In order to solve the problems of low efficiency, multiple blind spots, and high risks in traditional debris flow exploration, two technical means were adopted: small baseline subset interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SBAS-InSAR) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) low altitude remote sensing (the former obtains highly reliable deformation of vegetation coverage areas through dense images, while the latter obtains high-resolution realistic 3D models through regional network adjustment and other processing) . Integrating deformation and image texture, a survey and analysis of debris flow valleys along a railway in a certain mountainous area was conducted to obtain the spatial and temporal distribution of geological hazards in the watershed. The results show that, through SBAS-InSAR technology, it was found that there were multiple seasonal active hazards in the debris flow valley, with a maximum deformation variable of 28.5 mm/a. Based on the 3D model of UAV, a detailed investigation was conducted on the spatial form, volume, occurrence, and development of the deformation hazard. The largest scale landslide had a volume of 165 000 to 180 000 cubic meters. On site investigations show that the comprehensive remote sensing technology can effectively overcome the challenges of complex mountainous terrain and difficult access for humans, providing a multidimensional perspective for disaster screening. It has the advantages of low personnel investment, wide monitoring area, fast disaster positioning, and high screening accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Soil salinization in the Yellow River Delta is a difficult and miscellaneous disease to restrict the development of agri‐ cultural economy, and further hinders agricultural production. To explore the retrieval of soil salt content from remote sensing images under the condition of no vegetation coverage, the typical area of the Yellow River Delta was taken as the study area to obtain the hyperspectral of surface features, the multispectral of UAVs and the soil salt content of sample points. Three represen‐ tative experimental areas with flat terrain and obvious soil salinization characteristics were set up in the study area, and 90 sam‐ ples were collected in total. By optimizing the sensitive spectral parameters, machine learning algorithms of partial least squares regression (PLSR) and random forest (RF) for inversion of soil salt content were used in the study area. The results showed that: (1) Hyperspectral band of 1972 nm had the highest sensitivity to soil salt content, with correlation r of -0.31. The optimized spectral parameters of shortwave infrared can improve the accuracy of estimating soil salt content. (2) RF model optimized by two different data sources had better stability than PLSR model. RF model performed well in terms of generalization ability and balance error, but it had some over-fitting problems. (3) RF model based on ground feature hyperspectral (R² =0.54, verified RMSE=3.30 g/kg) was superior to the random forest model based on UAV multispectral (R² =0.54, verified RMSE=3.35 g/kg). The combination of image texture features improved the estimation accuracy of multispectral model, but the verification accuracy was still lower than that of hyperspectral model. (4) Soil salt content based on UAV multi-spectral imageries and RF model was mapped in the study area. This study demonstrates that the level of soil salinization in the Yellow River Delta region is significantly different in geographical location. The cultivated land in the study area is mainly light and moderate salinized soil with has certain restrictions on crop cultivation. Areas with low soil salt content are suitable for planting crops in low salinity fields, and farmland with high soil salt content is suitable for planting crops with high salinity tolerance. This study constructed and compared the soil salinity inversion models of the Yellow River Delta from two different sources of data, optimized them based on the advantages of each data source, explored the inversion of soil salinity content without vegetation coverage, and can provide a reference for more accurate inversion of land salinization.

Both artificial visual interpretation and computer automatic classification were the mainly remote sensing methods used to extract farmland information. At present, it is still difficult to entirely replace the artificial visual interpretation for the computer automatic classification to extract farmlands' type information of the remote sensing image, because the automatic method needs more efforts to improve the precision of the classification results, so the problem became the key link of the automatic classification extraction. How to extract farmlands' type information in the western part of Jilin is one of the major problems which the paper attempts to solve to distinguish paddy field from dry land. A new solution to extract the farmland information has been designed for the remote sensing automatic classification, based on the spatial variation theory. The classification scheme was carried out by operating in an R language platform and the remote sensing software ERDAS platform. The farmland type of Zhenlai in the western of Jilin was extracted and monitored by making use of four indexes, the range of NDVI series, the local variance of image texture, the modified soil adjusted vegetation index, and the normalized difference water index, which have significant meaning for the farmland cover type in the transition zone between the cropping area and the nomadic area. These variances with clear physical meaning information (including the vegetation, water, soil drought conditions) and phonological information were used to build a multi-dimensional feature space classification data set. The results indicated that: 1) the dry field of which an area of 1065.337 km2 was cultivated in the study area was the largest farmlands' type, and also was one of the most important ecological landscape types. It's the spatial distribution characteristic of the study area that is a relatively dispersed dry field, and a relatively concentrated paddy field; 2) based on the multidimensional space data set, the algorithm of a support vector machine (SVM) was chosen to automatically extract the farmland types' data of the paddy field and the dry land. The overall classification accuracy of the algorithm was 94%, the Kappa coefficient of the classification was 0.87, and the extracted accuracy of the paddy field was 98.3%, while the extracted accuracy of the dry land was 98%. The existing automatic extraction approach was implemented to obtain a comparatively ideal classification result; 3) through the farmland's regional analysis, a depression that has more lowland and easy seeper is suitable for the reclamation of paddy field. It's noted that the extracted classification has an obvious regional farmland type, and the regional features were consistent with the farming cultivation characteristics in the northeast plains; 4) both rice and corn were typical unimodal type growth crops, and the similar growth peak, but the result of the range (rice, 3.8±0.4; upland crops, 3.4±0.3;) noted that: the phenology information of different vegetation types has its own characteristics; this characteristic of the NDVI seasonal variation curve is real.

