The potential of ALOS-2 SAR data for the estimation of tropical forest structural characteristics was assessed in Vietnam by collecting forest inventory data. The effect of polarization and seasonality of the SAR data on the estimation of forest biomass was analyzed. The combination of HH, HV, and HH/HV polarizations using multiple linear regression did not improve the estimation of biomass compared to using the HV channel independently, as the HH and HH/HV variables were not statistically significant. The dry season HV backscattering intensity was highly sensitive to the biomass compared to the rainy season backscattering intensity. The SAR data acquired in the rainy season with humid and wet canopies was not very sensitive to the biomass. The strong dependence of the biomass estimates with the season of SAR data acquisition confirmed that the choice of right season SAR data is very important for improving the satellite based estimates of the biomass. The validation results showed that the dry season HV polarization could explain 54% variation of the biomass. 展开更多

Glaciers in the Shaksgam valley provide important fresh water resources to neighbourhood livelihood. Repeated creation of the glacier inventories is important to assess glacier–climate interactions and to predict future runoff from glacierized catchments. For this study, we applied a multi-criteria technique to map the glaciers of the Shaksgam valley of China, using Landsat Thematic Mapper(Landsat TM)(2009) and Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer Global Digital Elevation Model version two(ASTER GDEM V2) data. The geomorphometric parameters slope, plan, and profile curvature were generated from ASTER GDEM. Then they were organized in similar surface groups using cluster analysis. For accurate mapping of supraglacial debris area, clustering results were combined with a thermal mask generated from the Landsat TM thermal band. The debris-free glaciers were identified using the band ratio(TM band 4/TM band 5) technique. Final vector maps of the glaciers were created using overlay tools in a geographic information system(GIS).Accuracy of the generated glacier outlines was assessed through comparison with glacier outlines based on the Second Chinese Glacier Inventory(SCGI) data and glacier outlines created from high-resolution Google Earth? images of 2009. Glacier areas derived using the proposed approach were 3% less than in the reference datasets. Furthermore, final glacier maps show satisfactory mapping results, but identification of the debris-cover glacier terminus(covered by thick debris layer) is still problematic. Therefore, manual editing was necessary to improve the final glacier maps. 展开更多

The purpose of this paper is to study about the interrelationship between the backscattering intensity of PALSAR data and the laboratory measurement of dielectric constant and soil moisture. The characterization of the dielectric constant of arid soils in the 0.3 - 3 GHz frequency range, particularly focused in L-band was analyzed in varied soil moisture content and soil textures. The interrelationship between the relative dielectric constant with soil textures and backscattering of PALSAR data was also analyzed and statistical model was computed. In this study, after collecting the soil samples in the field from top soil (0 - 10 cm) in a homogeneous area then, the dielectric constant was measured using a dielectric probe tool kit. For investigated of the characteristics and behaviors of the dielectric constant and relationship with backscattering a variety of moisture content from 0% to 40% and soil fraction conditions was tested in laboratory condition. All data were analyzed by integrating it with other geophysical data in GIS, such as land cover and soil texture. Thus, the regression model computed between measured soil moisture and backscattering coefficient of PALSR data which were extracted as same point of each soil sample pixel. Finally, after completing the preprocessing, such as removing the speckle noise by averaging, the model was applied to the PALSAR data for retrieving the soil moisture map in arid region of Iran. The analysis of dielectric constant properties result has shown the soil texture after the moisture content has the largest effected on dielectric constant. In addition, the PALSAR data in dual polarization are also able to derive the soil moisture using statistical method. The dielectric constant and backscattering shown have the exponential relationship and the HV polarization mode is more sensitive than the HH mode to soil moisture and overestimated the soil moisture as well. The validation of result has shown the 4.2 Vol-% RMSE of soil moisture. It means that the backscattering analysis should consider about other factors such a surface roughness and mix pixel of vegetation effective. 展开更多

It has been commonly acknowledged that the current global mapping projects have encountered the accuracy challenge. By conducting a comparison among the four existing global land cover datasets (MODIS LC, GLC2000, GLCNMO and GLOBCOVER), it has been identified that certain areas’ accuracy has dragged down the overall accuracy of these global land cover datasets. In this paper, those areas have been defined as the “unreliable area”. This study has recollected the training data from the “unreliable area” within the above four mentioned datasets and reclassified the “unreliable area” by using two supervised classifications. The final result has shown that compared with any existing datasets, a relatively higher accuracy has been able to achieve. 展开更多

