The main contributions of this method include a triangular cluster - based algorithm for rooftop patch segmentation and a strategy to extract ridge lines of rooftop patches by the integration of LiDAR data and orthophoto. The process consists of a consequence of three steps. Firstly, a Delaunay triangular network is constructed from LiDAR data and a triangular cluster - based segmentation is executed to separate rooftop patches from this triangular network. Ridge lines of rooftops are then extracted by overlaying the extracted lines from orthophoto and the segmented rooftop patches. Finally, 3D rooftop models are reconstructed with the segmented rooftop patches and the extracted ridge lines. The experiment demonstrates that this proposed method can construct 3D building rooftop models with high correctness, completeness and geometric accuracy. For the reconstructed 3D rooftop models in test area 1 and 2, the correctness are 86%, 90%, respectively; the completeness are 85%, 88%, respectively; the positioning precision are 0.39m, 0.31m, respectively.","PeriodicalId":259976,"journal":{"name":"2012 20th International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125931727","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}

Instead of Freeman-Durden decomposition, the new approach applies Barnes-Holm decomposition to label each pixel by dominant scattering mechanism as single point target scattering or distributed target scattering, and then a simplified Cameron classification scheme is used to separate the point target scattering dominated pixels into two dominant scattering categories: trihedral and dihedral. Then as the SMB filter, the unsupervised Wishart classification is applied to determine the adaptive neighborhood. At last, only the “N-target” component is involved in the filtering step, while the pure single target component is preserved. By experiment on San Francisco multi-look TerraSAR-X PolSAR data, it is illustrated that the new method performs better than SMB filter in pixel dominant scattering mechanism labeling and preservation of point target polarimetric properties.","PeriodicalId":259976,"journal":{"name":"2012 20th International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132824378","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}

This paper explores the utility of MERSI in drought monitoring through a case study in Hunan Province of China in May, 2011. Feature space of LST and NDVI are established and three indices including TVDI (Temperature Vegetation Dryness Index), VTCI (Vegetation Temperature Condition Index) and VSWI (Vegetation Supply Water Index) are extracted to provide spatial information on drought. Correlation analysis is carried out between the three indices and soil moisture data collected from meteorological stations. MODIS data are processed in the same way to provide a benchmark for MERSI performance evaluation. Results indicate that TVDI and VTCI are more correlated with top soil moisture. VSWI is inferior to TVDI and VTCI probably due to its sensitivity to topography and land cover type. Although correlation coefficients between MODIS-derived indices and soil moisture are a little higher than MERSI-derived indices, MERSI is able to show more rich spatial details due to its high spatial resolution. The case study demonstrates that MERSI data quality is adequate for drought monitoring and it is worthwhile to apply MERSI data to more wide applications.","PeriodicalId":259976,"journal":{"name":"2012 20th International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"12 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116633868","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}

With consideration that the object location uncertainty introduces the reference category uncertainty and may lead to the bias of thematic map accuracy assessment result, a novel fuzzy OCM construction method is proposed to more accurately assess the classification accuracy. On the other hand, a simple sample data collection strategy is proposed and validated to collect representative accuracy assessment samples.
