As a data-adaptive method, SSA is capable of extracting signals with non-constant phase and amplitudes. Although SSA is a competent method in the presence of white noise, the contribution of colored noise, having semi-periodic behavior, degrades its performance. Parts of colored noise can be absorbed in the SSA eigenmodes, which specifies signals and hence resulting in spurious modulation or losing significant signals. Signals and colored noise are thus to be discriminated in the signal identification procedure. Monte Carlo SSA (MCSSA) in its original formulation, providing a significance test against the AR(1) noise null hypothesis, can be misinterpreted when other colored noise structures contribute to the series. We propose an algorithm for MCSSA that is not limited to the AR(1) noise hypothesis. It estimates the noise model parameters using LS-VCE and generates the surrogate data using the Cholesky decomposition. The algorithm is adapted to GPS position time series where the underlying noise is a combination of white noise and flicker noise. GPS position time series, postulated real situation, are first simulated to include annual and semiannual signals plus white and flicker noise. The results indicate that MCSSA can extract the annual and semiannual signals with 2.11 and 1.25 mm amplitudes (the global mean values) from 20-year-long time series, with 95% confidence level, if flicker noise is less than 17 and 13 mm/year1/4mm/year1/4, respectively. The longer the time series or the stronger the signals are, the higher these thresholds will be. This conclusion is also verified when applying MCSSA to the up component of GPS position time series of 347 JPL stations.

Although these developments offer new opportunities for accurate land use analysis and change detection, cloud and terrain shadows actually limit benefits and possibilities of modern sensors. Focusing on the problem of shadow detection and removal in VHR color images, the paper proposes new solutions and analyses how they can enhance common unsupervised classification procedures for identifying land use classes related to the CO2 absorption. To this aim, an improved fully automatic procedure has been developed for detecting image shadows using exclusively RGB color information, and avoiding user interaction. Results show a significant accuracy enhancement with respect to similar methods using RGB based indexes. Furthermore, novel solutions derived from Procrustes analysis have been applied to remove shadows and restore brightness in the images. In particular, two methods implementing the so called “anisotropic Procrustes” and the “not-centered oblique Procrustes” algorithms have been developed and compared with the linear correlation correction method based on the Cholesky decomposition. To assess how shadow removal can enhance unsupervised classifications, results obtained with classical methods such as k-means, maximum likelihood, and self-organizing maps, have been compared to each other and with a supervised clustering procedure.

