Impact of the spatial resolution on the energy balance components on an open-canopy olive orchard

The recent technical improvements in the sensors used to acquire images from land surfaces has made possible to assess the performance of the energy balance models using unprecedented spatial resolutions. Thus, the objective of this work is to evaluate the response of the different energy balance components obtained from METRIC model as a function of the input pixel size. Very high spatial resolution airborne images (≈50 cm) on three dates over olive orchards were used to aggregate different spatial resolutions, ranging from 5 m to 1 km. This study represents the first time that METRIC model has been run with such high spatial resolution imagery in heterogeneous agricultural systems, evaluating the effects caused by its aggregation into coarser pixel sizes. Net radiation and soil heat flux showed a near insensitive behavior to spatial resolution changes, reflecting that the emissivity and albedo respond linearly to pixel aggregation. However, greater discrepancies were obtained for sensible (up to 17%) and latent (up to 23%) heat fluxes at spatial resolutions coarser than 30 × 30 m due to the aggregation of non-linear components, and to the inclusion of non-agricultural areas in such aggregation. Results obtained confirm the good performance of METRIC model when used with high spatial resolution imagery, whereas they warn of some major errors in crop evapotranspiration estimation when medium or large scales are used.

Evaluation of optical remote sensing-based shallow water bathymetry for recursive mapping

Water depth estimation using optical remote sensing offers a reliable and efficient means of mapping coastal zones. Here, we aim to find a suitable model for fast and practical bathymetry of an estuary using Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS) Linear Imaging Self Scanning Sensor (LISS-3) images. The study examines three different models; (1) least square regression model, (2) spectral band-ratio method and (3) multi-tidal bathymetry model. The findings are supported with in situ observed depth values and statistical estimates. Although the least square regression model has provided best results with root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.4 m, it requires a large number of observed data points for absolute depth estimation. Spectral band-ratio and multi-tidal model provides results with RMSEs 2.1 and 0.9 m, respectively. The present investigation demonstrates that multi-date imagery exploitation at disparate tide levels is the best estimation technique for recursive shallow water bathymetry where in situ observation is not possible.     

Glacier surface velocity estimation using repeat TerraSAR-X images: Wavelet- vs. correlation-based image matching

For the observation and monitoring of glacier surface velocity (GSV), remote sensing is an increasingly suitable tool thanks to the high temporal and spatial resolution of the data. Radar sensors have the specific advantage over optical sensors of being nearly weather and time-independent.Two image pairs separated by 11 days, acquired with the high-resolution spotlight (HS) and stripmap (SM) modes of the German sensor TerraSAR-X, were used to estimate GSV over Switzerland’s Aletsch Glacier. The SM mode covers larger ground swaths, making it more suitable for glacier-wide observations, while the HS images cover less area but offer the highest-possible spatial resolution, approximately 1 × 1 m on the ground. The images were acquired during the summer to maximise feature visibility by minimal snow cover.GSV estimation was performed using two methods, the comparison of which was a major goal of this study: traditional cross-correlation optimisation and a dense image matching algorithm based on complex wavelet decomposition. Each method was found to have unique advantages and disadvantages, but it was concluded that for GSV monitoring, cross-correlation is probably preferable to the wavelet-based approach. While it generates fewer estimates per unit area, this is not necessarily a critical requirement for all glaciological applications, and the method requires less initial “tuning” (calibration) than the wavelet algorithm, making it a slightly better tool in operational contexts. Also, the use of the highest-resolution spotlight datasets is recommended over stripmap mode images when large-area coverage is less critical. The comparative lack of visible features at the resolution of the stripmap images made reliable GSV estimation difficult, with the exception of several small areas dominated by large crevasses.

