This is particularly beneficial in kinematic laser scanning on lightweight aerial platforms, such as drones, which employ direct sensor orientation for the spatial interpretation of laser vectors. In this study, previously reported preliminary results are extended to assess the gain in accuracy of sensor orientation through leveraging all available spatio-temporal constraints in a dynamic network i) with a commercial IMU for drones and ii) with simultaneous processing of raw-observations of several low-quality IMUs. Additionally, we evaluate the influence of different types of spatial constraints (image 2D and point-cloud 3D tie-points) and flight geometries (with and without a cross flight line). We present the newly implemented estimation of confidence levels and compare those with the observed residual errors. The empirical evidence demonstrates that the use of spatial constraints increases the attitude accuracy of the derived trajectory by a factor of 2–3, both for the commercial and low-quality IMUs, while at the same time reducing the dispersion of geo-referencing errors, resulting in a considerably more precise and self-coherent geo-referenced point-cloud. We further demonstrate that the use of image constraints (additionally to lidar constraints) stabilizes the in-flight lidar boresight estimation by a factor of 3–10, establishing the feasibility of such estimation even in the absence of special calibration patterns or calibration targets.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100730,"journal":{"name":"ISPRS Open Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100057"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667393223000285/pdfft?md5=0f7ab041b690c142ba3b35d6019ecf11&pid=1-s2.0-S2667393223000285-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139632413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Permanent Laser Scanning (PLS) is a successful technique to not only observe notably sandy coasts incidentally or once every year, but (nearly) continuously over extended periods of time. The collected point cloud observations form a 4D point cloud data set representing the evolution of the coast provide the opportunity to assess change processes at high level of detail. For an exemplary location in Noordwijk, The Netherlands, three years of hourly point clouds were acquired on a 1 km long section of a typical Dutch urban sandy beach. Often, the so-called level of detection is used to assess point cloud differences from two epochs. To explicitly incorporate the temporal dimension of the height estimates from the point cloud data set, we revisit statistical testing theory. We apply multiple hypothesis testing on elevation time series in order to identify different coastal processes, like aeolian sand transport or bulldozer works. We then estimate the minimal detectable bias for different alternative hypotheses, to quantify the minimal elevation change that can be estimated from the PLS observations over a certain period of time. Additionally, we analyse potential error sources and influences on the elevation estimations and provide orders of magnitudes and possible ways to deal with them. Finally we conclude that elevation time series from a long term PLS data set are a suitable input to identify aeolian sand transport with the help of multiple hypothesis testing. In our example case, slopes of 0.032 m/day and sudden changes of 0.031 m can be identified with statistical power of 80% and with 95% significance in 24-h time series on the upper beach.

