使用多尺度模糊融合的高分影像变化检测

为了提高高分辨率遥感影像变化检测的可靠性,提出了一种基于模糊综合评判的遥感影像变化检测方法。首先对两个时相的影像进行波段叠加,对多波段新影像进行多尺度分割;然后针对单一尺度上的对象,综合考虑两时相遥感影像对象的光谱特征和纹理特征,建立模糊综合评判模型,对各个对象内的像素是否发生变化进行隶属度计算;最后采用熵权法对影像各个像素在不同尺度的"软"模糊评判结果进行定权处理和加权融合。实验以两组不同时相的高分影像为例,实现了基于模糊逻辑的多尺度变化检测有效融合,充分利用了多层次的像素特征,得到了整体优于单一尺度面向对象变化检测的结果,为多尺度变化检测提供了新的思路。

Exploring uncertainty in remotely sensed data with parallel coordinate plots

The existence of uncertainty in classified remotely sensed data necessitates the application of enhanced techniques for identifying and visualizing the various degrees of uncertainty. This paper, therefore, applies the multidimensional graphical data analysis technique of parallel coordinate plots (PCP) to visualize the uncertainty in Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data classified by the Maximum Likelihood Classifier (MLC) and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM). The Landsat TM data are from the Yellow River Delta, Shandong Province, China. Image classification with MLC and FCM provides the probability vector and fuzzy membership vector of each pixel. Based on these vectors, the Shannon's entropy (S.E.) of each pixel is calculated. PCPs are then produced for each classification output. The PCP axes denote the posterior probability vector and fuzzy membership vector and two additional axes represent S.E. and the associated degree of uncertainty. The PCPs highlight the distribution of probability values of different land cover types for each pixel, and also reflect the status of pixels with different degrees of uncertainty. Brushing functionality is then added to PCP visualization in order to highlight selected pixels of interest. This not only reduces the visualization uncertainty, but also provides invaluable information on the positional and spectral characteristics of targeted pixels.     

二型模糊集合在遥感影像土地利用分类中的应用

在遥感影像土地利用分类中,传统的布尔分类法只考虑地物光谱信息,用"是"与"非"的二值确定逻辑状态分类影像,当存在较多混合像元时,其不能满足一些实际应用的要求。模糊分类法综合了地物光谱特征、空间特征和对象的拓扑关系,对每个像元的归属用[0～1]的模糊度来表示,有效地解决了该问题。通过对研究区TM影像进行传统布尔法分类和模糊分类法分类的结果比较可知:对混合像元较多且波段较少的遥感影像土地利用分类,二型模糊集合分类能够适应用户不同精度需求,并能交互式输出结果。     

自适应距离和模糊拓扑优化的模糊聚类SAR影像变化检测

针对模糊聚类算法的不足,结合差分影像的特点,提出一种基于自适应距离（adaptive distance）和模糊拓扑（fuzzy topology）理论的SAR影像变化检测技术框架（FATCD）。FATCD首先基于自适应距离公式提出一种自适应的样本到聚类中心的距离计算方法,优化了聚类过程中像元隶属度的计算公式,提高了模糊隶属度函数的准确程度;而后利用模糊拓扑理论改进传统去模糊化方式最大隶属度原则,从而增强了去模糊化过程。借助这两点,FATCD提高了模糊聚类变化检测的性能。两组真实SAR影像数据的试验结果表明本文方法可行、有效。     

一种新的高分辨率遥感影像模糊监督分类方法

针对高分辨率遥感影像分类中由于细节特征突出、同质区域光谱测度变异性增大所带来的像素类属的不确定性及模型的不确定性等造成的误分结果,提出一种基于模糊隶属函数的监督分类方法。对同质区域定义高斯隶属函数模型用来表征像素类属不确定性;模糊化该隶属函数参数建立影像模糊隶属函数,以建模同质区域光谱测度的不确定性;用训练样本在所有类别中的模糊隶属函数及原隶属函数（高斯隶属函数）中的隶属度为输入,建立模糊线性神经网络模型作为目标函数,实现分类决策。该算法和经典算法对World View-2全色合成影像及真实影像进行定性和定量分类实验,分类结果验证了文中方法具有更高的分类精度。