The wide use of plastic greenhouses in the word has brought economic benefits, but also caused many environmental problems. Accurate and timely acquisition of spatial distribution information of plastic greenhouse is of great significance to agricultural production and soil management. The use of plastic greenhouse has changed the structure of soil, thus changing the surface spectral characteristics of the soil. Because of the particularity of the plastic film material, the reflection spectrum has strong directionality and uncertainty, so it is difficult to identify plastic greenhouse accurately only depending on the reflectance spectrum characteristics of ground objects. In this paper, Kunming City, Yunnan Province is taken as the research area, using GF-2 image as a single data source, the multi-scale segmentation method is used to obtain the image object efficiently and accurately. According to the detailed spatial information of plastic greenhouse, the applicability of three image object-based texture extraction algorithms, namely GLCM(gray-level co-occurrence matrix), LBP(local binary pattern) and PSI(pixel shape index) for plastic greenhouse identification is analysed and tested. In addition, different texture features are combined with spectral features and NDVI index to form different classification schemes, to explore which one would be the best combination of texture features for identification of plastic greenhouses. In order to explore the robustness of the method, different texture feature combination schemes are applied in the study areas. The results of SVM (support vector machine) classifier are evaluated by confusion matrix. The results show that the overall combination schemes of the two research areas with different landscape patterns have the same trend. The combination of spectral features and NDVI index can accurately identify the scattered waters in each of the two study areas. For plastic greenhouses and impervious surfaces with similar reflectance spectra, adding texture features can make up for limitation of spectral characteristics and improve the overall accuracy. The phenomena of homologous or homologous spectra in spectral features of high spatial resolution image can effectively improve the discrimination between plastic greenhouse and impervious surface. Texture features can significantly improve the identification accuracy of plastic greenhouse following the object-based image classification frame. In the classification scheme of plastic greenhouses with different spatial distribution structures, the LBP (local binary pattern) texture algorithm has the best recognition accuracy, the overall accuracy of study area A is 96.85%, Kappa coefficient is 0.95, and that of study area B is 95.58% and 0.94. Landscape fragment analysis (landscape fragmentation index area mean index, aggregation indices) of the two different study areas showed that the plastic greenhouses in study area A are more fragmented than study area B (area mean indices are 3.39 hm² and 1.37 hm², aggregation indices are 80.64 and 72.98 for plastic greenhouses in study area A and B, respectively). The results of fragmentation are consistent with those of classification, and the accuracy of landscape classification with more space fragments is lower (the highest overall classification accuracy for study area A and B are 98.13% and 96.13%, respectively, the PA(producer accuracy) and UA(user accuracy) are 96.47% and 97.93% for study area A, and 90.67%, 99.68% for study area B). The results show that texture features based on image objects can improve the recognition accuracy of small-scale plastic greenhouse. This is of great significance to the accurate mapping of the distribution of plastic greenhouses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, it's still difficult to entirely replace the artificial visual interpretation for the computer automatic classification, which is used to extract land cover types' information from the remote sensing imagery, because the automatic method needs more efforts to improve the precision of the classification results. Furthermore, this problem has become the key joint of the automatic classification extraction. How to extract land cover types' information in western area of Jilin, is one of the important problems, and the confused land cover types needs to be distinguished. The aim of this study is to deepen the application of remote sensing classification method that is used to extract land cover information automatically and quickly from the satellite imagery. The western area of Jilin is selected as the main research area. A new total solution to extract land cover information, based on the spatial variation theory, has been designed for the convenient automatic classification with the remote sensing technology. The remote sensing classification scheme is carried out by coding the R language algorithm and operating the remote sensing software ERDAS platform. The land cover types in Zhenlai County in the western area of Jilin, have been extracted and monitored through the combined utilization of 4 indices, including semivariance value of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) dataset, local variance of image texture, modified soil-adjusted vegetation index and normalized difference water index, which have significant meaning for the land cover types in the transition zone between cropping area and nomadic area. These variances have definite physical meaning (including