This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land cover change detection in urban areas provides valuable data on loss of forest and agricultural land to residential and commercial development. Using Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (1991) and Landsat 7 ETM+ (2000) imagery of Gwinnett County, GA, change images were obtained using image differencing of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), principal components analysis (PCA), and Tasseled Cap-transformed images. Ground truthing and accuracy assessment determined that land cover change detection using the NDVI and Tasseled Cap image transformation methods performed best in the study area, while PCA performed the worst of the three methods assessed. Analyses on vegetative and vegetation changes from 1991- 2000 revealed that these methods perform well for detecting changes in vegetation and/or vegetative characteristics but do not always correspond with changes in land use. Gwinnett County lost an estimated 13,500 hectares of vegetation cover during the study period to urban sprawl, with the majority of the loss coming from forested areas.

Download or read book Image Segmentation for Environmental Monitoring written by Brian Alan Johnson and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OBIA, based on image segmentation and as an important remote sensing monitoring technology, has been widely used in forestry, vegetation, wetland, urban, crop, conservation, ecology, and agriculture areas. Although OBIA has considerably progressed in the past 20 years, OBIA still much room for further development, regardless of the technological aspect of OBIA or the prospective expansion field of applications. Therefore, this book was organized to further encourage OBIA technology development and expand OBIA applications. This book collects a total of eight papers, which compile the current state-of-the-art research and technology in the area of image segmentation, and highlight prominent current application directions. Therefore, this book not only contains innovative methods, but also covers the innovation of application-driven OBIA technology. The eight papers in this highlight both the popular applications (urban, vegetation, ecology) and several subjects that require additional research attention (landslide, arid-land).
Download or read book A Hybrid Methodology for Detecting Cartographically Significant Features Using Landsat TM Imagery written by Robert S. Rand and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A general Change Detection (CD) methodology is investigated that involves a hybrid mix of image processing, spectral transformation, and statistical pattern recognition techniques. The Hybrid Methodology attempts to combine various forms of supporting and conflicting evidence for change into a resulting change map. The approach involves differencing registered multiband scene pairs that have undergone a spectral transformation, generating threshold masks, and applying a classifier to the masked multiband scene pairs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Processing of satellite images using deep learning and computer vision methods is needed for urban planning, crop assessments, disaster management, and rescue and recovery operations. Deep learning methods which are trained on ground-based imagery do not translate well to satellite imagery. In this thesis, we focus on the tasks of semantic segmentation and change detection in satellite imagery. A segmentation framework is presented based on existing waterfall-based modules. The proposed framework, called PyramidWASP, or PyWASP for short, can be used with two modules. PyWASP with the Waterfall Atrous Spatial Pooling (WASP) module investigates the effects of adding a feature pyramid network (FPN) to WASP. PyWASP with the improved WASP module (WASPv2) determines the effects of adding pyramid features to WASPv2. The pyramid features incorporate multi-scale feature representation into the network. This is useful for high-resolution satellite images, as they are known for having objects of varying scales. The two networks are tested on two datasets containing satellite images and one dataset containing ground-based images. The change detection method identifies building differences in registered satellite images of areas that have gone through drastic changes due to natural disasters. The proposed method is called Siamese Vision Transformers for Change Detection or SiamViT-CD for short. Vision transformers have been gaining popularity recently as they learn features well by using positional embedding information and a self-attention module. In this method, the Siamese branches, containing vision transformers with shared weights and parameters, accept a pair of satellite images and generate embedded patch-wise transformer features. These features are then processed by a classifier for patch-level change detection. The classifier predictions are further processed to generate change maps and the final predicted mask contains damage levels for all the buildings in the image. The robustness of the method is also tested by adding weather-related disturbances to satellite images."--Abstract.
Download or read book Automated Segmentation of Urban Features from Landsat Thematic Mapper Imagery for Use in Pseudovariant Feature Temporal Image Normalization written by Carl Salvaggio and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An automated segmentation algorithm for the isolation of pseudoinvariant features was developed. This algorithm utilizes rate-of-change information from the thresholding process previously associated with the pseudoinvariant feature normalization technique. This algorithm was combined with the normalization technique and applied to the six reflective bands of the Landsat Thematic Mapper for both urban and rural imagery. The segmentation algorithm and normalization technique were also applied to color infrared high resolution U2 imagery. The accuracy and precision of the normalization results were evaluated. The technique consistently produced normalization results with errors of approximately one or two reflectance units for both the rural and urban Thematic Mapper imagery as well as the visible bands of high resolution airphoto imagery. The segmentation algorithm shows great potential for the removal of human intervention in the pseudoinvariant feature temporal image normalization process."--Abstract.

This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Change Detection and Image Time Series Analysis 1 presents a wide range of unsupervised methods for temporal evolution analysis through the use of image time series associated with optical and/or synthetic aperture radar acquisition modalities. Chapter 1 introduces two unsupervised approaches to multiple-change detection in bi-temporal multivariate images, with Chapters 2 and 3 addressing change detection in image time series in the context of the statistical analysis of covariance matrices. Chapter 4 focuses on wavelets and convolutional-neural filters for feature extraction and entropy-based anomaly detection, and Chapter 5 deals with a number of metrics such as cross correlation ratios and the Hausdorff distance for variational analysis of the state of snow. Chapter 6 presents a fractional dynamic stochastic field model for spatio temporal forecasting and for monitoring fast-moving meteorological events such as cyclones. Chapter 7 proposes an analysis based on characteristic points for texture modeling, in the context of graph theory, and Chapter 8 focuses on detecting new land cover types by classification-based change detection or feature/pixel based change detection. Chapter 9 focuses on the modeling of classes in the difference image and derives a multiclass model for this difference image in the context of change vector analysis.

Book excerpt: Efforts have been made before in the field of automatic urban change detection by using different imagery sources as input. Usually, aerial photographs are used as input, but their high costs makes it hard for small municipalities to acquire them regularly. A cheaper alternative can be found in VHR satellite images, which are continuously increasing in availability. Supported by that, the aim of the study was to analyse the possibilities of detecting changes in an urban environment by using SPOT 6 images as input, being the final goal to develop a method for cheaply updating the new Dutch large scale topographic map, required for very Dutch municipality.
