One of the EEAs, automatic target generation process (ATGP), works by iterative orthogonal projections of the data then finding the largest magnitude vector of this projection, and it will stop until reaches a predefined number of endmembers. This paper proposes an updated version of ATGP by making improvements on two aspects of the method. First, spectral and spatial redundancies are removed, and only a group of candidate endmember pixels will be processed by ATGP. Second, after an endmember pixel is found using orthogonal projection, this pixel will be used to divide the group of candidate endmember pixels into a smaller group and a cluster using similarity measure. Furthermore, a threshold criterion is set to evaluate the quantity of the cluster, which avoids the found pixel is an interfering pixel. A comparative study and the obtained experimental results show that the improved ATGP algorithm not only reduces computational complexity but also provides better performance than the four well-known published algorithms.","PeriodicalId":371399,"journal":{"name":"2015 23rd International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130743739","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 this paper, we propose an indoor positioning method by locating the representation of a cluster within similar environments. The K-Means algorithm is used to extract the similarities of the objects within the nearby area. To overcome the problem of parameter determination under the circumstances of lack of fingerprint and extra hardware, we proposed a Log-normal shadowing model (LNSM) with Artificial Neural Networks to estimate distance enabling the parameters to be dynamically adjusted according to the change of the environment.

To solve this problem, the spatial aggregation of the catergories data is necessary. Current spatial aggregations approaches can generally divided into two classes, i.e. majority rule-based aggregation and random rule-based aggregation. This study aims to evaluate these two methods for the effective of the spatial aggregation for GlobeLand30 data with consideration of some measures, i.e. Cover type Proportion, Perimeter-Area Fractal Dimension (PAFRAC), Aggregation Index (AI), and Landscape Shape Index (LSI). The result demonstrated that random rule-based aggregation maintains land cover diversity and category proportion, but landscape pattern can lead to disaggregated which reflected from PLAND and AI indexs scalogram.

Analysis of these concerns requires the assessment of the Land use and land cover dynamics of the area. Geographic information systems and satellite remote sensing information are latest technologies in land-cover change assessment. Their strengths lie in providing insights into land-cover change properties through the use of spatio-temporal and multi spectral data. Landsat satellite imageries of three different time periods, i.e., 1990, 2000 and 2014 were used to quantify the land use and land cover changes in the area. Supervised classification using Maximum Likelihood technique was used resulting in the classes: Water, Open Savannah and Closed savannah woodlands, Agricultural/Fallow Land, Settlement and bare lands. A post-classification change detection method was employed and a LULC change matrix obtained. The study shows that between the years 1991 and 2000 the changes in the LULC changes were not as significant as in the years between 2000 and 2014. There was a decrease in Water and closed Savannah woodlands although Open Savannah has increased marginally. The felling of trees for fuel wood is also depleting the closed Savannah wood lot. Agriculture has increased especially along the Black Volta River. Settlements/bare areas may have decreased probably due to the clamp down of illegal mining activities and easy access to markets along the North Eastern part close to the District Capital, Nadowli.","PeriodicalId":371399,"journal":{"name":"2015 23rd International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127415974","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}

The natural disasters typhoon, cold disaster, drought, and so on, have great influences on agricultural production in Guangdong Province, China. Through literature analysis at home and abroad, it was pointed out that Chinese HJ satellites have become important sources of remote sensing images due to short imaging period and broad coverage (about 2 days and 700km). It also advances the free sharing of OLI data on the new generation of remote sensor of Landsat. Considering the severe orbit deviation and frequent phenology changes of agricultural land use, this paper described and laid emphasis on the necessity and perspective of developing multi-scale (1:500,000, 1:20,000, 1:50,000) agricultural land use products of Provincial-City-County within Guangdong through the usage of relatively fixed ground control point database and spectral library based advanced hierarchical classification technologies supported by HJ satellite data. Such a tendency of quick disaster emergency response for land use dynamic implies a technological focus on the usage of above-mentioned advanced HJ satellite technologies. Based on Landsat images, we also built the 11 united ground control points (40 points at most for whole Guangdong Province) and standardized the technology system of land use remote sensing mapping with the combination of spectral library-based hierarchy classification technology. Selected key technologies for enhancing land use production mapping efficiency and accuracy that involve Landsat OLI and HJ satellites are presented and discussed. The HJ satellite is an effective information source for land use dynamic mapping under emergency action such as disaster damage evaluation, which can provide a short imaging period with wide spatial coverage and enhance the ability of land use data acquirement from one to three or four times or so in one year. The building of relatively fixed ground control points increase the efficiency of province-level land use mapping from one week to two days. The proposed method is especially useful for the development of land use products in cloudy and rainy south China.","PeriodicalId":371399,"journal":{"name":"2015 23rd International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115771090","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 permits Binchuan, which for nearly 20 years, has always been committed to the city and rural development. The most obvious conversion land use types were unused land and cultivated land, with cultivated land showing a clear decreasing trend, and majority of conversions were to rural and mining residential land, and unused land mostly converted to grassland and rural and mining residential land. For woodland, it experienced an initial increase, then decrease, and then finally increased procedure. However the increase of woodland area is not large (it remained in stable condition), and this proved Binchuan has an emphasis on the protection of forest resources.
