DMSP-OLS与NPP-VIIRS夜间灯光数据测算统计指标能力评估——以京津冀地区县域GDP、人口及能源消耗为例

夜间灯光数据记录了地球表面的人造灯光强度,是估计社会统计指标的有效手段之一。为了评估DMSP-OLS和NPP-VIIRS 2种夜间灯光数据对社会统计指标的模拟潜力,采用4种常用的灯光校正方法分别对2种夜间灯光数据进行灯光饱和性校正,根据校正后的夜间灯光数据分别建立与京津冀地区县域GDP、人口和能源消耗3种社会统计指标间的线性回归模型,从模型拟合的相关系数、F统计量值与概率p值中分析并评价了2种夜间灯光数据对GDP、人口和能源消耗3种社会统计指标的测算能力。本文研究结果表明：EANTLI法是2种夜间灯光数据的最佳校正方式,而HSI法不适用于夜间灯光数据校正后与县域社会统计指标的线性关系拟合2种夜间灯光数据对GDP的拟合效果都较好,NPP-VIIRS夜间灯光数据估算社会统计指标的拟合能力要优于DMSP-OLS数据。     

DMSP-OLS与NPP-VIIRS夜间灯光遥感影像数据整合

DMSP-OLS夜间灯光遥感数据截至2013年,现已被NPP-VIIRS夜间灯光数据取代。因此,要获得长时间序列且稳定的夜间灯光数据集,需要整合两类夜间灯光数据。基于此,本文提出了基于重采样的两类数据整合方法,对2013—2020年NPP-VIIRS数据进行模拟,最终建立了1992—2020年长时间序列校正—模拟DMSP-OLS夜光遥感数据集。结果表明,基于重采样的整合方法效果良好(城市区域Pearson相关系数ρ=0.9852,RMSE=3.4607),整合数据集与相关社会经济参考量高度契合(影像DN值总和与GDP的相关系数ρ=0.946,与人口的相关系数ρ=0.971,二次多项式模型拟合R²≈0.98,RMSE<5.55),优于已有研究。因此,利用该方法整合后的数据集能更好地支撑基于夜间灯光影像的长时间序列研究。     

中国DMSP-OLS长时间序列夜间灯光遥感数据饱和校正研究

利用夜间灯光数据进行长时期社会经济问题研究时,需要对数据饱和校正,从而得到可信可靠的研究结果。针对不变区域法在长时间序列夜间灯光数据饱和校正时假设不变区域数据不随时间变化以及未区分数据饱和部分和未饱和部分的不足,本文提出首先对数据年际校正,再以NDVI数据为辅助进行饱和校正的方法。年际校正时准确定义了基准区域和基准年份,饱和校正过程中分别对不同城市聚类分区构建校正模型。研究发现,夜间灯光数据包括未饱和部分和饱和部分,饱和阈值为30;两部分数据亮度值与相应无饱和数据亮度值的函数关系不同,未饱和部分符合线性模型,饱和部分符合指数模型;区分不同城市聚类分区进行饱和校正十分必要,尤其是大范围区域数据饱和校正;以NDVI足迹数据为辅助,运用指数模型对饱和部分数据校正后,数据值域增大,空间异质性增强,与区域GDP拟合程度改善,很好地消除了由于卫星传感器设置特性产生的饱和效应,得到更好反映人类社会经济活动强度和空间分布特征的长时间序列饱和校正夜间灯光数据。文中得到的年际校正和饱和校正模型可以不做参数调整而直接运用,校正方法适用性较强。     

Remote sensing and social sensing for socioeconomic systems: A comparison study between nighttime lights and location-based social media at the 500 m spatial resolution

With the advent of “social sensing” in the Big Data era, location-based social media (LBSM) data are increasingly used to explore anthropogenic activities and their impacts on the environment. This study converts a typical kind of LBSM data, geo-tagged tweets, into raster images at the 500 m spatial resolution and compares them with the new generation nighttime lights (NTL) image products, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB) monthly image composites. The results show that the monthly tweet images are significantly correlated with the VIIRS-DNB images at the pixel level. The tweet images have nearly the same ability on estimating electric power consumption and better performance on assessing personal incomes and population than the NTL images. Tweeted areas (i.e. the pixels with at least one posted tweet) are closer to satellite-derived built-up/urban areas than lit areas in NTL imagery, making tweet images an alternative to delimit extents of human activities. Moreover, the monthly tweet images do not show apparent seasonal changes, and the values of tweet images are more stable across different months than VIIRS-DNB monthly image composites. This study explores the potential of LBSM data at relatively fine spatiotemporal resolutions to estimate or map socioeconomic factors as an alternative to NTL images in the United States.

