绿潮Lansat影像滑动窗口自适应阈值全自动检测方法

Since the atmospheric correction is a necessary preprocessing step of remote sensing image before detecting green tide, the introduced error directly affects the detection precision. Therefore, the detection method of green tide is presented from Landsat TM/ETM plus image which needs not the atmospheric correction. In order to achieve an automatic detection of green tide, a linear relationship(y =0.723 x+0.504) between detection threshold y and subtraction x(x=λ_(nir)–λ_(red)) is found from the comparing Landsat TM/ETM plus image with the field surveys.Using this relationship, green tide patches can be detected automatically from Landsat TM/ETM plus image.Considering there is brightness difference between different regions in an image, the image will be divided into a plurality of windows(sub-images) with a same size firstly, and then each window will be detected using an adaptive detection threshold determined according to the discovered linear relationship. It is found that big errors will appear in some windows, such as those covered by clouds seriously. To solve this problem, the moving step k of windows is proposed to be less than the window width n. Using this mechanism, most pixels will be detected[n/k]×[n/k] times except the boundary pixels, then every pixel will be assigned the final class(green tide or sea water) according to majority rule voting strategy. It can be seen from the experiments, the proposed detection method using multi-windows and their adaptive thresholds can detect green tide from Landsat TM/ETM plus image automatically. Meanwhile, it avoids the reliance on the accurate atmospheric correction.     

Glacier Changes on the Qiangtang Plateau between 1976 and 2015: A Case Study in the Xainza Xiegang Mountains

Xainza County on the Qiangtang Plateau (QP) spans a transitionally climatic and eco-environmental zone and is therefore a very sensitive region. Glaciers in this area are one of the most important kinds of land cover as well as key water resources, yet our understanding of their current status and spatio-temporal change remains limited. Using Landsat images, this study investigated the current distribution of glaciers (2015) in the Xainza Xiegang Mountains as well as the spatio-temporal changes that took place over six time periods between 1976 and 2015. Results show that, in 2015, 131 glaciers covered a total area of 74.59 ± 5.25 km², mainly located between 5,600 and 6,000 m above sea level (a.s.l). Between 1976 and 2015, the total number of glaciers increased by 12, while their areas decreased by 24.98% (24.83 km²). Glacial retreat has induced a loss of water resources of 11.77 × 10⁸ m³ over the last 39 years, while spatial heterogeneities in glacial changes across various sub-basins, aspects, and altitudinal zones are also clearly observed. Climate warming is the key factor driving this continuous glacial retreat; the high-quality dataset presented in this paper for the Xainza Xiegang study area is crucial for the ongoing assessment of climatic and eco-environmental changes.     

Assessing the progress of desertification of the southern edge of Chihuahuan Desert: A case study of San Luis Potosi Plateau

The aim of this study is to establish if the San Luis Potosi Plateau (SLPP), which is part of the southern edge of the Chihuahuan Desert, is generating desertification processes, indicating a progression of the desert toward the central part of Mexico. Therefore, we analyzed the temporal evolution of four environmental indicators of desertification: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Iron Oxides Index (IO) and Surface Temperature (ST). Landsat TM images are used to cover a period from 1990 to 2011. A new equation of total balance is proposed to generate an image of the overall evolution of each factor which is applied to get a probability map of desertification. The evolution of NDVI, NDWI and IO shows a behavior almost stable over the time. In contrast, the ST shows a slight increase. The outcomes of this study confirm periods of vegetation re-greening and 8.80% of the SLPP has the highest probability to develop desertification. The most affected area is the portion west of the region, and the east and south are the least affected areas. The results suggest a slight advance of the desert, although most of the area doesn’t have the necessary conditions to develop desertification.     

基于GF-5、Landsat8与GF-2遥感数据的蚀变信息提取研究——以四川宁南铅锌矿集区为例

四川宁南铅锌矿集区是中国重要的铅锌矿成矿区之一，区内铅锌矿床广泛分布，其围岩蚀变主要为白云岩化、方解石化、黏土矿化、硅化、黄铁矿化及赤铁矿化，是重要的找矿标志，同时也为遥感提取铁染、羟基、碳酸根离子蚀变信息提供了重要的理论依据。由于遥感卫星传感器类型的不同，同一研究区内不同种类影像所得到的数据会有所差异，且采用不同的提取方法所得到的蚀变信息结果也会有所不同，因此，对同一区域进行单一影像或单一提取方法的研究往往存在偶然性与不充分性。据此，文章基于对研究区内Landsat8与GF-5两种影像数据的详细解读，采用3种有效方法进行蚀变信息提取。①波段比值法，对影像数据采用波段比值计算，并对波段比值进行密度分割，从中突出铁染，羟基、碳酸根离子蚀变信息；②主成分分析法和主分量密度分割法对铁染蚀变信息，羟基、碳酸根离子蚀变信息进行提取并作分级处理，结合GF-2高空间分辨率影像以及依据同谱异物、同物异谱、混合像元等原理剔除伪异常，以得到有效的蚀变信息；③光谱角匹配法，通过提取GF-5高光谱影像数据的纯净端员，结合光谱角匹配技术提取有效的蚀变信息矿物。对2种影像数据分别用3种提取方法所得到的蚀变信息结果进行对比，讨论其差异性，并通过叠合已知矿产地信息的方法筛选出效果较好的蚀变信息，将选取出的结果进行综合比对，最终在宁南矿集区圈定出预测靶区，经过室内化探数据验证及野外实地工作验证，证实其真实性，同时也为该地区下一步工作提供真实可靠的资料。
