising deep neural networks / Sina Mohammadi in ISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing, vol 198 (April 2023)

A challenge still remains on how to better learn discriminative feature representations to detect crop types when the model is applied to unseen data. To address this challenge and reveal the importance of proper supervision of deep neural networks in improving performance, we propose to supervise intermediate layers of a designed 3D Fully Convolutional Neural Network (FCN) by employing two middle supervision methods: Cross-entropy loss Middle Supervision (CE-MidS) and a novel middle supervision method, namely Supervised Contrastive loss Middle Supervision (SupCon-MidS). This method pulls together features belonging to the same class in embedding space, while pushing apart features from different classes. We demonstrate that SupCon-MidS enhances feature discrimination and clustering throughout the network, thereby improving the network performance. In addition, we employ two output supervision methods, namely F1 loss and Intersection Over Union (IOU) loss. Our experiments on identifying corn, soybean, and the class Other from Landsat image time series in the U.S. corn belt show that the best set-up of our method, namely IOU+SupCon-MidS, is able to outperform the state-of-the-art methods by scores of 3.5% and 0.5% on average when testing its accuracy across a different year (local test) and different regions (spatial test), respectively. Further, adding SupCon-MidS to the output supervision methods improves scores by 1.2% and 7.6% on average in local and spatial tests, respectively. We conclude that proper supervision of deep neural networks plays a significant role in improving crop mapping performance.
