中国区域DMSP-OLS与NPP-VIIRS夜间灯光影像校正

本文基于对传统不变目标区域校正法的改进,选择4期辐射定标参考影像对DMSP-OLS影像进行了饱和校正与时间序列连续性校正。通过阈值法去除了NPP-VIIRS影像的背景噪声及异常值,利用对数变换压缩了其灯光辐射值的动态范围,使其亮度分布更接近于DMSP-OLS数据。利用BiDoseResp函数模型对NPP-VIIRS影像进行了一致性校正,获得了1992-2019年长时间序列夜间灯光影像。从定性、定量及校正影像与社会经济参量的相关性方面对校正结果进行了精度验证。结果表明,改进后的校正方法改善了DMSP-OLS影像饱和严重的现象,使其获得了长时间序列纵向可比性。BiDoseResp函数模型可以很好地拟合DMSP-OLS和对数变换后的NPP-VIIRS之间的回归。校正后的长时间序列灯光影像数据与社会经济参量高度契合。校正结果对推广长时间序列夜间灯光影像的广泛应用、深化长时间序列科学问题的研究具有重要价值。     

中国区域DMSP/OLS夜间灯光影像的校正

美国国防军事气象卫星（DMSP）搭载的线性扫描系统（OLS）获取的夜间灯光影像具有很强的光电放大能力,存储量小,可直观反映人类活动,被广泛应用于城镇化监测、社会经济因素估算等方面。但是获取这些数据集的各传感器均未经过星上定标,存在像元饱和问题,并且传感器获得的1992—2013年的各数据之间缺乏可比性、连续性,无法直接用于长时间序列的研究,因此需要对长时间序列的DMSP/OLS夜间灯光影像进行校正处理。校正内容包括中国区域各灯光影像间的相互校正、饱和校正、年内融合、年际间校正等;并对校正后的DMSP/OLS夜间灯光影像进行合理性检验,检验结果表明该校正方法是可行的。     

DMSP/OLS和VIIRS/DNB夜间灯光影像的校正及拟合

运用不变目标法对DMSP/OLS影像数据进行了相互校正、连续性校正和过饱和校正,以校正后的DMSP/OLS数据为参考对VⅡRS/DNB数据进行了重分类,利用两者影像数据在时间与空间中的重叠区域拟合VⅡRS/DNB数据,并对结果进行了评价,目的是获得长时间序列连续稳定的夜间灯光数据。同时建立了新疆区域校正后影像数据与社会经济指标中年末人口总数、生产总值、平均每天耗电量、建设用地之间的关系,探讨了夜间灯光数据在长时间序列下模拟社会经济参量的能力。结果表明,运用不变目标法校正后的夜间灯光影像更稳定、更连续,缩小了VⅡRS/DNB数据与DMSP/OLS数据像元DN值量级差异,使长时间序列下的灯光数据具有可比性。校正后长时间序列夜间灯光数据与社会经济参量的相关性高,说明校正后的长时间序列灯光影像数据在省级尺度上与社会经济指标契合。     

中巴经济走廊DMSP/OLS与NPP/VIIRS夜光数据辐射一致性校正

由美国国防气象卫星搭载的可见光成像线性扫描业务系统(DMSP/OLS)和国家极轨卫星搭载的可见光近红外成像辐射仪(NPP/VIIRS)获取的夜间灯光影像是监测人类社会经济活动和自然现象(如林火、油气燃烧等)的主要数据源。然而,现有的夜间灯光数据存在缺乏星上的辐射定标、像元饱和、时间尺度不连续、多源夜间灯光影像辐射不一致等问题。基于此,本文以中巴经济走廊区域为研究区,提出了一种基于线性拟合提取不变目标区域的方法,实现了DMSP/OLS影像间、DMSP/OLS与NPP/VIIRS两种数据间的相互校正。然后对中巴经济走廊的校正结果在不同空间尺度上选用区域灰度总量、标准化差异指数以及标准化差异指数和作为评价指标进行检验。结果表明:两种校正模型的拟合优度均在0.78以上,校正后的DMSP/OLS影像灰度总量与GDP和人口数据的相关性显著提高(GDP:R~2=0.7689;人口:R~2=0.9033),且标准化差异指数明显降低;NPP/VIIRS影像经过与DMSP/OLS互校正后在辐射亮度、时空分布上与DMSP/OLS更加一致,空间细节信息更加突出,从而增强了多源夜间灯光影像的一致性,更加适合用于长时间序列社会经济要素发展趋势的分析。     

