Incorporating interactions of multiple variables, the ML methods ANN and SVM predicted nonlinear system behavior and unraveled complex relations with greater accuracy than regression analysis. Context: Investigating the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of short-term forest dynamics is essential for testing whether the desired goals in forest-ecosystem conservation and restoration are achieved. Inventory data from the Jojadeh section of the Farim Forest located in the uneven-aged, mixed Hyrcanian Forest were used to model and predict 10-year net annual stand volume increment with new machine learning technologies. Aims: The main objective of this study was to predict net annual stand volume increment as the preeminent factor of forest growth and yield models. Methods: In the current study, volume increment was modeled from two consecutive inventories in 2003 and 2013 using four machine learning techniques that used physiographic data of the forest as input for model development: (i) artificial neural networks (ANN), (ii) support vector machines (SVM), (iii) random forests (RF), and (iv) nearest neighbor analysis (NN). Results from the various machine learning technologies were compared against results produced with regression analysis. Results: ANNs and SVMs with a linear kernel function that incorporated field-measurements of terrain slope and aspect as input variables were able to predict plot-level volume increment with a greater accuracy (94%) than regression analysis (87%). Conclusion: These results provide compelling evidence for the added utility of machine learning technologies for modeling plot-level volume increment in the context of forest dynamics and management.

Beirut city, Lebanon, was one of the unfortunate regions to endure the horrific ordeal of an unexpected explosion that caused thousands of human casualties, billions of dollars’ worth of property damage, and destroyed its main maritime entry point. In this paper, we identify damaged regions and classify their severity using a simple and robust SAR correlation technique. We employ phase coherence and amplitude correlation of a SAR stack to estimate pixels’ damage probability using hypothesis testing. We use a spatial phase filter applied in the frequency domain to improve the estimated coherence by removing the spatial decorrelation component of the total estimated coherence. Using this filter improved the coherence of nearly 44.2% of pixels identified with coherence less than 0.25 in our study area. The estimated damaged regions are presented and compared against a damage map issued by Advanced Rapid Imaging and Analysis (ARIA) which shows an average agreement of 68.3%. Also, a fine agreement was observed when compared to optical satellite images.

A multi-criteria analysis of forest restoration strategies to improve the ecosystem services supply: an application in Central Italy / Alessandro Paletto in Annals of Forest Science [en ligne], vol 78 n° 1 (March 2021)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science [en ligne] > vol 78 n° 1 (March 2021) . - n° 7 Titre : A multi-criteria analysis of forest restoration strategies to improve the ecosystem services supply: an application in Central Italy Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Alessandro Paletto, Auteur ; Elisa Pieratti, Auteur ; Isabella De Meo, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 7 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes descripteurs IGN] analyse multicritère [Termes descripteurs IGN] changement climatique [Termes descripteurs IGN] éclaircie (sylviculture) [Termes descripteurs IGN] Italie [Termes descripteurs IGN] marché du bois [Termes descripteurs IGN] puits de carbone [Termes descripteurs IGN] reboisement [Termes descripteurs IGN] service écosystémique [Termes descripteurs IGN] volume en bois [Vedettes matières IGN] Sylviculture Résumé : (auteur) Key message: A multi-criteria analysis can be an interesting tool to assess the effects of silvicultural treatments on ecosystem services supply. In the degraded forests, thinning has a positive effect on the provision of ecosystem services such as timber and bioenergy production, climate change mitigation, and recreational attractiveness. Context: The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment highlights the importance of the ecosystem services for human well-being and for maintaining conditions for life on Earth. Silvicultural treatments can improve the provision of ecosystem services to increase local communities’ well-being. Aims: The aim of this study is to understand the effects of two-forest restoration practices (selective thinning and thinning from below) on three ecosystem services (wood production, climate change mitigation, and recreational opportunities) in an Italian case study. Methods: A multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) was performed to compare the effects of three forest restoration scenarios (baseline, selective thinning, thinning from below) on ecosystem services. Wood production was estimated considering the local market prices and the wood volumes harvested, while climate change mitigation was quantified through the C-stock and C-sequestration changes in carbon pools due to the silvicultural treatments. The recreational activities were assessed through a questionnaire survey. A sample of 200 visitors was interviewed face-to-face to estimate the impact of thinning on recreational activities. Results: The results of the MCDA show that the selective thinning scenario is the optimal forest restoration practice to increase the recreational attractiveness and the wood production in the study area. Conclusion: The results concerning the effects of the silvicultural treatments on ecosystem services supply are an important tool to support decision makers.

