In this study multi-source remote sensing data were used to retrieve the surface area and water level time series of five inland lakes in the south-central part of the Tibetan Plateau over the past dec- ades. Changes in water level and surface area of the lakes were investigated. The results showed that the water level of three lakes （Puma Yumco, Taro Co, Zhari Namco） increased, with expanding surface area, while the water levels of the other two lakes （Paiku Co, Mapam Yumco） fell, with shrinking area. The water levels of the lakes experienced remarkable changes in 2000-2012 as compared with 1976-1999. Spatially, lakes located at the southern fringe of the Tibetan Plateau showed consistency in water level changes, which was different from lakes in the central Tibetan Plateau.展开更多

Dongluo Island in South China Sea was taken as a typical study area. The band ratio model was established by using measured points and three multispectral images of Landsat-8, SPOT-6(Systeme Probatoire d'Observation de la Terre, No.6) and WorldView-2. The band ratio model with the highest accuracy is selected for the depth inversion respectively. The results show that the accuracy of SPOT-6 image is the highest in the inversion of coastal depth. Meanwhile, analyzing the error of inversion from different depth ranges, the accuracy of the inversion is lower in the range of 0–5 m because of the influence of human activities. The inversion accuracy of 5–10 m is the highest, and the inversion error increases with the increase of water depth in the range of 5–20 m for the three kinds of satellite images. There is no linear relationship between the accuracy of remote sensing water depth inversion and spatial resolution of remote sensing data, and it is affected by performance and parameters of sensor. It is necessary to strengthen the research of remote sensor in order to further improve the accuracy of inversion.展开更多

文摘Lakes in the Tibetan Plateau are considered sensitive responders to global warming Variations in physical features of lake systems such as surface area and water level are very helpful in understanding regional responses to global warming in recent decades. In this study multi-source remote sensing data were used to retrieve the surface area and water level time series of five inland lakes in the south-central part of the Tibetan Plateau over the past dec- ades. Changes in water level and surface area of the lakes were investigated. The results showed that the water level of three lakes （Puma Yumco, Taro Co, Zhari Namco） increased, with expanding surface area, while the water levels of the other two lakes （Paiku Co, Mapam Yumco） fell, with shrinking area. The water levels of the lakes experienced remarkable changes in 2000-2012 as compared with 1976-1999. Spatially, lakes located at the southern fringe of the Tibetan Plateau showed consistency in water level changes, which was different from lakes in the central Tibetan Plateau.

文摘Coastal depth is an important research focus of coastal waters and is also a key factor in coastal environment. Dongluo Island in South China Sea was taken as a typical study area. The band ratio model was established by using measured points and three multispectral images of Landsat-8, SPOT-6(Systeme Probatoire d'Observation de la Terre, No.6) and WorldView-2. The band ratio model with the highest accuracy is selected for the depth inversion respectively. The results show that the accuracy of SPOT-6 image is the highest in the inversion of coastal depth. Meanwhile, analyzing the error of inversion from different depth ranges, the accuracy of the inversion is lower in the range of 0–5 m because of the influence of human activities. The inversion accuracy of 5–10 m is the highest, and the inversion error increases with the increase of water depth in the range of 5–20 m for the three kinds of satellite images. There is no linear relationship between the accuracy of remote sensing water depth inversion and spatial resolution of remote sensing data, and it is affected by performance and parameters of sensor. It is necessary to strengthen the research of remote sensor in order to further improve the accuracy of inversion.
文摘This paper aims at providing multi-source remote sensing images registered in geometric space for image fusion.Focusing on the characteristics and differences of multi-source remote sensing images,a feature-based registration algorithm is implemented.The key technologies include image scale-space for implementing multi-scale properties,Harris corner detection for keypoints extraction,and partial intensity invariant feature descriptor(PIIFD)for keypoints description.Eventually,a multi-scale Harris-PIIFD image registration algorithm framework is proposed.The experimental results of fifteen sets of representative real data show that the algorithm has excellent,stable performance in multi-source remote sensing image registration,and can achieve accurate spatial alignment,which has strong practical application value and certain generalization ability.
文摘The automatic registration of multi-source remote sensing images (RSI) is a research hotspot of remote sensing image preprocessing currently. A special automatic image registration module named the Image Autosync has been embedded into the ERDAS IMAGINE software of version 9.0 and above. The registration accuracies of the module verified for the remote sensing images obtained from different platforms or their different spatial resolution. Four tested registration experiments are discussed in this article to analyze the accuracy differences based on the remote sensing data which have different spatial resolution. The impact factors inducing the differences of registration accuracy are also analyzed.