vegetation, water, and soil drought conditions), so that the phenological information was used to build a multi-dimensional feature space classification data set. The results indicated that: 1) A total of 11 land cover types are extracted, using the multi-temporal remote sensing information to build a multidimensional classification characteristics data set based on the Landsat 8 data. The overall classification accuracy of the algorithm is 95.50%; the Kappa coefficient of classification is 0.9504. The automatic extracting approach implemented obtains a comparatively ideal classification result; 2) The introduction of 3 characteristic variables of the classification in the scheme significantly improves the separability of the confused land cover types. Considering the vegetation classification, the vegetation growth information has practical life-activity significance, and is a real-time dynamic method for the vegetation change monitoring; 3) Improving the land cover classification accuracy is not to introduce more characteristic parameters of the classification, but to effectively combine multiple appropriate classification variables. The new method can broaden the application vision and the scope of the ecological remote sensing investigation of surface vegetation. Moreover, the introduction of new variables not only makes the macro monitoring more convenient, but also improves the accuracy of classification of remote sensing interpretation. It's noted that the extracted classification has obvious regional feature, and the regional feature is consistent with the farming cultivation characteristics on the Northeast Plain. In a word, the results can provide a credible approach and valuable example for extracting and monitoring land cover type in farming-pastoral transitional zone. It is feasible to use the spatial variation theory to extract and monitor land cover type by combining the several evaluation indices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sugarcane identification on specific parcels and the assessment of soil management practices are important for agro-ecological studies, greenhouse gas modeling, and agrarian policy development. Information on the sugarcane cultivation areas is of global economic and environmental significance. The study area is Guigang City located in the central area of Guangxi Province which is a good representation of the agricultural conditions. Traditional pixel-based analysis of remotely sensed data results in inaccurate identification of some crops due to pixel heterogeneity, mixed pixels, spectral similarity. The growing region of sugarcane in Guangxi Province is discrete, so the remote sensing spectral of sugarcane is vulnerable to be impacted on a variety of crops. There are certain difficulties in the use of multi-spectral remote sensing to extract sugarcane. Current techniques for mapping sugarcane are based mainly on MODIS satellite data and may not make full use of the texture characteristics. The objective of this research is to investigate the potential for the application of the China Environment Satellite HJ-1A/1B and Phenology in monitoring sugarcane cultivation areas in Guangxi province in southern China. In our approach, we explored several characteristics such as the time information, spectral characteristics and texture features, used an object-based image analysis method and decision tree method for mapping the sugarcane area over large areas based on multi-temporal China Environment Satellite HJ-1A/B Data. A CCD camera sensor with 30m spatial resolution on board the China Environment Satellite HJ-1A and B has both visible and near infrared bands and a revisit period of four days, thus the temporal Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) can be obtained from HJ-1A and B data. A time series of the China Environment Satellite HJ-1A/B Data and DEM images was acquired in order to represent the wide range of pattern variation along the sugarcane crop cycle. Firstly, the phenology differences and between sugarcane and other crops, such as cassavas, rice, corn, in Guigang City were analyzed. Therefore the best recognition sessions of the sugarcane was proposed to be February, May, early August and December. Then, to derive the image objects, the multi-scale segmentation algorithm was used in Definiens Developer in which the classification rule set was established. The rule set consists of the Process Algorithm and Class Description which contain several membership functions of characteristic indexes. The useful characteristic indexes mapping the sugarcane from other crops are Spectral mean value, NDVI, Digital Evaluate Model (DEM) and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) homogeneity. Finally, the desired thematic map with sugarcane ready to harvest was generated. The mapping was then evaluated applying the confusion matrix method and Kappa statistics to the independent testing dataset which was composed of 102 field survey points and 48 point samples on Google Earth. The statistics indicated that the classification achieved an overall accuracy of 91.3% and a Kappa coefficient of 0.83. The results of this study show that the Object-Oriented method is very efficient for the sugarcane classification process to maximize elimination of other interfering factors and suggests that the China Environment Satellite HJ-1A/B has great potential in the development of an operational system for monitoring sugarcane growth in southern China.
