Hazy images can be the cause of serious errors in many computer vision systems. Consequently, image haze removal has practical significance for real-world applications. In this study, we first analyze the inherent weaknesses of the atmospheric scattering model and propose an improvement to address those weaknesses. Then, we present a fast image haze removal algorithm based on the improved model. In our proposed method, the input image is partitioned into several scenes based on the haze thickness. Next, averaging and erosion operations calculate the rough scene luminance map in a scene-wise manner. We obtain the rough scene transmission map by maximizing the contrast in each scene and then develop a way to gently remove the haze using an adaptive method for adjusting scene transmission based on scene features. In addition, we propose a guided total variation model for edge optimization, so as to prevent from the block effect as well as to eliminate the negative effect from the wrong scene segmentation results. The experimental results demonstrate that our method is effective in solving a series of common problems, including uneven illuminance, overenhanced and oversaturated images, and so forth. Moreover, our method outperforms most current dehazing algorithms in terms of visual effects, universality, and processing speed.

In this research, we apply HOI delay corrections to the Crustal Movement Observation Network of China’s (CMONOC) data processing (from January 2000 to December 2013) and furnish quantitative results for the effects of HOI on CMONOC coordinate time series. The results for both a regional reference frame and global reference frame are analyzed and compared to clarify the HOI effects on the CMONOC network. We find that HOI corrections can effectively reduce the semi-annual signals in the northern and vertical components. For sites with lower semi-annual amplitudes, the average decrease in magnitude can reach 30 and 10 % for the northern and vertical components, respectively. The noise amplitudes with HOI corrections and those without HOI corrections are not significantly different. Generally, the HOI effects on CMONOC networks in a global reference frame are less obvious than the results in the regional reference frame, probably because the HOI-induced errors are smaller in comparison to the higher noise levels seen when using a global reference frame. Furthermore, we investigate the combined contributions of environmental loading and HOI effects on the CMONOC stations. The largest loading effects on the vertical displacement are found in the mid- to high-latitude areas. The weighted root mean square differences between the corrected and original weekly GPS height time series of the loading model indicate that the mass loading adequately reduced the scatter on the CMONOC height time series, whereas the results in the global reference frame showed better agreements between the GPS coordinate time series and the environmental loading. When combining the effects of environmental loading and HOI corrections, the results with the HOI corrections reduced the scatter on the observed GPS height coordinates better than the height when estimated without HOI corrections, and the combined solutions in the regional reference frame indicate more preferred improvements. Therefore, regional reference frames are recommended to investigate the HOI effects on regional networks.

Improved ambiguity resolution for URTK with dynamic atmosphere constraints / Weiming Tang in Journal of geodesy, vol 90 n° 12 (December 2016)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 90 n° 12 (December 2016) . - pp 1359 - 1369 Titre : Improved ambiguity resolution for URTK with dynamic atmosphere constraints Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Weiming Tang, Auteur ; Wenjian Liu, Auteur ; Xuan Zou, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : pp 1359 - 1369 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes descripteurs IGN] correction ionosphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] effet atmosphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes descripteurs IGN] précision du positionnement [Termes descripteurs IGN] résidu [Termes descripteurs IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté Résumé : (Auteur) Raw observation processing method with prior knowledge of ionospheric delay could strengthen the ambiguity resolution (AR), but it does not make full use of the relatively longer wavelength of wide-lane (WL) observation. Furthermore, the accuracy of calculated atmospheric delays from the regional augmentation information has quite different in quality, while the atmospheric constraint used in the current methods is usually set to an empirical value. A proper constraint, which matches the accuracy of calculated atmospheric delays, can most effectively compensate the residual systematic biases caused by large inter-station distances. Therefore, the standard deviation of the residual atmospheric parameters should be fine-tuned. This paper presents an atmosphere-constrained AR method for undifferenced network RTK (URTK) rover, whose ambiguities are sequentially fixed according to their wavelengths. Furthermore, this research systematically analyzes the residual atmospheric error and finds that it mainly varies along the positional relationship between the rover and the chosen reference stations. More importantly, its ionospheric part of certain location will also be cyclically influenced every day. Therefore, the standard deviation of residual ionospheric error can be modeled by a daily repeated cosine or other functions with the help of data one day before, and applied by rovers as pseudo-observation. With the data collected at 29 stations from a continuously operating reference station network in Guangdong Province (GDCORS) in China, the efficiency of the proposed approach is confirmed by improving the success and error rates of AR for 10-20 % compared to that of the WL-L1-IF one, as well as making much better positioning accuracy.

Monitoring and prediction of precipitable water vapor using GPS data in Turkey / Kutubuddin Ansari in Journal of applied geodesy, vol 10 n° 4 (December 2016)

Precipitable water vapor (PWV) is a vital component of the atmosphere and significantly influences atmospheric processes like rainfall and atmospheric temperature. The developing networks of continuously operating GPS can be used to efficiently estimate PWV. The Turkish Permanent GPS Network (TPGN) is employed to monitor PWV information in Turkey. This work primarily aims to derive long-term data of PWV by using atmospheric path delays observed through continuously operating TPGN from November 2014 to October 2015. A least square mathematical approach was then applied to establish the relation of the observed PWV to rainfall and temperature. The modeled PWV was correlated with PWV estimated from GPS data, with an average correlation of 67.10 %–88.60 %. The estimated root mean square error (RMSE) varied from 2.840 to 6.380, with an average of 4.697. Finally, data of TPGN, rainfall, and temperature were obtained for less than 2 months (November 2015 to December 2015) and assessed to validate the mathematical model. This study provides a basis for determining PWV by using rainfall and temperature data.

A global study of NDVI difference among moderate-resolution satellite sensors / Xingwang Fan in ISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing, vol 121 (November 2016)

In the form of NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), these data greatly benefit environmental studies. However, their usefulness is compromised by sensor differences. This study investigates the global NDVI difference and its spatio-temporal patterns among typical moderate-resolution sensors, as supported by state-of-the-art remote sensing derived products. Our study demonstrates that the atmosphere plays a secondary role to LULC (Land Use/Land Cover) in inter-sensor NDVI differences. With reference to AVHRR/3, AVHRR/1 and 2 exhibit negative NDVI biases for vegetated land cover types. In summer (July), the area of negative bias shifts northward, and the magnitude increases in the Northern Hemisphere. For most LULC types, the bias generally shifts in the negative direction from winter (January) to summer. A linear regression of the NDVI difference versus NDVI shows a close correlation between the slope value and vegetation phenology. Overall, NDVI differences are controlled by LULC type and vegetation phenology. Our study can be used to generate a long-term, consistent NDVI data set from composite MODIS and AVHRR NDVI data. LULC-dependent and temporally variable correction equations are recommended to reduce inter-sensor NDVI differences.
