However, the classical satellite-derived land cover/forest cover products with limited resolution are not fine enough for the identification of urban tree, which is usually appeared in small size and intersected with infrastructure. To relieve the dilemma, this study developed an urban tree specific sub-pixel mapping (SPM) architecture with deep learning approach, which aimed to generate 2m fine-scale urban tree cover product from 10 m Sentinel-2 images for large-scale area of 34 metropolises in China. The proposed approach has remarkable reconstruction ability for delineating the contextual characteristic of the urban tree patterns, and reliable generalization ability to large-scale area. In addition, this study creates a large-volume urban tree cover dataset (UTCD) with 0.13 billion urban tree samples at 2 m resolution, which fills the deficiency of standard dataset in urban tree cover research field. Quantitative analysis of our products was conducted on two typical study sites of Beijing and Wuhan. The results show that our products recover averagely more than 58.72% of urban tree covers that have been underestimated in the existing land cover/forest cover products, and outperforms the state-of-the-art approach both visually and quantitatively, by averagely 11.31% improvement in overall accuracy. From our annual products during 2016–2020, we found an evolution characteristic of urban tree cover: it is more stable in developed cities like Beijing, while more fluctuated in developing cities like Wuhan, and the alteration are usually concentrated at the outer-ring of downtown, which may be caused by the municipal planning and the land development of real estate industry.

Integrating terrestrial laser scanning and unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry to estimate individual tree attributes in managed coniferous forests in Japan / Katsuto Shimizu in International journal of applied Earth observation and geoinformation, vol 106 (February 2022)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of applied Earth observation and geoinformation > vol 106 (February 2022) . - n° 102658 Titre : Integrating terrestrial laser scanning and unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry to estimate individual tree attributes in managed coniferous forests in Japan Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Katsuto Shimizu, Auteur ; Tomohiro Nishizono, Auteur ; Fumiaki Kitahara, Auteur ; Keiko Fukumoto, Auteur ; Hideki Saito, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 102658 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications photogrammétriques [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] données localisées 3D [Termes IGN] estimation statistique [Termes IGN] hauteur des arbres [Termes IGN] image captée par drone [Termes IGN] Japon [Termes IGN] Pinophyta [Termes IGN] volume en bois Résumé : (auteur) The accurate estimation of tree attributes is essential for sustainable forest management. Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) is a viable remote sensing technology suitable for estimating under canopy structure. However, TLS measurements generally underestimate tree height in taller trees, which leads to the underestimation of other tree attributes (e.g., stem volume). The integration of information derived from TLS and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry could potentially improve tree height estimation. This study investigated the applicability of integrating TLS and UAV photogrammetry to estimate individual tree attributes in managed coniferous forests of Japan. Diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height, and stem volume were estimated by (1) TLS data only, (2) integrating TLS and UAV data with TLS tree locations, and (3) integrating TLS and UAV data with treetop detections of the tree canopy. The TLS data only approach achieved high accuracy for DBH estimations with a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 2.36 cm (RMSE% 5.6%); however, tree height was greatly underestimated, with an RMSE of 8.87 m (28.9%) and a bias of −8.39 m. Integrating TLS and UAV photogrammetric data improved tree height estimation accuracy for both the TLS tree location (RMSE of 1.89 m and a bias of −0.46 m) and the treetop detection (RMSE of 1.77 m and a bias of 0.36 m) approaches. Integrating TLS and UAV photogrammetric data also improved the accuracy of the stem volume estimations with RMSEs of 0.21 m3 (10.8%) and 0.21 m3 (10.5%) for the TLS tree location and treetop detection approaches, respectively. Although the tree height of suppressed trees tended to be overestimated by TLS and UAV photogrammetric data integration, a good performance was obtained for dominant trees. The results of this study indicate that the integration of TLS and UAV photogrammetry is beneficial for the accurate estimation of tree attributes in coniferous forests.

Mapping global flying aircraft activities using Landsat 8 and cloud computing / Fen Zhao in ISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing, vol 184 (February 2022)  