Derivation of more sensitive spectral features from the satellite data is immensely important for better retrieving land cover information and change monitoring, such as changes in snow covered area, forests, and barren lands as some examples from local to the global scale. The major objectives of this paper are to present the potential of water-resistant snow index (WSI) for the detection of snow cover changes in the Himalayas, extant two composite images, biophysical image composite (BIC) and forest cover composite (FCC) for the detection of changes in barren lands and forested areas respectively, and two newly designed composite images, water cover composite (WCC) and urban cover composite (UCC) for the detection of changes in water and urban areas respectively. This research implemented the image compositing technique for the detection and visualization of land cover changes (water, forest, barren, and urban) with respect to local administrative areas where a significant land cover change occurred from 2001 to 2016. A case study was also conducted in the Himalayan region to identify snow cover changes from 2001 to 2015 using the WSI. Analysis of the annual variation of the snow cover in the Himalayas indicated a decreasing trend of the snow cover. Consequently, the downstream areas are more likely to suffer from snow related hazards such as glacial outbursts, avalanches, landslides and floods. The changes in snow cover in the Himalayas may bring significant hydrophysical and livelihood changes in the downstream area including the Mekong Delta. Therefore, the countries sharing the Himalayan region should focus on adapting the severe impacts of snow cover changes. The image compositing approach presented in the research demonstrated promising performance for the detection and visualization of other land cover changes as well. 展开更多

The purpose of this paper is to simulate the backscattered signal by experimental data and field working then, comparing with the backscattered signal from actual L-band SAR data over arid to semi-arid environments. The experimental data included the laboratory-measured dielectric constant of soil samples and the roughness parameter. A backscattering model used to simulate the backscattering coefficient in sparse vegetation land cover. The backscattering coefficient (σ0) simulated using the AIEM (advanced integral equation model) based on the experimental data. The roughness data were considered by the field observation, chain method measuring and photogrammetry simulation technique by stereo image of ground real photography. The simulated backscattering coefficients were compared with the real extracted backscattering coefficient (σ0) from the ALOS PALSAR single and dual polarization mode data. The most problem in backscattering simulation was the vegetation water content. Therefore, the water-cloud model using the water index result of optical data applied on the simulated backscatter model for enhancement the backscattering heterogeneity from vegetation water contents due to the mix pixel of vegetation in spars vegetation. At the results the AIEM model overestimated the backscattering simulation, it might be cause of high sensitivity of this model to roughness. The ALOS PALSAR HV polarization mode is more sensitive than the HH mode to vegetation water content. The water-cloud model could improve the result and the correlation function of the samples was increased but, the difficulties were the input the A and B parameters to model. 展开更多

The main objective of this study is to find better classifier of mapping tropical land covers using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery. The data used are Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) 50 m ortho-rectified mosaic data. Training data for forest, herbaceous, agriculture, urban and water body in the test area located in Kalimantan were collected. To achieve more accurate classification, a modified slope correction formula was created to calibrate the intensity distortions of SAR data. The accuracy of two classifiers called Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO) and Random Forest (RF) were applied and compared in this study. We focused on object-based approach due to its capability of providing both spatial and spectral information. Optimal combination of features was selected from 32 sets of features based on layer value, texture and geometry. The overall accuracy of land cover classification using RF classifier and SMO classifier was 46.8% and 55.6% respectively, and that of forest and non-forest classification was 74.4% and 79.4% respectively. This indicates that RF classifier has better performance than SMO classifier. 展开更多

Irrespective of several attempts to land use/cover mapping at local, regional, or global scales, mapping of vegetation physiognomic types is limited and challenging. The main objective of the research is to produce an accurate nationwide vegetation physiognomic map by using automated machine learning approach with the support of reference data. A time-series of the multi-spectral and multi-indices data derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) were exploited along with the land-surface slope data. Reliable reference data of the vegetation physiognomic types were prepared by refining the existing vegetation survey data available in the country. The Random Forests based mapping framework adopted in the research showed high performance (Overall accuracy = 0.82, Kappa coefficient = 0.79) using 148 optimum number of features out of 231 featured used. A nationwide vegetation physiognomic map of year 2013 was produced in the research. The resulted map was compared to the existing MODIS Land Cover Type (MCD12Q1) product of year 2013. A huge difference was found between two maps. Validation with the reference data showed that the MCD12Q1 product did not work satisfactorily in Japan. The outcome of the research highlights the possibility of improving the accuracy of the MCD12Q1 product with special focus on reference data. 展开更多

