There has been an urgent need for establishing automatic and accurate registration techniques of UAV remote sensing imagery. High-precision image registration will enhance the reliability of the investigation. As the Yellow River is very wide, it is very difficult to find enough Ground Control Points (GCP) and the limited GCPs are usually distributed unevenly. Therefore, the traditional point-based image registration approach cannot satisfy the requirements of imagery registration. However, the river basin contains linear features richly. This paper proposes a line-based registration approach for UAV remote sensing imagery of the wide-spanning river basin. This method regards the segment straight line as the registration primitives. After detect the primitives of input images, we estimate the parameters of transformation model between reference-image and registering-image with Modified Iterated Hough Transform (MIHT). Experiments using the UAV imagery of Ning-Meng section of Yellow River conclude that this is a robust method for registration for UAV remote sensing imagery of wide-spanning river basin.","PeriodicalId":413886,"journal":{"name":"2011 19th International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121420821","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 Common Infrastructure (GCI) is a geospatial cyberinfrastructure to facilitate the easy discovery, access, and utilization of Earth observation data, information, tools and services through standardized metadata (ISO 19139). The GEOSS Clearinghouse is the engine that drives the entire GCI. It provides a search capability against existing catalogues from GEO members and participating organizations, highlights the range of functionality possible, and creates a basis for a more persistent operational capability. The Center for Intelligent Spatial Computing at George Mason University (CISC) worked with the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) to research and develop such a clearinghouse and was later selected by GEO as the GEOSS clearinghouse. By Mar.3, 2011, 29 catalogs with 110 K metadata had been registered/harvested into the clearinghouse. A high performance based on Lucene and GeoTools search engine is integrated in the clearinghouse. All the metadata are converted into ISO 19139 and stored in the GEOSS clearinghouse database in the harvest process. Based on ISO 19139 template, text in each field can be easily parsed for text index with Lucene, and also spatial bounding box can be easily gotten for spatial index with GeoTools. With the integration of Lucene and GeoTools, both local and remote users can search against the hundreds of thousands of metadata to receive response in less than 2 second.","PeriodicalId":413886,"journal":{"name":"2011 19th International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116481709","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}

As incremental items are only a few of the totals, they save the time on fetching and processing changed items. The whole harvest process is mainly composed of three steps. Firstly, retrieve time and incremental items from remote server. Secondly, processing fetched items with UUID. Finally, post updates and log the harvest time obtained from step 1. The model is implemented by extending CSW protocol and GeoNetwork. The experiment of comparing the time cost by incremental harvesting model and overall harvesting model shows that incremental harvesting model is much more efficient and applicable.","PeriodicalId":413886,"journal":{"name":"2011 19th International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125953097","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 results showed that the average annual NPP per square meter was about 0.518 kg C in Yangtze River Basin. The high NPP levels were mainly distributed in the southeast area of Sichuan, and the highest value reached 1.05 kg C/m2. The NPP increased based on the simulated temporal trends. The spatiotemporal variability of the NPP in the vegetation types was obvious, and it was depended on the climate and soil condition.

Because of the complexity of spatial data, a traditional method in extracting spatial association rules is to transform spatial database into general transaction database. The Apriori algorithm is one of the most commonly used methods in mining association rules at present. But a shortcoming of the algorithm is that its performance on the large database is inefficient. The present paper proposed a new algorithm by extracting maximum frequent itemsets based on a Boolean matrix. And a case study about extracting the spatial association rules between land cover and terrain factors was demonstrated to show the validation of the new algorithm. Finally, the conclusion was reached by the comparison between the Apriori algorithm and the new one which revealed that the new algorithm improves the efficiency of extracting spatial association rules.","PeriodicalId":413886,"journal":{"name":"2011 19th International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131464423","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}