文摘Agriculture is the foundation of socio-economic development and is highly influenced by weather and climate conditions.Drought is one of the most significant threats to agricultural development and food security.Currently,in-situ drought monitoring based on weather stations and based on remote sensing data has limitations,including infrequent updates,limited coverage,and low accuracy.This study leverages multi-source remote sensing data to monitor agricultural drought in Heilongjiang Province,China.We developed multi-source composite drought indices(MCDIs)at various timescales(3,6,9,and 12 months)by integrating precipitation,land surface temperature,soil moisture,and vegetation indices.Utilizing remote sensing data from various sources,we calculated a series of single drought indices,which are the precipitation condition index,soil moisture condition index,vegetation condition index,and temperature condition index.These are then integrated into MCDIs using a multivariable linear regression approach.The analysis reveals that MCDIs correlate more with standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index(SPEI)than single drought indices.When examining the correlation between different MCDIs and the affected area of crops and major grain production,MCDI-9 showed the highest correlation with the affected area of crops,while MCDI-12 showed the highest correlation with grain production.This suggests that these two MCDIs at different timescales are better indicators of agricultural drought.The spatio-temporal analysis of MCDI indicates that drought in Heilongjiang Province primarily occurs in early spring,gradually spreading from the Greater Khingan Mountains region to the southeastern plains.The drought gradually alleviates during the summer,ending by the autumn harvest period.Therefore,the MCDIs constructed in this study can serve as effective methods and indicators for drought monitoring in Heilongjiang Province and similar regions.

文摘With the increasing frequency of floods,in-depth flood event analyses are essential for effective disaster relief and prevention.Satellite-based flood event datasets have become the primary data source for flood event analyses instead of limited disaster maps due to their enhanced availability.Nevertheless,despite the vast amount of available remote sensing images,existing flood event datasets continue to pose significant challenges in flood event analyses due to the uneven geographical distribution of data,the scarcity of time series data,and the limited availability of flood-related semantic information.There has been a surge in acceptance of deep learning models for flood event analyses,but some existing flood datasets do not align well with model training,and distinguishing flooded areas has proven difficult with limited data modalities and semantic information.Moreover,efficient retrieval and pre-screening of flood-related imagery from vast satellite data impose notable obstacles,particularly within large-scale analyses.To address these issues,we propose a Multimodal Flood Event Dataset(MFED)for deep-learning-based flood event analyses and data retrieval.It consists of 18 years of multi-source remote sensing imagery and heterogeneous textual information covering flood-prone areas worldwide.Incorporating optical and radar imagery can exploit the correlation and complementarity between distinct image modalities to capture the pixel features in flood imagery.It is worth noting that text modality data,including auxiliary hydrological information extracted from the Global Flood Database and text information refined from online news records,can also offer a semantic supplement to the images for flood event retrieval and analysis.To verify the applicability of the MFED in deep learning models,we carried out experiments with different models using a single modality and different combinations of modalities,which fully verified the effectiveness of the dataset.Furthermore,we also verify the efficiency of the MFED in comparative experiments with existing multimodal datasets and diverse neural network structures.