A secondary goal of the mission is to provide vegetation and terrain elevations, which are essential for calculating the planet's biomass carbon reserves. A drawback of ATLAS is that the sensor does not provide reliable terrain height estimates in dense, high-closure forests because only a few photons reach the ground through the canopy and return to the detector. This low penetration translates into lower accuracy for the resultant terrain model. Tropical forest measurements with ATLAS have an additional problem estimating top of canopy because of frequent atmospheric phenomena such as fog and low clouds that can be misinterpreted as top of the canopy. To alleviate these issues, we propose using a ConvPoint neural network for 3D point clouds and high-density airborne lidar as training data to classify vegetation and terrain returns from ATLAS. The semantic segmentation network provides excellent results and could be used in parallel with the current ATL08 noise filtering algorithms, especially in areas with dense vegetation. We use high-density airborne lidar data acquired along ICESat-2 transects in Central American forests as a ground reference for training the neural network to distinguish between noise photons and photons lying between the terrain and the top of the canopy. Each photon event receives a label (noise or signal) in the test phase, providing automated noise-filtering of the ATL03 data. The terrain and top of canopy elevations are subsequently aggregated in 100 m segments using a series of iterative smoothing filters. We demonstrate improved estimates for both terrain and top of canopy elevations compared to the ATL08 100 m segment estimates. The neural network (NN) noise filtering reliably eliminated outlier top of canopy estimates caused by low clouds, and aggregated root mean square error (RMSE) decreased from 7.7 m for ATL08 to 3.7 m for NN prediction (18 test profiles aggregated). For terrain elevations, RMSE decreased from 5.2 m for ATL08 to 3.3 m for the NN prediction, compared to airborne lidar reference profiles.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100730,"journal":{"name":"ISPRS Open Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100053"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667393223000248/pdfft?md5=90f41b323182f63f9bad036a38f7b9ea&pid=1-s2.0-S2667393223000248-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138621053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the high temporal resolution offered by UAV platforms, critical for identifying small differences in crop conditions, is rarely exploited throughout the entire growing season. This limits growers' ability to obtain timely information for real-time interventions. New findings support that it is possible to parametrize an entire crop growth cycle under different conditions by accumulating sufficient data over time and using logistic growth models to highlight growth patterns. A step forward would be to model crop growth cycle at the plant-level in order to anticipate the optimal harvest dates in each plot or quickly identify growth problematics. Individual plant monitoring can be achieved by combining high spatial resolution images with accurate segmentation algorithms. The main objective of the study was therefore to develop and validate an integrated pipeline based on multidimensional data to extract predictive growth metrics for crop monitoring at the plant-level under various field conditions. The plant growth monitoring workflow was based on a three-step design ultimately leading to decision-making and reporting. Lettuce (<em>Lactuca sativa</em> L.) was chosen as a model plant due to its simple geometry, rapid growth and simple cultivation method. Treatments were composed of contrasting cover crops. Overall, correlation analysis showed that UAV-derived morphological metrics are reliable proxies for harvested biomass throughout the growing season, especially in later stages (Spearman's ρ > 0.9) and can be used as growth indicators. Therefore, Logistic Growth Curves (LGCs) were fitted to Crop Object Area (COA) values for each individual lettuce, using data up to 26 (generating G<sub>26</sub> LGCs), 30 (G<sub>30</sub>) and 37 (G<sub>37</sub>) Days After Transplant (DAT). To assess the quality of their projections, G<sub>26</sub> and G<sub>30</sub> were compared to the reference LGC G<sub>37</sub>. The results indicated that Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of projected COA was 9.6% and 6.8% for G<sub>26</sub> and G<sub>30</sub> respectively. Overall, the LGC parameters were close to the reference and highly correlated with the harvested biomass. The study also demonstrated the potential of having very good insight on plant maturity level by modeling the LGC 13 days before harvest. Furthermore, a dashboard was proposed to monitor current and projected maturity level, highlighting areas for further investigation. This novel integrated pipeline has the potential to become a valuable tool for research, on-farm decision making, and field interventions by providing data on plant biomass, maturity, and growth stages under different conditions, used as crop growth indicators.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100730,"journal":{"name":"ISPRS Open Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100052"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667393223000236/pdfft?md5=d5a0738ff9505d3deb1b9b7a25a6d55e&pid=1-s2.0-S2667393223000236-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138549946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, soil erosion modelers often rely on vegetation-index-based regressions to directly estimate the cover and management factor (C-factor) of the USLE from satellite images. Since this approach is based on a single or very few images, it does not characterize the seasonality of the crop cover or reflect the seasonality of the rainfall erosivity. Here, we evaluated five vegetation indices (NDVI, NDRE, SFDVI, ViGREEN, and MGRVI) in predicting SLRs and the C-factor for a sugarcane plot in Southeast Brazil. We used Sentinel-2 images and orthomosaics obtained by UAV surveys performed at the middle of each phenological stage. We compared the estimates of the C-factor based on the SLRs and rainfall erosivity against direct regressions from the literature. Our results confirmed the expected poor correlation between the C-factor and the vegetation indices. On the other hand, using the proposed vegetation indices proved to be a reliable alternative to predict the SLR in sugarcane areas, especially the NDVI, the NDRE, and MGRVI.

While there are numerous large-scale benchmark datasets for training and evaluating machine learning models for the analysis of optical data, the availability of labeled SAR or, more specifically, Pol-InSAR data is very limited. The lack of labeled data for training, as well as for testing and comparing different approaches, hinders the rapid development of machine learning algorithms for Pol-InSAR image analysis.

The dataset consists of Pol-InSAR data acquired in S- and L-band by DLR's airborne F-SAR system over the East Frisian island Baltrum. The interferometric image pairs are the result of a repeat-pass measurement with a time offset of several minutes. The image data are given as 6 × 6 coherency matrices in ground range on a 1 m × 1m grid.