Topographic correction of ALOS-PALSAR images using InSAR-derived DEM

Topographic corrections of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images over hilly regions are vital for retrieval of correct backscatter values associated with natural targets. The coarse resolution external digital elevation models (DEM) available for topographic corrections of high resolution SAR images often result into degradation of spatial resolution or improper estimation of backscatter values in SAR images. Also, many a times the external DEMs do not spatially co-register well with the SAR data. The present study showcases the methodology and results of topographic correction of ALOS-PALSAR image using high resolution DEM generated from the same data. High resolution DEMs of Jaipur region, India were generated using multiple pair SAR images acquired from ALOS-PALSAR using interferometric (InSAR) techniques. The DEMs were validated using differential global positioning system measured elevation values as ground control points and were compared with photogrammetric DEM (advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometer – ASTER) and SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) DEM. It was observed that ALOS-PALSAR images with optimum baseline parameters produced high resolution DEM with better height accuracy. Finally, the validated DEM was used for topographic correction of ALOS-PALSAR images of the same region and were found to produce better result as compared with ASTER and SRTM-DEM.

A study on trade-offs between spatial resolution and temporal sampling density for wheat yield estimation using both thermal and calendar time

Within-season forecasting of crop yields is of great economic, geo-strategic and humanitarian interest. Satellite Earth Observation now constitutes a valuable and innovative way to provide spatio-temporal information to assist such yield forecasts. This study explores different configurations of remote sensing time series to estimate of winter wheat yield using either spatially finer but temporally sparser time series (5daily at 100 m spatial resolution) or spatially coarser but denser (300 m and 1 km at daily frequency) time series. Furthermore, we hypothesised that better yield estimations could be made using thermal time, which is closer to the crop physiological development. Time series of NDVI from the PROBA-V instrument, which has delivered images at a spatial resolution of 100 m, 300 m and 1 km since 2013, were extracted for 39 fields for field and 56 fields for regional level analysis across Northern France during the growing season 2014-2015. An asymmetric double sigmoid model was fitted on the NDVI series of the central pixel of the field. The fitted model was subsequently integrated either over thermal time or over calendar time, using different baseline NDVI thresholds to mark the start and end of the cropping season. These integrated values were used as a predictor for yield using a simple linear regression and yield observations at field level. The dependency of this relationship on the spatial pixel purity was analysed for the 100 m, 300 m and 1 km spatial resolution. At field level, depending on the spatial resolution and the NDVI threshold, the adjusted R² ranged from 0.20 to 0.74; jackknifed – leave-one-field-out cross validation – RMSE ranged from 0.6 to 1.07 t/ha and MAE ranged between 0.46 and 0.90 t/ha for thermal time analysis. The best results for yield estimation (adjusted R² = 0.74, RMSE =0.6 t/ha and MAE =0.46 t/ha) were obtained from the integration over thermal time of 100 m pixel resolution using a baseline NDVI threshold of 0.2 and without any selection based on pixel purity. The field scale yield estimation was aggregated to the regional scale using 56 fields. At the regional level, there was a difference of 0.0012 t/ha between thermal and calendar time for average yield estimations. The standard error of mean results showed that the error was larger for a higher spatial resolution with no pixel purity and smaller when purity increased. These results suggest that, for winter wheat, a finer spatial resolution rather than a higher revisit frequency and an increasing pixel purity enable more accurate yield estimations when integrated over thermal time at the field scale and at the regional scale only if higher pixel purity levels are considered. This method can be extended to larger regions, other crops, and other regions in the world, although site and crop-specific adjustments will have to include other threshold temperatures to reflect the boundaries of phenological activity. In general, however, this methodological approach should be applicable to yield estimation at the parcel and regional scales across the world.     

GF-2支持下的干旱区稀疏植被区植被覆盖度估算

现有像元二分模型MODIS植被覆盖度模型因其形式简单、适用性较强的特点被广泛应用于区域植被覆盖度（FVC）的估算。然而,研究表明在沙漠和低植被覆盖的西部干旱区,从250 m的影像上很难精准地获取NDVI_veg（全植被覆盖植被指数）和NDVI_soil（全裸土区植被指数）参数。利用常用的直方图累计法获取模型所需参数NDVI_veg和NDVI_soil,估算结果存在普遍高估现象。为此,本文首先引入同期获取的GF-2号卫星数据,从GF-2号影像上提取植被覆盖像元;然后,利用Pixel Aggregate方法重采样至250 m分辨率,获取250 m空间分辨率下纯植被和纯裸土像元;最后,将纯植被和纯裸土像元各自空间位置相对应的MODIS NDVI数据最大值作为模型所需NDVI_veg和NDVI_soil参数,实现研究区内植被覆盖度的估算。试验通过与线性回归法、多项式回归法和直方图累计像元二分模型法估算结果进行精度对比,结果表明：利用GF-2影像辅助的像元二分模型,精准地获取了低植被覆盖区NDVI_veg和NDVI_soil模型参数,提高了干旱区植被覆盖度的估算精度,并有效地抑制了受稀疏植被影响NDVI在干旱区普遍偏高问题导致的FVC高估的现象。

