Remote sensing has the characteristics of multi-temporal, fast dynamic monitoring, and low cost. Either the research method and theory or the results have certain ecological significance and practical value. Especially the information extraction using high-resolution images of SPOT 5 data draws more and more attention by the professionals. In the low-middle resolution images, the detail, texture, and border of mining area ecological environment elements can't be reflected, which brings difficulties for further identification and interpretation. SPOT 5 with visible and near-infrared bands at 10*10m, a shortwave infrared band at 20*20m and a panchromatic band at 2.5*2.5m. Based on the latest SPOT 5 data, this paper extracts and analyzes the information of mining area ecological environment elements by several data fusion methods, such as IHS transform, principal component analysis (PCA) and wavelet fusion. Compared to the original SPOT 5 multispectral image, the tone contrast and definition of the fused images are improved; especially some features are more easily identified, such as vegetation, subsidence area, waste dump, and power plant. Then the fused images are evaluated by four indicators: mean standard deviation, information entropy and average gradient. In conclusion, this paper uses SPOT 5 data and varieties of fusion methods to deal with the mining ecological environment elements, which achieved remarkable results and increased the information extraction precision. This not only provides basic data for evaluation and reclamation of the mining ecological environment but provides technical supports for decision-makers.","PeriodicalId":154334,"journal":{"name":"2009 Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129369736","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}

Then, the paper mainly focuses on the spatio-temporal analysis of land use change and its landscape ecological influence in study area. Some representative indices are chosen for analysis such as patch density, edge density, shape index, diversity index and so on. The results of land use change information show that with time varying, the area of all the six land use types had been changing all the time and the size of change area is not the same during dissimilar periods.

The calculating outcomes of the landscape ecological indices effectively reflect the changes of landscape ecological structure and heterogeneity both at the class and landscape levels. All these analysis and ecological effect index values show land use change has great impact upon the landscape ecological environment and its stabilization in study region. And the landscape ecological effects and problems indicated meanwhile include habitat quality declining, edge effect problem, land degradation, landscape elements simplification and the like. Therefore, reasonable and effective land utilization measures have to be taken or adjusted to improve the landscape ecological environment conditions.","PeriodicalId":154334,"journal":{"name":"2009 Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130685515","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}

To its most abstract form on geometric level, 3D building roofs are regarded as the fundamental elements to present outlines of 3D building models. The emphasis of this study is to demonstrate a novel algorithm of building roof reconstruction, termed CSR (Construct-Shape-Refine). The proposed algorithm aims at reconstructing building roof models purely by employing 3D line features or integrating 3D and 2D line features from existing data. In particular, the latter integration involving fusion from multiple data sources strengthens the reliability as well as the precision of 3D building roofs. The CSR approach is characterized through three stages. Geometric inferences are imposed at the stage of Construct where topological relationship of the 3D line features is established while 3D coordinates of roof corners are adjusted and estimated through Shape processes, apart from compensating the hidden boundaries, if any. The efficiencies of two fusion streams, including fusion of 3D line features that result from different sources or fusing 3D line features with photogrammetric line features, are gained as promoting the building roof quality via Refine workflow. Experiments of the Construct-Shape stages show that the proposed method is independent of building roof types, however constrained in polygons under current consideration, as well as whether 3D line features are complete for both successful and efficient performance of building roof reconstruction on a 3D line feature basis. Moreover, the Refine stage offers more up-to-date and satisfactory building roof reconstruction results as compared to the situation when only one single data set is considered.","PeriodicalId":154334,"journal":{"name":"2009 Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116157884","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}
