Soil characterization based on land cover heterogeneity over a tropical landscape: an integrated approach using earth observation data-sets

Soil is a vital part of the natural environment and is always responding to changes in environmental factors, along with the influences of anthropogenic factors and land use changes. The long-term change in soil properties will result in change in soil health and fertility, and hence the soil productivity. Hence, the main aim of this paper focuses on the analysis of land use/land cover (LULC) change pattern in spatial and temporal perspective and to present its impact on soil properties in the Merawu catchment over the period of 18?years. Post classification change detection was performed to quantify the decadal changes in historical LULC over the periods of 1991, 2001 and 2009. The pixel to pixel comparison method was used to detect the LULC of the area. The key LULC types were selected for investigation of soil properties. Soil samples were analysed in situ to measure the physicochemical soil properties. The results of this study show remarkable changes in LULC in the period of 18?years. The effect of land cover change on soil properties, soil compaction and soil strength was found to be significant at a level of <0.05.     

基于遥感影像的城市用地变化监测方法研究

利用遥感技术进行动态变化监测是地理国情监测的重点研究内容之一,动态监测技术方法较多,笔者在对已有方法探讨的基础上,基于World View-2及资源三号遥感影像,提出了一种城市用地变化信息检测的多波段主成分分析方法。该方法通过线性变换生成互不相关的波段组合,对多波段主成分分析后的影像采用直方图统计法进行阈值分割,再经过滤波处理,去除干扰信息。研究结果表明,采用该方法提取两期遥感影像上的变化信息,可以实现动态变化监测。     

土地变更调查遥感监测中QuickBird遥感影像处理方法的讨论

遥感技术在全国土地变更调查工作中得到广泛应用,主要通过从最新获取的遥感影像上提取所需信息,再对比之前的数据库信息进行分析得到一定时间阶段的土地变更情况。文章针对在全国土地变更项目中使用较广的QuickBird影像,以QuickBird影像的全色影像、多光谱影像、前时相基础底图及高程数据为基础,对影像进行拼接处理、降位处理、数据融合、影像彩色合成,以及几何纠正等处理过程,并通过实验确定一个最佳处理流程。最终得到地类清晰可见、容易判读的影像,为之后的影像信息提取打好了基础。     

美国内政部四轮战略规划的发展趋势及特点分析

美国内政部的战略规划是该部施政纲领的集中体现。四轮战略规划的目标从2003年强调资源保护、利用与休闲娱乐的平衡,到2007年增加全球经济、环境、政治和其他因素对内政部战略规划的影响,直至2014年强调资源的娱乐、人文观赏价值,并重视培养下一代的管理责任。内政部战略定位逐渐清晰。资源保护、经济发展、休闲娱乐的相对关系发生变化,从强调三者平衡到强调资源的休闲、文化等景观价值。

A long-term Global LAnd Surface Satellite (GLASS) data-set for environmental studies

Recently, five Global LAnd Surface Satellite (GLASS) products have been released: leaf area index (LAI), shortwave broadband albedo, longwave broadband emissivity, incident short radiation, and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). The first three products cover the years 1982–2012 (LAI) and 1981–2010 (albedo and emissivity) at 1–5 km and 8-day resolutions, and the last two radiation products span the period 2008–2010 at 5 km and 3-h resolutions. These products have been evaluated and validated, and the preliminary results indicate that they are of higher quality and accuracy than the existing products. In particular, the first three products have much longer time series, and are therefore highly suitable for various environmental studies. This paper outlines the algorithms, product characteristics, preliminary validation results, potential applications and some examples of initial analysis of these products.     

Polarimetric synthetic aperture radar change detection for specific land cover types

This paper presents a supervised polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) change detection method applied to specific land cover types. For each pixel of a PolSAR image, its target scattering vector can be modeled as having a complex multivariate normal distribution. Based on this assumption, the joint distribution of two corresponding vectors in a pair of PolSAR images is derived. Then, a generalized likelihood ratio test statistic for the equality of two likelihood functions of such joint distribution is considered and a maximum likelihood distance measure for specific land cover types is presented. Subsequently, the Kittler and Illingworth minimum error threshold segmentation method is applied to extract the specific changed areas. Experiments on two repeat-pass Radarsat-2 fully polarimetric images of Suzhou, China, demonstrate that the proposed change detection method gives a good performance in determining the specific changed areas in PolSAR images, especially the areas that have changed to water.