PBNet: Part-based convolutional neural network for complex composite object detection in remote sensing imagery / Xian Sun in ISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing, Vol 173 (March 2021)  

Public [article]  inISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing > Vol 173 (March 2021) . - pp 50 - 65 Titre : PBNet: Part-based convolutional neural network for complex composite object detection in remote sensing imagery Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xian Sun, Auteur ; Peijin Wang, Auteur ; Cheng Wang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 50 - 65 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes descripteurs IGN] analyse contextuelle [Termes descripteurs IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes descripteurs IGN] Chine [Termes descripteurs IGN] classification par réseau neuronal convolutif [Termes descripteurs IGN] détection d'objet [Termes descripteurs IGN] objet géographique complexe [Termes descripteurs IGN] rectangle englobant minimum Résumé : (auteur) In recent years, deep learning-based algorithms have brought great improvements to rigid object detection. In addition to rigid objects, remote sensing images also contain many complex composite objects, such as sewage treatment plants, golf courses, and airports, which have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed size. In this paper, we validate through experiments that the results of existing methods in detecting composite objects are not satisfying enough. Therefore, we propose a unified part-based convolutional neural network (PBNet), which is specifically designed for composite object detection in remote sensing imagery. PBNet treats a composite object as a group of parts and incorporates part information into context information to improve composite object detection. Correct part information can guide the prediction of a composite object, thus solving the problems caused by various shapes and sizes. To generate accurate part information, we design a part localization module to learn the classification and localization of part points using bounding box annotation only. A context refinement module is designed to generate more discriminative features by aggregating local context information and global context information, which enhances the learning of part information and improve the ability of feature representation. We selected three typical categories of composite objects from a public dataset to conduct experiments to verify the detection performance and generalization ability of our method. Meanwhile, we build a more challenging dataset about a typical kind of complex composite objects, i.e., sewage treatment plants. It refers to the relevant information from authorities and experts. This dataset contains sewage treatment plants in seven cities in the Yangtze valley, covering a wide range of regions. Comprehensive experiments on two datasets show that PBNet surpasses the existing detection algorithms and achieves state-of-the-art accuracy.

Coastal water remote sensing from sentinel-2 satellite data using physical, statistical, and neural network retrieval approach / Frank S. Marzano in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 59 n° 2 (February 2021)

In this article, multiple approaches are proposed for retrieving chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and total suspended matter (TSM) along the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian coasts in Italy, using both empirical and model-based frameworks to design regressive and neural network (NN) estimation methods. The latter proves to be more accurate on a regional scale, where standard ocean color physical models exhibit high uncertainty in their local parameterization due to the complex spectral characteristics of the observed scene. Retrieval results are encouraging for Chl-a with a coefficient of determination R2 up to 0.72 with a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 0.33 mg m−3 , using an empirical NN. The TSM algorithms exhibit higher uncertainty, mainly due to scarcity of in situ measurements and model parameterizations, with R2=0.52 and RMSE = 1.95 g/m 3 using NNs. The bio-optical model, used for the development of model-based algorithms, shows some inadequacies in representing the inherent and apparent optical properties for the case study areas, especially considering the different spectral features between the oligotrophic Tyrrhenian Sea and the eutrophic Adriatic Sea. This study confirms the potential of Sentinel-2 MSI products for coastal water monitoring, but it also highlights key issues to be further tackled such as the atmospheric correction impact, the need of reliable in situ measurements, and possible bathymetry effects near the shores.
