However, the classical satellite-derived land cover/forest cover products with limited resolution are not fine enough for the identification of urban tree, which is usually appeared in small size and intersected with infrastructure. To relieve the dilemma, this study developed an urban tree specific sub-pixel mapping (SPM) architecture with deep learning approach, which aimed to generate 2m fine-scale urban tree cover product from 10 m Sentinel-2 images for large-scale area of 34 metropolises in China. The proposed approach has remarkable reconstruction ability for delineating the contextual characteristic of the urban tree patterns, and reliable generalization ability to large-scale area. In addition, this study creates a large-volume urban tree cover dataset (UTCD) with 0.13 billion urban tree samples at 2 m resolution, which fills the deficiency of standard dataset in urban tree cover research field. Quantitative analysis of our products was conducted on two typical study sites of Beijing and Wuhan. The results show that our products recover averagely more than 58.72% of urban tree covers that have been underestimated in the existing land cover/forest cover products, and outperforms the state-of-the-art approach both visually and quantitatively, by averagely 11.31% improvement in overall accuracy. From our annual products during 2016–2020, we found an evolution characteristic of urban tree cover: it is more stable in developed cities like Beijing, while more fluctuated in developing cities like Wuhan, and the alteration are usually concentrated at the outer-ring of downtown, which may be caused by the municipal planning and the land development of real estate industry.

Integrating terrestrial laser scanning and unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry to estimate individual tree attributes in managed coniferous forests in Japan / Katsuto Shimizu in International journal of applied Earth observation and geoinformation, vol 106 (February 2022)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of applied Earth observation and geoinformation > vol 106 (February 2022) . - n° 102658 Titre : Integrating terrestrial laser scanning and unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry to estimate individual tree attributes in managed coniferous forests in Japan Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Katsuto Shimizu, Auteur ; Tomohiro Nishizono, Auteur ; Fumiaki Kitahara, Auteur ; Keiko Fukumoto, Auteur ; Hideki Saito, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 102658 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications photogrammétriques [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] données localisées 3D [Termes IGN] estimation statistique [Termes IGN] hauteur des arbres [Termes IGN] image captée par drone [Termes IGN] Japon [Termes IGN] Pinophyta [Termes IGN] volume en bois Résumé : (auteur) The accurate estimation of tree attributes is essential for sustainable forest management. Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) is a viable remote sensing technology suitable for estimating under canopy structure. However, TLS measurements generally underestimate tree height in taller trees, which leads to the underestimation of other tree attributes (e.g., stem volume). The integration of information derived from TLS and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry could potentially improve tree height estimation. This study investigated the applicability of integrating TLS and UAV photogrammetry to estimate individual tree attributes in managed coniferous forests of Japan. Diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height, and stem volume were estimated by (1) TLS data only, (2) integrating TLS and UAV data with TLS tree locations, and (3) integrating TLS and UAV data with treetop detections of the tree canopy. The TLS data only approach achieved high accuracy for DBH estimations with a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 2.36 cm (RMSE% 5.6%); however, tree height was greatly underestimated, with an RMSE of 8.87 m (28.9%) and a bias of −8.39 m. Integrating TLS and UAV photogrammetric data improved tree height estimation accuracy for both the TLS tree location (RMSE of 1.89 m and a bias of −0.46 m) and the treetop detection (RMSE of 1.77 m and a bias of 0.36 m) approaches. Integrating TLS and UAV photogrammetric data also improved the accuracy of the stem volume estimations with RMSEs of 0.21 m3 (10.8%) and 0.21 m3 (10.5%) for the TLS tree location and treetop detection approaches, respectively. Although the tree height of suppressed trees tended to be overestimated by TLS and UAV photogrammetric data integration, a good performance was obtained for dominant trees. The results of this study indicate that the integration of TLS and UAV photogrammetry is beneficial for the accurate estimation of tree attributes in coniferous forests.

