High pulse density Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) holds promise to provide spatially resolved and accurate estimates of plant area density (PAD) in forested landscapes, a key step in understanding forest functioning: phenology, carbon uptake, transpiration, radiative balance etc. Inconsistencies between different ALS sensors is a barrier to generating globally harmonised PAD estimates. The basic assumption on which PAD estimation is based is that light attenuation is proportional to vegetation area density. This study shows that the recorded extinction strongly depends on target detectability which is influenced by laser characteristics (power, sensitivity, wavelength). Three different airborne laser scanners were flown over a wet tropical forest at the Paracou research station in French Guiana. Different sensors, flight heights and transmitted power levels were compared. Light attenuation was retrieved with an open source ray-tracing code (http://amapvox.org). Direct comparison revealed marked differences (up-to 25% difference in profile-averaged light attenuation rate and 50% difference at particular heights) that could only be explained by differences in scanner characteristics. We show how bias which may occur under various acquisition conditions can generally be mitigated by a sensor intercalibration. Alignment of light weight lidar attenuation profiles to ALS reference attenuation profiles is not always satisfactory and we discuss what are the likely sources of discrepancies. Neglecting the dependency of apparent light attenuation on scanner properties may lead to biases in estimated vegetation density commensurate to those affecting light attenuation estimates. Applying intercalibration procedures supports estimation of plant area density independent of acquisition characteristics.

Main motivation in that early phase was the cost effective airborne image collection at areas of limited size. This was already feasible by rather simple payloads like an off-the-shelf, compact camera and a navigation-grade GNSS sensor. Meanwhile, dedicated sensor systems enable applications that have not been feasible in the past. One example is the airborne collection of dense 3D point clouds at millimetre accuracies, which will be discussed in our paper. For this purpose, we collect both LiDAR and image data from a joint UAV platform and apply a so-called hybrid georeferencing. This process integrates photogrammetric bundle block adjustment with direct georeferencing of LiDAR point clouds. By these means georeferencing accuracy is improved for the LiDAR point cloud by an order of magnitude. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach in the context of a project, which aims on monitoring of subsidence of about 10 mm/year. The respective area of interest is defined by a ship lock and its vicinity of mixed use. In that area, multiple UAV flights were captured and evaluated for a period of three years. As our main contribution, we demonstrate that 3D point accuracies at sub-centimetre level can be achieved. This is realized by joint orientation of laser scans and images in a hybrid adjustment framework, which enables accuracies corresponding to the GSD of the captured imagery.

Comparing methods to extract crop height and estimate crop coefficient from UAV imagery using structure from motion / Nitzan Malachy in Remote sensing, vol 14 n° 4 (February-2 2022)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing > vol 14 n° 4 (February-2 2022) . - n° 810 Titre : Comparing methods to extract crop height and estimate crop coefficient from UAV imagery using structure from motion Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Nitzan Malachy, Auteur ; Imri Zadak, Auteur ; Offer Rozenstein, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 810 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications photogrammétriques [Termes IGN] analyse spectrale [Termes IGN] covariance [Termes IGN] cultures [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] hauteur de la végétation [Termes IGN] hétérogénéité spatiale [Termes IGN] image captée par drone [Termes IGN] modèle de croissance végétale [Termes IGN] régression linéaire [Termes IGN] série temporelle [Termes IGN] structure-from-motion [Termes IGN] zone d'intérêt Résumé : (auteur) Although it is common to consider crop height in agricultural management, variation in plant height within the field is seldom addressed because it is challenging to assess from discrete field measurements. However, creating spatial crop height models (CHMs) using structure from motion (SfM) applied to unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery can easily be done. Therefore, looking into intra- and inter-season height variability has the potential to provide regular information for precision management. This study aimed to test different approaches to deriving crop height from CHM and subsequently estimate the crop coefficient (Kc). CHMs were created for three crops (tomato, potato, and cotton) during five growing seasons, in addition to manual height measurements. The Kc time-series were derived from eddy-covariance measurements in commercial fields and estimated from multispectral UAV imagery in small plots, based on known relationships between Kc and spectral vegetation indices. A comparison of four methods (Mean, Sample, Median, and Peak) was performed to derive single height values from CHMs. Linear regression was performed between crop height estimations from CHMs against manual height measurements and Kc. Height was best predicted using the Mean and the Sample methods for all three crops (R2 = 0.94, 0.84, 0.74 and RMSE = 0.056, 0.071, 0.051 for cotton, potato, and tomato, respectively), as was the prediction of Kc (R2 = 0.98, 0.84, 0.8 and RMSE = 0.026, 0.049, 0.023 for cotton, potato, and tomato, respectively). The Median and Peak methods had far less success in predicting both, and the Peak method was shown to be sensitive to the size of the area analyzed. This study shows that CHMs can help growers identify spatial heterogeneity in crop height and estimate the crop coefficient for precision irrigation applications.

