Especially, the introduction of deep learning based methods and the accompanying significant improvement in accuracy have greatly increased the popularity of this field. Despite this remarkable development, most of these methods rely on features learned from disparity maps only, neglecting the corresponding 3-dimensional cost volumes. However, conventional hand-crafted methods have already demonstrated that the additional information contained in such cost volumes are beneficial for the task of uncertainty estimation. In this paper, we combine the advantages of deep learning and cost volume based features and present a new Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture to directly learn features for the task of aleatoric uncertainty estimation from volumetric 3D data. Furthermore, we discuss and apply three different uncertainty models to train our CNN without the need to provide ground truth for uncertainty. In an extensive evaluation on three datasets using three common dense stereo matching methods, we investigate the effects of these uncertainty models and demonstrate the generality and state-of-the-art accuracy of the proposed method.

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system acquires accurate point clouds in a fast and environmentally-friendly manner, which enables single tree detection. However, the large number of object categories and occlusion from nearby objects in complex environment pose great challenges in urban tree inventory, resulting in omission or commission errors. Therefore, this paper addresses these challenges and increases the accuracy of individual tree segmentation by proposing an automated method for instance recognition urban roadside trees. The proposed algorithm was implemented of unmanned aerial vehicles laser scanning (UAV-LS) data. First, an improved filtering algorithm was developed to identify ground and non-ground points. Second, we extracted tree-like objects via labeling on non-ground points using a deep learning model with a few smaller modifications. Unlike only concentrating on the global features in previous method, the proposed method revises a pointwise semantic learning network to capture both the global and local information at multiple scales, significantly avoiding the information loss in local neighborhoods and reducing useless convolutional computations. Afterwards, the semantic representation is fed into a graph-structured optimization model, which obtains globally optimal classification results by constructing a weighted indirect graph and solving the optimization problem with graph-cuts. The segmented tree points were extracted and consolidated through a series of operations, and they were finally recognized by combining graph embedding learning with a structure-aware loss function and a supervoxel-based normalized cut segmentation method. Experimental results on two public datasets demonstrated that our framework achieved better performance in terms of classification accuracy and recognition ratio of tree.

An improved constrained simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique for ionospheric tomography / Yi Bin Yao in GPS solutions, Vol 24 n° 3 (July 2020)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > Vol 24 n° 3 (July 2020) Titre : An improved constrained simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique for ionospheric tomography Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Yi Bin Yao, Auteur ; Changzhi Zhai, Auteur ; Jian Kong, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] interpolation [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] reconstruction 3D [Termes descripteurs IGN] teneur totale en électrons [Termes descripteurs IGN] tomographie [Termes descripteurs IGN] voxel Résumé : (auteur) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is now widely used for continuous ionospheric observations. Three-dimensional computerized ionospheric tomography (3DCIT) is an important tool for the reconstruction of electron density distributions in the ionosphere through effective use of the GNSS data. More specifically, the 3DCIT technique is able to resolve the three-dimensional electron density distributions over the reconstructed area based on the GNSS slant total electron content (STEC) observations. We present an Improved Constrained Simultaneous Iterative Reconstruction Technique (ICSIRT) algorithm that differs from the traditional ionospheric tomography methods in 3 ways. First, the ICSIRT computes the electron density corrections based on the product of the intercept and electron density within voxels so that the assignment of corrections at different heights becomes more reasonable. Second, an Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation is used to restrict the electron density values in the voxels not traversed by GNSS rays, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the reconstructed region. Also, to improve the reconstruction accuracy around the HmF2 (the peak height of the F2 layer) altitude, a multiresolution grid is adopted in the vertical direction, with a 10-km resolution from 200 to 420 km and a 50-km resolution at other altitudes. The new algorithm has been applied to the GNSS data over the European and North American regions in different case studies that involve different seasonal conditions as well as a major storm. In the European region experiment, reconstruction results show that the new ICSIRT algorithm can effectively improve the reconstruction of the GNSS data. The electron density profiles retrieved from ICSIRT are much closer to the ionosonde observations than those from its predecessor, namely, the Constrained Simultaneous Iteration Reconstruction Technique (CSIRT). The reconstruction accuracy is significantly improved. In the North American region experiment, the electron density profiles in ICSIRT results show better agreement with incoherent scatter radar observations than CSIRT, even for the topside profiles.

