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.

A novel unsupervised change detection method from remotely sensed imagery based on an improved thresholding algorithm / Sara Khanbani in Applied geomatics, vol 13 n° 1 (May 2021)

Because of the diversity in the problem of change detection and the complexity of the study areas it cannot be claimed that there is an appropriate and prevalent algorithm which is more effective for different types of the case study. As a fundamental investigation, it is critical to recognize the weaknesses of the state of artworks in change detection. Also, those examined weaknesses have to be improved aptly to develop a new strong method. This paper presents a thresholding algorithm improved by the Genetic Algorithm (GA) in CD problems, which focuses on minimizing a novel cost function. The suggested cost function can be adopted for local and global change variations in difference images without any prior assumptions. The presented algorithm was tested on two data sets (i.e., Alaska region and Uremia Lake) to validate its effectiveness. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed algorithm in this work has improved the accuracy of change detection (changed pixel accuracy term) in the Alaska region about 8%–12% and also in Uremia Lake approximately between 8%–13% in comparison with other conventional methods including Fuzzy C- Means (FCM), Otsu thresholding, K-Means, and K-Medoid.

3D change detection using adaptive thresholds based on local point cloud density / Dan Liu in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 10 n° 3 (March 2021)  

Public [article]  inISPRS International journal of geo-information > vol 10 n° 3 (March 2021) . - n° 127 Titre : 3D change detection using adaptive thresholds based on local point cloud density Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Dan Liu, Auteur ; Dajun Li, Auteur ; Meizhen Wang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 127 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Lasergrammétrie [Termes descripteurs IGN] classification barycentrique [Termes descripteurs IGN] densité des points [Termes descripteurs IGN] détection de changement [Termes descripteurs IGN] données lidar [Termes descripteurs IGN] données localisées 3D [Termes descripteurs IGN] MNS lidar [Termes descripteurs IGN] scène urbaine [Termes descripteurs IGN] semis de points [Termes descripteurs IGN] seuillage de points Résumé : (auteur) In recent years, because of highly developed LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technologies, there has been increasing demand for 3D change detection in urban monitoring, urban model updating, and disaster assessment. In order to improve the effectiveness of 3D change detection based on point clouds, an approach for 3D change detection using point-based comparison is presented in this paper. To avoid density variation in point clouds, adaptive thresholds are calculated through the k-neighboring average distance and the local point cloud density. A series of experiments for quantitative evaluation is performed. In the experiments, the influencing factors including threshold, registration error, and neighboring number of 3D change detection are discussed and analyzed. The results of the experiments demonstrate that the approach using adaptive thresholds based on local point cloud density are effective and suitable.

An improved rainfall-threshold approach for robust prediction and warning of flood and flash flood hazards / Geraldo Moura Ramos Filho in Natural Hazards, Vol 105 n° 3 (February 2021)

The improvements involve the use of two tolerance levels and the delineating of an intermediate threshold by incorporating an exponential curve that relates rainfall intensity and Antecedent Precipitation Index (API). The application of the tolerance levels presents an average increase of 14% in the Probability of Detection (POD) of flood and flash flood occurrences above the upper threshold. Moreover, a considerable exclusion (63%) of non-occurrences of floods and flash floods in between the two thresholds significantly reduce the number of false alarms. The intermediate threshold using the exponential curves also exhibits improvements for almost all time steps of both hydrological hazards, with the best results found for floods correlating 8-h peak intensity and 8 days API, with POD and Positive Predictive Value (PPV) values equal to 81% and 82%, respectively. This study provides strong indications that the new proposed rainfall threshold-based approach can help reduce the uncertainties in predicting the occurrences of floods and flash floods.

Acquisition of weak GPS signals using wavelet-based de-noising methods / Mohaddeseh Sharie in Survey review, vol 52 n° 375 (November 2020)

This phenomenon leads to some problems in the normal stages of the positioning process, including acquisition stage. The wavelet transform is one of the tools that have been employed in several methods to improve receiver’s sensitivity in confronting weak GPS signals. Choosing an appropriate threshold plays a key role in the performance of this de-noising method. This study presents two methods for selecting an appropriate threshold. In the first method, the threshold is determined based on the statistical information extracted from the signal. On the other hand, the threshold in the second method is determined by type II fuzzy sets. The results show that employment of these two methods increases SNR gain as well as the range of acquirable SNR which makes signals acquisition with minimum post-correlation SNR of −6.5dB in a GPS receiver possible.
