SDMs have been widely used in theoretical studies of species niches as well as in conservation applications. Here, we evaluated the impacts of predictors’ type on models’ performances and spatial predictions using 72 plant species belonging to six ecological groups at a regional scale in the area of Geneva (Switzerland). Twelve models were created using various combinations of high-resolution (25 m) explanatory variables including topography, pedology, climate, habitats and remote sensing data. Models integrating a combination of habitats and topopedo-climatic predictors had significantly higher performances, while remote sensing predictors showed low performances. Our results suggest that the number and the level of details of habitat predictors (broad or very precise) do not fundamentally affect prediction maps. However, selecting too few, overly simplified or exceedingly complex habitat predictors tend to lower models’ performances. The use of eight habitat categories complemented with eight topopedo-climatic predictors produced models with the highest performances. Ecological groups of species responded differently to models and while alpine and ruderal species have greater average performances due to a high affinity with topopedo-climatic predictors, wetlands’ species were less performant on average. These results underline the necessity of developing or having access to habitats distribution data especially in a conservation context.

The separation of leaf and wood components is a prerequisite for the estimation of branch/leaf-scale biophysical properties and realistic tree model reconstruction. Most existing methods have been tested on trees with similar structures; their robustness for trees of different species and sizes remains relatively unexplored. This study proposed a new graph-based leaf–wood separation (GBS) method for individual trees purely using the xyz -information of the point cloud. The GBS method fully utilized the shortest path-based features, as the shortest path can effectively reflect the structures for trees of different species and sizes. Ten types of tree data—covering tropical, temperate, and boreal species—with heights ranging from 5.4 to 43.7 m, were used to test the method performance. The mean accuracy and kappa coefficient at the point level were 94% and 0.78, respectively, and our method outperformed two other state-of-the-art methods. Through further analysis and testing, the GBS method exhibited a strong ability for detecting small and leaf-surrounded branches, and was also sufficiently robust in terms of data subsampling. Our research further demonstrated the potential of the shortest path-based features in leaf–wood separation. The entire framework was provided for use as an open-source Python package, along with our labeled validation data.

Semi-supervised adversarial recognition of refined window structures for inverse procedural façade modelling / Han Hu in ISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing, vol 192 (October 2022)  

Public [article]  inISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing > vol 192 (October 2022) . - pp 215 - 231 Titre : Semi-supervised adversarial recognition of refined window structures for inverse procedural façade modelling Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Han Hu, Auteur ; Xinrong Liang, Auteur ; Yulin Ding, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 215 - 231 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] classification semi-dirigée [Termes IGN] échantillonnage de données [Termes IGN] extraction de traits caractéristiques [Termes IGN] façade [Termes IGN] fenêtre (bâtiment) [Termes IGN] modélisation 3D du bâti BIM [Termes IGN] photographie aérienne oblique [Termes IGN] réseau antagoniste génératif Résumé : (auteur) Deep learning methods are typically data-hungry and require many labelled samples. Unfortunately, the amount of effort required to label the data has significantly hindered the application of deep learning methods, especially in 3D modelling tasks requiring heterogeneous samples. This paper proposes a semi-supervised adversarial recognition strategy embedded in the inverse procedural modelling engine to reduce data annotation costs for learning to model 3D façades. Beginning with textured level-of-details models, we use convolutional neural networks to recognise the types and estimate the parameters of windows from image patches. The window types and parameters are then assembled into the procedural grammar. A simple procedural engine is built inside off-the-shelf 3D modelling software, producing fine-grained window geometries. To obtain a useful model from a few labelled samples, we leverage a generative adversarial network to train the feature extractor in a semi-supervised manner. The adversarial training strategy exploits the unlabelled data to stabilise the training phase. Experiments using publicly available façade image datasets reveal that the proposed methods can improve classification accuracy and parameter estimation by approximately 10% and 50%, respectively, under the same network structure. In addition, performance gains are more pronounced when testing against unseen data featuring different façade styles.

