THE PRESENT STATE OF ECOSYSTEMS IN MONGOLIA: PRINCIPLES OF EVALUATION AND MAPPING

This paper explores how such characteristics as the polarization of reflected radiation, the angular characteristics of its reflectance, and its thermal properties can be used to supplement conventional remote sensing studies of the condition of the vegetation cover. One possible application is clarified by means of an experiment testing the relationship between the degree of polarization of radiation reflected from cultivated cotton fields and the condition of the crop in those fields. Empirical data demonstrate that changes in the geometric structure of (and reflectance from) fields occurs when cultivated plants are subjected to stress (disease or moisture deprivation).

THE MULTIPLICITY PRINCIPLE IN MODERN REMOTE SENSING METHODS AND ITS APPLICATION TO AGRICULTURAL IMAGE INTERPRETATION

The authors elaborate upon the “multiplicity principle” in remote sensing, i.e., the need for repeated imaging at a variety of scales, spatial resolutions, spectral bands, and times of imaging in order to attain the maximum information possible. They then explore the ways it can be applied in agricultural research, through two different image comparison and interpretation strategies. A detailed example is presented of the use of a multitemporal imaging strategy for the recognition of several agricultural crops from false color composite imagery.

IGS精密星历和钟差对天顶对流层延迟精度的影响

为研究IGS精密轨道和钟差产品对天顶对流层延迟精度的影响,文章利用位于中国北京、上海、拉萨等地的6个IGS跟踪站所提供的2013年4月7日～10日4天的数据,采用GPSTools软件进行实验,计算各跟踪站的天顶对流层延迟(ZTD),并与IGS提供的对流层延迟产品进行对比.结果表明,利用IGS精密轨道解算的ZTD与IGS提供的ZTD相当,两者偏差的平均RMS优于5mm,利用IGS超快速钟差预报部分解算的ZTD与IGS提供的ZTD存在2cm～3cm误差,平均RMS大于1cm.     

中国地区气溶胶类型特性分析

利用全球气溶胶观测网（AERONET）2001年—2012年中国地区12个站点的地基遥感气溶胶物理光学特性产品研究了中国地区气溶胶类型特性及其时空变化规律。研究发现中国地区不同类别的气溶胶光学特性（单次散射反照率、不对称因子、光学厚度等）差异较大,由沙尘型、混合型、强散射型细粒子、弱吸收型细粒子、中度吸收型细粒子和强吸收型细粒子等6类组成。中国地区气溶胶类型具有极强的空间变化特性和明显的季节、年际变化特征,沙尘气溶胶主要出现在春季,强散射型细粒子气溶胶主要出现在夏季,而强吸收型细粒子气溶胶主要出现在秋冬季节;近10年间沙尘型、混合型和强散射型细粒子气溶胶呈现上升趋势,而强吸收型细粒子气溶胶则处于下降趋势。在此基础上对比了中国和美国、法国典型站点气溶胶类型,研究发现3个站点的气溶胶差异较大,中国强吸收细粒子类所占的比重高于后两者,同时强散射细粒子类所占的比重低于后两者。     

Discovering Spatial Interaction Communities from Mobile Phone Data

In the age of Big Data, the widespread use of location‐awareness technologies has made it possible to collect spatio‐temporal interaction data for analyzing flow patterns in both physical space and cyberspace. This research attempts to explore and interpret patterns embedded in the network of phone‐call interaction and the network of phone‐users’ movements, by considering the geographical context of mobile phone cells. We adopt an agglomerative clustering algorithm based on a Newman‐Girvan modularity metric and propose an alternative modularity function incorporating a gravity model to discover the clustering structures of spatial‐interaction communities using a mobile phone dataset from one week in a city in China. The results verify the distance decay effect and spatial continuity that control the process of partitioning phone‐call interaction, which indicates that people tend to communicate within a spatial‐proximity community. Furthermore, we discover that a high correlation exists between phone‐users’ movements in physical space and phone‐call interaction in cyberspace. Our approach presents a combined qualitative‐quantitative framework to identify clusters and interaction patterns, and explains how geographical context influences communities of callers and receivers. The findings of this empirical study are valuable for urban structure studies as well as for the detection of communities in spatial networks.

结合模糊分割和遗传算法的航空影像车辆提取方法

利用高分辨率遥感影像实现道路车辆监测在交通管理系统中占有重要地位,然而受成像条件及车辆本身颜色多样性的影响,很难从遥感影像中直接提取道路车辆。为此,本文提出了一种结合遗传算法和数学形态学的遥感影像道路车辆提取方法。首先利用模糊聚类方法建立影像分割模型,并利用遗传算法对其进行求解,从而实现影像中道路、车辆及环境的精确分割;然后对分割结果中不同层进行赋值,实现分割结果的二值化;最后利用数学形态学操作从分割的道路-车辆的二值结果中剔除道路,从而实现道路车辆的提取。利用本文方法对航空影像进行了道路车辆提取试验。试验结果表明,本文方法不仅能够准确识别地面车辆位置,还能精确提取其轮廓线。
