A REMOTE SENSING METHOD FOR DETERMINING HEAT FLUX AT THE OCEAN-ATMOSPHERE BOUNDARY LAYER

Results of experiments in the measurement of heat flux at the ocean-atmosphere boundary layer are described. More specifically, an algorithm is presented for the calculation of the different components of total heat flux (from the ocean into the atmosphere) based on estimates of water temperature, wind velocity, and cloud cover obtained from remote sensing imagery. Use of the algorithm yields values for total heat flux which, when averaged over a ten-day period, are only 10% less accurate than those obtained according to traditional methods (research vessels, buoys, offshore platforms).

TRANSFORMATION OF THE LINE LENGTHS OF CARTOGRAPHIC MODELS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FUNCTIONAL UNITS

A paper devoted to the transformation of cartographic images based on nontraditional systems of scaling (travel time, transport effort, cost, etc.) describes the results of work to develop a more effective algorithm for such transformations, i.e., one which the authors claim provides for the more accurate determination of “transformed” line lengths than possible with earlier methods.

SEASONAL CHANGES IN THE SPECTRAL REFLECTANCE OF PASTURE GRASSES IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF AREAS OF VARIABLE DRAINAGE EFFICIENCY

Spectral reflectances of artificial pastures are examined at various wavelengths and stages in the grazing/field work cycle to identify inadequately drained, marginally productive sites. Mesophytic pasture grasses and crops on well-drained sites are replaced by more hygrophytic species on poorly drained sites (each group with distinctive brightness values). This relationship, plus less significant spectral differences reflecting grazing intensity and soil moisture content at particular points in time, provided a methodological basis for the study. Poorly drained pastures are most reliably identified in the infrared and visible green portions of the spectrum during the middle of the grazing season.

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).

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。

Spatial-Correlation Based Persistent Scatterer Interferometric Study for Ground Deformation

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), nowadays, is a precise technique for monitoring and detecting ground deformation at a millimetric level over large areas using multi-temporal SAR images. Persistent Scatterer Interferometric SAR (PSInSAR), an advanced version of InSAR, is an effective tool for measuring ground deformation using temporally stable reference points or persistent scatterers. We have applied both PSInSAR and Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) methods, based on the spatial correlation of interferometric phase, to estimate the ground deformation and time-series analysis. In this study, we select Las Vegas, Nevada, USA as our test area to detect the ground deformation along satellite line-of-sight (LOS) during November 1992–September 2000 using 44 C-band SAR images of the European Remote Sensing (ERS-1 and ERS-2) satellites. We observe the ground displacement rate of Las Vegas is in the range of ?19 to 8 mm/year in the same period. We also cross-compare PSInSAR and SBAS using mean LOS velocity and time-series. The comparison shows a correlation coefficient of 0.9467 in the case of mean LOS velocity. Along this study, we validate the ground deformation results from the satellite with the ground water depth of Las Vegas using time-series analysis, and the InSAR measurements show similar patterns with ground water data.