基于ArcGIS的DMSP/OLS夜间灯光影像校正模型的构建

系统分析了DMSP/OLS非辐射标定夜间灯光强度数据本身的固有缺陷,提出了一套完整地对中国区域夜间灯光影像进行校正的技术思路,并基于ArcGIS地理信息平台进行了相应的模型构建,有效去除了灯光影像中非稳定亮值像元的影响以及影像序列中DN值的异常波动,增加了长时间序列夜间灯光影像的连续性和可比性,在数量尺度和空间尺度均取得了较好的校正效果。     

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。     

基于夜间灯光数据的南京城镇用地提取

针对多时相夜间灯光影像无法直接对比的问题,该文提出了一种基于不变目标进行不同年份不同卫星夜间灯光数据的校正方法。在系统校正多时相夜间灯光数据的基础上,应用支持向量机分类算法提取城镇用地信息,并分析1992—2013年南京城镇扩张动态变化规律。结果表明:该数据校正方法可以有效减少年际夜间灯光影像之间的异常差异,提高不同年份数据间的连续性和可比较性;支持向量机分类算法提取的4个样区城镇用地信息总体精度和Kappa系数平均值分别为88.35%和0.56,能够准确反映区域城镇发展的实际情况;1992—2013年南京城镇经历先缓慢后快速的扩张过程,主城区在1992年城镇基础上往四周扩张,并沿长江及南北交通走廊发展。     

基于特征分区的人口数据格网化研究

针对人口数据格网化分析不足的问题,可借助夜间灯光信息、地形信息、土地利用信息进行特征分区,在不同分区范围采用不同的方式构建人口空间格网化模型,反映人口在格网上的分布状态,提供了良好的小尺度统计人口方法。本文以四川省县区作为研究区域,对其进行特征分区,分为中心区(强灯光区)、一般灯光区和弱灯光区,分别采用圈层距离法、改进的夜间灯光建模法与土地利用建模法分析,并利用小一级的单位进行精度分析,研究表明:在灯光强度差距较大的一般灯光区,采用夜间灯光数据可以较好地模拟人口格网化数据,结果精度较高;在灯光强度差距较小的弱灯光区,土地利用模型可以有效地模拟人口空间分布;但灯光强度几乎饱和的中心区,采用圈层距离法,存在较大误差。     

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-VIIRS2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。     

引入路网和建筑物信息的DMSP/OLS数据去饱和方法

由于OLS (operational linescan system)传感器的缺陷,DMSP/OLS数据中的城市中心灯光值存在饱和性。提出了一种基于灯光贡献的综合指数去饱和方法,将路网和建筑物引入到去饱和模型中,并将增强型植被指数(enhanced vegetation index,EVI)作为辅助修正数据对夜间灯光数据去饱和。将该去饱和结果与基于EVI修正的灯光指数(EVI adjusted nighttime light index,EANTLI)从城区内部的地物区分能力、与辐射定标数据的拟合程度、对用电量的估算能力3方面进行比较。结果表明,综合指数在城市内部的细节刻画方面具有明显优势,地物区分能力较高;综合指数与辐射定标数据的整体拟合程度更高,且抽取穿过城区的单行数据拟合其R2最高可达0.928,相比EANTLI可提高0.1;与地区用电量拟合程度同样高于EANTLI,R2可达到0.901。综上,引入路网和建筑物的综合指数能够更好地解决数据饱和问题,且具有更高的可靠性。

激光测高仪回波波形饱和现象客观存在,为增加可用激光点数目、提高饱和波形测高精度,本文提出了一种波形饱和识别与测高误差改正方法,首先,利用回波波形峰度系数对饱和波形进行识别,然后,针对饱和现象对波形高斯拟合的影响,计算高斯拟合波形与原始波形相交区域的形心位置,以形心位置差异确定因波形饱和导致的测高误差并改正。最后,采用ICESat/GLAS（Ice,Cloud and land Elevation Satellite/Geo-science Laser Altimeter System）在青海湖、纳木错、色林错采集的波形数据进行实验。结果表明,经本文算法改正后数据误差均值为0.03 m,大型湖泊区域可实现约0.05 m的测高精度,结合峰度的饱和识别方法可以对波形进行有效筛选,可发现GLAS遗漏的饱和波形,饱和改正算法可以有效改正波形饱和引起的测高误差,改正后精度明显优于GLAS提供的饱和改正结果,相关结论对高分七号卫星激光波形处理有一定参考价值。     

Analyzing parcel-level relationships between Luojia 1-01 nighttime light intensity and artificial surface features across Shanghai,China: A comparison with NPP-VIIRS data

