Global Navigation Satellite System interferometric reflectometry (GNSS-IR) has been applied to accurately monitor snow height (SH) with low cost and high temporal–spatial resolution. We proposed an improved GNSS-IR method using detrended signal-to-noise ratio (δSNR) arcs corresponding to multipath reflection tracks with different azimuths. After using wavelet decomposition and random sample consensus, noise with various frequencies for SNR arcs and outliers of reflector height (RH) estimations have been sequentially mitigated to enhance the availability of the proposed method. Thus, a height datum based on the ground RHs retrieved from multi-GNSS SNR data is established to compensate for the influence of topography variation with different azimuths in SH retrieval. The approximately 3-month δSNR datasets collected from three stations deployed on sloping topography were used to retrieve SH and compared with the existing method and in situ measurements. The results show that the root mean square errors of the retrievals derived from the proposed method for the three sites are between 4 and 8 cm, and the corresponding correlation surpasses 0.95 when compared to the reference SH datasets. Additionally, we compare the performance of a retrieval with the existing GNSS-IR Web App, and it shows an improvement in RMSE of about 7 cm. Furthermore, because topography variation has been considered, the average correction of SH retrievals is between 2 and 4 cm. The solution with the proposed method helps develop the applications of the GNSS-IR technique on complex topography.

Predicting the variability in pedestrian travel rates and times using crowdsourced GPS data / Michael J. Campbell in Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, vol 97 (October 2022)

However, the relationship between pedestrian movement and landscape conditions is highly variable between individuals, making it difficult to estimate how long it will take broad populations to get from one location to another on foot. Although functions exist for predicting travel rates, they typically oversimplify the inherent variability of pedestrian travel by assuming the effects of landscapes on movement are universal. In this study, we present an approach for predicting the variability in pedestrian travel rates and times using a large, crowdsourced database of GPS tracks. Acquired from the outdoor recreation website AllTrails, these tracks represent nearly 2000 hikes on a diverse range of trails in Utah and California, USA. We model travel rates as a function of the slope of the terrain by generating a series of non-linear percentile models from the 2.5 th to the 97.5 th by 2.5 percentiles. The 50 th percentile model, representing the hiking speed of the typical individual, demonstrates marked improvement over existing slope-travel rate functions when compared to an independent test dataset. Our results demonstrate novel capacity to estimate travel time variability, with modeled percentiles being able to predict actual percentiles with less than 10% error. Travel rate functions can also be applied to least cost path analysis to provide variability in travel times.

The accessibility of satellite imagery and the availability of various satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) techniques have provided a cost-effective alternative to traditional in-situ bathymetric surveys. Furthermore, improved algorithms and the advancement of machine learning models have provided opportunity for higher quality bathymetric derivations. However, to date the relative accuracy and performance between traditional physics-based techniques, improved physics-based methods, and machine learning ensemble models have not been adequately quantified. In this study, nearshore bathymetry is derived from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery near La Parguera, Puerto Rico utilizing a traditional band-ratio algorithm, a band-ratio switching method, a random forest machine learning model, and the XGBoost machine learning model. The machine learning models returned comparable results and were markedly more accurate relative to other techniques; however, both machine learning models required an extensive training dataset. All models were constrained by environmental influences and image spatial resolution, which were assessed to be the limiting factors for routine use of satellite-derived bathymetry as a reliable method for hydrographic surveying.

Discontinuity interpretation and identification of potential rockfalls for high-steep slopes based on UAV nap-of-the-object photogrammetry / Wei Wang in Computers & geosciences, vol 166 (September 2022)  

