构建地块二维表征及CNN模型的作物遥感分类

本文旨在研究基于地块数据约束的深度学习模型的分类特征表示方法,以识别不同作物在不同时相上光谱差异从而对作物类型进行分类。通过Google Earth Engine平台获取作物生育期内全部Landsat 8影像,利用其质量评定波段完成研究区无云时相及区域上的地块统计,提取地块级别的各波段反射率均值按照时相顺序及波长进行排列,构建波谱、时相二维特征图作为该地块的抽象表示。通过构建相对最优的卷积神经网络CNN(Convolutional Neural Network)结构完成对特征图的分类,从而完成对地块的分类。构建CNN模型并不需要手工特征和预定义功能的需求,可完成提取特征并遵循端到端原则进行分类。将该模型的分类结果与其他最为常用机器学习分类器进行了比较,获得了优于常用遥感分类算法的分类精度。结果表明地块数据的加入可以有效的缩减计算规模并提供了准确的分类边界。所提出得方法在地块特征表示及作物分类中具有突出的应用潜力,应视为基于地块的多时相影像分类任务的优选方法。     

以地块分类为核心的冬小麦种植面积遥感估算

以提高冬小麦种植面积估算精度为目标,选取种植结构复杂的都市农业区,采用QuickBird影像数字化农田地块边界,以多时相TM影像为核心数据源,以地块为基本分类单元,进行不同特征向量组合、不同分类器的冬小麦地块分类方法研究,并对比分析了基于地块分类和基于像元分类的冬小麦种植面积估算精度。研究结果表明,基于地块分类的冬小麦种植面积估算方法的总量精度和位置精度均高于像元分类;植被指数和纹理信息的引入有助于进一步提高地块分类精度;支持向量机与最大似然均能得到高达97%的总量精度和90%的位置精度,支持向量机地块分类所需的训练样本量远低于最大似然,因此支持向量机更加适合于冬小麦地块分类;冬小麦错分与漏分情况大多发生在细碎地块,其面积总量较小,而大地块错分和漏分较少,因此相对于像元分类,地块分类能在整个区域能得到较高的冬小麦位置精度和总量精度。     

Mapping diversified peri-urban agriculture – potential of object-based versus per-field land cover/land use classification

High spatial resolution satellite data contribute to improving land cover/land use (LCLU) classification in agriculture. A classification procedure based on Quickbird satellite image data was developed to map LCLU of diversified agriculture at sub-communal and communal level (7 km²). Segmentation performance of the panchromatic band in combination with high pass filters (HPF) was tested first. Accuracy of field boundary delineation was evaluated by an object-based segmentation, a per-field and a manual classification, along with a quantitative accuracy assessment. Sub-communal classification revealed an overall accuracy of 84% with a κ coefficient of 0.77 for the per-field vector segmentation compared to an overall accuracy of 56–60% and a κ coefficient of 0.37–0.42 for object-based approaches. Per-field vector segmentation was thus superior and used for LCLU classification at communal level. Overall accuracy scored 83% and the κ coefficient 0.7. In diversified agriculture, per-field vector segmentation and classification achieved higher classification results.