Cotton Crop Discrimination Using Fuzzy Classification Approach

Crop growth information represented through temporal remote sensing data is of great importance for specific agriculture crop discrimination. In this paper, the effect of various indices was empirically investigated using temporal images for cotton crop discrimination. Five spectral indices SR (Simple Ratio), NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation index), TNDVI (Transformed Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), SAVI (Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index) and TVI (Triangular Vegetation Index) were investigated to identify cotton crop using temporal multi-spectral images. Data used for this study was AWIFS (coarser resolution) for soft classification and LISS-III (medium coarser) data for soft testing from Resourcesat-1 (IRS-P6) satellite. The mixed pixel (i.e. multiple classes within a single pixel) problem had been handled using soft computing techniques. Possibilistic fuzzy classification approach is used to handle mixed pixels for extracting single class of interest. The classification results with respect to various indices were compared in terms of image to image fuzzy overall classification accuracy. It was observed that temporal SAVI indices database with data set-2 outperformed other temporal indices database for cotton crop discrimination. Temporal SAVI indices database gave highest fuzzy overall accuracy of 93.12% with data set-2 in comparison to others.     

Lightning flash mensuration using video from the space shuttle Columbia (STS‐32)

Abstract

Environmental data are often utilized to guide interpretation of spectral information based on context, however, these are also important in deriving vegetation maps themselves, especially where ecological information can be mapped spatially. A vegetation classification procedure is presented which combines a classification of spectral data from Landsat‐5 Thematic Mapper (TM) and environmental data based on topography and fire history. These data were combined utilizing fuzzy logic where assignment of each pixel to a single vegetation category was derived comparing the partial membership of each vegetation category within spectral and environmental classes. Partial membership was assigned from canopy cover for forest types measured from field sampling. Initial classification of spectral and ecological data produced map accuracies of less than 50% due to overlap between spectrally similar vegetation and limited spatial precision for predicting local vegetation types solely from the ecological information. Combination of environmental data through fuzzy logic increased overall mapping accuracy (70%) in coniferous forest communities of northwestern Montana, USA.     

An Automated Approach for Land Cover Classification Based on a Fuzzy Supervised Learning Framework

This paper proposes an automatic framework for land cover classification. In majority of published work by various researchers so far, most of the methods need manually mark the label of land cover types. In the proposed framework, all the information, like land cover types and their features, is defined as prior knowledge achieved from land use maps, topographic data, texture data, vegetation’s growth cycle and field data. The land cover classification is treated as an automatically supervised learning procedure, which can be divided into automatic sample selection and fuzzy supervised classification. Once a series of features were extracted from multi-source datasets, spectral matching method is used to determine the degrees of membership of auto-selected pixels, which indicates the probability of the pixel to be distinguished as a specific land cover type. In order to make full use of this probability, a fuzzy support vector machine (SVM) classification method is used to handle samples with membership degrees. This method is applied to Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data of two areas located in Northern China. The automatic classification results are compared with visual interpretation. Experimental results show that the proposed method classifies the remote sensing data with a competitive and stable accuracy, and demonstrate that an objective land cover classification result is achievable by combining several advanced machine learning methods.

本文针对高分辨率遥感影像快速高效萃取有用信息这一遥感技术应用的热点问题,探讨了一种适合于组合特征识别的遥感图像最近邻模糊分类器。该分类器首先把待识别目标的组合特征与训练模板中的组合特征样本的平均值一一进行比较,从而得到了一个特征差矩阵。用模糊分布函数在同类特征差之间进行处理,生成一个隶属度矩阵,然后用算术平均法对隶属度矩阵进行处理,并用最大隶属度准则来进行分类判决。以新疆和静县的SPOT5图像为例,应用此方法对其进行分类试验。结果表明:利用此分类方法对SPOT5遥感图像进行分类,不仅使分类结果具有丰富的语义信息,而且克服了由于特征选择的不稳定性对分类结果的影响,分类精度也得到了显著的提高。

