To solve this problem, this paper proposes a modified chirp scaling algorithm on MEO SAR (MCSoM). The algorithm is based on the idea of two-step azimuth space variation compensation. First, the bulk azimuth variance is removed in the range processing stage, and then combined with CS the algorithm completes the range cell migration (RCM)correction, and finally removes the remaining azimuth space variation in the azimuth processing stage. The proposed algorithm compensates for both RCM and the azimuth modulation term. Combined with the CS operation, the large-scene focused imaging of the MEO SAR can be realized. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":426003,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2022 - 2022 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117174378","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}

Localization and detection of weed in sugarcane field is a critical classification problem. Vegetative stage of weed, especially, when it is growing and is at its earliest phase, exhibits challenging characteristics such as small weed patch area and color merging tendencies with the crop, which makes it a very typical task to correctly identify, localize and detect weed. A meticulous and scientific detection of weed at early stages may aid in providing timely and quick treatment in the scene to preserve crop health. Random forest classifier is a combination of numerous decision tree classifiers and is a type of ensemble learning which has ample potential for clustering data of similar nature into different classes. This predictive averaging approach has the capability to detect early weed patches, which in turn facilitates precision agriculture. The presented research focusses on binary classification of UAV data of weed infested sugarcane field using decision based random forest classifier at weed's premature stage. Small and multiple green on green weed patches in sugarcane field have been accurately detected and classified into two classes “weed” and “crop”. This algorithm helps detect early weed patches in agricultural setting which in turn aids in weed removal strategies.","PeriodicalId":426003,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2022 - 2022 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121252427","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}

Typically, drought begins with meteorological drought, after which it propagates to agricultural and hydrological drought. Thus, it is essential to investigate the process involved in the drought propagation from meteorological to groundwater drought. In this study, we investigated groundwater drought by calculating the standardized groundwater level index (SGI) using predicted groundwater storage changes (GWSC) based on satellite data-driven deep learning models. The GWSC was predicted using two deep learning models (the convolution neural network-long short term memory (CNN-LSTM) and LSTM), and the results were validated using in situ observation data. In addition, the SGI was compared to meteorological, agricultural, and hydrological drought indices based on remote sensed data, and the drought propagation was analyzed. This study revealed the potential of satellite data-driven deep learning models for assessing groundwater droughts, which is important for the development of multi-scale drought monitoring systems.","PeriodicalId":426003,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2022 - 2022 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127296954","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}

Although the development of remote sensing satellite technology and the advance of computer vision technology have made it possible to quickly extract road networks from massive very-high-resolution (VHR) remote sensing imagery, existing road extraction methods are limited by the problem: lacking of an accurate and diverse training dataset for global-scale road extraction, and manually labelling millions of road samples for training a global model is labor intensive. To address this problem, we utilized VHR satellite imagery and open-source crowdsourcing geospatial big data to build a robust global-scale road training dataset, termed GlobalRoadNet, for global road extraction (GRE) and beyond. The proposed GlobalRoadNet contains 47210 samples from 121 capital cities of six continents in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, Oceania, and North America.

Support vector regression (SVR) was applied using surface reflectance values as input variables. Results showed that vegetation anisotropy influenced correlations values. Narrow and broadband vegetation indices were strongly affected according to the sun-view angle configuration. Improvements of up to 30Mg.ha−1 are found for the prediction of AGB according to the selection of the data acquisition.

Due to the burst mode and series of sub-swaths, the target area is scanned for a short period of time. Therefore, swath width comes at the expense of azimuth resolution. To eliminate quadratic phase drift and achieve SLC baseband, significant processing is required. De-ramping is a necessary step to compute ocean circulation parameters. In this work, we extract ocean parameters from the complex echo signal based on data driven Doppler centroid $(f_{DC})$ regardless of the OCN product information and geophysical $f_{DC}$ image. The radial surface velocity (RSV) is retrieved from Doppler history, and the significant wave height (SWH) is estimated with an empirical relationship of RSV. The results of ocean circulation parameters are promising when compared with benchmark and in-situ data. This work demonstrates the efficacy and necessity of de-ramping the TOPS data for subsequent use in a variety of ocean remote sensing applications.","PeriodicalId":426003,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2022 - 2022 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124837293","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}
