By collocating the Global Precipitation Measurement Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (GPM DPR) observations with European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts 5th Reanalysis (ERA5) data, this study comparatively examines the microphysics of monsoon precipitation in the rainy season over the Yangtze-and-Huai River Basin (YHRB) and South China (SC) from 2014 to 2023. The comparative analysis is made in terms of precipitation types and intensities, precipitation efficiency index (PEI), and ice phase layer (IPL) width. The results show that the mean near-surface precipitation rate and PEI are generally higher over SC (2.87 mm/h, 3.43 h−1) than over YHRB (2.27 mm/h, 3.22 h−1) due to the more frequent occurrence of convective precipitation. The DSD characteristics of heavy precipitation in the wet season for both regions are similar to those of deep ocean convection, which is associated with a greater amount of water vapor. However, over SC, there are larger but fewer raindrops in the near-surface precipitation. Moreover, moderate PEI precipitation is the main contributor to heavy precipitation (>8 mm/h). Stratiform precipitation over YHRB is frequent enough to contribute more than convective precipitation to heavy precipitation (8–20 mm/h). The combined effect of stronger convective available potential energy and low-level vertical wind favors intense convection over SC, resulting in a larger storm top height (STH) than that over YHRB. Consequently, it is conducive to enhancing the microphysical processes of the ice and melt phases within the precipitation. The vertical wind can also influence the liquid phase processes below the melting layer. Collectively, these dynamic microphysical processes are important in shaping the efficiency and intensity of precipitation.","PeriodicalId":48993,"journal":{"name":"Remote Sensing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142250976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study is to assess the suitability of SLAM devices for surface modeling in an urban/architectural environment. To this end, analyses are carried out on the datasets acquired by three commercial portable laser scanners in the context of a benchmark organized in 2023 by the Italian Society of Photogrammetry and Topography (SIFET). In addition to the conventional point cloud assessment, we propose a comparison between the reconstructed mesh and a ground-truth model, employing a model-to-model methodology. The outcomes are promising, with the average distance between models ranging from 0.2 to 1.4 cm. However, the surfaces modeled from the terrestrial laser scanning point cloud show a level of detail that is still unmatched by SLAM systems.","PeriodicalId":48993,"journal":{"name":"Remote Sensing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142250971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, acquiring these datasets can be time-consuming, particularly for large objects. Mobile scanning systems offer a solution for such cases. In the case of complex scenes, multiple scanning systems are required to obtain point clouds that can be merged into a comprehensive representation of the object. Merging individual point clouds obtained from different sensors or at different times can be difficult due to discrepancies caused by moving objects or changes in the scene over time, such as seasonal variations in vegetation. In this study, we present the integration of point clouds obtained from two mobile scanning platforms within a built-up area. We utilized a combination of a quadruped robot and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The PointNet++ network was employed to conduct a semantic segmentation task, enabling the detection of non-ground objects. The experimental tests used the Toronto 3D dataset and DALES for network training. Based on the performance, the model trained on DALES was chosen for further research. The proposed integration algorithm involved semantic segmentation of both point clouds, dividing them into square subregions, and performing subregion selection by checking the emptiness or when both subregions contained points. Parameters such as local density, centroids, coverage, and Euclidean distance were evaluated. Point cloud merging and augmentation enhanced with semantic segmentation and clustering resulted in the exclusion of points associated with these movable objects from the point clouds. The comparative analysis of the method and simple merging was performed based on file size, number of points, mean roughness, and noise estimation. The proposed method provided adequate results with the improvement of point cloud quality indicators.","PeriodicalId":48993,"journal":{"name":"Remote Sensing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142250968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the received photon data often contain substantial noise, complicating the extraction of elevation information. Currently, a denoising algorithm named ordering points to identify the clustering structure (OPTICS) draws people’s attention because of its strong performance under high background noise. However, this algorithm’s fixed input variables can lead to inaccurate photon distribution parameters in areas near the water bottom, which results in inadequate denoising in these areas, affecting bathymetric accuracy. To address this issue, an Adaptive Variable OPTICS (AV-OPTICS) model is proposed in this paper. Unlike the traditional OPTICS model with fixed input variables, the proposed model dynamically adjusts input variables based on point cloud distribution. This adjustment ensures accurate measurement of photon distribution parameters near the water bottom, thereby enhancing denoising effects in these areas and improving bathymetric accuracy. The findings indicate that, compared to traditional OPTICS methods, AV-OPTICS achieves higher -values and lower cohesions, demonstrating better denoising performance near the water bottom. Furthermore, this method achieves an average of 0.28 m and of 0.31 m, indicating better bathymetric accuracy than traditional OPTICS methods. This study provides a promising solution for shallow-water bathymetry based on photon-counting LiDAR data.","PeriodicalId":48993,"journal":{"name":"Remote Sensing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142250972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, sea–land segmentation (SLS) is still a challenging problem because of data diversity and inconsistency, “different objects with the same spectrum” or “the same object with different spectra”, and noise and interference problems, etc. In this paper, a new sea–land segmentation method (PMFormer) for remote-sensing images is proposed. The contributions are mainly two points. First, based on Mask2Former architecture, we introduce the prompt mask by normalized difference water index (NDWI) of the target image and prompt encoder architecture. The prompt mask provides more reasonable constraints for attention so that the segmentation errors are alleviated in small region boundaries and small branches, which are caused by insufficiency of prior information by large data diversity or inconsistency. Second, for the large intra-class difference problem in the foreground–background segmentation in sea–land scenes, we use deep clustering to simplify the query vectors and make them more suitable for binary segmentation. Then, traditional NDWI and eight other deep-learning methods are thoroughly compared with the proposed PMFormer on three open sea–land datasets. The efficiency of the proposed method is confirmed, after the quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis, time consumption, error distribution, etc. are presented by detailed contrast experiments.","PeriodicalId":48993,"journal":{"name":"Remote Sensing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142268641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The challenge in estimating these constituents through remote sensing is in accurately distinguishing and quantifying optical and biogeochemical properties, e.g., absorption coefficients and the concentration of chlorophyll a (Chla), especially in complex waters. This study evaluated the temporal and spatial variability of bio-optical properties in the coastal waters of the Western Iberian Coast (WIC), contributing to the assessment of satellite retrievals. In situ data from three oceanographic cruises conducted in 2019–2020 across different seasons were analyzed. Field-measured biogenic light absorption coefficients were compared to satellite estimates from Ocean-Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI) reflectance data using semi-analytical approaches (QAA, GSM, GIOP). Key findings indicate substantial variability in bio-optical properties across different seasons and regions. New bio-optical coefficients improved satellite data retrieval, reducing uncertainties and providing more reliable phytoplankton absorption estimates.

