In this article, we proposed a convenient modeling method based on double-layer regular grid data (elevation grid and thickness grid), and developed a less redundant triangulation algorithm on the basis of a 3D irregular hexahedron. This grid-based molding fit the features of coal seam and general data producing approaches, boreholes interpolating and geophysical prospecting. The core of the algorithm is a virtual irregular hexahedron, whose bottom face is created by elevation grid and top face comes from an elevation grid plus corresponding thickness grid. The author summed up 5 different types of hexahedron for representing different situations in real coal seam and being as checking conditions to make sure integrity of the algorithm. Special areas in grid, where the values are invalid digital, express the collapse columns and outside areas in coal seam. Based on the layout of valid points in a hexahedron and the location of a grid data block in a coal seam, an iterating algorithm using hexahedral cell has been proposed, that dynamically fetch the 3D grid data from database only once in every real-time rendering. Each face of hexahedral cell is subdivided into seamless triangles in different approach according to the location of valid points. This paper concludes that the model combines the advantage of easy rendering by triangles and high accessibility of grid data; the algorithm can efficiently solve the problem of model reconstruction caused by database update with less redundancy.","PeriodicalId":132133,"journal":{"name":"2012 Second International Workshop on Earth Observation and Remote Sensing Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130152416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, ground points were extracted from the LIDAR data and resampled to build DEM and DSM, and then derived nDSM by subtracting DEM from DSM. Secondly, the intensity information derived from LiDAR data was processed to be distributed evenly, and then generated an intensity clustering image, which classified LiDAR points into two basic clusters. Finally, add nDSM and intensity clustering images to QuickBird image as two extra bands, and then we can extract vegetation information, roads, and buildings using their height, intensity and spectral information. The results showed that the method combined airborne LIDAR-derived metrics and QuickBird multispectral data has higher classification accuracy.

The interior orientation parameters are obtained from the camera calibration files. Due to existence of error in the exterior orientation parameters, bundle adjustment (BA) is carried out to remove the geometric inconsistencies. After BA, the object points calculated with the adjusted EO parameters are back projected onto the image plane and compared with the original observation.

The NPP of the study area decreases with the spatial scale expanding; The average NPP of terrestrial vegetation in Xuzhou shows decreasing trend in recent years because of the changes in climate and environment; The whole study area was plotted out four sub-regions, which were NPP higher sub-region, NPP high sub-region, NPP low sub-region and NPP lower sub-region. The average NPP of every sub-region was decreasing and the area percentage of lower sub-region was increasing with the scale expanding, so the NPP structure is various in different spatial scales.

Urban expanding intensity and impacts on eco-environment were quantitatively measured by Annual Urban Growth Rate (AGR) and reduction of ecosystem service value. Comparison was applied among different regions and administrator-tiers. The results showed that all cities experienced two expanding peaks in early 1990s and early 21st century. Cities in central China had a higher peak in early 21st century while the higher peak occurred in early 1990s for cities in southern China. National economic development strategy was the main cause leading to these differences. For impacts on eco-environment, urban expanding caused a significant reduction on ecosystem service value, and the mean value was region dependent, while changing tendency was administratortier dependent. A decreasing trend of reduction on ecosystem service value was observed in most provincial capital cities, while an increasing trend showed in those prefecture-level cities. The research is instructional and meaningful for city development and urban planning in central and southern China.","PeriodicalId":132133,"journal":{"name":"2012 Second International Workshop on Earth Observation and Remote Sensing Applications","volume":"282 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130211642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Land-cover maps of woodland, cropland, orchard, built-up, water, and barren from 1986, 1996, 2002, 2007, 2010 were produced using a combination of unsupervised classification and spatial reclassification based on manual on-screen digitizing. Intensity analysis was then used to identify the dominant and systematic transitions. C fluxes from land change over three decades of imagery were estimated from the transitions among woodland, cropland, built and orchard for each time period. C accumulation and losses from terrestrial biomass are derived from observed changes in land cover. The ecological method used in this study considered that the amount of C emitted to the atmosphere is a function of the amount of C stored in terrestrial vegetation and the areal extent of each land-use category, combined with key terms of biomass, annual carbon gain, and burning efficiency. The results indicate that the trend of LUCC in Jiulong River watershed can produce a considerable potential of function as an important Carbon sink in south-eastern China, the net amount of carbon stored can be 4.50×104 t, 1.86×105 t, 9.21×105 t, 1.35×105 t for 1986–1996, 1996–2002, 2002–2007, and 2007–2010, respectively.

Study on NPP and soil carbon stock in regional scale, it can not only reduce the uncertainty in large spatial scale, but also provide substantial data for the study. The influences of intensive NPP on regional soil carbon stock in typical sensitive area are the key point for regional researches, especially for the typical coal mining area of Xuzhou. In this experiment, the NPP was increasing from 1997 to 2003 due to the environmental protection and vegetation coverage increasing in the study area. The woodland increased year by year because of the new governmental laws. The emission of SOC and O2 varied with the NPP in the same spatiotemporal dynamic evolution. They were also increasing from 1997 to 2003. The flux of SOC increased rapidly with the development of economy. The aggregation of SOC reached the highest in 2003, so diversity index was continually increased and the ecosystem of mining area is turning to the diversification and homogenization.","PeriodicalId":132133,"journal":{"name":"2012 Second International Workshop on Earth Observation and Remote Sensing Applications","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126231625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