This paper assesses the changes in forest cover in Yok Don National Park of Vietnam between 2004 and 2010, and the implications of such changes on the biomass stocks of this national park. Remote sensing and GIS tools along with the ground truth data collected from the field were employed for classifying the forest types of the study area from SPOT HRV satellite imagery for years 2004 and 2010. The total area considered in this study is 115.5 thousand ha. Five different categories of forests were identified. The results demonstrated that between 2004 and 2010, the Evergreen broad leaved rich quality forest decreased by 11.2 thousand ha (3.5 Mega tons of biomass) and the Dry open dipterocarps medium quality forest decreased by 15.3 thousand ha (2.5 Mega tons of biomass). In that time period, the Evergreen broad leaved medium quality forest increased by 3.2 thousand ha (0.8 Mega tons of biomass), the Evergreen broad leaved poor quality forest increased by 2.5 thousand ha (0.24 Mega tons of biomass), and the Dry open dipterocarps poor quality forest increased by 3.2 thousand ha (0.69 Mega tons of biomass). Total biomass of the study area decreased by 4.3 Mega tons. 展开更多

Almost every year, there will be snow disasters in north Xinjiang, northwestern China. Since the accumulated heavy snow in winter season will seriously threaten people’s lives, the main object of this study is to produce a potential hazard map for snow avalanche prevention. Taking three snow seasons from November to March of year 2008 to 2010, potential hazard areas were estimated, based on snow volume products and terrain features. Remote sensing (RS) techniques and geographical information system (GIS) based weighted linear combination (WLC) approach were applied, taking into consideration multiple criteria. Snow avalanche risks were analyzed using physical exposure and vulnerability indexes. The analysis indicates that: the areas at high-risk of avalanches are located in the north and south part of the counties of Altay, Bortala and Ili prefectures;the areas at medium-risk of avalanches are found in the certain part of Altay prefecture and Urumqi, Changji, Tacheng prefectures;the avalanche risk is generally low throughout the large area to the certain part of the study area and the region on the border of the eastern north Xinjiang. Overall, the risks of snow avalanche in Altay and Ili prefectures are higher than that other regions;those areas should be allocated correspondingly more salvage materials. 展开更多

In this study, we have performed an analysis between the L-band backscattering intensity derived from the slope corrected ALOS PALSAR remote sensing data and the?in-situ?stand biophysical parameter of Sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) and Hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa) trees at the forests of Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height, and stem volume were statistically compared with the slope corrected sigma naught backscattering in an empirical approach. It was found that the relationship between the backscattering and the stand characteristics was strongly dependent on species showing different trends between the Sugi and Hinoki trees.?The Hinoki trees showed an increasing backscattering with increasing parameters (higher DBH, higher Tree height and higher stem volume), as it was mentioned on various researches, while the Sugi tree showed and decreasing backscattering with increasing parameters. We?have also found for the Sugi trees that the backscattering is affected strongly by the number of stems. We have assumed that this is because of the characteristics of the Sugi trees which have high moisture content in the heartwood of the stem, compared with other tree species in Japan. The results pave the way to the possibility for estimating biophysical parameters within the forests of Japan by considering such trends and at highly rugged areas by using slope corrected imagery of the SAR data. 展开更多

A regional map of mangrove forests was produced for six islands located in the southern part of Japan by integrating the spectral analyses of Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) images with a digital elevation model (DEM). Several attempts were applied to propose a reliable method, which can be used to map the distribution of mangrove forests at a regional scale. The methodology used in this study comprised of obtaining the difference between Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), band ratio 5/4, and band 5, from Landsat ETM+, and integrating them with the topographic information. The integration of spectral analyses with topographic data has clearly separated the mangrove forests from other vegetation. An accuracy assessment was carried out in order to check the accuracy of the results. High overall accuracy ranging from 89.3% to 93.6% was achieved, which increased the opportunity to use this methodology in other countries rich in mangrove forests. 展开更多