We used data from the TROPOMI Sentinel-P5 satellite to evaluate the concentrations of two greenhouse gases, namely O3 and NO2. TROPOMI Sentinel-P5 satellite data are becoming essential in air quality monitoring, particularly for countries that lack ground-based monitoring systems. For a better approximation of satellite data with ground data, we related the remotely sensed data using ground station data and Pearson correlation analysis, which revealed a significant association between the two sources (0.43 ≤ r ≤ 0.78). Using paired t-test comparisons, we evaluated the differences in mean gas concentrations at 30 randomly selected intervals to identify significant changes before and after the events. The results indicate noticeable changes in the two gases over the three analysis periods. O3 significantly decreased between September and November 2019 and between March and May 2020, while NO2 significantly increased. NO2 levels decreased by 18% between February and March 2020 across the study area, as indicated by remote sensing data. The geovisualization of remotely sensed data over these periods supports these patterns, suggesting a potential connection with population density. The results show the complexity of drawing global conclusions about the impact of social disruptions on the atmosphere and emphasize the advantages of using remote sensing as an effective framework to address air quality changes over short periods of time. This study also highlights the advantages of a remote sensing approach to monitor atmospheric conditions in countries with limited air quality monitoring infrastructure and provides a valuable approach for the evaluation of short-term alterations in atmospheric conditions due to social disturbance events.","PeriodicalId":48993,"journal":{"name":"Remote Sensing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142250969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we develop a center point-based ship detection subnetwork, which employs depth-separable convolution to reduce parameter redundancy and combines coordinate attention with an oriented response network to generate direction-invariant feature maps. The center point of each ship is predicted by regression of the offset, target scale, and angle to realize the ship detection. Then, we adopt the spatial similarity of the ship center points to cluster the ship group, utilizing the Delaunay triangulation method to establish the topological graph structure of the ship group. Finally, we design a context-aware Dense Graph Convolutional Network (DGCN) with graph structure to achieve formation recognition.

Therefore, we propose an efficient on-board compression method for remote sensing images with arbitrary-shaped clouds by leveraging the characteristics of cloudy images. Firstly, we introduce two novel spatial preprocessing strategies, namely, the optimized adaptive filling (OAF) strategy and the controllable quantization (CQ) strategy. Specifically, the OAF strategy fills each cloudy region using the contextual information at its inner and outer edge to completely remove the information of cloudy regions and minimize their coding consumption, which is suitable for images with only thick clouds. The CQ strategy implicitly identifies thin and thick clouds and rationally quantifies the data in cloudy regions to alleviate information loss in thin cloud-covered regions, which can achieve the balance between coding efficiency and reconstructed image quality and is more suitable for images containing thin clouds. Secondly, we develop an efficient coding method for a binary cloud mask to effectively save the bit rate of the side information. Our method provides the flexibility for users to choose the desired preprocessing strategy as needed and can be embedded into existing compression framework such as JPEG2000. Experimental results on the GF-1 dataset show that our method effectively reduces the coding consumption of invalid cloud-covered regions and significantly improve the compression efficiency as well as the quality of decoded images.","PeriodicalId":48993,"journal":{"name":"Remote Sensing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142268647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Tarim River Basin contains the most densely distributed population of P. euphratica forests in the world, and obtaining accurate distribution data in the mainstream of the Tarim River would provide important support for its protection and restoration. We propose a new method for automatically extracting P. euphratica using Sentinel-1 and 2 and Landsat-8 images based on the Google Earth Engine cloud platform and the random forest algorithm. A mask of the potential distribution area of P. euphratica was created based on prior knowledge to save computational resources. The NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) time series was then reconstructed using the preferred filtering method to obtain phenological parameter features, and the random forest model was input by combining the phenological parameter, spectral index, textural, and backscattering features. An active learning method was employed to optimize the model and obtain the best model for extracting P. euphratica. Finally, the map of natural P. euphratica forests with a resolution of 10 m in the mainstream of the Tarim River was obtained. The overall accuracy, producer’s accuracy, user’s accuracy, kappa coefficient, and F1-score of the map were 0.96, 0.98, 0.95, 0.93, and 0.96, respectively. The comparison experiments showed that simultaneously adding backscattering and textural features improved the P. euphratica extraction accuracy, while textural features alone resulted in a poor extraction effect. The method developed in this study fully considered the prior and posteriori information and determined the feature set suitable for the P. euphratica identification task, which can be used to quickly obtain accurate large-area distribution data of P. euphratica. The method can also provide a reference for identifying other typical desert vegetation.","PeriodicalId":48993,"journal":{"name":"Remote Sensing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142250977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
