Current machine learning models based on hyperspectral reflectance are widely applied to estimate leaf Cab and Cxc contents at leaf scale. However, these models have certain accuracy for non-independent datasets but have poor generalization for independent datasets when they are used to estimate leaf Cab and Cxc contents. This fact limits that hyperspectral remote sensing completely replaces destructive measurements for leaf Cab and Cxc contents. Thus, the development of an estimation model with high accuracy and satisfactory generalization is necessary. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have certain accuracy and generalization in many domains, and have the potential to solve above-mentioned problem. Therefore, this study developed a CNN using one-dimensional hyperspectral reflectance, which aimed to improve the model's accuracy and generalization in leaf Cab and Cxc content estimation at leaf scale. The proposed CNN was developed by three steps. First, in consideration of the correlation between leaf Cab and Cxc contents in natural leaves, 2500 physical data with leaf reflectance and corresponding Cab and Cxc contents were generated by leaf radiative transfer model and multivariable gaussian distribution function. Then, the proposed CNN was built by five strategies based on the architecture of the AlexNet. Finally, five-fold cross validation was performed with 70% of the physical data to determine the best strategy to develop the proposed CNN. These were executed to ensure the proposed CNN with the maximum accuracy and generalization. In addition, the accuracy and generalization of the proposed CNN were tested using a non-independent dataset and an independent dataset, respectively. The proposed CNN was also compared with back propagation neural network (BPNN), support vector regression (SVR) and gaussian process regression (GPR). Results showed that the best CNN could be developed with one input, five convolutional, three max-pooling and three fully-connected layers. Comprehensively considering the model's accuracy and generalization, the proposed CNN was the best model for leaf Cab and Cxc content estimation compared with BPNN, SVR and GPR. This study provides a development strategy of CNN estimation model using one-dimensional hyperspectral reflectance at leaf scale. The proposed CNN could further promote the practical application of hyperspectral remote sensing in leaf Cab and Cxc content estimation.

Land surface phenology retrieval through spectral and angular harmonization of Landsat-8, Sentinel-2 and Gaofen-1 data / Jun Lu in Remote sensing, vol 14 n° 5 (March-1 2022)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing > vol 14 n° 5 (March-1 2022) . - n° 1296 Titre : Land surface phenology retrieval through spectral and angular harmonization of Landsat-8, Sentinel-2 and Gaofen-1 data Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Jun Lu, Auteur ; Tao He, Auteur ; Dan-Xia Song, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 1296 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] classification par forêts d'arbres décisionnels [Termes IGN] distribution du coefficient de réflexion bidirectionnelle BRDF [Termes IGN] fusion de données multisource [Termes IGN] harmonisation des données [Termes IGN] image Gaofen [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-MSI [Termes IGN] image Terra-MODIS [Termes IGN] indice de végétation [Termes IGN] phénologie [Termes IGN] réflectance spectrale [Termes IGN] série temporelle Résumé : (auteur) Land Surface Phenology is an important characteristic of vegetation, which can be informative of its response to climate change. However, satellite-based identification of vegetation transition dates is hindered by inconsistencies in different observation platforms, including band settings, viewing angles, and scale effects. Therefore, time-series data with high consistency are necessary for monitoring vegetation phenology. This study proposes a data harmonization approach that involves band conversion and bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) correction to create normalized reflectance from Landsat-8, Sentinel-2A, and Gaofen-1 (GF-1) satellite data, characterized by the same spectral and illumination-viewing angles as the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Nadir BRDF Adjusted Reflectance (NBAR). The harmonized data are then subjected to the spatial and temporal adaptive reflectance fusion model (STARFM) to produce time-series data with high spatio–temporal resolution. Finally, the transition date of typical vegetation was estimated using regular 30 m spatial resolution data. The results show that the data harmonization method proposed in this study assists in improving the consistency of different observations under different viewing angles. The fusion result of STARFM was improved after eliminating differences in the input data, and the accuracy of the remote-sensing-based vegetation transition date was improved by the fused time-series curve with the input of harmonized data. The root mean square error (RMSE) estimation of the vegetation transition date decreased by 9.58 days. We concluded that data harmonization eliminates the viewing-angle effect and is essential for time-series vegetation monitoring through improved data fusion.