Multiple algorithms for the automated mapping of forest disturbance using remotely sensed imagery have been developed and applied; however, variability in natural and anthropogenic disturbance phenomena, as well as image acquisition conditions, can result in maps that may be incomplete or that contain inaccuracies that prevent their use for directly estimating areas of disturbance. To reduce errors in reporting disturbance areas, stratified estimators can be applied to obtain statistically robust area estimates, while simultaneously circumventing the need to conduct a complete census or in situations where such a census may not be possible. We present a semi-automated procedure for implementation in Google Earth Engine, 3I3D-GEE, for regional to global mapping of forest disturbance (including clear-cut harvesting, fire, and wind damage) and sample-based estimation of related areas using data from the processing capacity of Google Earth Engine. Documentation for the application is also provided in Appendix A. Using Sentinel-2 (S2) imagery, our procedure was applied and tested for 2018 in Italy for which the approximately 11 million ha of forests (mostly Q. pubescens, Q. robur, Q. cerris, Q. petraea, and Fagus sylvatica) serve as an appropriate case study because national statistics on forest disturbance areas are not available. To decrease the overall standard errors of the area estimates, the sampling intensities in areas where greater variability in the form of greater commission and omission errors are expected can be increased. To this end, we augmented the predicted forest disturbance map with a buffer class consisting of a two-pixel buffer (20 m) on each side of the disturbance class boundary. We selected a reference sample of 19,300 points: a simple random sample of 9,300 points from the buffer and simple random samples of 5000 from each of the undisturbed and disturbed classes. The reference sample was photointerpreted using fine resolution orthophotos (30 cm) and S2 imagery. While the estimate of the disturbed area obtained by adding the areas of pixels classified as disturbed was 41,732 ha, the estimate obtained using the unbiased stratified estimator was 27% greater at 57,717716 ha. Regarding map accuracy, we found several omission errors in the buffer (53.4%) but none (0%) in the undisturbed map class. Similarly, among the 1035 commission errors, the majority (7 4 4) were in the buffer class. The methods presented herein provide a useful tool that can be used to estimate areas of forest disturbance, which many nations must report as part of their commitment to international conventions and treaties. In addition, the information generated can support forest management, enabling the forest sector to monitor stand-replacing forest harvesting over space and time.

Currently, most studies mainly focus on evaluating the ecological services of street trees by measuring the amount of greenness, but how to evaluate their aesthetic functions through quantitative measurements of street trees remain unclear. To address this problem, we propose a method to assess the aesthetic functions of street trees by quantifying the shape of greenness inspired by assessments of skyline aesthetics. Using a state-of-the-art mobile mapping system, we collected downtown-wide lidar data and panoramic images in Jinzhou City, Hebei Province, China. We developed a method for extracting the canopy line from the mobile lidar data, and then identified two basic elements, peaks and gaps, from street canopy lines and extracted six indexes (i.e., richness of peaks, evenness of peaks, frequency of peaks, total length of gaps, evenness of gaps and frequency of gaps) to describe the fluctuations and continuities of street canopy lines. We analyzed the abundance and spatial distribution of these indexes together with survey responses on the streets’ aesthetics and found that most of them were significantly correlated with human perception of streets. Compared to indexes of amount of greenness (e.g., green volume and green view index), these shape indexes have stronger influences on the physical aesthetic beauty of street trees. These findings suggest that a comprehensive assessment of the aesthetic function of street trees should consider both shape and amount of greenness. This study provides a new perspective for the assessment of urban green spaces and can assist future urban greening planning and urban landscape management.

These classes are important to local contexts because they contribute to sustainable land management systems. This paper demonstrates the application of Sentinel-2A satellite images, elevation data, and the Google Earth Engine platform to generate more detailed, specialist land cover classification for forestry classes important in Sri Lanka deriving ten spectral, 16 textural, and three topographical features from the input datasets. The random forest classification model discriminates vegetation types as forest, forest plantations, shrub, grassland, home garden, and cultivation with an overall accuracy of 94% and kappa value of 0.91. Results indicate the elevation feature contributes the most to discriminate forest and agroforestry classes, and red band (664.6 nm) textural metrics derived from grey-level co-occurrence matrix analysis are more useful for separating the home garden from other land cover classes.