Traditionally, for each data set (satellite, airborne, terrestrial) dedicated data processing schemes have been developed using different estimation principles, parametrisations, etc. The optimal combination of different data sets would benefit of a methodology that can be used for any type of data. Elements of this methodology comprise a uniform parametrisation, estimation principle, data weighting scheme, regularisation, and error propagation. In the framework of this thesis, such a methodology is developed. It uses radial basis functions (RBFs) as parametrisation. They have parameters that allow us to tune their approximation properties as function of the data coverage and distribution and the signal variations. This makes them equally well suited for global and local parametrisation. Moreover, there exists an analytical relationship between a spherical harmonic representation and a radial basis function representation, which allows the latter to be transformed into the former, without any approximation error. Among others, this has the advantage that one can make use of existing processing tools, such as spectral analysis. Although radial basis functions are not new in gravity field modelling, there are many important issues which have not yet been addressed or require further research. The main research question underlying this thesis is: "Are radial basis functions a suitable parametrisation for global and regional models of the mean and time-variable gravity field, and if so, how do they perform compared with spherical harmonic solutions?" Directly related to this is the question: "Are there situations where radial basis functions models outperform spherical harmonic solutions?" The answer to both questions is positive as will be shown in this thesis. There are two important aspects that determine the quality of a gravity field model based on radial basis functions: 1) the spatial distribution of the radial basis functions, i.e. the basis function network design, and 2) the choice of the bandwidths of the radial basis functions. For both problems, semi-automatic algorithms have been developed. Data-adaptive network design and local refinement avoid respectively over- and under-parametrisation by fine-tuning the basis function network based on the data. The basis function bandwidth is determined by optimising the fit to the data including control data. The computation of regional gravity fields constitutes a considerable numerical workload, especially since the methodology presented here does not use an iterative normal equation solver (e.g., the preconditioned conjugate gradient method). Instead, a Cholesky solver is used, which requires the assembly of the complete normal equation system. For this purpose the program is numerically optimised and fully parallelised for hybrid high performance computer architectures. This guarantees optimal performance on all types of parallel computers and handles the memory requirements. The modelling of satellite data with radial basis functions is investigated using real data of the GRACE satellites collected over the period 2003-2006. An optimal Wiener filter has been developed for radial basis functions in line with the optimal Wiener filter approach previously developed at DEOS for spherical harmonic representations. Monthly GRACE gravity models computed using radial basis function are compared to spherical harmonic models, and validated using independent data provided by the Ice Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat), radar altimetry satellites, and the global hydrological model PCR-GLOBWB. Two applications were considered: 1) mass variations over Greenland and Antarctica and 2) water storage variations in river basins. The results show that the radial basis function approach yields solutions that are of at least the same quality as global models using spherical harmonics. There is evidence that radial basis functions may provide better spatial resolution and more realistic amplitudes in particular in high-latitude areas. For instance, it will be shown that radial basis function solutions detected signal that could not be seen in spherical harmonic solutions. Two test areas are used for regional gravity field modelling using real terrestrial data: An area in the northeastern USA and a larger area in eastern Canada. The results show that the data-adaptivity and local refinement algorithms developed in the framework of this thesis provide good solutions of constant quality regardless of the initially chosen grid spacing. The models are compared to the official regional geoid models GEOID03 and CGG05, respectively. In both cases, rms errors of several centimetres remain, which are attributed to different input data and processing strategies. The combination of satellite and terrestrial data is tested using simulated global and regional data sets. It is shown that a joint inversion of the two data sets yields combined solutions which are significantly better than a solution using the traditional remove-restore approach. The addition of satellite data with the corresponding stochastic model compensates the reduced quality of the terrestrial data at long wavelengths. The examples show that the regional modelling methodology presented here is a very flexible approach that can be applied to all types of gravity data and data distributions, regardless of application, data source, and area size. The quality of the solutions is at least equal to the solutions developed for the stand-alone inversion of individual data sets, while radial basis functions offer numerical benefits. As a result, this approach is already used for marine geoid modelling, and recommended for the modelling of airborne gravity data and data of the GOCE satellite, and for the joint inversion of satellite, airborne and ground-based gravity data.

The characteristics and features of this method are described and results obtained using a software simulator and an emulator are presented to validate its efficiency. The results are then compared to those obtained using another existing method and good performance of the MOCA method in new GNSS systems is shown. Furthermore, the proposed method yields accurate results even when short time spans are used or when there are poor estimations of measurement error, making it immune to non-ideal conditions and ultimately a practical solution for real applications.

Il s'est déroulé dans les locaux de la Société Topographie Informatique sise à Evry. Ce stage s'est articulé autour de deux pôles, à savoir la migration du logiciel de calculs topographiques CALTOPO et le développement d'un module de densification de points afin de rendre les courbes de niveau résultantes plus lisses. La migration de CALTOPO a consister à créer un nouvel outil, dans un environnement nouveau. Ainsi, il passe d'un environnement MS-DOS à un environnement Windows. La nouvelle version est opérationnelle. Densifier un semi de points, par la création d'une surface paramétrée selon cet échantillon, est le principe retenu pour répondre au besoin de lissage des courbes de niveau. En effet, le degré de lissage d'une courbe dépend du nombre de points ayant servi à la générer. Le MNT spline « plaque-mince » est la méthode implémentée. Des travaux de courte durée ont été aussi menés afin d'offrir des solutions informatiques, c'est-à-dire automatisées, à des problèmes de saisie de données.