多分辨率低秩导向滤波的热红外图像空间融合

热红外遥感图像由于其特定的成像方式,包含目标特有的发射率及温度等特征。然而,热红外遥感图像较低的空间分辨率却限制了其广泛应用。随着遥感技术的发展,同一区域获得的多源遥感图像可以提供更为完备的目标信息,使得利用多源融合技术实现热红外图像空间分辨率增强与亚像素级特征提取成为可能。为此,本文提出了一种基于多分辨率自适应低秩表达与残差信息迁移的热红外图像空间超分辨算法,该算法通过可见光与热红外图像融合的方式实现热红外图像空间特性的自适应融合增强。本文算法优势主要体现在以下几个方面：（1）基于多分辨率的超像素分割,使用超像素块代替传统的方块作为低秩恢复单元,自适应地调整单元内空间特性以保持单元内地物类型的稳定并抑制结构性噪声;（2）通过构建导向线性滤波器,在保护热红外图像光谱信息的前提下,实现可见光图像精细空间特征向热红外图像的迁移;（3）在低分辨层建立增强热红外图像残差与可见光图像残差之间关联并迁移至高分辨层,在保证超分辨图像细节信息的前提下,实现热红外图像空间超分辨。为了验证算法的有效性,本文采用2014年IGARSS数据融合竞赛提供的可见光与热红外实验数据进行实验,并与融合竞赛中表现最为优异的监督图特征融合方法进行比较,并从温度反演精度以及分类精度两个方面评价超分辨效果。实验结果表明,本文提出的方法其噪声抑制效果、空间平滑效果、边缘锐化效果更为优异,超分辨热红外图像有着更为精细的空间信息,并且对于不同区域类型均能较好的保护热红外图像光谱信息。对于不同地物类型,融合超分辨图像有较高的亚像素温度反演精度以及更高的分类精度,其温度反演误差小于1 K,总体分类精度较原热红外图像提升20%以上。     

Detail focused fusion of hyperspectral and multispectral imagesEI北大核心CSCD

Hyperspectral image (HSI) and multispectral image (MSI) are two types of images widely used in the field of remote sensing. These images are useful in certain applications, such as environmental monitoring, target detection, and mineral exploration. HSI contains a large amount of spectral information. Photons are typically collected in a larger spatial area on the sensor to ensure a sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Accordingly, the HSI spatial resolution is much lower compared with MSI. This low spatial resolution greatly affects the practicality of HSI. Accordingly, fusing a low-spatial resolution HSI (LR-HSI) with a high-spatial resolution MSI (HR-MSI) in the same scene to obtain a high-resolution HSI (HR-HSI) is a method for solving such problems, which resolves the contradiction that the spatial resolution and the spectral resolution cannot simultaneously maintain a high level. From the analysis of fusion effect, the spatial and spectral reconstruction errors of the existing algorithms are mainly reflected in the edge and detail areas. The method proposed in this work was a fusion algorithm for dictionary construction and image reconstruction based on detail attention. In terms of maintaining spectral characteristics, the spectral distribution in the detail area is complex and diverse because of the proximity effect of the image. This work proposes to perform dictionary learning on the image and detail layers. The detail perception error terms and a constraint of edge adaptive directional total variation are proposed for spatial characteristic enhancement, which is combined with a local low rank constraint in the same fusion framework to estimate the sparse coefficient. Experiments were conducted on two datasets, namely, Pavia University and Indian Pine, to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The quantitative evaluation metrics contain peak SNR, relative dimensionless global error in synthesis, spectral angle map, and universal image quality index. Based on the experimental comparison, the fusion result of the algorithm proposed in this work is significantly improved compared with those of the other algorithms in terms of spatial and spectral characteristics. This work uses dictionary learning to propose a fusion algorithm for dictionary construction and image reconstruction with attention to details through the analysis of the existing hyperspectral and multispectral image fusion algorithms. A hierarchical dictionary learning algorithm is proposed to address the problem of large reconstruction error in the detail part of the existing algorithms. The detail perception error term and the direction adaptive full variational regularization term are used to improve the spectral dictionary solution and coefficient estimation, respectively. The result of the fusion is the error in the spectral characteristics and spatial texture of the detail, which achieves an accurate representation of the edge detail. © 2022 National Remote Sensing Bulletin.