The ‘Stained Glass Procedure’, a new method to compare classification performance of images acquired with different pixel sizes

Objective comparison of classification performance of earth observation images, acquired at different spatial resolutions (e.g. NOAA-AVHRR, IRS-MOS, IRS-WiFS, Landsat-TM, IRS-LISS), is complicated because both class definition and training site selection are hampered by the inherent scale differences. This paper presents a new, generic method to compare the information content of such a set of images, the “Stained Glass Procedure”. It overcomes the stated problems by computing the scale-dependent, internal spectral variation in an image and by using this as an indicator for land cover information. The Stained Glass Procedure creates segments in the images and calculates the internal spectral variation in a high-spatial-resolution image for each segment. For each image from the set the average variance, weighted to area, is calculated. The Stained Glass Procedure can be used to predict the performance of sensors that are not available, yet, or to roughly determine the optimal spatial resolution for the classification of a specific area.The procedure was applied to images with pixel sizes ranging from 23 to 1100 m. Classification detail of Envisat-MERIS (300 m pixel size), not included in the image set, could be predicted accurately using the Stained Glass Procedure.The Stained Glass Procedure applies one procedure to all images, without any subjective decision during the analysis, thus offering a method to compare images with different pixel sizes in terms of classification detail that is truly objective.     

基于PCM改进算法的遥感混合像元模拟分析

混合像元的存在是影响遥感图像分类精度的主要原因,模糊分类是进行混合像元分解的重要方法,其效果的好坏取决于各像元分类后对各类别的隶属度值能否准确地反映像元的类别组成。当非监督分类中的聚类数目与实际类别数目不符,或者监督分类中训练样本存在未训练类别时,常用的模糊c-均值(FCM)方法的效果将大大降低,而可能性c-均值(PCM)方法则可以解决这个问题。该文提出了基于PCM算法的遥感图像混合像元分解方法,并用监督分类方法实例说明PCM方法的优越性。     

Fuzzy Neural Network Models for Supervised Classification: Multispectral Image Analysis

Abstract

It has been well established that neural networks provide a reasonable and powerful alternative to conventional classifiers. During the past few years there has been a large and energetic upswing in research efforts aimed at synthesizing fuzzy logic with neural networks. This combination of fuzzy logic and neural networks seems natural because two approaches generally attack the design of “intelligent” systems from quite different angles. Neural networks provide algorithms for learning, classification, and optimization whereas fuzzy logic deals with issues such as reasoning on a higher (semantic or linguistic) level. Consequently the two technologies complement each other. In this paper we propose two novel fuzzy‐neural network models for supervised learning. The first model consists of three layers, and the second model consists of four layers. In both models, the first two layers implement fuzzy membership functions and the remaining layers implement the inference engine. Both models use the gradient decent technique for learning. As an illustration, we have analyzed two Thematic mapper images using these models. Results are presented in the paper.     

A fuzzy topology-based maximum likelihood classification

Classification is one of the most widely used remote sensing analysis techniques, with the maximum likelihood classification (MLC) method being a major tool for classifying pixels from an image. Fuzzy topology, in which the set concept is generalized from two values, {0, 1}, to the values of a continuous interval, [0, 1], is a generalization of ordinary topology and is used to solve many GIS problems, such as spatial information management and analysis. Fuzzy topology is induced by traditional thresholding and as such gives a decomposition of MLC classes.Presented in this paper is an image classification modification, by which induced threshold fuzzy topology is integrated into the MLC method (FTMLC). Hence, by using the induced threshold fuzzy topology, each image class in spectral space can be decomposed into three parts: an interior, a boundary and an exterior. The connection theory in induced fuzzy topology enables the boundary to be combined with the interior. That is, a new classification method is derived by integrating the induced fuzzy topology and the MLC method. As a result, fuzzy boundary pixels, which contain many misclassified and over-classified pixels, are able to be re-classified, providing improved classification accuracy. This classification is a significantly improved pixel classification method, and hence provides improved classification accuracy.
