Results show the potential to use structural attributes as a surrogate for species richness of most of the analyzed taxonomic and functional groups. This information can be transferred to large-scale forest inventories to support biodiversity monitoring. Context: We are currently facing a dramatic loss in biodiversity worldwide and this initiated many monitoring programs aiming at documenting further trends. However, monitoring species diversity directly is very resource demanding, in particular in highly diverse forest ecosystems. Aims: We investigated whether variables applied in an index of stand structural diversity, which was developed based on forest attributes assessed in the German National Forest Inventory, can be calibrated against richness of forest-dwelling species within a wide range of taxonomic and functional groups. Methods: We used information on forest structure and species richness that has been comprehensively assessed on 150 forest plots of the German biodiversity exploratories project, comprising a large range of management intensities in three regions. We tested, whether the forest structure index calculated for these forest plots well correlate with the number of species across 29 taxonomic and functional groups, assuming that the structural attributes applied in the index represent their habitat requirements. Results: The strength of correlations between the structural variables applied in the index and number of species within taxonomic or functional groups was highly variable. For some groups such as Aves, Formicidae or vascular plants, structural variables had a high explanatory power for species richness across forest types. Species richness in other taxonomic and functional groups (e.g., soil and root-associated fungi) was not explained by individual structural attributes of the index. Results indicate that some taxonomic and functional groups depend on a high structural diversity, whereas others seem to be insensitive to it or even prefer structurally poor stands. Conclusion: Therefore, combinations of forest stands with different degrees of structural diversity most likely optimize taxonomic diversity at the landscape level. Our results can support biodiversity monitoring through quantification of forest structure in large-scale forest inventories. Changes in structural variables over inventory periods can indicate changes in habitat quality for individual taxonomic groups and thus points towards national forest inventories being an effective tool to detect unintended effects of changes in forest management on biodiversity.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, several studies started to use satellite measurements to evaluate changes in air quality in many different regions worldwide. However, although satellite data is continuously validated, it is known that its accuracy may vary between monitored areas, requiring regionalized quality assessments. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate whether satellites could measure changes in the air quality of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, during the COVID-19 outbreak; and to verify the relationship between satellite-based data [Tropospheric NO2 column density and Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD)] and ground-based concentrations [NO2 and particulate material (PM; coarse: PM10 and fine: PM2.5)]. For this purpose, tropospheric NO2 obtained from the TROPOMI sensor and AOD retrieved from MODIS sensor data by using the Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) algorithm were compared with concentrations obtained from 50 automatic ground monitoring stations. The results showed low correlations between PM and AOD. For PM10, most stations showed correlations lower than 0.2, which were not significant. The results for PM2.5 were similar, but some stations showed good correlations for specific periods (before or during the COVID-19 outbreak). Satellite-based Tropospheric NO2 proved to be a good predictor for NO2 concentrations at ground level. Considering all stations with NO2 measurements, correlations >0.6 were observed, reaching 0.8 for specific stations and periods. In general, it was observed that regions with a more industrialized profile had the best correlations, in contrast with rural areas. In addition, it was observed about 57% reductions in tropospheric NO2 throughout the state of São Paulo during the COVID-19 outbreak. Variations in air pollutants were linked to the region economic vocation, since there were reductions in industrialized areas (at least 50% of the industrialized areas showed >20% decrease in NO2) and increases in areas with farming and livestock characteristics (about 70% of those areas showed increase in NO2). Our results demonstrate that Tropospheric NO2 column densities can serve as good predictors of NO2 concentrations at ground level. For MAIAC-AOD, a weak relationship was observed, requiring the evaluation of other possible predictors to describe the relationship with PM. Thus, it is concluded that regionalized assessment of satellite data accuracy is essential for assertive estimates on a regional/local level. Good quality information retrieved at specific polluted areas does not assure a worldwide use of remote sensor data.

Flood vulnerability assessment of urban buildings based on integrating high-resolution remote sensing and street view images / Ziyao Xing in Sustainable Cities and Society, vol 92 (May 2023)  

Public [article]  inSustainable Cities and Society > vol 92 (May 2023) . - n° 104467 Titre : Flood vulnerability assessment of urban buildings based on integrating high-resolution remote sensing and street view images Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ziyao Xing, Auteur ; Shuai Yang, Auteur ; Xuli Zan, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 104467 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] attention (apprentissage automatique) [Termes IGN] bâtiment [Termes IGN] Chine [Termes IGN] gestion des risques [Termes IGN] image Streetview [Termes IGN] inondation [Termes IGN] milieu urbain [Termes IGN] planification urbaine [Termes IGN] Quickbird [Termes IGN] segmentation sémantique [Termes IGN] vulnérabilité Résumé : (auteur) Urban flood risk management requires an extensive investigation of the vulnerability characteristics of buildings. Large-scale field surveys usually cost a lot of time and money, while satellite remote sensing and street view images can provide information on the tops and facades of buildings respectively. Thereupon, this paper develops a building vulnerability assessment framework using remote sensing and street view features. Specifically, a UNet-based semantic segmentation model, FSA-UNet (Fusion-Self-Attention-UNet) is proposed to integrate remote sensing and street view features and the vulnerability information contained in the images is fully exploited. And the building vulnerability index is generated to provide the spatial distribution characteristics of urban building vulnerability. The experiment shows that the mIoU of the proposed model can reach 82% for building vulnerability classification in Hefei, China, which is more accurate than the traditional semantic segmentation models. The results indicate that the integration of street view and remote sensing image features can improve the ability of building vulnerability assessment, and the model proposed in this study can better capture the correlation features of multi-angle images through the self-attention mechanism and combines hierarchy features and edge information to improve the classification effect. This study can support for disaster management and urban planning.