Bathymetry retrieval from optical images with spatially distributed support vector machines

This paper presents a spatially distributed support vector machine (SVM) system for estimating shallow water bathymetry from optical satellite images. Unlike the traditional global models that make predictions from a unified global model for the entire study area, our system uses locally trained SVMs and spatially weighted votes to make predictions. By using IKONOS-2 multi-spectral image and airborne bathymetric LiDAR water depth samples, we developed a spatially distributed SVM system for bathymetry estimates. The distributed model outperformed the global SVM model in predicting bathymetry from optical satellite images, and it worked well at the scenarios with a low number of training data samples. The experiments showed the localized model reduced the bathymetry estimation error by 60% from RMSE of 1.23 m to 0.48 m. Different from the traditional global model that underestimates water depth near shore and overestimates water depth offshore, the spatially distributed SVM system did not produce regional prediction bias and its prediction residual exhibited a random pattern. Our model worked well even if the sample density was much lower: The model trained with 10% of the samples was still able to obtain similar prediction accuracy as the global SVM model with the full training set.

Generation of high spatial and temporal resolution NDVI and its application in crop biomass estimation

Abstract

While data like HJ-1 CCD images have advantageous spatial characteristics for describing crop properties, the temporal resolution of the data is rather low, which can be easily made worse by cloud contamination. In contrast, although Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) can only achieve a spatial resolution of 250 m in its normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) product, it has a high temporal resolution, covering the Earth up to multiple times per day. To combine the high spatial resolution and high temporal resolution of different data sources, a new method (Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Vegetation index Fusion Model [STAVFM]) for blending NDVI of different spatial and temporal resolutions to produce high spatial–temporal resolution NDVI datasets was developed based on Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model (STARFM). STAVFM defines a time window according to the temporal variation of crops, takes crop phenophase into consideration and improves the temporal weighting algorithm. The result showed that the new method can combine the temporal information of MODIS NDVI and spatial difference information of HJ-1 CCD NDVI to generate an NDVI dataset with both high spatial and high temporal resolution. An application of the generated NDVI dataset in crop biomass estimation was provided. An average absolute error of 17.2% was achieved. The estimated winter wheat biomass correlated well with observed biomass (R ² of 0.876). We conclude that the new dataset will improve the application of crop biomass estimation by describing the crop biomass accumulation in detail. There is potential to apply the approach in many other studies, including crop production estimation, crop growth monitoring and agricultural ecosystem carbon cycle research, which will contribute to the implementation of Digital Earth by describing land surface processes in detail.     

Recovering Enhanced Resolution Images And Digital Elevation Models From Compressed Image Sequences

A device-independent algorithm for the estimation of an enhanced resolution image from a low-resolution compressed sequence is proposed. The algorithm utilises least squares matching to extract the interdependence of the low-resolution images. This algorithm also has the effect of attenuating compression artefacts. Improving the spatial resolution of the image sequence is not the only goal of the enhancement algorithm, as the enhanced images in turn lead to digital elevation models (DEMs) of improved accuracy.
Experimental results illustrate the algorithm's performance as a tool for digital photogrammetric applications. Stereoscopic sets of left and right images were taken of objects of known geometry and DEMs were created using both the original coarse images and compressed images enhanced by the algorithm.