Mapping burn severity in the western Italian Alps through phenologically coherent reflectance composites derived from Sentinel-2 imagery / Donato Morresi in Remote sensing of environment, vol 269 (February 2022)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing of environment > vol 269 (February 2022) . - n° 112800 Titre : Mapping burn severity in the western Italian Alps through phenologically coherent reflectance composites derived from Sentinel-2 imagery Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Donato Morresi, Auteur ; Raffaella Marzano, Auteur ; Emanuele Lingua, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 112800 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] carte de la végétation [Termes IGN] cartographie des risques [Termes IGN] détection de changement [Termes IGN] forêt alpestre [Termes IGN] image multibande [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-MSI [Termes IGN] incendie de forêt [Termes IGN] phénologie [Termes IGN] Piémont (Italie) [Termes IGN] réflectance spectrale [Termes IGN] risque naturel [Termes IGN] variation saisonnière [Termes IGN] zone sinistrée Résumé : (auteur) Deriving burn severity from multispectral satellite data is a widely adopted approach to infer the degree of environmental change caused by fire. Burn severity maps obtained by thresholding bi-temporal indices based on pre- and post-fire Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) can vary substantially depending on temporal constraints such as matched acquisition and optimal seasonal timing. Satisfying temporal requirements is crucial to effectively disentangle fire and non-fire induced spectral changes and can be particularly challenging when only a few cloud-free images are available. Our study focuses on 10 wildfires that occurred in mountainous areas of the Piedmont Region (Italy) during autumn 2017 following a severe and prolonged drought period. Our objectives were to: (i) generate reflectance composites using Sentinel-2 imagery that were optimised for seasonal timing by embedding spatial patterns of long-term land surface phenology (LSP); (ii) produce and validate burn severity maps based on the modelled relationship between bi-temporal indices and field data; (iii) compare burn severity maps obtained using either a pair of cloud-free Sentinel-2 images, i.e. paired images, or reflectance composites. We proposed a pixel-based compositing algorithm coupling the weighted geometric median and thematic spatial information, e.g. long-term LSP metrics derived from the MODIS Collection 6 Land Cover Dynamics Product, to rank all the clear observations available in the growing season. Composite Burn Index data and bi-temporal indices exhibited a strong nonlinear relationship (R2 > 0.85) using paired images or reflectance composites. Burn severity maps attained overall classification accuracy ranging from 76.9% to 83.7% (Kappa between 0.61 and 0.72) and the Relative differenced NBR (RdNBR) achieved the best results compared to other bi-temporal indices (differenced NBR and Relativized Burn Ratio). Improvements in overall classification accuracy offered by the calibration of bi-temporal indices with the dNBR offset were limited to burn severity maps derived from paired images. Reflectance composites provided the highest overall classification accuracy and differences with paired images were significant using uncalibrated bi-temporal indices (4.4% to 5.2%) while they decreased (2.8% to 3.2%) when we calibrated bi-temporal indices derived from paired images. The extent of the high severity category increased by ~19% in burn severity maps derived from reflectance composites (uncalibrated RdNBR) compared to those from paired images (calibrated RdNBR). The reduced contrast between healthy and burnt conditions associated with suboptimal seasonal timing caused an underestimation of burnt areas. By embedding spatial patterns of long-term LSP metrics, our approach provided consistent reflectance composites targeted at a specific phenological stage and minimising non-fire induced inter-annual changes. Being independent from the multispectral dataset employed, the proposed pixel-based compositing approach offers new opportunities for operational change detection applications in geographic areas characterised by persistent cloud cover.

The detection of vitality loss at an early stage is thus of vital importance for forestry and forest management to minimize ecological and economical damage. Remote sensing instruments are able to detect changes over large areas down to the level of individual trees. The scope of our study is to investigate whether it is possible to detect stress-related spectral changes at an early stage using hyperspectral sensors. For this purpose, two Norway spruce (Picea abies) forest stands, both different in age and maintenance, were monitored in the field over two vegetation periods. In parallel, time series of airborne hyperspectral remote sensing data were acquired. For each stand 70 trees were artificially stressed (ring-barked) and 70 trees were used as control trees. The data collected in south-eastern Germany consists of measurements at multiple times and at different scales: (1) crown conditions were visually assessed in the field (2) needle reflectance spectra were acquired in the laboratory using a FieldSpec spectrometer, and (3) hyperspectral airborne data (HySpex) were flown at 0.5 m spatial resolution. We aimed for a simultaneous data acquisition at the three levels. This unique data set was investigated whether any feature can be discriminated to detect vitality loss in trees at an early stage. Several spectral transformations were applied to the needle and tree crown spectra, such as spectral derivatives, vegetation indices and angle indices. All features were examined for their separability (ring-barked vs. control trees) with the Random Forest (RF) classification algorithm. As result, the younger, well maintained forest stand only showed minor changes over the 2-year period, whereas changes in the older forest stand were observable both in the needle and in the hyperspectral tree crown spectra, respectively. These changes could even be detected before changes were visible by field observations. The tree spectral reactions to ring-barking were first noticeable 11 months after ring-barking and 6 weeks before they were visible by field inspection. The most discriminative features for separating the two groups were the reflectance spectra and the spectral derivatives, over the VIs or angle indices. The tree crown spectra of the two groups could be separated by the RF classifier with a 79% overall accuracy at the beginning of the second vegetation period and 1 month later with 92% overall accuracy with high kappa index. The results clearly demonstrate the great potential of hyperspectral remote sensing in detecting early vitality changes of stressed trees.

Accurate and timely monitoring of the cotton distribution is crucial for cotton cultivation management and international trade. However, most of the previous researches on cotton identification using remotely sensed images are highly dependent on training samples, and the collection of samples is time-consuming and expensive. To overcome this limitation, a new index, termed as Cotton Mapping Index (CMI), was developed in this study for automatic cotton mapping using time series of Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and Sentinel-2 Multispectral Instrument (MSI) satellite data. Four sites in the United States (U.S.) and four sites in China were selected to develop and assess the performance of the CMI. The spectral characteristics derived from Sentinel-2 and backscattering coefficients derived from Sentinel-1 for cotton and non-cotton crops during the cotton growth period were analyzed. Considering the phenology differences of crops in different regions, the features at an adaptive window were adopted to construct the CMI. The results showed that at the peak greenness period, the multiplication of red-edge 1 and red-edge 2 band for cotton samples were much larger than those for non-cotton samples, whereas the spectral angle at the red band as well as the absolute values of backscattering coefficients in vertical transmit and vertical receive (VV) polarization for cotton samples were much smaller than those for non-cotton samples. Based on these findings, the CMI was developed to identify cotton cultivated area within the cropland area. The overall accuracy of classification results for the sites in the U.S. was higher than 81.20%, and the mean relative error for the sites in Xinjiang of China was 26.69%. The CMI, which incorporated optical and radar features, had a better performance than the indices using optical features solely. The advantage of the CMI over supervised classifiers (i.e., k-nearest neighbors, support vector machine and random forest) is that no training samples are required. Moreover, the cotton distribution map can be obtained before the harvest using the CMI. These results indicated the potential of the CMI for cotton mapping. The applicability of CMI in other regions with different cropping systems and crop types needs to be further assessed in the future study.
