Vegetation water content (VWC) is a crucial parameter for evaluating vegetation growth, climate change, natural disasters such as forest fires, and drought prediction. Spaceborne global navigation satellite system reflectometry (GNSS-R) has become a valuable tool for soil moisture (SM) and biomass remote sensing (RS) due to its higher spatial resolution compared with microwave measurements. Although previous studies have confirmed the enormous potential of spaceborne GNSS-R for vegetation monitoring, the utilization of this technology to fuse multiple RS parameters to retrieve VWC is not yet mature. For this purpose, this paper constructs a local high-spatiotemporal-resolution spaceborne GNSS-R VWC retrieval model that integrates key information, such as bistatic radar cross section (BRCS), effective scattering area, CYGNSS variables, and surface auxiliary parameters based on five ensemble machine learning (ML) algorithms (i.e., bagging tree (BT), gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), random forest (RF), and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM)). We extensively tested the performance of different models using SMAP ancillary data as validation data, and the results show that the root mean square errors (RMSEs) of the BT, XGBoost, RF, and LightGBM models in VWC retrieval are better than 0.50 kg/m
2 . Among them, the BT and RF models performed the best in localized VWC retrieval, with RMSE values of 0.50 kg/m2 . Conversely, the XGBoost model exhibits the worst performance, with an RMSE of 0.85 kg/m2 . In terms of RMSE, the RF model demonstrates improvements of 70.00%, 52.00%, and 32.00% over the XGBoost, LightGBM, and GBDT models, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

The widespread use of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology has led to a surge in three-dimensional point cloud data; although, it also poses challenges in terms of data storage and indexing. Efficient storage and management of LiDAR data are prerequisites for data processing and analysis for various LiDAR-based scientific applications. Traditional relational database management systems and centralized file storage struggle to meet the storage, scaling, and specific query requirements of massive point cloud data. However, NoSQL databases, known for their scalability, speed, and cost-effectiveness, provide a viable solution. In this study, a 3D point cloud indexing strategy for mobile LiDAR point cloud data that integrates Hilbert curves, R*-trees, and B+-trees was proposed to support MongoDB-based point cloud storage and querying from the following aspects: (1) partitioning the point cloud using an adaptive space partitioning strategy to improve the I/O efficiency and ensure data locality; (2) encoding partitions using Hilbert curves to construct global indices; (3) constructing local indexes (R*-trees) for each point cloud partition so that MongoDB can natively support indexing of point cloud data; and (4) a MongoDB-oriented storage structure design based on a hierarchical indexing structure. We evaluated the efficacy of chunked point cloud data storage with MongoDB for spatial querying and found that the proposed storage strategy provides higher data encoding, index construction and retrieval speeds, and more scalable storage structures to support efficient point cloud spatial query processing compared to many mainstream point cloud indexing strategies and database systems.

Improving the accuracy of zenith tropospheric delay (ZTD) models is an important task. However, the existing ZTD models still have limitations, such as a lack of appropriate vertical adjustment function and being unsuitable for China, which has a complex climate and great undulating terrain. A new approach that considers the time-varying vertical adjustment and delicate diurnal variations of ZTD was introduced to develop a new grid ZTD model (NGZTD). The NGZTD model employed the Gaussian function and considered the seasonal variations of Gaussian coefficients to express the vertical variations of ZTD. The effectiveness of vertical interpolation for the vertical adjustment model (NGZTD-H) was validated. The root mean squared errors (RMSE) of the NGZTD-H model improved by 58% and 22% compared to the global pressure and temperature 3 (GPT3) model using ERA5 and radiosonde data, respectively. The NGZTD model's effectiveness for directly estimating the ZTD was validated. The NGZTD model improved by 22% and 31% compared to the GPT3 model using GNSS-derived ZTD and layered ZTD at radiosonde stations, respectively. Seasonal variations in Gaussian coefficients need to be considered. Using constant Gaussian coefficients will generate large errors. The NGZTD model exhibited outstanding advantages in capturing diurnal variations and adapting to undulating terrain. We analyzed and discussed the main error sources of the NGZTD model using validation of spatial interpolation accuracy. This new ZTD model has potential applications in enhancing the reliability of navigation, positioning, and interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) measurements and is recommended to promote the development of space geodesy techniques.

