Accurately water mapping is of great significance to the ecological environment monitoring of the Miyun Reservoir and the management of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. On the 60th anniversary of the completion of the Miyun Reservoir, we took the Miyun Reservoir as the study area and collected all the Landsat-5 and Landsat-8 remote sensing images from 1984 to 2020 for water mapping. Based on the spectral, topographical and temporal-spatial characteristics of water, we proposed an automated method for long-term researvoir mapping, which can solve the problems caused by cloud, shadow, ice and snow pixels. Moreover, it can also deal with 'the same objects with different spectra' and spectral mixed problems. The overall accuracy is as high as 98.2% for the case with no cloud or snow/ice cover. The landscape division index is introduced to analyze the morphological changes of Miyun Reservoir. Based on the mapping results, we analyzed the changes of Miyun Reservoir from 1984 to 2020 and the driving factors of them.","PeriodicalId":217329,"journal":{"name":"National Remote Sensing Bulletin","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121971111","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}

Based on the fact that the iceberg can cast elongated shadow on the surface of sea ice in winter, this paper proposes a method to measure the iceberg freeboard using shadow length and the predefined or estimated solar elevation angle. Three Landsat-8 panchromatic images are selected to test our method, with center solar elevation angle of respectively 5.43°, 7.49°and 11.01° on August 29, September 7, and 16 September in 2016. Shadow lengths of five isolated tabular icebergs are automatically extracted to calculate the freeboard height. For the accuracy assessment, we use the matching points at the different time as cross validation. The results show that the measurement error of shadow length is less than one pixel. When the sun elevation angle is lower than 11.01°, the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of the iceberg freeboard from the panchromatic 15 m image is less than 2.0 m, and the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) is less than 1.5 m. Such experiment shows that: under the angle of low solar elevation in winter, the landsat-8 panchromatic 15 m image can be used for high-precision measurement of the iceberg freeboard, and has the potential to measure the Antarctic iceberg freeboard in large scale.</p><p><strong>Key </strong><strong>words:</strong> Antarctic, icebergs, freeboard, shadow altimetry, Landsat-8</p><p> </p>\u0000","PeriodicalId":217329,"journal":{"name":"National Remote Sensing Bulletin","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129864369","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}

In recent years, the common semantic segmentation methods that are based on Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN) have realised the pixel-to-pixel image semantic segmentation. They can avoid the problems of artificial design and selection of features in traditional image semantic segmentation methods. As a result of the pooling operation and lack of context information, the detailed information of images is neglected, the precision of the final image semantic segmentation result is low and the segmentation edge is inaccurate. Therefore, this study proposes a semantic segmentation method for remote sensing image on the basis of Deep Fusion Networks(DFN) combined with a conditional random field model.The method initially builds a DFN model in a Fully Convolutional Network(FCN) framework with a deconvolutional fusion structure.On the one hand, the multiscale features can be extracted through the deep networks, which can avoid the artificial design and selection of features to improve the generalisation ability of the model. On the other hand, the multiscale information is used in the model with the help of the deconvolutional fusion structure. The processing accuracy of the model is also improved by fusing the shallow detail information and deep semantic information. Fundamentally, the fully connected conditional random field is introduced to supplement the spatial context information towards precisely locating the boundary and obtaining final semantic segmentation results.From this study, we can draw the following conclusions:(1)With the increase in the depth of the fusion layer, detailed information becomes abundant, the semantic segmentation results become refined and the edge contour becomes close to the label image;(2) The fully connected conditional random field model synthesises the global and local information of the remote sensing image and further improves the efficiency and accuracy of the final semantic segmentation results.","PeriodicalId":217329,"journal":{"name":"National Remote Sensing Bulletin","volume":"365 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132358188","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}