文摘Yellow rust(Puccinia striiformis f.sp.Tritici,YR)and fusarium head blight(Fusarium graminearum,FHB)are the two main diseases affecting wheat in the main grain-producing areas of East China,which is common for the two diseases to appear simultaneously in some main production areas.It is necessary to discriminate wheat YR and FHB at the regional scale to accurately locate the disease in space,conduct detailed disease severity monitoring,and scientific control.Four images on different dates were acquired from Sentinel-2,Landsat-8,and Gaofen-1 during the critical period of winter wheat,and 22 remote sensing features that characterize the wheat growth status were then calculated.Meanwhile,6 meteorological parameters that reflect the wheat phenological information were also obtained by combining the site meteorological data and spatial interpolation technology.Then,the principal components(PCs)of comprehensive remote sensing and meteorological features were extracted with principal component analysis(PCA).The PCs-based discrimination models were established to map YR and FHB damage using the random forest(RF)and backpropagation neural network(BPNN).The models’performance was verified based on the disease field truth data(57 plots during the filling period)and 5-fold cross-validation.The results revealed that the PCs obtained after PCA dimensionality reduction outperformed the initial features(IFs)from remote sensing and meteorology in discriminating between the two diseases.Compared to the IFs,the average area under the curve for both micro-average and macro-average ROC curves increased by 0.07 in the PCs-based RF models and increased by 0.16 and 0.13,respectively,in the PCs-based BPNN models.Notably,the PCs-based BPNN discrimination model emerged as the most effective,achieving an overall accuracy of 83.9%.Our proposed discrimination model for wheat YR and FHB,coupled with multi-source remote sensing images and meteorological data,overcomes the limitations of a single-sensor and single-phase remote sensing information in multiple stress discrimination in cloudy and rainy areas.It performs well in revealing the damage spatial distribution of the two diseases at a regional scale,providing a basis for detailed disease severity monitoring,and scientific prevention and control.

文摘Accurate and efficient detection of building changes in remote sensing imagery is crucial for urban planning,disaster emergency response,and resource management.However,existing methods face challenges such as spectral similarity between buildings and backgrounds,sensor variations,and insufficient computational efficiency.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a novel Multi-scale Efficient Wavelet-based Change Detection Network(MewCDNet),which integrates the advantages of Convolutional Neural Networks and Transformers,balances computational costs,and achieves high-performance building change detection.The network employs EfficientNet-B4 as the backbone for hierarchical feature extraction,integrates multi-level feature maps through a multi-scale fusion strategy,and incorporates two key modules:Cross-temporal Difference Detection(CTDD)and Cross-scale Wavelet Refinement(CSWR).CTDD adopts a dual-branch architecture that combines pixel-wise differencing with semanticaware Euclidean distance weighting to enhance the distinction between true changes and background noise.CSWR integrates Haar-based Discrete Wavelet Transform with multi-head cross-attention mechanisms,enabling cross-scale feature fusion while significantly improving edge localization and suppressing spurious changes.Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets demonstrate MewCDNet’s superiority over comparison methods:achieving F1 scores of 91.54%on LEVIR,93.70%on WHUCD,and 64.96%on S2Looking for building change detection.Furthermore,MewCDNet exhibits optimal performance on the multi-class⋅SYSU dataset(F1:82.71%),highlighting its exceptional generalization capability.

文摘This review summarizes studies of hydrothermal alteration minerals at the Qiucun gold deposit in southeastern China and focuses on characterization and mapping of the deposit using hyperspectral remote sensing.The deposit exhibits multistage fluid-rock interaction,as evidenced by systematic alteration assemblages,including silicification,sericitization by white micas,the development of argillaceous clays,variable chloritization,and locally significant carbonate alteration.We describe the genetic importance of such mineral groups and emphasize their diagnostic Visible and Near-Infrared to Short-Wave Infrared(VNIR-SWIR)spectral signatures,especially Al-OH,Mg-OH/Fe-OH,and CO3 absorption bands,which make it possible to distinguish between minerals,not to mention the fact that,in some instances,compositional trends may be predicted.This review’s methodological advances are discussed beginning with data collection at satellite,airborne,and ground levels,proceeding to processing procedures,such as atmospheric and topographic correction,and culminating in spectral analysis,including continuum removal,spectral matching,and unmixing/classification techniques.An integrated study of hyperspectral findings reveals that alteration minerals develop spatially coherent zones that are strongly controlled by fault/fracture structures and host-rock reactivity,producing proximal silicification/sericitization cores and larger silicified/larcenies of argillaceous rocks owing to diverse apex coverings of carbonate.This should be combined with petrography and geochemistry to address overprinting,mixed pixels,and surface weathering,and to couple mineral maps with ore-forming processes.The review finds that hyperspectral remote sensing offers a solid modeling platform for the deposit-scale alteration at Qiucun and other hydrothermal gold systems,and outlines the directions for future research to integrate quantitatively and more threedimensional alteration characterization.

