Bayesian analysis of De distributions in optical dating: Towards a robust method for dealing with outliers

In optical dating, especially single-grain dating, various patterns of distributions in equivalent dose (D_e) are usually observed and analysed using different statistical models. None of these methods, however, is designed to deal with outliers that do not form part of the population of grains associated with the event of interest (the ‘target population’), despite outliers being commonly present in single-grain D_e distributions. In this paper, we present a Bayesian method for detecting D_e outliers and making allowance for them when estimating the D_e value of the target population. We test this so-called Bayesian outlier model (BOM) using data sets obtained for individual grains of quartz from sediments deposited in a variety of settings, and in simulations. We find that the BOM is suitable for single-grain D_e distributions containing outliers that, for a variety of reasons, do not form part of the target population. For example, D_e outliers may be associated with grains that have undesirable luminescence properties (e.g., thermal instability, high rates of anomalous fading) or with contaminant grains incorporated into a sample when collected in the field or prepared in the laboratory. Grains that have much larger or smaller D_e values than the target population, due to factors such as insufficient bleaching, beta-dose heterogeneity or post-depositional disturbance, may also be identified as outliers using the BOM, enabling these values to be weighted appropriately for final D_e and age determination.

面向室内WLAN定位的动态自适应模型

提出了一种面向无线局域网(wireless local area network,WLAN)位置指纹匹配定位的动态自适应模型,借助多个基站的实时数据为稳健室内定位提供更新的匹配数据库——radio map。基于基站与radio map采样点之间的空间关联性,将基站数据和radio map分别作为多层神经网络的输入和输出,动态更新radio map;利用多元数据异常探测技术检验基站数据捕获环境的时空变化;根据探测结果采用顾及室内布局的数值内插和再训练的方式更新模型,从而使其适应环境的时空变化。在室内动态环境中进行了多次验证试验。试验结果显示,在时变因素作用下,相比较传统方法,采用所提模型的定位方法的平均误差至少下降10%;在空间变化因素(以信标移动为例)作用下,其他方法平均定位误差大幅增加了至少165%,而采用所提模型方法的平均定位误差只增加了10%~20%,定位精度维持在3m左右(即原始精度)。结果证明采用了所提模型的定位系统能够自适应环境的时空变化而保持原有定位表现。不过,与传统位置指纹匹配定位方法相比,该模型带来了更多的计算负荷。     

资源三号测绘卫星自动云检测

光学卫星遥感影像自动云检测是卫星产品生产系统的一个重要环节。利用资源三号卫星编目生成的浏览图,采用树状判别结构进行云检测,对浏览图进行分块,提取子块图像的特征进行云地分类。由于云类和地物类过于繁杂,且浏览图的分辨率较低,传统通过图像特征对云地进行分类的算法有很大的局限性,针对这一问题,本文提出了在分类之前对原始的子块图像进行增强处理,扩大云和地物的纹理差异,然后以二阶矩、一阶差分等作为云地分类的图像特征,并在多尺度空间内进行特征延拓,经过综合分析估计云在影像中的比例。该云检测算法应用于资源三号卫星应用系统工程,实际测试结果表明,该算法能够较好地提升云量检测的准确率。     

利用多光谱影像检测资源三号卫星平台震颤

卫星平台震颤是影响高分辨率卫星成像质量的因素之一,会引起影像模糊和内部畸变。本文从资源三号卫星多光谱相机的成像特点和多光谱影像配准误差影响因素入手,理论推导和仿真分析了卫星平台震颤对配准误差的影响规律,在此基础上提出了基于多光谱影像高精度密集匹配的平台震颤检测方法和流程,最后利用不同波段、不同时间的成像数据进行试验。试验结果表明资源三号卫星在试验数据成像阶段存在约0.6Hz的平台震颤,且垂轨方向震颤幅值大于沿轨方向,同时引起波段间相同频率周期性配准误差。检测结果为进一步提高资源三号处理精度提供了可能,也为卫星平台震颤源的分析和优化卫星平台设计提供了重要参考依据。

An analysis of changes in the urban landscape composition and configuration in the Sancaktepe District of Istanbul Metropolitan City,Turkey using landscape metrics and satellite data

Changes in landscape composition and configuration patterns of Sancaktepe Municipal District in the Asian side of Istanbul Metropolitan City of Turkey were analysed using landscape metrics. Class-level and landscape-level metrics were calculated from the land cover/land use data using Patch Analyst, an extension in the Arc View GIS. The land cover/land use data were derived from classified satellite images of Landsat Thematic Mapper of 2002 and 2009 for Sancaktepe District. There was evidence of increase in agglomeration process of built-up patches as indicated by the increases in mean patch size, decrease in total edge and number of patches between 2002 and 2009. The urban expansion pattern experienced overall was not fragmented but concentrated due to infilling around existing patches. Changes in Area-Weighted Mean Shape Index and Area-Weighted Patch Fractal Dimension Index indicated that the physical shapes within built-up, forest and bareland areas were relatively complex and irregular. A conclusion is made in this study that spatial metrics are useful tools to describe the urban landscape composition and configuration in its various aspects and certain decisions whether to approve a specific development in urban planning could, for example, be based on some measures of urban growth form or pattern in terms of uniformity and irregularity, attributable to the dynamic processes of agglomeration and fragmentation of land cover/land use patches caused by urban expansion.     

资源三号影像中城市高大地物阴影检测方法

针对遥感影像处理中阴影检测和信息补偿不准确的问题,该文在研究已有阴影检测算法的基础上,结合资源三号(ZY-3)影像数据的特性,构建了阴影检测方法:首先对原始图像分别做差值运算和主成分变换,并利用多峰阈值自动提取算法检测出阴影区域;其次将差值运算提取的粗阴影区域与主成分变换提取的阴影区域做并运算生成一个新的阴影区域;然后判断影像中是否含有水体,如果含有水体则利用多峰阈值自动提取算法检测出水体并与新合并的阴影区域影像做布尔运算得到完整的阴影区域,反之则新合并的区域即为完整的阴影区域。实验结果表明该方法针对ZY-3具有较好的普适性、较高的提取精度和提取效率。