An improved MCDM combined with GIS for risk assessment of multi-hazards in Hong Kong / Hai-Min Lyu in Sustainable Cities and Society, vol 91 (April 2023)  

Public [article]  inSustainable Cities and Society > vol 91 (April 2023) . - n° 104427 Titre : An improved MCDM combined with GIS for risk assessment of multi-hazards in Hong Kong Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Hai-Min Lyu, Auteur ; Zhen-Yu Yin, Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 104427 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Analyse spatiale [Termes IGN] analyse multicritère [Termes IGN] Hong-Kong [Termes IGN] processus de hiérarchisation analytique floue [Termes IGN] risque naturel [Termes IGN] système d'information géographique [Termes IGN] zone à risque Résumé : (auteur) Hong Kong frequently suffers from multi-hazards such as floods, muddy-water flows and landslides induced by rainstorms. This study presents an improved multi criteria decision making (MCDM) approach with integrating the interval numbers into fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) to assess multi-hazard risks. To illustrate the efficiency of the improved MCDM method, the AHP, interval-FAHP and analytical network process (ANP) were incorporated into a geographical information system (GIS, abbreviated as AHP-GIS, interval-FAHP-GIS, and ANP-GIS) to assess the risks of multi-hazards (e.g., floods, muddy-water flows, and landslides) in Hong Kong. The assessed multi-risks indicated that the percentages of areas with a high risk of flood, muddy-water flow, and landslide were more than 15%, 17%, and 18%, respectively. The results demonstrated that MCDM methods considered multi-criteria contributions on multi hazards. Different assessment factors contributed different importance on different multi-hazard risks. The comparison indicates that interval-FAHP-GIS perform better than AHP-GIS and ANP-GIS in capturing high-risk areas. The interval-FAHP-GIS method adopts interval fuzzy numbers instead of crisp numbers in AHP-GIS to reflect the degree of importance of assessment factors, which increases the accuracy of the assessed multi-risks.

Automatic detection of thin oil films on water surfaces in ultraviolet imagery / Ming Xie in Photogrammetric record, vol 38 n° 181 (March 2023)  

Public [article]  inPhotogrammetric record > vol 38 n° 181 (March 2023) . - pp 47 - 62 Titre : Automatic detection of thin oil films on water surfaces in ultraviolet imagery Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ming Xie, Auteur ; Xiurui Zhang, Auteur ; Ying Li, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : pp 47 - 62 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] détection automatique [Termes IGN] filtre optique [Termes IGN] hydrocarbure [Termes IGN] image AVIRIS [Termes IGN] marée noire [Termes IGN] niveau de gris (image) [Termes IGN] rayonnement ultraviolet [Termes IGN] segmentation d'image [Termes IGN] seuillage binaire [Termes IGN] surface de la mer Résumé : (auteur) Among the various remote sensing technologies that have been applied to monitor oil spills on the sea surface, passive ultraviolet (UV) imaging is a controversial one that has raised some disputes in the community of oil spill remote sensing. As a result, the research and applications of oil spill detection using passive UV imaging have not been as developed as other methods. In order to clarify some existing questions on oil spill detection using passive UV remote sensing technology, this paper discusses the needs of thin oil film detection, examines the feasibility of thin oil film detection using passive UV imaging through field experiments under controlled conditions and validates it with the UV imagery derived from the airborne visible/infrared imaging spectrometer (AVIRIS) observation of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Two types of fully automatic models are designed to extract the thin oil films on the water surface: (1) a binary classification model based on an adaptive threshold; (2) an unsupervised image segmentation model based on image clustering and greyscale histogram analysis. The two models are tested on the UV imagery obtained through both field experiments and AVIRIS observations. The results indicate that the binary classification model can extract the thin oil films with reasonable accuracy under stable imaging conditions, while the unsupervised image clustering model can robustly detect the thin oil films at the cost of higher computational complexity. These results infer that passive UV imaging is an effective way to detect thin oil films and could be applied to provide early warning at the beginning stage of oil spills and reduce further damage. It may also be applied as a supplementary method for oil spill detection to achieve comprehensive oil spill monitoring.