Nighttime light (NTL) remote sensing data have been widely used to derive socioeconomic indices at national and regional scales. However, few studies analyzed the factors that may explain NTL variations at a fine scale due to the limited resolution of existing NTL data. As a new generation NTL satellite, Luojia 1-01 provides NTL data with a finer spatial resolution of ∼130 m and can be used to assess the relationship between NTL intensity and artificial surface features on an unprecedented scale. This study represents the first efforts to assess the relationship between Luojia 1-01 NTL intensity and artificial surface features at the parcel level in comparison to the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership-Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (NPP-VIIRS) NTL data. Points-of-interest (POIs) and land-use/land-cover (LULC) data were used in random forest (RF) regression models for both Luojia 1-01 and NPP-VIIRS to analyze the feature contribution of artificial surface features to NTL intensity. The results show that luminosity variations in Luojia 1-01 data for different land-use types were more significant than those in NPP-VIIRS data because of the finer spatial resolution and wider measurement range. Seventeen variables extracted from POI and LULC data explained the Luojia 1-01 and NPP-VIIRS NTL intensity, with a good out-of-bag score of 0.62 and 0.76, respectively. Moreover, Luojia 1-01 data had fewer “blooming” phenomena than NPP-VIIRS data, especially for cropland, water body, and rural area. Luojia 1-01 is more suitable for estimating socioeconomic activities and can attain more comprehensive information on human activities, since the feature contribution of POI variables is more sensitive to NTL intensity in the Luojia 1-01 RF regression model than that in the NPP-VIIRS RF regression model.     

Evaluation of fuzzy-based classifiers for cotton crop identification

In this study, an evaluation of fuzzy-based classifiers for specific crop identification using multi-spectral temporal data spanning over one growing season has been carried out. The temporal data sets have been georeferenced with 0.3 pixel rms error. Temporal information of cotton crop has been incorporated through the following five indices: simple ratio (SR), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), transformed normalized difference vegetation index (TNDVI), soil-adjusted vegetation index (SAVI) and triangular vegetation index (TVI), to study the effect of indices on classified output. For this purpose, a comparative study between two fuzzy-based soft classification approaches, possibilistic c-means (PCM) and noise classifier (NC), was undertaken. In this study, advanced wide field sensor (AWiFS) data for soft classification and linear imaging self scanner sensor (LISS III) data for soft testing purpose from Resourcesat-1 (IRS-P6) satellite were used. It has been observed that NC fuzzy classifier using TNDVI temporal index – dataset 2, which comprises four temporal images performs better than PCM classifier giving highest fuzzy overall accuracy of 96.03%.

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.     

Comparison of the Landsat Surface Reflectance Climate Data Record (CDR) and manually atmospherically corrected data in a semi-arid European study area

This study contributes to the quality assessment of atmospherically corrected Landsat surface reflectance data that are routinely generated by the Landsat Ecosystem Disturbance Adaptive Processing System (LEDAPS). This dataset, named Landsat Surface Reflectance Climate Data Record (Landsat CDR), is available at global scale and offers unprecedented opportunities to land monitoring and management services that require atmospherically corrected Earth observation (EO) data. Our assessment is based on the comparison of the Landsat CDR data against a set of Landsat and DEIMOS-1 images processed to a high degree of accuracy using an industry-standard atmospheric correction algorithm (ATCOR-2). The software package has been used for many years and its correction procedures can be considered consolidated and well-established. The dataset of Landsat and DEIMOS-1 images was acquired over a semi-arid agricultural area located in Lower Austria and was independently corrected by using a manual fine-tuning of ATCOR-2 parameters to reach the highest possible accuracy. Results show a very good correspondence of the surface reflectance in each of the six reflective spectral channels as well as for the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). An additional comparison against a NDVI time series from MODIS revealed also a good correspondence. Coefficients of determination (R²) between the two multi-year and multi-seasonal Landsat/DEIMOS datasets range between 0.91 (blue band) and 0.98 (nIR, SWIR-1 and SWIR-2). The results obtained for our semi-arid test site in Austria confirm previous findings and suggest that automatic atmospheric procedures, such as the one implemented by LEDAPS are accurate enough to be used in land monitoring services that require consistent multi-temporal surface reflectance data.     

Fuzzy Based Approach for Moist Deciduous Forest Identification Using MODIS Temporal Data

Fuzzy based soft classification have been used immensely for handling the mixed pixel and hence to extract the single class of interest. The present research attempts to extract the moist deciduous forest from MODIS temporal data using the Possibilistic c-Means (PCM) soft classification approach. Temporal MODIS (7 dates) data were used to identify moist deciduous forest and temporal AWiFS (7 dates) data were used as reference data for testing. The Simple Ratio (SR), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI), and Transformed Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (TNDVI) were used to generate the temporal vegetation indices for both the MODIS and the AWiFS datasets. It was observed from the research that the MODIS temporal NDVI data set1, which contain the minimum number of images and avoids the temporal images corresponding to the highest frequency stages of onset of greenness (OG) and end of senescence (ES) activity of moist deciduous forest have been found most suitable data set for identification of moist deciduous forest with the maximum fuzzy overall accuracy of 96.731 %.
