SBW occurrence as well as the extent and severity of its damage are highly dependent on the characteristics of the forests and the availability of host species namely, spruce (Picea sp.) and balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.). Remote sensing satellite imagery represents a valuable data source for seamless regional-scale mapping of forest composition. This study developed and evaluated new models to map the distribution and abundance of SBW host species at 20 m spatial resolution using Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery in combination with several site variables for a total of 191 variables in northern New Brunswick, Canada using the Random Forest (RF) algorithm. We found Sentinel-2 multi-temporal single spectral bands and numerous spectral vegetation indices (SVIs) yielded the classification of SBW host species with an overall accuracy (OA) of 72.6% and kappa coefficient (K) of 0.65. Incorporating Sentinel-1 SAR data with Sentinel-2 variables coupled with elevation, only marginally improved the performance of the model (OA: 73.0% and K: 0.66). The use of Sentinel-1 SAR data with elevation resulted in a reasonable OA of 57.5% and K of 0.47. These spatially explicit up-to-date SBW host species maps are essential for identifying susceptible forests, monitoring SBW defoliation, and minimizing forest losses from insect impacts at landscape scale in the current SBW outbreak in the region.

Sentinel – 1 (S1) with a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensor and Sentinel – 2 (S2) multi-spectral sensor with additional and strategically positioned bands offer great potential for providing reliable information for discriminating and mapping commercial forest species. In this study, we sought to determine the value of S1 and S2 data characteristics in discriminating and mapping commercial forest species. Using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) algorithm, S2 multi-spectral imagery showed an overall classification accuracy of 84% (kappa = 0.81), with bands such as the red-edge (703.9–740.2 nm), narrow near infrared (835.1–864.8 nm), and short wave infrared (1613.7–2202.4 nm) particularly influential in discriminating individual forest species stands. When Sentinel 2’s spectral wavebands were fused with Sentinel 1’s (SAR) VV and VH polarimetric modes, overall classification accuracies improved to 87% (kappa = 0.83) and 88% (kappa = 0.85), respectively. These findings demonstrate the value of combining Sentinel’s multispectral and SAR structural information characteristics in improving commercial forest species discrimination. These, in addition to the sensors free availability, higher spatial resolution and larger swath width, offer unprecedented opportunities for improved local and large scale commercial forest species discrimination and mapping.

While supervised classification methods have been shown to be highly accurate in mapping forest cover from remotely sensed images, their performance depends to a great extent on the labelled samples used to build the models. In addition to their high acquisition cost, such samples are often scarce and not fully representative of the variability in class distributions. Consequently, when classification models are applied to large areas with high intra-class variance, they generally yield poor accuracies because of data shift issues. In this paper, we propose the use of active learning to efficiently adapt a classifier trained on a source image to spatially distinct target images with minimal labelling effort and without sacrificing the classification performance. The adaptation consists in actively adding to the initial local model new relevant training samples from other areas in a cascade that iteratively improves the generalisation capabilities of the classifier leading to a global model tailored to these different areas. This active selection relies on uncertainty sampling to directly focus on the most informative pixels for which the algorithm is the least certain of their class labels. Experiments conducted on Sentinel-2 time series revealed their high capacity to identify poplar plantations at a local scale with an average F-score ranging from 89.5% to 99.3%. For large area adaptation, the results showed that when the same number of training samples was used, active learning outperformed random sampling by up to 5% of the overall accuracy and up to 12% of the class F-score. Additionally, and depending on the class considered, the random sampling model required up to 50% more samples to achieve the same performance of an active learning-based model. Moreover, the results demonstrate the suitability of the derived global model to accurately map poplar plantations among other tree species with overall accuracy values up to 14% higher than those obtained with local models. The proposed approach paves the way for a national scale mapping in an operational context.

