Satellite remote sensing, which can observe the earth's surface in a consistent manner, has been playing an important role in monitoring and evaluating land-cover changes. Meanwhile, optical remote sensing, a common approach to acquiring land-cover information, is limited by weather conditions and thus is greatly constrained in areas with frequent cloud cover and rainfall. Recent advances in polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) provide a promising means to extract timely information of land-cover changes regardless of weather conditions. SAR satellite can pass through an area from different orbits, namely ascending orbit and descending orbit. The PolSAR images from the same orbit will have similar backscattering even with different incident angles. But if images are acquired from different orbits, the backscattering will vary greatly, which causes many difficulties to land cover change detection. The proposed algorithms in this study can perform land cover change detection in three situations: 1) repeat-pass images (image from the same orbit and with same incident angle, 2) images from the same orbit but with different incident angle, and 3) images from different orbits. Using images from different orbits will largely reduce the monitoring interval which is important in the surveillance of natural disasters. The present study proposes 1) a sub-pixel automatic registration technique, 2) an automatic change detection technique and 3) an iterative framework to process a time series of PolSAR images that can be applied to the PolSAR images from different orbits. Firstly, automatic registration is crucial to the change detection task because a small positional error will largely degrade the accuracy of change detection. The automatic registration technique is based on the multi-scale Harris corner detector. To improve the efficiency and robustness, the orientation angle differencing method is proposed to reject outliers. This differencing method has been proved effective even in the experiment of using PolSAR images from different orbits when less than 5% of the feature point matches are correct. Secondly, the change detection technique can automatically detect land-cover conversions and classify the newly input image. Hierarchical segmentation has been applied in the change detection which generates objects within the constraint of the previous classification map. Multivariate kernel density estimation is applied to classify newly input PolSAR image. The experiments show that the proposed change detection technique can mitigate the effect of polarimetric orientation shift when the PolSAR images are from different orbits, and it can achieve high accuracy even when complex local deformation is appeared. Lastly, the iterative framework, which integrates the automatic registration and automatic change detection techniques, is proposed to process a time series of PolSAR images. In the iterative process, no obvious decrease of classification accuracy is observed. Therefore, the proposed framework provides a potential treatment to derive land-cover dynamics from a time series of PolSAR images from different orbits.

Download or read book Land Cover Classification on Satellite Image Time Series Using Deep Learning Models written by Zhihao Wang and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monitoring land cover changes plays an important role in the studies of climate change and sustainable development. As more and more Satellite Image Time Series (SITS) data become available, it is important to develop land cover classification methods that can make full use of the temporal information from the SITS. As a state-of-the-art framework, Deep Learning has shown its strong performance in extracting spatial and temporal features from a large number of data. Hence, this thesis proposes a Convolution Neural Network – Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (CNN-BiGRU) model for land cover classification on SITS data. Specifically, CNN-BiGRU can extract valuable temporal and spectral information using CNN layers and model the temporal dependence using BiGRU layers. The 7-year NLCD land cover changes dataset and the time series challenge dataset are used to evaluate the performance of CNN-BiGRU on the classification of changed and unchanged land cover. The results show the proposed CNN-BiGRU outperforms the current popular classification methods, including the traditional Random Forest methods with different temporal representations (e.g. selecting all temporal bands as one vector or using one date image based on MaxNDVI) and the widely used deep learning models (e.g. CNN and Recurrent Neural Network). However, limitations are that errors exist in the reference data collected from NLCD products; there is no spatial information considered in the framework; temporal information is only utilized at the feature level. Future studies could integrate the spatial information into the classification process, and post-refine the temporal consistency based on the probability outputs.

This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Machine and deep learning techniques for content extraction of satellite images utilize artificial intelligence and neural networks to analyze and extract information from satellite imagery. These techniques can be used for a variety of applications, such as image classification, object detection, optical character recognition (OCR), and semantic segmentation. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are commonly used for image classification and object detection tasks. These networks are designed to process and understand images by analyzing the spatial relationship between pixels. They are composed of multiple layers, with each layer analyzing a different level of detail in the image. CNNs are particularly effective at identifying patterns and features in satellite images, such as roads, buildings, and vegetation. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) networks are particularly useful for tasks that require the analysis of sequential data, like time series data. They are particularly useful in land cover change detection, change detection and time series analysis of satellite images. Semantic segmentation is the process of classifying each pixel in an image to a particular class, and it can be achieved using Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN) and U-Net architecture. This technique is particularly useful for identifying different land cover classes in satellite images, such as urban, agricultural, and natural areas. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are used for creating synthetic images or super resolution of images. These are particularly useful for creating synthetic data for training and testing deep learning models for satellite images. Transfer learning is a technique that allows a pre-trained model to be fine-tuned for a specific task. This can be used to improve the accuracy of image classification and object detection tasks by using a pre-trained model as a starting point. In summary, machine and deep learning techniques for content extraction of satellite images involve using neural networks and computer vision techniques to analyze and extract information from satellite imagery. These techniques can be used for a variety of applications, such as image classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation, and can improve the accuracy and efficiency of extracting information from satellite images. to process and understand images by analyzing the spatial relationship between pixels.
