Achieving these sustainability goals requires tracking human footprints and landscape disturbance at fine scales over time—an effort facilitated by remote sensing but still under development. Here, we report a satellite time-series analysis approach to detecting fine-scale human disturbances in an Ohio watershed dominated by forests and pastures but with diverse small-scale industrial activities such as hydraulic fracturing (HF) and surface mining. We leveraged Google Earth Engine to stack decades of Landsat images and explored the effectiveness of a fuzzy change detection algorithm called the Bayesian Estimator of Abrupt change, Seasonality, and Trend (BEAST) to capture fine-scale disturbances. BEAST is an ensemble method, capable of estimating changepoints probabilistically and identifying sub-pixel disturbances. We found the algorithm can successfully capture the patterns and timings of small-scale disturbances, such as grazing, agriculture management, coal mining, HF, and right-of-ways for gas and power lines, many of which were not captured in the annual land cover maps from Cropland Data Layers—one of the most widely used classification-based land dynamics products in the US. For example, BEAST could detect the initial HF wellpad construction within 60 days of the registered drilling dates on 88.2% of the sites. The wellpad footprints were small, disturbing only 0.24% of the watershed in area, which was dwarfed by other activities (e.g., right-of-ways of utility transmission lines). Together, these known activities have disturbed 9.7% of the watershed from the year 2000 to 2017 with evergeen forests being the most affected land cover. This study provides empirical evidence on the effectiveness and reliability of BEAST for changepoint detection as well as its capability to detect disturbances from satellite images at sub-pixel levels and also documents the value of Google Earth Engine and satellite time-series imaging for monitoring human activities in complex working landscapes.

In existing system, either the transformation functions are oversimplified, or external measures such as digital elevation model and flight track are required to be precise. In this paper, we proposed a generative Bayesian approach to modelling the displacement vectors that map the position of each pixel in the image, thus avoiding degradation of the transformation function. Rather than providing a point estimate for the transformation function, the proposed method yields a full posterior density function of the transformation function. Especially, the Bayesian model learns all the parameters adaptively, and the procedure is fully automatic. The proposed model is comparable in accuracy to state-of-the-art optical flow methods on the challenging Sintel benchmarks, and outperforms currently published SAR image registration methods on some real SAR data with critical scenes.

In most situations, small domains represent administrative units that could greatly vary in size and forested area. In small and poorly sampled domains, the precision of estimates often drop below expected standards. To tackle this issue, we introduce a downscaling algorithm generating the smallest possible groups of domains satisfying prescribed sampling density and estimation error. The binary space partitioning algorithm recursively divides the population of domains in two groups while the prescribed precision conditions are fulfilled. The algorithm was tested on two major forest attributes (i.e. growing stock and basal area) in an area of 7,500 km2 dominated by hardwood forests in the centre of France. The estimation domains consisted in 157 municipalities. The field data included 819 NFI plots surveyed during a 5 years period. The auxiliary data consisted in 48 metrics derived from a forest map, photogrammetric models and Landsat images. A model-assisted framework was used for estimation. For each forest attribute, the best model was selected using a best-subset approach using a Bayesian Information Criteria. The retained models explained 58% and 41% of the observed variance for the growing stocks and basal areas respectively. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated using a minimum of 3 NFI points per domain and estimation errors varying from 10 to 50%. For a target estimation error set to 10%, the algorithm led to a limited number of estimation domains ( The algorithm provides a flexible estimation framework for small area estimation. The key advantages of the approach are relying on its capacity to produce estimations based on a preselected precision threshold and to produce results over the whole area of interest, avoiding areas without any estimates. The algorithm could also be used on any kind of polygon layers (not only administrative ones), provided that the field sampling design enable estimation. This makes the proposed algorithm a convenient tool notably for decision makers and forest managers.

Optimization of multi-ecosystem model ensembles to simulate vegetation growth at the global scale / Linling Tang in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 59 n° 2 (February 2021)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 59 n° 2 (February 2021) . - pp 962 - 978 Titre : Optimization of multi-ecosystem model ensembles to simulate vegetation growth at the global scale Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Linling Tang, Auteur ; Qian Lei, Auteur ; Weizhe Liu, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 962 - 978 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes descripteurs IGN] croissance végétale [Termes descripteurs IGN] écosystème [Termes descripteurs IGN] estimation bayesienne [Termes descripteurs IGN] Leaf Area Index [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle de simulation [Termes descripteurs IGN] optimisation (mathématiques) [Termes descripteurs IGN] optimisation par essaim de particules Résumé : (auteur) Process-based ecosystem models are increasingly used to simulate the effects of a changing environment on vegetation growth in the past, present, and future. To improve the simulation, the multimodel ensemble mean (MME) and ensemble Bayesian model averaging (EBMA) methods are often used in optimizing the integration of ecosystem model ensemble. These two methods were compared with four other optimization techniques, including genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), cuckoo search (CS), and interior-point method (IPM), to evaluate their efficiency in this article. Here, we focused on eight commonly used ecosystem models to simulate vegetation growth, represented by the growing season leaf area index (LAIgs), collected globally from 2000 to 2014. The performances of the multimodel ensembles and individual models were compared using the satellite-observed LAI products as the reference. Generally, ensemble simulations provide more accurate estimates than individual models. There were significant performance differences among the six tested methods. The IPM ensemble model simulated LAIgs more accurately than the other tested models, as the reduction in the root-mean-square error was 84.99% higher than the MME results and 61.50% higher than the EBMA results. Thus, IPM optimization can reproduce LAIgs trends accurately for 91.62% of the global vegetated area, which is double the area of the results from MME. Furthermore, the contributions and uncertainties of the individual models in the final simulated IPM LAIgs changes indicated that the best individual model (CABLE) showed the greatest area fraction for the maximum IPM weight (32.49%), especially in the low-lalitude to midlatitude areas.

Probabilistic positioning in mobile phone network and its consequences for the privacy of mobility data / Aleksey Ogulenko in Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, vol 85 (January 2021)

A Voronoi tessellation is then constructed based on the entire network of cell towers and this tessellation is considered as a coordinate system, with the device located in a Voronoi polygon of a cell tower that is recorded in the CDR. If Voronoi-based positioning is correct, the uniqueness of the device trajectory is very high, and the device can be identified based on 3–5 of its recorded locations. We investigate a probabilistic approach to device positioning that is based on knowledge of each antennas' parameters and number of connections, as dependent on the distance to the antenna. The critical difference between the Voronoi-based and the real world layout is in the essential overlap of the antennas' service areas: The device that is located in a cell tower's polygon can be served by a more distant antenna that is chosen by the network system to balance the network load. Combining data on the distance distribution of the number of connections available for each antenna in the network, we resolve the overlap problem by applying Bayesian inference and construct a realistic distribution of the device location. Probabilistic device positioning demands a full revision of mobile phone privacy and new full set of tools for data analysis.
