PTrees: A point-based approach to forest tree extraction from lidar data

This paper introduces PTrees, a multi-scale dynamic point cloud segmentation dedicated to forest tree extraction from lidar point clouds. The method process the point data using the raw elevation values (Z) and compute height (H = Z − ground elevation) during post-processing using an innovative procedure allowing to preserve the geometry of crown points. Multiple segmentations are done at different scales. Segmentation criteria are then applied to dynamically select the best set of apices from the tree segments extracted at the various scales. The selected set of apices is then used to generate a final segmentation. PTrees has been tested in 3 different forest types, allowing to detect 82% of the trees with under 10% of false detection rate. Future development will integrate crown profile estimation during the segmentation process in order to both maximize the detection of suppressed trees and minimize false detections.     

结合ASIFT和归一化的抗仿射变换遥感影像盲水印算法

针对遥感影像使用过程中,含水印影像经过仿射变换后水印与影像的同步性被破坏,导致水印无法正常检测的问题,本文提出了一种适用于遥感影像的抗仿射变换盲水印算法。首先通过ASIFT算法提取影像具有仿射不变性的特征点,根据特征尺度的大小与特征点间的欧式距离筛选适量特征点,构造对应的正方形特征区域;然后通过计算特征区域的仿射不变矩得出归一化变换函数的参数,对特征区域进行归一化处理,并以归一化特征区域的不变质心为中心提取子区域作为水印嵌入区域,对该区域进行二级离散小波变换,得到水印嵌入区域的低频信息;运用量化嵌入规则将水印嵌入到低频信息中,依次进行低频信息逆小波变换,水印嵌入前后特征区域差值图像反归一化,最后将反归一化差值图像叠加在原始影像特征区域上,完成水印的嵌入。实验选用了3000像素×3000像素的高分二号遥感影像作为载体影像,含版权信息的二值图像作为水印,实验表明：含水印的遥感影像经过旋转、平移、缩放在内的仿射变换后,仍能准确提取水印信息;算法可有效抵抗加噪、滤波、裁剪等常规水印攻击,攻击后影像提取的水印与原水印相关系数均高于0.9;水印具有良好不可感知性;在水印提取时无需原始遥感影像,属于盲水印算法。     

基于孔压静力触探试验的水运工程土分类方法研究

土的工程分类是工程勘察和设计应用的关键问题之一。基于孔压静力触探测试（piezocone penetration test,简称CPTU）原位测试参数进行土分类是高效实用的方法。国内外现有分类方法的名称及标准与我国《水运工程岩土勘察规范》（JTS 133－2013）不符合。因此,建立基于CPTU原位测试参数、符合我国行业标准的土工程分类方法具有重要工程意义。在收集大量国内外水运工程CPTU测试资料的基础上,对比分析了616个间距小于5 m的CPTU测试孔和相应钻孔取样与室内土工试验成果。选择国内外7种常用的CPTU土分类图进行应用比较,发现这些土分类图所采用的应力修正计算方法在考虑浅层土体的有效上覆应力修正时存在一定的缺陷,通过引入新的应力修正方法和修正土分类边界线,建立了适合我国水运工程的CPTU土分类方法。对比应用分析表明,该分类图能够准确地进行水运工程土类划分,尤其适合于软土、粉细砂和中粗砂的划分,可作为我国水运工程的土工程分类方法。

Evaluation of directional normalization methods for Landsat TM/ETM+ over primary Amazonian lowland forests