Generating impact maps from bomb craters automatically detected in aerial wartime images using marked point processes / Christian Kruse in ISPRS Open Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, vol 5 (August 2022)  

Public [article]  inISPRS Open Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing > vol 5 (August 2022) Titre : Generating impact maps from bomb craters automatically detected in aerial wartime images using marked point processes Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Christian Kruse, Auteur ; Dennis Wittich, Auteur ; Franz Rottensteiner, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] algorithme du recuit simulé [Termes IGN] chevauchement [Termes IGN] classification par réseau neuronal convolutif [Termes IGN] détection automatique [Termes IGN] échantillonnage de données [Termes IGN] Europe centrale [Termes IGN] guerre [Termes IGN] image aérienne [Termes IGN] méthode de Monte-Carlo par chaînes de Markov [Termes IGN] méthode fondée sur le noyau [Termes IGN] processus ponctuel marqué [Termes IGN] processus stochastique Résumé : (auteur) Even more than 75 years after the Second World War, numerous unexploded bombs (duds) linger in the ground and pose a considerable hazard to society. The areas containing these duds are documented in so-called impact maps, which are based on locations of exploded bombs; these locations can be found in aerial images taken shortly after bombing. To generate impact maps, in this paper we present a novel approach based on marked point processes (MPPs) for the automatic detection of bomb craters in such images, some of which are overlapping. The object model for the craters is represented by circles and is embedded in the MPP-framework. By means of stochastic sampling, the most likely configuration of objects within the scene is determined. Each configuration is evaluated using an energy function that describes the consistency with a predefined object model. High gradient magnitudes along the object borders and homogeneous grey values inside the objects are favoured, while overlaps between objects are penalized. Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling, in combination with simulated annealing, provides the global optimum of the energy function. Our procedure allows the combination of individual detection results covering the same location. Afterwards, a probability map for duds is generated from the detections via kernel density estimation and areas around the detections are classified as contaminated, resulting in an impact map. Our results, based on 74 aerial wartime images taken over different areas in Central Europe, show the potential of the method; among other findings, a clear improvement is achieved by using redundant image information. We also compared the MPP method for bomb crater detection with a state-of-of-the-art convolutional neural network (CNN) for generating region proposals; it turned out that the CNN outperforms the MPPs if a sufficient amount of representative training data is available and a threshold for a region to be considered as crater is properly tuned prior to running the experiments. If this is not the case, the MPP approach achieves better results.

Mapping land-use intensity of grasslands in Germany with machine learning and Sentinel-2 time series / Maximilian Lange in Remote sensing of environment, vol 277 (August 2022)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing of environment > vol 277 (August 2022) . - n° 112888 Titre : Mapping land-use intensity of grasslands in Germany with machine learning and Sentinel-2 time series Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Maximilian Lange, Auteur ; Hannes Feilhauer, Auteur ; Ingolf Kühn, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 112888 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] Allemagne [Termes IGN] apprentissage automatique [Termes IGN] bande spectrale [Termes IGN] carte d'utilisation du sol [Termes IGN] classification par réseau neuronal convolutif [Termes IGN] échantillonnage de données [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-MSI [Termes IGN] indice de végétation [Termes IGN] prairie [Termes IGN] série temporelle Résumé : (auteur) Information on grassland land-use intensity (LUI) is crucial for understanding trends and dynamics in biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, earth system science and environmental monitoring. LUI is a major driver for numerous environmental processes and indicators, such as primary production, nitrogen deposition and resilience to climate extremes. However, large extent, high resolution data on grassland LUI is rare. New satellite generations, such as Copernicus Sentinel-2, enable a spatially comprehensive detection of the mainly subtle changes induced by land-use intensification by their fine spatial and temporal resolution. We developed a methodology quantifying key parameters of grassland LUI such as grazing intensity, mowing frequency and fertiliser application across Germany using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) on Sentinel-2 satellite data with 20 m × 20 m spatial resolution. Subsequently, these land-use components were used to calculate a continuous LUI index. Predictions of LUI and its components were validated using comprehensive in situ grassland management data. A feature contribution analysis using Shapley values substantiates the applicability of the methodology by revealing a high relevance of springtime satellite observations and spectral bands related to vegetation health and structure. We achieved an overall classification accuracy of up to 66% for grazing intensity, 68% for mowing, 85% for fertilisation and an r2 of 0.82 for subsequently depicting LUI. We evaluated the methodology's robustness with a spatial 3-fold cross-validation by training and predicting on geographically distinctly separated regions. Spatial transferability was assessed by delineating the models' area of applicability. The presented methodology enables a high resolution, large extent mapping of land-use intensity of grasslands.