文摘As a vital food crop,rice is an important part of global food crops.Studying the spatiotemporal changes in rice cultivation facilitates early prediction of production risks and provides support for agricultural policy decisions related to rice.With the increasing application of satellite remote sensing technology in crop monitoring,remote sensing for rice cultivation has emerged as a novel approach,offering new perspectives for monitoring rice planting.This paper briefly outlined the current research and development status of satellite remote sensing for monitoring rice cultivation both at home and abroad.Foreign scholars have made innovations in data sources and methodologies for satellite remote sensing monitoring,and utilized multi-source satellite information and machine learning algorithms to enhance the accuracy of rice planting monitoring.Scholars in China have achieved significant results in the study of satellite remote sensing for monitoring rice cultivation.Their research and application in monitoring rice planting areas provide valuable references for agricultural production management.However,satellite remote sensing monitoring of rice still faces challenges such as low spatiotemporal resolution and difficulties related to cloud cover and data fusion,which require further in-depth investigation.Additionally,there are shortcomings in the accuracy of remote sensing monitoring for fragmented farmland plots and smallholder farming.To address these issues,future efforts should focus on developing multi-source heterogeneous data fusion analysis technologies and researching monitoring systems.These advancements are expected to enable high-precision large-scale acquisition of rice planting information,laying a foundation for future smart agriculture.
文摘Shallow landslides are strongly controlled by near-surface lithological variability,yet conventional geological maps are often too generalized to support accurate susceptibility assessment in complex terrains.This review synthesizes recent advances in remote sensing–based lithological mapping and evaluates their integration into landslide susceptibility modeling.Evidence from the literature indicates that remote sensing-derived lithological products,particularly those incorporating mineralogical information and higher spatial resolution,consistently outperform traditional geological maps in improving model accuracy and spatial detail,especially in heterogeneous environments.However,key challenges remain,including scale mismatches between surface observations and subsurface controls,limited ground validation,uncertainty propagation,and restricted model transferability across regions.The review identifies multi-sensor data fusion and explainable machine learning as the most promising directions for advancing lithological discrimination and model reliability.Future progress depends on integrating remote sensing with process-based understanding,improving validation strategies,and standardizing uncertainty reporting.These developments are essential for enabling more robust,scalable,and operationally relevant landslide susceptibility assessments in complex terrains.Lastly,we describe the directions of research that focus on multi-sensor fusion,explainable machine learning,UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)-enabled validation,and standardized uncertainty reporting that can help articulate landslide susceptibility assessment,making them even more robust and operationally significant.

文摘High-resolution remote sensing images(HRSIs)are now an essential data source for gathering surface information due to advancements in remote sensing data capture technologies.However,their significant scale changes and wealth of spatial details pose challenges for semantic segmentation.While convolutional neural networks(CNNs)excel at capturing local features,they are limited in modeling long-range dependencies.Conversely,transformers utilize multihead self-attention to integrate global context effectively,but this approach often incurs a high computational cost.This paper proposes a global-local multiscale context network(GLMCNet)to extract both global and local multiscale contextual information from HRSIs.A detail-enhanced filtering module(DEFM)is proposed at the end of the encoder to refine the encoder outputs further,thereby enhancing the key details extracted by the encoder and effectively suppressing redundant information.In addition,a global-local multiscale transformer block(GLMTB)is proposed in the decoding stage to enable the modeling of rich multiscale global and local information.We also design a stair fusion mechanism to transmit deep semantic information from deep to shallow layers progressively.Finally,we propose the semantic awareness enhancement module(SAEM),which further enhances the representation of multiscale semantic features through spatial attention and covariance channel attention.Extensive ablation analyses and comparative experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.Specifically,our method achieved a mean Intersection over Union(mIoU)of 86.89%on the ISPRS Potsdam dataset and 84.34%on the ISPRS Vaihingen dataset,outperforming existing models such as ABCNet and BANet.