Estimation of tropospheric wet refractivity using tomography method and artificial neural networks in Iranian case study / Mir Reza Ghaffari Razin in GPS solutions, Vol 24 n° 3 (July 2020)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > Vol 24 n° 3 (July 2020) Titre : Estimation of tropospheric wet refractivity using tomography method and artificial neural networks in Iranian case study Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Mir Reza Ghaffari Razin, Auteur ; Behzad Voosoghi, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] coefficient de corrélation [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GPS [Termes descripteurs IGN] erreur moyenne quadratique [Termes descripteurs IGN] erreur relative [Termes descripteurs IGN] Iran [Termes descripteurs IGN] réfraction atmosphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] réseau neuronal artificiel [Termes descripteurs IGN] retard troposphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] retard troposphérique zénithal [Termes descripteurs IGN] tomographie par GPS [Termes descripteurs IGN] vapeur d'eau [Termes descripteurs IGN] voxel Résumé : (auteur) Using the observations from local and regional GPS networks, the estimation of slant wet delays (SWDs) is possible for each line of sight between satellite and receiver. The observations of SWD are used to model horizontal and vertical variations of the wet refractivity in the atmosphere above the study area. This work is done using the tomography method. In tomography, the horizontal variations of tropospheric wet refractivity are modeled with the polynomial in degree and rank of 2 with latitude and longitude as variables. Also, altitude variations are modeled in the form of discrete layers with constant heights. The main innovation is to estimate the tropospheric parameters for each line of sight by the artificial neural networks (ANNs). The SWD obtained from GPS observations for the different signals at each station is compared with the SWD generated by the ANNs (SWDGPS–SWDANNs). The square of the difference between these two values is introduced as the cost function in the ANNs. To evaluate, we used observations from October 27 to 31, 2011. The availability of GPS and radiosonde data is the main reason for choosing this timeframe. The correlation coefficient, root mean square error (RMSE), and relative error allow for evaluation of the proposed model. The results were also compared with the results of the voxel-based troposphere tomography method. For a more detailed evaluation, four test stations are selected and ANN zenith wet delays (ZWDANN) are compared with the ZWDGPS. Observations of test stations are not used in the modeling step. The correlation coefficient in the testing step for TomoANN and Tomovoxel is 0.9006 and 0.8863, respectively. The mean RMSE at 5 days for TomoANN and Tomovoxel is calculated as 0.63 and 0.71 mm/km, respectively. Also, the average relative error at the four test stations for TomoANN is 15.37% and for Tomovoxel it is 19.69%. The results demonstrate the better capability of the proposed method in the modeling of the tropospheric wet refractivity in the region of Iran.

Tree annotations in LiDAR data using point densities and convolutional neural networks / Ananya Gupta in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 58 n° 2 (February 2020)

However, data need to be manually labeled in order to provide subsequent useful information. Manual annotation of such data is time-consuming, tedious, and error prone, and hence, in this article, we present three automatic methods for annotating trees in LiDAR data. The first method requires high-density point clouds and uses certain LiDAR data attributes for the purpose of tree identification, achieving almost 90% accuracy. The second method uses a voxel-based 3-D convolutional neural network on low-density LiDAR data sets and is able to identify most large trees accurately but struggles with smaller ones due to the voxelization process. The third method is a scaled version of the PointNet++ method and works directly on outdoor point clouds and achieves an F score of 82.1% on the ISPRS benchmark data set, comparable to the state-of-the-art methods but with increased efficiency.