Land cover classification of finer resolution remote sensing data integrating temporal features from time series coarser resolution data

Land cover classification of finer resolution remote sensing data is always difficult to acquire high-frequency time series data which contains temporal features for improving classification accuracy. This paper proposed a method of land cover classification with finer resolution remote sensing data integrating temporal features extracted from time series coarser resolution data. The coarser resolution vegetation index data is first fused with finer resolution data to obtain time series finer resolution data. Temporal features are extracted from the fused data and added to improve classification accuracy. The result indicates that temporal features extracted from coarser resolution data have significant effect on improving classification accuracy of finer resolution data, especially for vegetation types. The overall classification accuracy is significantly improved approximately 4% from 90.4% to 94.6% and 89.0% to 93.7% for using Landsat 8 and Landsat 5 data, respectively. The user and producer accuracies for all land cover types have been improved.

A twenty year GIS-based assessment of environmental sustainability of land use changes in and around protected areas of a fast developing country: Spain

Spain has experienced massive recent socioeconomic changes that have had an influence on biodiversity and landscapes through land use-land cover (LULC) changes. Protected areas (PAs) seek to conserve biodiversity by establishing a legal and, sometimes, managerial regime that forbids or restricts LULC changes that are damaging to biodiversity. Here, we used CORINE Land Cover (CLC) data between 1987 and 2006 to assess differences in LULC changes and processes of change as metrics of effectiveness in four PA networks of clear legal and managerial characteristics in Spain: Nature reserves (NRs), Nature parks (NPs), Sites of Community Importance (SCIs) and Special Protection Areas (SPAs). We also compared LULC changes and processes of change around each PA network applying a modified Before-After-Control-Impact (BACI) research design with two increasingly distant control areas and two models of increased validity. The four PA networks were more environmentally sustainable than their surrounding areas although an effectiveness gradient was shown: NRs > SCIs > SPAs > NPs, suggesting little influence of PA management on LULC changes overall. Another gradient of environmental sustainability of control areas was evident: SCIs > SPAs > NPs > NRs. Proximal controls were more sustainable than distant ones. The main LULC increases inside PAs affected agro-forestry areas and transitional woodland-shrub, whereas artificial surfaces, permanently irrigated lands and burned areas prevailed in the proximal and distant controls. Three main LULC processes of change inside and around Spanish PAs outstood: forest succession, land development, and new irrigated areas, the two former chiefly affecting surrounding areas and posing serious threats to effective biodiversity conservation.

Cross-sensor calibration between Ikonos and Landsat ETM+ for spectral mixture analysis

Spectral mixture analysis is an algorithm that is developed to overcome the weakness in traditional land-use/land-cover (LULC) classification where each picture element (pixel) from remote sensing is assigned to one and only one LULC type. In reality, a remotely sensed signal from a pixel is often a spectral mixture from several LULC types. Spectral mixture analysis can derive subpixel proportions for the endmembers from remotely sensed data. However, one frequently faces the problem in determining the spectral signatures for the endmembers. This study provides a cross-sensor calibration algorithm that enables us to obtain the endmember signatures from an Ikonos multispectral image for spectral mixture analysis using Landsat ETM+ images. The calibration algorithm first converts the raw digital numbers from both sensors into at-satellite reflectance. Then, the Ikonos at-satellite reflectance image is degraded to match the spatial resolution of the Landsat ETM+ image. The histograms at the same spatial resolution from the two images are matched, and the signatures from the pure pixels in the Ikonos image are used as the endmember signatures. Validation of the spectral mixture analysis indicates that the simple algorithm works effectively. The algorithm is not limited to Ikonos and Landsat sensors. It is, in general, applicable to spectral mixture analysis where a high spatial resolution sensor and a low spatial resolution sensor with similar spectral resolutions are available as long as images collected by the two sensors are close in time over the same place.     