In order to use the simulated brightness temperature as a reference for the MWRI observations, the basic atmospheric parameters of T639 was transformed into radiance space using a radiative transfer model known as RTTOV. And the data were screened for cloud before analysing O-B(observation minus simulation),using only data over ocean(since the estimates of surface emissivity and skin temperature tend to be more accurate over ocean) between 60 ◦ N and 60 ◦ S (to avoid including data over sea-ice), the FY-3C O-B show a clear bias difference between the ascending and descending orbits, the magnitude of this ascending –descending bias is approximately 2 K for all channels, restricting its operational application in NWP data assimilation systems. By analyzing the calibration equation, we found that the hot load and cold sky reflector is not a perfect reflector due to surface roughness in the reflector coating, the reflector is heated periodically by incident solar radiation and emits a variable radiation with space and time, then caused this ascending –descending bias. An estimate of the reflector emissivity in the prelaunch phase was not explored, so a methodology is developed to assess the antenna emission using the principle that the difference between the O-B of ascending and descending orbits to be minimum, and we find that the emissivity of the hot load and cold sky reflector is estimated to be about 0.03. The results show that bias difference between the ascending and descending orbits reduced from 2K to less than 0.5K, indicated that the research direction to estimate the emissivity is feasible and provided the condition for direct assimilation of MWRI radiance data.","PeriodicalId":217329,"journal":{"name":"National Remote Sensing Bulletin","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122201133","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}

Eberswalde Crater, a hotspot of Mars exploration, possesses an unambiguous hydrological system. However, little research has been performed on the large-scale mineral abundances retrieval in this region. Hence, we employed hyperspectral unmixing technology to quantitatively retrieve mineral abundances of the delta region in Eberswalde. In this paper, the single-scattering albedos were calculated by the Hapke bidirectional reflectance function from Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) data (FRT000060DD) and CRISM spectral library respectively, and a sparse unmixing algorithm was adopted to quantitatively retrieve mineral abundances. The abundance maps show that there are six kinds of minerals (pyroxene, olivine, plagioclase, siderite, diaspore, and tremolite). By comparing minerals spectra obtained from images with corresponding spectra in spectral library, we found the similar trend in both curves. Besides, the mineral abundance maps derived in this study agree well spatially with CRISM parameter maps. From the perspective of mineralogy, the instability of pyroxene and olivine indicates the area in which they distribute is close to provenance, and the original provenance is ultrabasic rock (e.g. peridotite) and basic rock (e.g. gabbro), respectively. And minerals, existing in the area of alluvial fan, also distribute in the outside of alluvial fan, which might be caused by fluid transportation.","PeriodicalId":217329,"journal":{"name":"National Remote Sensing Bulletin","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128829889","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}

It is urgently demanded to assess the status of regional ecological environment quality degradation and o find out potential environmental degradation area.In this paper the vegetation, soil brightness, moisture and heat indices are extracted and evaluated from multi-band and multi-time TM and MSS remote sensing data to describe ecosystem status. An ecological environment quality evaluation model is built from these indices, climate data (air temperature, precipitation, evaporation and relative moisture) and other geographical auxiliary information (geomorphologic types, terrain elevation and land use information, etc.), on the support of GIS. The ecological environment change during 2 decades (from 1976,1987 to 1996)of middle and western Inner-Mongolia region is evaluated using this model. The ecological environment quality degradation of this region is analyzed from the aspects of average regional ecological environment quality index change, the area change of each ecological environment quality index, and from sample band analysis. Finally, this paper also analyzes the change of climate factors and the effect of these changes on ecological environment quality change quantitatively.Through correlation analysis of ecological environment quality change and climate factor change, this paper concludes that the climate changes are the major reason that leads to ecological environment degradation. By calculation of the correlation between ecological environment quality change and change of precipitation, evaporation and moisture, which is the combination of the former two factors, this paper puts forward that the major climate factor that affects ecological environment changes in semi-arid region is moisture. During the 20 years, the effect of human behavior increases a lot. Meanwhile this research also proves that the methodology used in this paper is effective.","PeriodicalId":217329,"journal":{"name":"National Remote Sensing Bulletin","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129599136","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}
