Using a simulation analysis to evaluate the impact of crop mapping error on crop area estimation from stratified sampling

ABSTRACT

To analyze the efficiency of area estimations (i.e. estimation accuracy and variation of estimation) impacted by crop mapping error, we simulated error at eight levels for thematic maps using a stratified sampling estimation methodology. The results show that the estimation efficiency is influenced by the combination of the sample size and the error level. Evaluating the trade-offs between sample size and error level showed that reducing the crop mapping error level provides the most benefit (i.e. higher estimation efficiency). Further, sampling performance differed based on the heterogeneity of the crop area. The results demonstrated that the influence of increasing the error level on estimation efficiency is more detrimental in heterogeneous areas than in homogeneous ones. Therefore, to obtain higher estimation efficiency, a larger sample size and lower error level or both are needed, especially in heterogeneous areas. We suggest that existing land-cover maps should first be used to determine the heterogeneity of the area. The appropriate sample size for these areas then can be determined according to all three factors: heterogeneity, expected estimation efficiency, and sampling budget. Overall, extending our understanding of the impacts of crop mapping error is necessary for decision making to improve our ability to effectively estimate crop area.     

HIGH PRECISION CCD CALIBRATION AND ITS APPLICATIONS

ABSTRACT

With the help of CCD images, the realization of high precision positioning and measurement has become the basic standard for machine vision and real time photogrammetry systems. However, deformation and other sorts of degradation occurring during transmission are major limiting factors of the precision attainable with most current CCD cameras and frame grabbers. So a precise radiometric and geometric transmission of images from CCD sensor to memory is a fundamental aspect of CCD camera calibration. The geometric calibration system, which uses some image processing algorithms of the CCD camera based on the researched and developed system is discussed. The reliability and validity are also discussed. The experimental results for the calibration of the CCD array will be taken as an important quality index for CCD evaluation.     

Quantifying the building stock from optical high-resolution satellite imagery for assessing disaster risk

This study uses high-resolution (HR) satellite imagery to quantify the stock of buildings, referred herein as building stock. The risk assessment requires information on the natural hazards and on the element at risk, that is the building stock in this article. This study combines (1) texture-based image processing to map built-up areas, (2) statistical sampling that allows locating the building samples and (3) photo-interpretation to encoding building footprints. Statistical inference is then used to quantify the building stock per class of building size. Legaspi in the Philippines is used as a case study. The results show that texture-based computer algorithms provide accurate area estimations of the built-up, that the detail of HR imagery allows the mapping of single buildings using photo-interpretation, and that a systematic sampling approach that uses building encoding and built-up maps can be used to quantify the building stock.     

土壤饱和导水率空间预测的不确定性分析

当土壤转换函数应用于土壤水力性质估计时,对于预测值的不确定性往往容易被忽视。为了有针对性地提出减少这种不确定性的方法和措施,提高土壤转换函数的实际应用能力,以两种现有的土壤转换函数(Vereecken和HYPRES模型)为例,将其应用于山东省平度市土壤饱和导水率的空间预测,并利用拉丁超立方抽样(LHS)方法对预测结果的不确定性进行了分析。结果表明,饱和导水率空间预测的不确定性主要来源于土壤基本性质的空间插值误差和土壤转换函数自身的预测误差。当Vereecken模型应用于饱和导水率空间预测时,预测结果的不确定性主要由土壤基本性质空间插值误差所决定,土壤转换函数预测误差的影响较小,而HYPRES模型则是受二者的双重影响。     

保定—沧州地区土壤地球化学公里网格样方代表性研究

土壤中的元素在空间上的分布具有一定变异性。在开展土壤地质环境调查监测时,有必要进行单点采样的科学性分析。对于在1 km2的区域内,如何实现科学、有效和合理地采样来获得区域内土壤元素含量的空间分布特征是一个需要解决的课题。本文在保定—沧州平原地区,选择36个县市,在每个县市的大片农田区以十字形方式采集9个单点样,通过不同的样品组合方式,来研究其结果之间的差别。结果显示:不同的混合方式,元素浓度含量的相对偏差大部分小于15%,在可接受的误差范围内。因此在1 km2区域的中心采集一个单点样,即可基本代表该区域内土壤元素的含量组成。

粒度不均匀铬矿石取样代表性的研究

以一批进口土耳其铬矿石为例,对所取的40个样品进行0～ 10 mm、10 ～ 50 mm、50 ～ 150 mm、150～ 250 mm及大于250 mm五个区间的粒度筛分,分析粒度不均匀的铬矿石在各粒度区间内组分含量和所占质量百分比的差异情况.根据分析结果对40个样品在50 ～ 150 mm区间内的质量百分比与样品总组分含量进行相关性分析,结果表明:两者的相关系数为0.466,相关系数的显著性概率为0.002,小于0.01,说明在50～150 mm粒度区间内矿石的质量百分比与样品的总含量的相关性是高度显著的,提出为了提高粒度不均匀的铬矿石取样代表性,应首先保证在所含矿石质量百分比与总组分含量相关性最大的粒度区间内(50 ～ 150 mm),所取矿石样品与实际货物中矿石的质量百分比相一致.     

Sampling epifauna, a necessity for a better assessment of benthic ecosystem functioning: an example of the epibenthic aggregated species Ophiothrix fragilis from the Bay of Seine

Sampling the sea bottom surface remains difficult because of the surface hydraulic shock due to water flowing through the gear (i.e., the bow wave effect) and the loss of epifauna organisms due to the gear’s closing mechanism. Slow-moving mobile epifauna, such as the ophiuroid Ophiothrix fragilis, form high-density patches in the English Channel, not only on pebbles like in the Dover Strait or offshore Brittany but also on gravel in the Bay of Seine (>5000 ind m⁻²). Such populations form high biomasses and control the water transfer from the water column to the sediment. Estimating their real density and biomass is essential for the assessment of benthic ecosystem functioning using trophic web modelling. In this paper, we present and discuss the patch patterns and sampling efficiency of the different methods for collecting in the dense beds of O. fragilis in the Bay of Seine. The large Hamon grab (0.25 m⁻²) highly under-estimated the ophiuroid density, while the Smith McIntyre appeared adequate among the tested sampling grabs. Nowadays, diving sampling, underwater photography and videos with remote operated vehicle appear to be the recommended alternatives to estimate the real density of such dense slow-moving mobile epifauna.
