The latter is a phenomenon that occurs in conjunction with seismic events of a magnitude generally higher than 5.5–6.0 and which affects loose sandy soils located below the water table level. The methodology consists of two steps: first the spatial distributions of soil liquefaction is estimated using a constant false alarm rate method applied to the SPAN metric, namely the total power associated with the measured polarimetric channels, which is ingested into a bitemporal approach to sort out dark areas not genuine. Second, the obtained masks are read in terms of the physical scattering mechanisms using a child parameter stemming from the eigendecomposition of the covariance matrix—namely the degree of polarization. The latter is evaluated using the coseismic scenes and contrasted with the preseismic one to have rough information on the time-variability of the scattering mechanisms occurred in the area affected by soil liquefaction. Finally, the obtained maps are qualitatively contrasted against state-of-the-art optical and interferometric SAR methodologies.

However, it is significantly degrading due to human activities and natural disasters, making it essential to monitor both urban greenery and the overall urban environment. Recent advancements in remote sensing and deep learning technologies have led to the development of semantic change detection (SCD) techniques, which offer more detailed analysis than binary change detection. Detecting changes in natural greenery within urban environments using general SCD techniques is challenging due to the similar spectral characteristics of natural and artificial greenery. Therefore, this study proposes a direct SCD approach focusing on urban green spaces and nongreenery-related changes. This approach distinguishes between new and degraded greenery regions and categorizes them into distinct classes alongside nongreenery changes. Key innovations include the integration of atrous spatial pyramid pooling and an updated spatial attention module, enhancing the network's ability to capture objects of varying shapes and sizes within urban settings. The methodology was evaluated using two open-source datasets, SEmantic Change detectiON Dataset (SECOND) and Wuhan urban sematic understanding (WUSU), customized to emphasize urban greenery changes. Results demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms the existing SCD techniques in accurately detecting and categorizing new and degraded greenery regions alongside overall urban changes. The proposed method achieved superior performance in terms of separated kappa, reaching 17.72% on the SECOND dataset and 36.18% on the WUSU dataset. This study addresses the limitations of current methods in monitoring urban greenery, providing an efficient tool for assessing the impact of urbanization and natural disasters on urban greenery and the broader urban environment.","PeriodicalId":13116,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing","volume":"18 ","pages":"1841-1852"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10778191","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142844383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, an enhanced SAR imaging framework that combines along-track multiple channels is proposed using a low-rank tensor-train (TT) decomposition method, which is applicable for a co-located multiple input multiple output (MIMO) array or a phased-transmitting-digital-receiving array. First, the multichannel images are stacked into a tensor form after SAR imaging on individual channels and spatial variant array phase correction for each pixel. Then, the low-rank property of tensor stack is exploited and the TT model is utilized to find the redundancy and leverage the intrinsic structure of image stack. In addition, ket augmentation is introduced to exhibit the local data structure more clearly than the original tensor under TT decomposition. Finally, tensor-train nuclear norm is used to relax the NP-hard problem with low-rank constraint and the minimization problem is solved in the framework of alternating direction method of multipliers for enhanced imaging. The proposed algorithm can effectively improve the working distance and image quality of mmWave SAR. Numerical experiments using simulated data of MIMO SAR and measured data collected by a ground-based phased-transmitting-digital-receiving array system are carried out to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":13116,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing","volume":"18 ","pages":"1551-1561"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10776754","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142844568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current detection algorithm for subpixel target detection based on neural networks uses a single-layer neural network and stochastic gradient descent method with variable stepsize to solve the optimization problem. The objective of this paper is to improve the current algorithm by developing a detection algorithm for subpixel target detection based on a multilayer neural network and stochastic gradient descent method with variable stepsize. The decision boundary is linear for the single-layer neural network and nonlinear for the multi-layer neural network.

Automated mapping is crucial in several agricultural applications, including crop wear assessment and yield forecasting. The high-resolution multispectral optical data can deliver essential spatial-spectral characteristics; however, these are typically impeded by unfavorable weather and obstructions, resulting in poor classification. Recent advancements in multisensor data fusion techniques have focused on integrating optical data with auxiliary synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data to mitigate misclassification issues. However, current optical-SAR fusion techniques have yet to effectively address the incorporation of spatial-spectral characteristics with long-term temporal dependencies of satellite image time series (SITS). This article proposes an optical-SAR deep fusion framework, STA-AgriNet, that integrates a U-Net encoder–decoder with spatial-temporal attention frameworks to enable superior extraction of long-term spatial-temporal dependencies for reliable crop-type mapping. The spectral spatial feature mapper (SSFM), mixed parallel spatial attention (MPSA), and spatio-temporal attention mapper (STAM) modules of the STA-AgriNet extract key classification-defining, discriminative patterns for semantic segmentation. The STA-AgriNet framework is evaluated against current state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods and demonstrates superior performance across multiple metrics, achieving an accuracy of 83.61% with a minimal inference time of 10.09 s and a compact parameter count of 0.97 million.

Most existing pansharpening methods either separately extract feature information from MS and PAN images or extract feature information after concatenating MS and PAN images, lacking the utilization of complementary information throughout the feature extraction process. Motivated by the advancements in optimization algorithm and the state space model, we introduce a convolutional dictionary learning with state space model for pansharpeningin this article. Our network comprises two parts: the encoder and the decoder. In the encoder part, we begin by building an observation model to capture the common and unique information between MS and PAN images. Subsequently, we continuously iterate and optimize the network parameters using the approximate gradient algorithm. Meanwhile, we utilize the powerful long-range dependence modeling capability of the SSM to comprehensively extract feature information from the images. In the decoder part, we propose both a detail enhancement block and an adaptive weight learning block to strengthen the model's ability to extract detailed feature information from the images.