The presence of abundant spatio-temporal information based on the location of mobile objects in publicly accessible GPS mobile devices makes it crucial to collect, analyze, and mine such information. Therefore, it is necessary to index a large volume of trajectory data to facilitate efficient trajectory retrieval and access. It is difficult for existing indexing methods that primarily rely on data-driven indexing structures (such as R-Tree) or space-driven indexing structures (such as Quadtree) to support efficient analysis and computation of data based on spatio-temporal range queries as a service basis, especially when applied to massive trajectory data. In this study, we propose a massive GPS data storage and indexing method based on uneven spatial segmentation and trajectory optimization segmentation. Primarily, the method divides GPS trajectories in a large spatio-temporal data space into multiple MBR sequences by greedy algorithm. Then, a hybrid indexing model for segmented trajectories is constructed to form a global spatio-temporal segmentation scheme, called HHBITS index, to achieve hierarchical organization of trajectory data. Eventually, a spatio-temporal range query processing method is proposed based on this index. This paper implements and evaluates the index in MongoDB and compares it with two other spatio-temporal composite indexes for performing spatio-temporal range queries efficiently. The experimental results show that the method in this paper has high performance in responding to spatio-temporal queries on large-scale trajectory data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At present, as a research hotspot for time series data (TSD), the deep clustering analysis of TSD has huge research value and practical significance. However, there still exist the following three problems: (1) For deep clustering based on joint optimization, the inevitably mutual interference existing between deep feature representation learning progress and clustering progress leads to difficult model training especially in the initial stage, the possible feature space distortion, inaccurate and weak feature representation; (2) Existing deep clustering methods are difficult to intuitively define the similarity of time series and rely heavily on complex feature extraction networks and clustering algorithms. (3) Multidimensional time series have the characteristics of high dimensions, complex relationships between dimensions, and variable data forms, thus generating a huge feature space. It is difficult for existing methods to select discriminative features, resulting in generally low accuracy of methods. Accordingly, to address the above three problems, we proposed a novel general two-stage multi-dimensional spatial features based multi-view deep clustering method 1DCAE-TSSAMC (One-dimensional deep convolutional auto-encoder based two-stage stepwise amplification multi-clustering). We conducted verification and analysis based on real-world important multi-scenario, and compared with many other benchmarks ranging from the most classic approaches such as K-means and Hierarchical to the state-of-the-art approaches based on deep learning such as Deep Temporal Clustering (DTC) and Temporal Clustering Network (TCN). Experimental results show that the new method outperforms the other benchmarks, and provides more accurate, richer, and more reliable analysis results, more importantly, with significant improvement in accuracy and spatial linear separability.