Public [article]  inISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing > vol 184 (February 2022) . - pp 19 - 30 Titre : Mapping global flying aircraft activities using Landsat 8 and cloud computing Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Fen Zhao, Auteur ; Lang Xia, Auteur ; Arve Kylling, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 19 - 30 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] analyse diachronique [Termes IGN] aviation civile [Termes IGN] cartographie thématique [Termes IGN] climat [Termes IGN] détection d'objet [Termes IGN] image Landsat-8 [Termes IGN] image Landsat-OLI [Termes IGN] informatique en nuage [Termes IGN] navigation aérienne [Termes IGN] trafic aérien [Termes IGN] transport aérien Résumé : (auteur) Satellite-based remote sensing might provide a potential way for monitoring the global flight activities and their environment impacts, while the remote sensing community pays less attention on it. In this study, we presented a flying aircraft detection algorithm which effectively handles the noise on Landsat 8 OLI cirrus band caused by energetic particles in the South Atlantic Anomaly region, and a new framework based on cloud infrastructure was proposed to map global flying aircraft activities from 2013 to 2020 using Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) data. Validation was performed for 254 scenes recorded for various cloudy and surface conditions and vapor contents. The overall percentages of false alarms and omissions for these validation images were 5.37% and 7.80%, respectively. Limited to the resolution of Landsat data, cloud, the size and flight altitude of the aircraft, 42.99% flying aircraft were undetected compared with the FlightRadar24. Instead of using the Google Earth Engine, we employed more flexible cloud computing techniques, Google Cloud Storage and Google Calculation Engine, to construct our framework for the larger volume data. A total of 1.94 million Landsat images were analyzed to obtain the activities maps, and the results showed that globally flying aircraft increased by 25.85% from 2014 to 2019 (the year 2013 was excluded for the low coverage of Landsat scenes), with an annual rate of 4.31%. In 2020, flying aircraft were reduced by 40% compared with 2019 due to the influence of COVID-19 and traveling restrictions, and Europe was the most severely affected by COVID-19, with an 84.59% decline of flying aircraft in April 2020. This study provides a unique long-term supplement to monitor aviation activities and their climate impact.

An open science and open data approach for the statistically robust estimation of forest disturbance areas / Saverio Francini in International journal of applied Earth observation and geoinformation, vol 106 (February 2022)

McRoberts, Auteur ; Giovanni d' Amico, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 102663 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] changement climatique [Termes IGN] coupe rase (sylviculture) [Termes IGN] détection de changement [Termes IGN] estimation statistique [Termes IGN] Fagus sylvatica [Termes IGN] Google Earth Engine [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-MSI [Termes IGN] Italie [Termes IGN] méthode robuste [Termes IGN] perturbation écologique [Termes IGN] Quercus cerris [Termes IGN] Quercus pedunculata [Termes IGN] Quercus pubescens [Termes IGN] Quercus sessiliflora [Termes IGN] surveillance forestière Résumé : (auteur) Forest disturbance monitoring is critical for understanding forest-related greenhouse gas emissions and for determining the role of forest management in mitigating climate change. Multiple algorithms for the automated mapping of forest disturbance using remotely sensed imagery have been developed and applied; however, variability in natural and anthropogenic disturbance phenomena, as well as image acquisition conditions, can result in maps that may be incomplete or that contain inaccuracies that prevent their use for directly estimating areas of disturbance. To reduce errors in reporting disturbance areas, stratified estimators can be applied to obtain statistically robust area estimates, while simultaneously circumventing the need to conduct a complete census or in situations where such a census may not be possible. We present a semi-automated procedure for implementation in Google Earth Engine, 3I3D-GEE, for regional to global mapping of forest disturbance (including clear-cut harvesting, fire, and wind damage) and sample-based estimation of related areas using data from the processing capacity of Google Earth Engine. Documentation for the application is also provided in Appendix A. Using Sentinel-2 (S2) imagery, our procedure was applied and tested for 2018 in Italy for which the approximately 11 million ha of forests (mostly Q. pubescens, Q. robur, Q. cerris, Q. petraea, and Fagus sylvatica) serve as an appropriate case study because national statistics on forest disturbance areas are not available. To decrease the overall standard errors of the area estimates, the sampling intensities in areas where greater variability in the form of greater commission and omission errors are expected can be increased. To this end, we augmented the predicted forest disturbance map with a buffer class consisting of a two-pixel buffer (20 m) on each side of the disturbance class boundary. We selected a reference sample of 19,300 points: a simple random sample of 9,300 points from the buffer and simple random samples of 5000 from each of the undisturbed and disturbed classes. The reference sample was photointerpreted using fine resolution orthophotos (30 cm) and S2 imagery. While the estimate of the disturbed area obtained by adding the areas of pixels classified as disturbed was 41,732 ha, the estimate obtained using the unbiased stratified estimator was 27% greater at 57,717716 ha. Regarding map accuracy, we found several omission errors in the buffer (53.4%) but none (0%) in the undisturbed map class. Similarly, among the 1035 commission errors, the majority (7 4 4) were in the buffer class. The methods presented herein provide a useful tool that can be used to estimate areas of forest disturbance, which many nations must report as part of their commitment to international conventions and treaties. In addition, the information generated can support forest management, enabling the forest sector to monitor stand-replacing forest harvesting over space and time.

However, such an approach usually requires great computational efforts, making it challenging to adopt for surveying fast moving processes like glaciers, particularly over wide areas. We present a local adaptive multiscale image matching algorithm (LAMMA), which repeatedly applies image correlation on grids of increasing spatial resolution and adapts the size of the interrogation area according to the local range of displacements. LAMMA allows reducing the number of calculi of several orders of magnitude and limits the occurrence of displacement outliers. We show an example of LAMMA application on Sentinel-2 images to measure glaciers flow of the Southern Patagonian Icefield, where LAMMA's runtime was comparable to that of frequency-based correlation. LAMMA's Matlab code is freely available on GitHub.