The use of deep machine learning for the automated selection of remote sensing data for the determination of areas of arable land degradation processes distribution / Dimitri I. Rukhovitch in Remote sensing, vol 13 n° 1 (January 2021)

Ground-based methods for detecting degradation require a lot of labor and time. Remote methods based on the analysis of vegetation indices can significantly reduce the volume of ground surveys. Currently, machine learning methods are increasingly being used to analyze remote sensing data. In this paper, the task is set to apply deep machine learning methods and methods of vegetation indices calculation to automate the detection of areas of soil degradation development on arable land. In the course of the work, a method was developed for determining the location of degraded areas of soil cover on arable fields. The method is based on the use of multi-temporal remote sensing data. The selection of suitable remote sensing data scenes is based on deep machine learning. Deep machine learning was based on an analysis of 1028 scenes of Landsats 4, 5, 7 and 8 on 530 agricultural fields. Landsat data from 1984 to 2019 was analyzed. Dataset was created manually for each pair of “Landsat scene”/“agricultural field number”(for each agricultural field, the suitability of each Landsat scene was assessed). Areas of soil degradation were calculated based on the frequency of occurrence of low NDVI values over 35 years. Low NDVI values were calculated separately for each suitable fragment of the satellite image within the boundaries of each agricultural field. NDVI values of one-third of the field area and lower than the other two-thirds were considered low. During testing, the method gave 12.5% of type I errors (false positive) and 3.8% of type II errors (false negative). Independent verification of the method was carried out on six agricultural fields on an area of 713.3 hectares. Humus content and thickness of the humus horizon were determined in 42 ground-based points. In arable land degradation areas identified by the proposed method, the probability of detecting soil degradation by field methods was 87.5%. The probability of detecting soil degradation by ground-based methods outside the predicted regions was 3.8%. The results indicate that deep machine learning is feasible for remote sensing data selection based on a binary dataset. This eliminates the need for intermediate filtering systems in the selection of satellite imagery (determination of clouds, shadows from clouds, open soil surface, etc.). Direct selection of Landsat scenes suitable for calculations has been made. It allows automating the process of constructing soil degradation maps.

Unmixing-based Sentinel-2 downscaling for urban land cover mapping / Fei Xu in ISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing, vol 171 (January 2021)  

Public [article]  inISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing > vol 171 (January 2021) . - pp 133 - 154 Titre : Unmixing-based Sentinel-2 downscaling for urban land cover mapping Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Fei Xu, Auteur ; Ben Somers, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 133 - 154 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes descripteurs IGN] analyse des mélanges spectraux [Termes descripteurs IGN] bande spectrale [Termes descripteurs IGN] Berlin [Termes descripteurs IGN] Bruxelles [Termes descripteurs IGN] cartographie urbaine [Termes descripteurs IGN] Cologne [Termes descripteurs IGN] corrélation [Termes descripteurs IGN] fusion d'images [Termes descripteurs IGN] image Sentinel-MSI [Termes descripteurs IGN] matrice de co-occurrence [Termes descripteurs IGN] occupation du sol Résumé : (auteur) With the launch of Sentinel-2 new opportunities for large scale urban mapping arise. However, the spectral information embedded in the Sentinel-2 20 m spatial resolution bands cannot yet be fully explored in heterogeneous urban landscapes. The 20 m image pixels are often composed of different land covers, resulting in a difficult to interpret mixed pixel spectrum. Here, we propose an unmixing-based image fusion algorithm (UnFuSen2) that self-adapts to the spectral variability of varying land covers and improves the image fusion accuracy by constraining the unmixing equations on the basis of spectral mixing models and the correlation between spectral bands of coarse and fine spatial resolution, respectively. When compared to alternative state-of-the-art downscaling methods UnFuSen2 consistently showed the highest accuracy when applied across test sites in three different European cities (RMSEUnFuSen2 = 203 vs RMSEalternatives = [252, 337]). In a next step, we applied Multiple Endmember Spectral Mixture Analysis (MESMA) on the downscaled Sentinel-2 image cube (i.e. ten 10 m bands) to generate subpixel urban land cover fractions. We compared our MESMA results against the traditional MESMA output as applied on the original Sentinel-2 image cube (i.e. four 10 m bands and six 20 m bands) and tested its robustness against reference data obtained over all three study sites. Results revealed an average decrease in RMSE of respectively 18% and 8% for impervious surface and vegetation fractions when our approach was compared to the traditional MESMA outcomes.