ALOS PALSAR and Hyperion Data Fusion for Land Use Land Cover Feature Extraction

Detailed and enhanced land use land cover (LULC) feature extraction is possible by merging the information extracted from two different sensors of different capability. In this study different pixel level image fusion algorithms (PCA, Brovey, Multiplicative, Wavelet and combination of PCA & IHS) are used for integrating the derived information like texture, roughness, polarization from microwave data and high spectral information from hyperspectral data. Span image which is total intensity image generated from Advanced Land observing Satellite-Phase array L-band SAR (ALOS-PALSAR) quad polarization data and EO-1 Hyperion data (242 spectral bands) were used for fusion. Overall PCA fused images had shown better result than other fusion techniques used in this study. However, Brovey fusion method was found good for differentiating urban features. Classification using support vector machines was conducted for classifying Hyperion, ALOS PALSAR and fused images. It was observed that overall classification accuracy and kappa coefficient with PCA fused images was relatively better than other fusion techniques as it was able to discriminate various LULC features more clearly.

Hyperspectral imagery for disaggregation of land surface temperature with selected regression algorithms over different land use land cover scenes

Land surface temperature (LST), a key parameter in understanding thermal behavior of various terrestrial processes, changes rapidly and hence mapping and modeling its spatio-temporal evolution requires measurements at frequent intervals and finer resolutions. We designed a series of experiments for disaggregation of LST (DLST) derived from the Landsat ETM + thermal band using narrowband reflectance information derived from the EO1-Hyperion hyperspectral sensor and selected regression algorithms over three geographic locations with different climate and land use land cover (LULC) characteristics. The regression algorithms applied to this end were: partial least square regression (PLS), gradient boosting machine (GBM) and support vector machine (SVM). To understand the scale dependence of regression algorithms for predicting LST, we developed individual models (local models) at four spatial resolutions (480 m, 240 m, 120 m and 60 m) and tested the differences between these using RMSE derived from cross-validated samples. The sharpening capabilities of the models were assessed by predicting LST at finer resolutions using models developed at coarser spatial resolution. The results were also compared with LST produced by DisTrad sharpening model. It was found that scale dependence of the models is a function of the study area characteristics and regression algorithms. Considering the sharpening experiments, both GBM and SVM performed better than PLS which produced noisy LST at finer spatial resolutions. Based on the results, it can be concluded that GBM and SVM are more suitable algorithms for operational implementation of this application. These algorithms outperformed DisTrad model for heterogeneous landscapes with high variation in soil moisture content and photosynthetic activities. The variable importance measure derived from PLS and GBM provided insights about the characteristics of the relevant bands. The results indicate that wavelengths centered around 457, 671, 1488 and 2013–2083 nm are the most important in predicting LST. Nevertheless, further research is needed to improve the performance of regression algorithms when there is a large variability in LST and to examine the utility of narrowband vegetation indices to predict the LST. The benefits of this research may extend to applications such as monitoring urban heat island effect, volcanic activity and wildfire, estimating evapotranspiration and assessing drought severity.     

Detecting land-use/land-cover change in rural–urban fringe areas using extended change-vector analysis

Detecting land-use/land-cover (LULC) changes in rural–urban fringe areas (RUFAs) timely and accurately using satellite imagery is essential for land-use planning and management in China. Although traditional spectral-based change-vector analysis (CVA) can effectively detect LULC change in many cases, it encounters difficulties in RUFAs because of deficiencies in the spectral information of satellite images. To detect LULC changes in RUFAs effectively, this paper proposes an extended CVA approach that incorporates textural change information into the traditional spectral-based CVA. The extended CVA was applied to three different pilot RUFAs in China with different remotely sensed data, including Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM), China–Brazil Earth Resources Satellite (CBERS) and Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) images. The results demonstrated the improvement of the extended CVA compared to the traditional spectral-based CVA with the overall accuracy increased between 4.66% and 8.00% and the kappa coefficient increased between 0.10 and 0.15, respectively. The advantage of the extended CVA lies in its integration of both spectral and textural change information to detect LULC changes, allowing for effective discrimination of LULC changes that are spectrally similar but texturally different in RUFAs. The extended CVA has great potential to be widely used for LULC-change detection in RUFAs, which are often heterogeneous and fragmental in nature, with rich textural information.

Evaluation of image fusion methods using PALSAR,RADARSAT-1 and SPOT images for land use/ land cover classification