The global tree cover percentage is an important parameter used to understand the global environment. However, the available percent tree cover products on global or continental-scale are few, and efforts to quantitatively validate these maps have been limited. We produced a new percent tree cover dataset at 500 m resolution in 2008 for Eurasia using reference data interpreted from Google Earth. It is a part of percent tree cover (PTC) data in Global Mapping project. In this study, the dataset was compared with existing global percent tree cover dataset, MODIS Vegetation Continuous Fields, MOD44B. We assessed the agreement of these datasets with two existing global categorical land cover datasets and statistic data in Eurasia. The result showed that estimates of tree cover in our new map and MOD44B were relatively similar at randomly sampled sites. Our map and MOD44B agreed with either or both of land cover maps at 93% of sites and 91% of sites, respectively, for pixel blocks. However, we found that MOD44B disagreed with our map and categorical land cover datasets at about half of the sampled sites where the difference of tree cover percentage between our map and MOD44B was large, especially in the areas with significant differences (more than 50%). Disagreed areas were concentrated in forests of Russia and Indonesia, and in herbaceous dominated vegetation of UK and Ireland. We also found that both our map and MOD44B were somewhat different from the data reported by FRA 2010. 展开更多

An improved methodology for the extraction and mapping of urban built-up areas at a global scale is presented in this study.The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS)-based multispectral data were combined with the Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite(VIIRS)-based nighttime light(NTL)data for robust extraction and mapping of urban built-up areas.The MODIS-based newly proposed Urban Built-up Index(UBI)was combined with NTL data,and the resulting Enhanced UBI(EUBI)was used as a single master image for global extraction of urban built-up areas.Due to higher variation of the EUBI with respect to geographical regions,a region-specific threshold approach was used to extract urban built-up areas.This research provided 500-m-resolution global urban built-up map of year 2014.The resulted map was compared with three existing moderate-resolution global maps and one high-resolution map in the United States.The comparative analysis demonstrated finer details of the urban built-up cover estimated by the resultant map. 展开更多

Urban areas are of paramount significance to both the individuals and communities at local and regional scales.However,the rapid growth of urban areas exerts effects on climate,biodiversity,hydrology,and natural ecosystems worldwide.Therefore,regular and up-to-date information related to urban extent is necessary to monitor the impacts of urban areas at local,regional,and potentially global scales.This study presents a new urban map of Eurasia at 500 m resolution using multi-source geospatial data,including Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS)data of 2013,population density of 2012,the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s Operational Linescan System(DMSP-OLS)nighttime lights of 2012,and constructed Impervious Surface Area(ISA)data of 2010.The Eurasian urban map was created using the threshold method for these data,combined with references of fine resolution Landsat and Google Earth imagery.The resultant map was compared with nine global urban maps and was validated using random sampling method.Results of the accuracy assessment showed high overall accuracy of the new urban map of 94%.This urban map is one product of the 20 land cover classes of the next version of Global Land Cover by National Mapping Organizations. 展开更多

Characterisation and mapping of land cover/land use within forest areas over long-multitemporal intervals is a complex task.This complexity is mainly due to the location and extent of such areas and,as a consequence,to the lack of full continuous cloud-free coverage of those large regions by one single remote sensing instrument.In order to provide improved long-multitemporal forest change detection using Landsat MSS and ETMin part of Mt.Kenya rainforest,and to develop a model for forest change monitoring,wavelet transforms analysis was tested against the ISOCLUS algorithm for the derivation of changes in natural forest cover,as determined using four simple ratio-based Vegetation Indices:Simple Ratio(SR),Normalised Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI),Renormalised Difference Vegetation Index(RDVI)and modified simple ratio(MSR).Based on statistical and empirical accuracy assessments,RDVI presented the optimal index for the case study.The overall accuracy statistic of the wavelet derived change/no-change was used to rank the performances of the indices as:RDVI(91.68%),MSR(82.55%),NDVI(79.73%)and SR(65.34%).The integrated discrete wavelet transformISOCLUS(DWTISOCLUS)result was 42.65%higher than the independent ISOCLUS approach in mapping the change/no-change information.The methodology suggested in this study presents a cost-effective and practical method to detect land-cover changes in support of decision-making for updating forest databases,and for long-term monitoring of vegetation changes from multisensor imagery.The current research contributes to Digital Earth with regards to geo-data acquisition,data mining and representation of one forest systems. 展开更多