SAR imagery plays a crucial role in geological and environmental monitoring, particularly in highland mountainous regions. However, inherent geometric distortions in SAR images often undermine the precision of remote sensing analyses. Accurately identifying and classifying these distortions is key to analyzing their origins and enhancing the quality and accuracy of monitoring efforts. While the layover and shadow map (LSM) approach is commonly utilized to identify distortions, it falls short in classifying subtle ones. This study introduces a novel LSM ground-range slope (LG) method, tailored for the refined identification of minor distortions to augment the LSM approach. We implemented the LG method on Sentinel-1 SAR imagery from the tri-junction area where the Xiaojiang, Pudu, and Jinsha rivers converge at the Yunnan-Sichuan border. By comparing effective monitoring-point densities, we evaluated and validated traditional methods—LSM, R-Index, and P-NG—against the LG method. The LG method demonstrates superior performance in discriminating subtle distortions within complex terrains through its secondary classification process, which allows for precise and comprehensive recognition of geometric distortions. Furthermore, our research examines the impact of varying slope parameters during the classification process on the accuracy of distortion identification. This study addresses significant gaps in recognizing geometric distortions and lays a foundation for more precise SAR imagery analysis in complex geographic settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cellulose aerogels have great prospects for noise reduction applications due to their sustainable value and superior 3D interconnected porous structures. The drying principle is a crucial factor in the preparation process for developing high-performance aerogels, particularly with respect to achieving high acoustic absorption properties. In this study, multifunctional cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) aerogels were conveniently prepared using two distinct freeze-drying principles: refrigerator conventional freezing (RCF) and liquid nitrogen unidirectional freezing (LnUF). The results indicate that the rapid RCF process resulted in a denser CNC aerogel structure with disordered larger pores, causing a stronger compressive performance (Young's modulus of 40 kPa). On the contrary, the LnUF process constructed ordered structures of CNC aerogels with a lower bulk density (0.03 g/cm
3 ) and smaller apertures, resulting in better thermal stability, higher diffuse reflection across visible light, and especially increased acoustic absorption performance at low–mid frequencies (600–3000 Hz). Moreover, the dissipation mechanism of sound energy in the fabricated CNC aerogels is predicted by a designed porous media model. This work not only paves the way for optimizing the performance of aerogels through structure control, but also provides a new perspective for developing sustainable and efficient acoustic absorptive materials for a wide range of applications.

Soil water content is a critical environmental parameter in research and practice, though various technological and contextual constraints limit its estimation in arid areas with vegetation cover. This study combined the multitemporal remote sensing data of Sentinel-1 and Landsat 8 to conduct an inversion study on surface soil water content under low vegetation cover in Nagqu, central Tibetan Plateau. Four vegetation indices (NDVI, ARVI, EVI, and RVI) were extracted from optical remote sensing data. A water cloud model was used to eliminate the influence of the vegetation layer on the backscattering coefficient associated with vegetation cover, and a predictive model suitable for the Nagqu area was constructed. The water cloud model effectively incorporated a vegetation index instead of vegetation water content. We found that VV polarization was more suitable for soil water content inversion than VH polarization. Among the four vegetation indices, the soil water content inversion model constructed with RVI under VV polarization had the best fit (R
2 = 0.8212; RMSE = 6.30). The second-best fit was observed for vegetation water content-NDVI (R2 = 0.8201). The soil water content inversion models all had an R2 > 0.6, regardless of the vegetation index used, though the RVI had the best fitting effect, indicating that this vegetation index is highly applicable in the water cloud model, as a substitute for vegetation water content, and is expected to perform well in similar study sites.

The tropospheric delay caused by the temporal and spatial variation of meteorological parameters is the main error source in interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) applications for geodesy. To minimize the impact of tropospheric delay errors, it is necessary to select the appropriate tropospheric delay correction method for different regions. In this study, the interferogram results of the InSAR, corrected for tropospheric delay using the Linear, Generic Atmospheric Correction Online Service for InSAR (GACOS) and ERA-5 atmospheric reanalysis dataset (ERA5) methods, are presented for the study area of the junction of the Hengduan Mountains and the Yunnan–Kweichow Plateau, which is significantly influenced by the plateau monsoon climate. Four representative regions, Eryuan, Binchuan, Dali, and Yangbi, are selected for the study and analysis. The phase standard deviation (STD), phase–height correlation, and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data were used to evaluate the effect of tropospheric delay correction by integrating topographic, seasonal, and meteorological factors. The results show that all three methods can attenuate the tropospheric delay, but the correction effect varies with spatial and temporal characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Landslides are one of the most common geological disasters in China, characterized by suddenness and uncertainty. Traditional methods are not sufficient for the accurate identification, early warning, and forecasting of landslide disasters. As high-resolution remote sensing satellites and interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) surface deformation monitoring technology have been leaping forward, the traditional methods of landslide monitoring data sources are limited, and there have been few effective methods to excavate the characteristics of the spatial distribution of landslide hazards and their triggering factors, etc. In this study, an area extending 10 km from the VII isobar of the Gengma earthquake was taken as the study area, and 13 evaluation factors were screened out by integrating the factors of InSAR surface deformation, topography, and geological environment. Landslide susceptibility was evaluated through the Bayesian optimized convolutional neural network (BO-CNN), and the Bayesian optimized random forests (BO-RF) and particle swarm optimization support vector machines (PSO-SVM) models were selected for comparative analyses. The accuracy of the model was evaluated by using three indices, including the ROC curve, the AUC value, and the FR value. Specifically, the ROC curves of PSO-SVM, BO-RF, and BO-CNN were close to the upper-left corner, indicating excellent model performance. Moreover, the AUC values were computed as 0.9388, 0.9529, and 0.9535, respectively, and the FR value of landslides in the high susceptibility area of BO-CNN reached up to 14.9 and exceeded those of PSO-SVM and BO-RF, respectively. Furthermore, the mentioned values of the SVM and BO-RF models were 4.55 and 3.69 higher. The experimental results indicated that, compared with other models, the BO-CNN model used in this study had a better effect on landslide susceptibility evaluation, and the research results are of great significance to the disaster prevention and mitigation measures of local governments.

