Water Harvesting Structure Positioning by Using Geo-Visualization Concept and Prioritization of Mini-Watersheds Through Morphometric Analysis in the Lower Tapi Basin

Geo-visualization concept has been used for positioning water harvesting structures in Varekhadi watershed consisting of 26 mini watersheds, falling in Lower Tapi Basin (LTB), Surat district, Gujarat state. For prioritization of the mini watersheds, morphometric analysis was utilized by using the linear parameters such as bifurcation ratio (R_b), drainage density (D_d), stream frequency (F_u), texture ratio (T), length of overland flow (L_o) and the shape parameter such as form factor (R_f), shape factor (B_s), elongation ratio (R_e), compactness constant (C_c) and circularity ratio (R_c). The different prioritization ranks were assigned after evaluation of the compound factor. 3 Dimensional (3D) Elevation Model (DEM) from Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and DEM from topo contour were analyzed in ArcScene 9.1 and the fly tool was utilized for the Geo-visualization of Varekhadi mini watersheds as per the priority ranks. Combining this with soil map and slope map, the best feasibility of positioning check dams in mini-watershed no. 1, 5 and 24 has been proposed, after validation of the sites.     

A Hierarchical Hybrid SVM Method for Classification of Remotely Sensed Data

The focus of this work is on developing a new hierarchical hybrid Support Vector Machine (SVM) method to address the problems of classification of multi or hyper spectral remotely sensed images and provide a working technique that increases the classification accuracy while lowering the computational cost and complexity of the process. The paper presents issues in analyzing large multi/hyper spectral image data sets for dimensionality reduction, coping with intra pixel spectral variations, and selection of a flexible classifier with robust learning process. Experiments conducted revealed that a computationally cheap algorithm that uses Hamming distance between the pixel vectors of different bands to eliminate redundant bands was quite effective in helping reduce the dimensionality. The paper also presents the concept of extended mathematical morphological profiles for segregating the input pixel vectors into pure or mixed categories which will enable further computational cost reductions. The proposed method’s overall classification accuracy is tested with IRS data sets and the Airborne Visible Infrared Imaging Spectroradiometer Indian Pines hyperspectral benchmark data set and presented.     

GNSS精密单点定位中的实时质量控制

提出了一套适用于GNSS精密单点定位(PPP)的实时质量控制方法,重点研究了钟跳探测与修复、周跳探测与标记、抗差估计方法,并在现有质量控制方法的基础上进行了改进。对比分析了不同质量控制方案对PPP的影响,结果表明,钟跳不利于周跳探测,严重影响非差PPP的精度和效率,必须对其进行探测与修复;联合MW、GF组合可以探测出绝大多数周跳,且较使用单一方法更为准确、可靠;采用改进的抗差估计有效抑制了残余粗差对精密定位的影响,显著提高了PPP的精度和可靠性。

System structure and calibration models of intelligent photogrammetron

This paper describes the structure,geometric model and geo-metric calibration of Photogrammetron I-the first type of photogrammetron which is designed to be a coherent stereo photogrammetric system in which two cameras are mounted on a physical base but driven by an intelligent agent architecture.The system calibration is divided into two parts:the in-lab calibration determines the fixed parameters in advance of system operation,and the insitu calibration keeps tracking the free parameters in real-time during the system operation.In a video surveillance set-up, prepared control points are tracked in stereo image sequences,so that the free parameters of the system can be continuously updated through iterative bundle adjustment and kalman filtering.

宽巷载波相位模糊度小数偏差时变特性分析

对使用序贯最小二乘估计非差宽巷FCB的方法进行论述,指出其不足在于事先假定了单天内的(接收机端和卫星端)宽巷FCB稳定不变,而对其时变性质缺少讨论与分析。处理了全球350个IGS测站共10d的GPS观测数据,从站星非差FCB、站间单差FCB序列两方面对接收机端宽巷FCB的时变特性进行详细的分析和讨论。数据处理结果表明:①在没有周跳的连续弧段内非差宽巷FCB的历元平滑结果具有较好的稳定性,使用不少于90个历元(45min)的数据即可收敛到0.1周以内保持精度稳定,因此,建议计算非差宽巷FCB的最短弧段不应少于45min;②接收机端宽巷FCB在每一天内随时间变化速率不一样,一天内最大变化量可以达到0.3周,并且接收机重启会使其重新赋值,破坏FCB值的连续性。关于接收机端宽巷FCB时变特性的分析表明文献[4—5]等的序贯最小二乘法所依据的假设前提并不可靠。为获得更高精度的非差卫星宽巷FCB估值,对于接收机重新启动的观测数据,需要新增一个接收机FCB参数;而对于接收机FCB的时变特性,可以在估计时将其作为随机游走过程进行估计。     

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.     

A Birds Eye View of Debris-Avalanche on Miyar Glacier,Chenab Basin,India

The importance of mass wasting in glacier environments and its impacts on glacier dynamics is not fully understood. This is the first occurrence of a debris avalanche event onto a Himalayan glacier through satellite data analysis. The analysis of various factors indicates the slide was a climate-driven hill-slope event activated in 2009 masking the Miyar glacier surface up to ~1.5% including its both lateral moraines and medial moraines. Due to this addition the glacier had neither advance nor retreat from 2009 to 2014. Eventually the debris will contribute to the supraglacial and englacial debris of the glacier. This showcases the way of mass wasting an important contribution to the debris budget of the Himalayan glaciers.     

Image Pose Estimation Based on Procrustes Theory

This paper has established a high-precision hierarchical estimated pose parameters of image. Firstly, we select corresponding three image points of 3D points which constitute the largest area in image as a base, in order to estimate the depth and translate information; then based on the above method, we obtain the scale parameter of camera exterior information. And finally, the topic is transformed to a problem of estimating rotation relationship by vector, using Procrustes theory to obtain the best estimate of the angle elements of exterior parameters. The method can effectively solve problems which depth and coupling pose parameters cannot deal with. Experimental results show that this method of determining position and orientation parameter estimation model is of briefness, easy convergence and it can also achieve higher parameter estimation accuracy than the direct projection matrix factorization.