This research aimed to explore the fusion of multispectral optical SPOT data with microwave L-band ALOS PALSAR and C-band RADARSAT-1 data for a detailed land use/cover mapping to find out the individual contributions of different wavelengths. Many fusion approaches have been implemented and analyzed for various applications using different remote sensing images. However, the fusion methods have conflict in the context of land use/cover (LULC) mapping using optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images together. In this research two SAR images ALOS PALSAR and RADARSAT-1 were fused with SPOT data. Although, both SAR data were gathered in same polarization, and had same ground resolution, they differ in wavelengths. As different data fusion methods, intensity hue saturation (IHS), principal component analysis, discrete wavelet transformation, high pass frequency (HPF), and Ehlers, were performed and compared. For the quality analyses, visual interpretation was applied as a qualitative analysis, and spectral quality metrics of the fused images, such as correlation coefficient (CC) and universal image quality index (UIQI) were applied as a quantitative analysis. Furthermore, multispectral SPOT image and SAR fused images were classified with Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC) method for the evaluation of their efficiencies. Ehlers gave the best score in the quality analysis and for the accuracy of LULC on LULC mapping of PALSAR and RADARSAT images. The results showed that the HPF method is in the second place with an increased thematic mapping accuracy. IHS had the worse results in all analyses. Overall, it is indicated that Ehlers method is a powerful technique to improve the LULC classification.     

Multiple band digital orthophoto quadrangle data: A source for generating land use maps

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of color infrared‐digital orthophoto quadrangle (CIR‐DOQ) data to generate land use/land cover (LULC) maps and to incorporate them as data layers in geographic information systems (GIS) involving various resource management scenarios. The Danville 7.5‐minute quadrangle located in the southern part of Limestone and Morgan counties, Alabama, was used as the study site. Data for the special CIR‐DOQ were generated by scanning four 9x9 inch CIR aerial photographs at a uniform pixel sample grid of 25 microns resulting in 2 meters ground sample resolution. One‐half of the quadrangle was used to identify training sites for performing a supervised classification of the data and the other half to verify the accuracy of the classification. The CIR‐DOQ data were found to be adequate for using a supervised classification algorithm to differentiate major LULC classes, resulting in a classification accuracy of 93 percent. The superior spatial quality of the data over commençai satellite data affords resource managers an opportunity to more effectively study land cover and surface hydrological properties of an area, soil moisture and surface soil textures, as well as differentiate among vegetation species, using remote sensing techniques. However, caution must be exercised when using multispectral classification techniques to classify mosaicked CIRDOQ data because of the image enhancements used to generate the final product. In its present form, there are some limitations to the use of the data for performing spectral classifications. Hozvever, the high spatial resolution of the data enables even the novice resource planner to effectively use the data in visual interpretations of major LULC classes.     

融合多源时序遥感数据大尺度不透水面覆盖率估算

不透水面信息是监测城市扩张及区域生态环境变化研究的重要指标,基于遥感技术对地表不透水面信息进行快速提取具有重要意义。传统大范围不透水面覆盖率估算模型主要基于单一遥感信息与不透水面比例之间的相关性,通过单因子回归模型实现不透水面覆盖率的估算。受限于单一遥感信息的信息量及普适性等影响,这类方法在大尺度不透水面提取中具有较大局限性,估算结果的区域适应性存在较大差异。针对该问题,本文提出基于多特征遥感信息进行不透水面估算的方法,以弥补单一特征在大范围不透水面提取中的不确定性。该方法首先以多时相MOD13Q1、MOD09A1产品、夜间灯光数据（NPP-VIIRS）和Landsat 8 OLI为遥感数据源,从不同角度构建突出不透水面信息的多个指数特征;在此基础上利用多元回归模型建立多因子不透水面覆盖率估算模型,进而实现大尺度不透水面覆盖率的遥感估算。本研究选择分布于全国范围内13个典型城市作为主要研究区对提出的模型进行了验证,结果表明：该方法能够适应不同区域不透水面覆盖率的估算,在复杂城市区域表现出较传统方法更好的效果,明显改善了城市内部不透水面覆盖率的估算精度。     

Detecting and Downscaling Wet Areas on Boreal Landscapes

This letter presents an approach to classify wet areas from European Remote Sensing 2 (ERS-2) synthetic aperture radar (SAR)-, Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM)-, and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)-derived terrain data and downscale the result from the coarse resolution of satellite images to finer resolutions needed for land managers. Using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and support vector machines (SVM), the algorithm finds multiple relationships between the radar, optical, and terrain data and wet areas at different spatial scales. Decomposing and reconstructing processes are performed using a 2-D DWT (2D-DWT) and inverse 2D-DWT respectively. The underlying relationships between radar, optical, and terrain data and wet areas are learned by training an SVM at the coarse resolution of the wet-area map. The SVM is then applied on the predictors at a finer resolution to produce wet-area detailing images, which are needed to reconstruct a finer resolution wet-area map. The algorithm is applied to a boreal landscape in northern Alberta, Canada, characterized by many wet-area features including ephemeral and permanent streams and wetlands.