Zhaotong City in Yunnan Province is one of the largest apple growing bases in China. However, the terrain of Zhaotong City is complicated, and the rainy weather is more frequent, which brings difficulties to the identification of apple orchards by remote sensing. In this paper, an improved spectral angle feature is proposed by combining the Spectral Angle Mapper and Sentinel-1 data. Based on the Google Earth Engine and Sentinel image, a random forest classifier was used to extract apple orchards in the Ganhe Reservoir area, Zhaoyang District, Zhaotong City, which provides a theoretical basis for extracting the spatial distribution and sustainable development of the local apple industry. The classification results show that the improved spectral angle characteristics can improve the overall accuracy and F1 score of apple orchards. The RGB band combined with NDVI, GLCM, and improved spectral angle features obtained the most favorable results, and the F1 score and overall accuracy were 88.89% and 84.44%, respectively, which proved the reliability of the method in identifying apple orchards in Zhaotong City.

In order to fabricate steel foams with high porosity,uniform pore structure and high-performance, steel foams with different porosities and cell sizes were fabricated by a sintering-dissolution process using 316L stainless steel powder as raw material and CaCl2 as pore forming agent, and steel foam-sandwich panels were fabricated by physical bonding. Three-point bending tests were carried out to explore the bending performance of steel foam and steel foam-sandwich panels. The influence of the porosity and cell size of foam sample on the bending load was analyzed and discussed,and the bending strength of steel foam -sandwich panel was compared with steel foam sample. The results show that the bending deformation of steel foam is started at the weakest cell wall firstly,then the cracks are initiated and propagated,eventually the macroscopic fracture is caused. For steel foam-sandwich panels,the maximum load is reduced from 2345 N to 1254 N when the porosity is increased from 69.4% to 82.5%,whereas the maximum bending load of steel foam-sandwich panels is increased by 15%-43% with the same porosity. When the cell size is increased from 1.9 mm to 3.9 mm and the porosity is about 73%,the maximum bending load is reduced from 2070 N to 1528 N,whereas the maximum bending load of steel foam-sandwich panels is increased by 15%-28% with the same pore size. Under the same porosity and pore size,the steel foam-sandwich panels have excellent resistance to bending at least 15% higher than the steel foam.

To enhance the sound absorption performance of open‐cell aluminum foam, the double main pores‐porous cell walls (DMP‐PCW) aluminum foams via infiltration casting of preforms mixed with two sizes of NaCl particles are prepared. The pore structure, sound absorption performance, and mechanism of DMP‐PCW aluminum foam are investigated. The pore structure consists of double‐sized main pores similar to the NaCl particles and the cell wall pores formed by the connections between NaCl particles. It is found that the static flow resistivity of DMP‐PCW aluminum foam reaches an optimum value of 28105 Pa.s m−2 when the volume proportion of small main pores increases, the size of cell wall pores decreases, and the number of cell wall pores per unit main pore surface area (NPPA) increases. At 800–6300 Hz, the average absorption coefficient is 0.89. In addition, the Wilson model predicts the sound absorption properties of DMP‐PCW aluminum foam. The predicted values agree well with the measured values. The finite‐element acoustic simulations and dynamic viscous‐thermal permeability calculations reveal that the improved sound absorption performance of DMP‐PCW aluminum foam is correlated to the enhanced sound transmission caused by increased NPPA and increased viscous‐thermal loss due to the double main pore structure.