文摘Deep learning has made significant progress in the field of oriented object detection for remote sensing images.However,existing methods still face challenges when dealing with difficult tasks such as multi-scale targets,complex backgrounds,and small objects in remote sensing.Maintaining model lightweight to address resource constraints in remote sensing scenarios while improving task completion for remote sensing tasks remains a research hotspot.Therefore,we propose an enhanced multi-scale feature extraction lightweight network EM-YOLO based on the YOLOv8s architecture,specifically optimized for the characteristics of large target scale variations,diverse orientations,and numerous small objects in remote sensing images.Our innovations lie in two main aspects:First,a dynamic snake convolution(DSC)is introduced into the backbone network to enhance the model’s feature extraction capability for oriented targets.Second,an innovative focusing-diffusion module is designed in the feature fusion neck to effectively integrate multi-scale feature information.Finally,we introduce Layer-Adaptive Sparsity for magnitude-based Pruning(LASP)method to perform lightweight network pruning to better complete tasks in resource-constrained scenarios.Experimental results on the lightweight platform Orin demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the original YOLOv8s model in oriented remote sensing object detection tasks,and achieves comparable or superior performance to state-of-the-art methods on three authoritative remote sensing datasets(DOTA v1.0,DOTA v1.5,and HRSC2016).
文摘Indeed,a range of systems in the environment requires timely,spatially explicit,and credible information to support its environmental decision-making,but no one observing system can give the complete and reliable measures of the Earth system across scales.This review summarizes how the realization of the Compute the Planet is underway in the form of machine learning,remote sensing,and sensor data fusion to generate decision-ready environmental insights.We use the application-first approach,which considers remote sensing,in situ and Internet of Things(IoT)sensing,and physics-based models as complementary streams of evidence with similar strengths and failures.We look critically at how an integrated system can convert heterogeneous observations to action products across three high impact application areas:atmosphere and air quality,water–land–ecosystem dynamics,and hazards.Rapid-response situational awareness,ecosystem condition metrics,drought and flood indicators,exposure maps,and hazard/extreme indicators are key products.The integrated systems to environment interface in three high impact application areas:atmosphere and air quality,water-land-ecosystem dynamics,and hazard Examine Our operational requirements can often determine real-life value such as latency,time stability,smooth degradation in the presence of missing or degraded inputs,and calibrated uncertainty usable in thresholdbased decisions.These pitfalls are common across fields:mismatch in the scale between a point sensor and a gridded product,objectives on proxies in remotely sensed measurements,domain shift in the extremes and changing baselines,and evaluation aspects,which overestimate generalization because of spatiotemporal autocorrelation.Based on these lessons,we present cross-domain proposals for strong validation,uncertainty quantification,provenance,and versioning,as well as fair performance evaluation.We conclude that the next era of environmental intelligence will see a reduction in average accuracy improvement and an increase in terms of robustness,transparency,and operational responsibility,thus allowing the integrated environmental intelligence system to be deployed,which may be relied on to monitor human health,resource allocation,and survival in a more climate-adapted world.

文摘Climate change is rapidly altering hydrological systems through changes in precipitation patterns,increase the rate of glacier retreat rates,altered snow dynamics,and groundwater stress.Although remote sensing has been extensively deployed in hydrological research,existing reviews typically focus on a single hydrological variable or on particular satellite missions.The review synthesizes remote sensing technologies to monitor climate-related hydrological variations across various components of the water cycle.It is a systematic examination of major satellite missions,sensor technologies,and analytical methods used to monitor precipitation,soil moisture,snow cover,surface water processes,and groundwater variability.The review will employ a structured literature review methodology,focusing on recent peer-reviewed articles that apply optical,microwave,radar,and gravimetric remote sensing methods for hydrological monitoring under changing climatic conditions.It has paid specific attention to the provision of the comparative capabilities,spatial-temporal resolutions,and practical applications of key satellite missions,such as Landsat,Sentinel,MODIS(Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer),GPM(Global Precipitation Measurement),and GRACE(Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment).Moreover,to illustrate the use of remote sensing in detecting glacier retreat,drought formation,and coastal groundwater salinization,regional case studies are selected and analyzed.The review identifies new opportunities to use multi-sensor data,machine learning,and high-resolution monitoring to enhance hydrological analyses.This study is useful in practice by synthesizing existing technological opportunities and research trends to enhance climate-responsive water resource monitoring and by outlining future research directions in remote sensing-based hydrological analysis.