Biodiversity mapping in extensive tropical forest areas poses a major challenge for the interpretation of Landsat images, because floristically clearly distinct forest types may show little difference in reflectance. In such cases, the effects of the bidirectional reflection distribution function (BRDF) can be sufficiently strong to cause erroneous image interpretation and classification. Since the opening of the Landsat archive in 2008, several BRDF normalization methods for Landsat have been developed. The simplest of these consist of an empirical view angle normalization, whereas more complex approaches apply the semi-empirical Ross–Li BRDF model and the MODIS MCD43-series of products to normalize directional Landsat reflectance to standard view and solar angles. Here we quantify the effect of surface anisotropy on Landsat TM/ETM+ images over old-growth Amazonian forests, and evaluate five angular normalization approaches. Even for the narrow swath of the Landsat sensors, we observed directional effects in all spectral bands. Those normalization methods that are based on removing the surface reflectance gradient as observed in each image were adequate to normalize TM/ETM+ imagery to nadir viewing, but were less suitable for multitemporal analysis when the solar vector varied strongly among images. Approaches based on the MODIS BRDF model parameters successfully reduced directional effects in the visible bands, but removed only half of the systematic errors in the infrared bands. The best results were obtained when the semi-empirical BRDF model was calibrated using pairs of Landsat observation. This method produces a single set of BRDF parameters, which can then be used to operationally normalize Landsat TM/ETM+ imagery over Amazonian forests to nadir viewing and a standard solar configuration.     

沉积物中重金属的归一化问题——以Al为例

沉积物的来源、粒度和矿物组成是影响重金属在动力沉积过程中的行为的最显著的因素,用某些参考元素（如Ａｌ、Ｌｉ等）归一化的目的是为了减小沉积物中重金属含量的波动,以揭示人文活动（例如污染）的影响。通过对国内一些河流沉积物中重金属的Ａｌ归一化结果的分析,认为在岩石的风化和变质过程中元素与Ａｌ的相对迁移能力的差异和各种生物过程均可使重金属的Ａｌ归一化值产生显著的变化,在某些情况下Ｍ／Ａｌ值并不一定能准确地描述人类活动对沉积物中重金属的影响。Ａｌ归一化仅能部分地校正粒度分布引起的重金属含量的变化,但不能消除矿物组成的影响。     

Normalization of Hydrodynamic Coefficients in Morison Equation

-The hydrodynamic coefficients C_d and C_m are not only dependent on the size of slender cylin-der,its location in water,KC number and Re number,but also vary with environmental conditions,i.e.,in regular waves or in irregular waves,in pure waves or in wave-current coexisting field.In this paper,thenormalization of hydrodynamic coefficients for various environmental conditions is discussed.When aproper definition of KC number and proper characteristic values of irregular waves are used,a unified re-lationship between C_d,C_m and KC number for regular waves,irregular waves,pure waves and wave-cur-rent coexisting field can be obtained.     

改进的AVAZ方法在裂缝型储层预测中的应用研究

对于裂缝型油气藏,基于叠前方位角地震数据体,利用AVAZ方法进行裂缝属性预测是目前较为有效的裂缝描述手段,然而,由于地震数据通常为窄方位采集,使得不同方位角数据覆盖次数差异较大,导致各方位振幅能量分布不均,最终造成裂缝属性预测中产生趋势性误差。振幅归一化处理技术应用到现有的AVAZ方法中,该方法能够有效地降低因数据采集所造成的趋势性误差,预测结果会更为真实、可靠。在实际油田的应用中,振幅归一化技术显著改善了AVAZ方法对裂缝属性预测的准确性,取得了较好的效果。      

用气象卫星资料估算吉林省主要农作物产量

净第一性生产力（Npp）分析是全球变化研究中广为利用的方法,利用气象卫星资料获得年际植被指数（Iv）估算Npp建立不同作物的Npp与其产量的关系模型,即可实现对粮食总产和不同作物产量的估算。文中介绍了应用净第一性生产力遥感（NPP—RS）模型对吉林省粮食总产和主要作物产量进行估算的方法。采用NPP—RS模型,对1995～2000年吉林省的粮食总产及主要农作物玉米、水稻产量进行了动态估算。对粮食总产估产的平均相对误差为13．6％,玉米的平均相对误差为17．6％,水稻的平均相对误差为6．7％。要提高用此方法进行遥感估产的精度,还需要对当年的种植制度、种植结构的变化有所了解,注意当年的灾情,增加灾害影响系数。