Novel model for predicting individuals’ movements in dynamic regions of interest / Xiaoqi Shen in GIScience and remote sensing, vol 59 n° 1 (2022)

However, existing location prediction methods rarely incorporate temporal changes in mobility patterns, which could lead to unreliable predictions. In particular, human mobility patterns have changed greatly in the COVID-19 era. We propose a novel model to predict individuals’ movements in dynamic regions of interest (ROIs), taking into account changes in activity areas and movement regularity. To address changes in the activity areas, we design a new updating strategy that can ensure the realistic extraction of an individual’s ROIs. Then, we develop an integration model for changes in the movement regularity based on two newly proposed prediction methods that consider both rapid and slow changes. The proposed integration model is evaluated based on five real-world social media datasets; three Weibo datasets related to COVID-19 collected in three Chinese cities, one Twitter dataset collected in New York and one dense GPS dataset. The results demonstrate that the proposed model can achieve better performances than state-of-the-art models, especially when mobility patterns change greatly. Combined with related pandemic data, this study will benefit pandemic prevention and control.

Researching in this field is evolving increasingly. However, we are at the beginning of a research pathway towards a future generation of intelligent transportation systems. In fact, challenging conditions in real-world driving circumstances, infrastructure monitoring, and accurate real-time system response, are the predominant concerns when developing such systems. Recent improvements and breakthroughs in scene understanding for intelligent transportation systems have been mainly based on deep learning and the fusion of different modalities. In this context, firstly, we introduce OLIMP : A heterOgeneous MuLtimodal Dataset for Advanced EnvIronMent Perception . This is the first public, multimodal and synchronized dataset that includes Ultra Wide-Band (UWB) radar data, acoustic data, narrowband radar data and images. OLIMP comprises 407 scenes and 47,354 synchronized frames, including four categories: pedestrians, cyclists, cars and trams. The dataset presents various challenges related to dense urban traffic such as cluttered environments and differentweather conditions. To demonstrate the usefulness of the introduced dataset, we propose, afterwards, a fusion framework that combines the four modalities for multi object detection. The obtained results are promising and spur for future research. In short range settings, UWB radars represent a promising technology for building reliable obstacle detection systems as they are robust to environmental conditions. However, UWB radars suffer from a segmentation challenge: localizing relevant Regions Of Interests (ROIs) within its signals. Therefore, we put froward a segmentation approach to detect ROIs in an environment perception-dedicated UWB radar as a third contribution. Specifically, we implement a differential entropy analysis to detect ROIs. The obtained results show higher performance in terms of obstacle detection compared to state-of-theart techniques, as well as stable robustness even with low amplitude signals. Subsequently, we propose a novel framework that exploits Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) with UWB signals for multiple road obstacle detection as a deep learning-based approach. Features are extracted from the time-frequency domain using the discrete wavelet transform and are forwarded to the Long short-term memory (LSTM) network. The obtained results show that the LSTM-based system outperforms the other implemented related techniques in terms of obstacle detection.
