The conventional deep convolutional neural networks based methods usually take the amplitude information of single-polarization SAR images as the input to learn hierarchical spatial features automatically, which may have difficulties in discriminating objects with similar texture but discriminative scattering patterns. Our novel deep learning framework, Deep SAR-Net, takes complex-valued SAR images into consideration to learn both spatial texture information and backscattering patterns of objects on the ground. On the one hand, we transfer the detected SAR images pre-trained layers to extract spatial features from intensity images. On the other hand, we dig into the Fourier domain to learn physical properties of the objects by joint time-frequency analysis on complex-valued SAR images. We evaluate the effectiveness of Deep SAR-Net on three complex-valued SAR datasets from Sentinel-1 and TerraSAR-X satellite and demonstrate how it works better than conventional deep CNNs, especially on man-made objects classes. The proposed datasets and the trained Deep SAR-Net model with all codes are provided.

Assessing the quality of ionospheric models through GNSS positioning error: methodology and results / Adria Rovira-Garcia in GPS solutions, vol 24 n° 1 (January 2020)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 24 n° 1 (January 2020) Titre : Assessing the quality of ionospheric models through GNSS positioning error: methodology and results Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Adria Rovira-Garcia, Auteur ; Deimos Ibáñez-Segura, Auteur ; Raül Orús-Pérez, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] erreur de positionnement [Termes descripteurs IGN] International GNSS Service [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] phase [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes descripteurs IGN] retard ionosphèrique [Termes descripteurs IGN] trajet multiple [Termes descripteurs IGN] valeur aberrante Résumé : (Auteur) Single-frequency users of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) must correct for the ionospheric delay. These corrections are available from global ionospheric models (GIMs). Therefore, the accuracy of the GIM is important because the unmodeled or incorrectly part of ionospheric delay contributes to the positioning error of GNSS-based positioning. However, the positioning error of receivers located at known coordinates can be used to infer the accuracy of GIMs in a simple manner. This is why assessment of GIMs by means of the position domain is often used as an alternative to assessments in the ionospheric delay domain. The latter method requires accurate reference ionospheric values obtained from a network solution and complex geodetic modeling. However, evaluations using the positioning error method present several difficulties, as evidenced in recent works, that can lead to inconsistent results compared to the tests using the ionospheric delay domain. We analyze the reasons why such inconsistencies occur, applying both methodologies. We have computed the position of 34 permanent stations for the entire year of 2014 within the last Solar Maximum. The positioning tests have been done using code pseudoranges and carrier-phase leveled (CCL) measurements. We identify the error sources that make it difficult to distinguish the part of the positioning error that is attributable to the ionospheric correction: the measurement noise, pseudorange multipath, evaluation metric, and outliers. Once these error sources are considered, we obtain equivalent results to those found in the ionospheric delay domain assessments. Accurate GIMs can provide single-frequency navigation positioning at the decimeter level using CCL measurements and better positions than those obtained using the dual-frequency ionospheric-free combination of pseudoranges. Finally, some recommendations are provided for further studies of ionospheric models using the position domain method.

Soil and vegetation scattering contributions in L-Band and P-Band polarimetric SAR observations / S. Hamed Alemohammad in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 57 n° 11 (November 2019)

A multi-frequency acquisition system would increase the number of observations that may constrain soil and/or vegetation parameter retrievals. In order to realize this constraint, an understanding of microwaves interaction with the surface and vegetation across frequencies is necessary. Different microwave frequencies have varied interactions with the soil-vegetation medium and increasing penetration into the soil and canopy with the decreasing frequency. In this study, we examine the contributions of different scattering mechanisms to coincident observations from two microwave frequencies (L and P) of airborne synthetic aperture radar instruments. We quantify contributions of surface, vegetation volume, and double-bounce scattering components. Results are analyzed and discussed to guide future multi-frequency retrieval algorithm designs.

Performance of Galileo-only dual-frequency absolute positioning using the fully serviceable Galileo constellation / Tomasz Hadas in GPS solutions, vol 23 n° 4 (October 2019)

In this study, different techniques of dual-frequency absolute positioning using the fully serviceable Galileo constellation are evaluated for the first time and compared to the performance of GPS positioning. The daily static positioning based on the broadcast ephemeris using Galileo pseudoranges is significantly more accurate than the corresponding GPS solutions, obtaining the accuracy of a few decimeters. In the kinematic mode, the accuracy is better than 10 m and 20 m for the horizontal and vertical components, respectively, which is comparable to that of GPS. Precise absolute positioning using pseudorange and carrier phase Galileo observations combined with IGS Real-Time Service (RTS) or Multi-GNSS Experiment products is not yet as good as the corresponding GPS solutions. In the static mode, the root mean squared error (RMSE) between estimated and reference coordinates does not exceed 0.05 m and 0.06 m for the horizontal and vertical components, respectively. In the kinematic mode, the respective accuracies are better than 0.17 m and 0.21 m. Moreover, we show that both GPS and Galileo pseudorange solutions benefit from the RTS when compared to the broadcast solutions with the improvement in the accuracy between 10 and 59%. Remarkable results are achieved for Galileo Precise Point Positioning (PPP) solutions based on the broadcast ephemeris. In the static mode, the RMSE is 0.07 and 0.10 m for the horizontal and vertical components which is three and two times better, respectively, then the corresponding solutions based on GPS.

An analytic expression for the phase noise of the goldstein–werner filter / Scott Hensley in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 57 n° 9 (September 2019)

Repeat pass radar interferometry often uses data with less than ideal correlation levels resulting from either long spatial or temporal baselines or changes between observations leading to high levels of temporal correlation. To maximize the utility of such pairs filtering the interferogram to get maximal noise reduction is often needed. One technique that has proved quite useful in the geophysical community is power spectral or Goldstein–Werner filtering of the interferogram whereby a power-weighted version of the Fourier transform is used to enhance fringe visibility. Although this paper defining the filter briefly touched upon the spatial resolution and noise reduction induced by the filter, it did not provide a useful formula for predicting the phase noise after filtering. This paper derives a formula for the phase noise obtained from power spectral filtering albeit under the restriction of several simplifying assumptions to make the problem analytically tractable. In particular, it is assumed that the interferometric phase is locally well approximated by a linear phase ramp with nonlinear phase perturbations small in a spectral energy sense compared to the linear term.