Public [article]  inComputers & geosciences > vol 166 (September 2022) . - n° 105191 Titre : Discontinuity interpretation and identification of potential rockfalls for high-steep slopes based on UAV nap-of-the-object photogrammetry Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Wei Wang ; Wenbo Zhao, Auteur ; Bo Chai, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 105191 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Photogrammétrie numérique [Termes IGN] Chine [Termes IGN] discontinuité [Termes IGN] éboulement [Termes IGN] extraction de données [Termes IGN] front rocheux [Termes IGN] image à haute résolution [Termes IGN] image captée par drone [Termes IGN] matrice [Termes IGN] pente [Termes IGN] photogrammétrie aérienne [Termes IGN] profondeur [Termes IGN] risque naturel [Termes IGN] semis de points [Termes IGN] texture d'image Résumé : (auteur) Discontinuity extraction and interpretation of fractured masses is of high importance when analyzing rock slope stability. Regarding high-steep slopes, which are areas that are difficult to reach, traditional methods to obtain discontinuities, such as the sample window method (SWM), are unlikely to be implemented, resulting in challenges for the identification of potential rockfalls. With the development of the unmanned ariel vehicle (UAV) technology, discontinuity extraction can overcome by noncontact photogrammetry. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive and practical solutions to fulfill rockfall identification from field investigation to in-door analysis. For this purpose, a practical case study was carried out in Wanzhou, Chongqing, China, where a 400 m vertical rock slope prone to rockfall was collected as a typical example. The centimeter-level 3D Textured Digital Outcrop Model (TDOM) and dense Point Cloud (PC) were established using high-resolution photos acquired by nap-of-the-object photogrammetry. The discontinuity of the fractured mass was interpreted by fully taking advantage of both 2D images (texture information-dominated) and 3D PCs (depth information-dominated). Furthermore, a new parameter rock cavity rate (RCR) and the corresponding semiautomatic extraction method based on point clouds are proposed. Subsequently, the possibility of various failure modes and their joint combinations were determined by kinematic analysis. Finally, the rock slope stability was determined using a matrix that considers the slope mass rating (SMR) value and the parameter RCR. The proposed process flow and relevant techniques in this study provide an operable and practical solution for further application regarding discontinuity interpretation and potential rockfall identification on high-steep slopes.

Soot deposition also induces algal growth, which further decreases snow and ice albedo. In recent years, increasingly severe and widespread wildfire activity has occurred in western Canada in association with climate change. In the summers of 2017 and 2018, westerly winds transported smoke from extensive record-breaking wildfires in British Columbia eastward to the Canadian Rockies, where substantial amounts of soot were deposited on high mountain glaciers, snowfields, and icefields. Several studies have addressed the problem of soot deposition on snow and ice, but the spatiotemporal resolution applied has not been compatible with studying mountain icefields that are extensive but contain substantial internal variability and have dynamical albedos. This study evaluates spatial patterns in the albedo decrease and net shortwave radiation (K*) increase caused by soot from intense wildfires in Western Canada deposited on the Columbia Icefield (151 km2), Canadian Rockies, during 2017 and 2018. Twelve Sentinel-2 images were used to generate high spatial resolution albedo retrievals during four summers (2017 to 2020) using a MODIS bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model, which was employed to model the snow and ice reflectance anisotropy. Remote sensing estimates were evaluated using site-measured albedo on the icefield's Athabasca Glacier tongue, resulting in a R2, mean bias, and root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.68, 0.019, and 0.026, respectively. The biggest inter-annual spatially averaged soot-induced albedo declines were of 0.148 and 0.050 (2018 to 2020) for southeast-facing glaciers and the snow plateau, respectively. The highest inter-annual spatially-averaged soot-induced shortwave radiative forcing was 203 W/m2 for southeast-facing glaciers (2018 to 2020) and 106 W/m2 for the snow plateau (2017 to 2020). These findings indicate that snow albedo responded rapidly to and recovered rapidly from soot deposition. However, ice albedo remained low the year after fire, and this was likely related to a bio-albedo feedback involving microorganisms. Snow and ice K* were highest during low albedo years, especially for south-facing glaciers. These large-scale effects accelerated melt of the Columbia Icefield. The findings highlight the importance of using large-area high spatial resolution albedo estimates to analyze the effect of wildfire soot deposition on snow and ice albedo and K* on icefields, which is not possible using other approaches.