A new cooling crystallization method is applied to plate copper on SiCp. Cu(NO3)2·3H2O is crystallized on SiCp by decreasing the solution temperature, and is heat‐treated to obtain CuO coating which is finally reduced to copper coating. Based on the optimizing of SiCp content and CuO reduction temperature, the effects of copper plating on SiCp on the spreading and infiltration of AlSi12 alloy melt are studied. The results show that the optimum coating effect is achieved when the SiCp content is 11.63% and the reduction temperature of CuO is 475 °C. The spreading area of AlSi12 alloy melt on the 15 μm copper‐coated SiCp increases by 53.27% compared to the uncoated SiCp when holds at 950 °C for 20 min, indicating that copper plating has a significant improvement on the wettability of AlSi12 melt and SiCp. Additionally, infiltration preparation of copper‐plated SiCp/Al alloy composites is achieved at a pressure of 0.3 MPa, but not under pressureless conditions. The main reason for this is the granular Cu on SiCp cannot form a complete Cu film. Therefore, the formation of complete Cu films on SiCp is presumed to be an important development direction for solving the problem of infiltration preparing ultrathick SiCp/Al composites.

Spatial injection-based pansharpening methods are prone to spatial or spectral distortions in pansharpening images due to insufficient extraction of spatial details and a mismatch between the amount of spatial detail information injected and the required amount. To this end, this paper proposes a pansharpening method that optimizes spatial detail extraction and injection. Firstly, a method to optimize the amount of spatial detail injection is proposed, that is, to extract the high-frequency information of the image through iterative filtering and determine the optimal number of iterations based on the global analysis of the method. Then, to fully extract and combine the spatial detail information of the source image, the detailed high-frequency image extracted corresponding to the optimal iterative filtering times is decomposed by non-subsampled shearlet transform (NSST), and a new multi-scale sum-modified-Laplacian (NSML) as an external stimulus to a parameter-adaptive pulse-coupled neural network model (PAPCNN). A fusion rule based on multi-scale morphological gradients is designed to extract a small amount of detailed information for the low-frequency subband. The fused spatial detail image can be obtained by combining the fused low-frequency and high-frequency subbands and inverse NSST transformation. Finally, pansharpening can be realized by combining spatial detail image, injection coefficient, and MS image. In this paper, many experiments are carried out on the QuickBird, GeoEye-1, and WorldView-4 datasets, and quantitative and qualitative comparisons are made with eight advanced methods. Experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper can achieve better fusion results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Al-Ti-C-(Ce) grain refiners were prepared by combining in-situ reaction, hot extrusion, and adding CeO
2 . The effects of second phase TiC particle size and distribution, extrusion ratio, and Ce addition on the grain-refining performance of grain refiners were investigated. The results show that about 10 nm TiC particles are dispersed on the surface and inside of 100–200 nm Ti particles by in-situ reaction. The Al-Ti-C grain refiners, which are made, by hot extrusion, of a mixture of in-situ reaction Ti/TiC composite powder and Al powder, increase the effective nucleation phase of α-Al and hinder grain growth due to the fine and dispersed TiC; this results in the average size of pure aluminum grains to decrease from 1912.4 μm to 504.8 μm (adding 1 wt.% Al-Ti-C grain refiner). Additionally, with the increase of the extrusion ratio from 13 to 30, the average size of pure aluminum grains decreases further to 470.8 μm. This is because the micropores in the matrix of grain refiners are reduced, and the nano-TiC aggregates are dispersed with the fragmentation of Ti particles, resulting in a sufficient Al-Ti reaction and an enhanced nucleation effect of nano-TiC. Furthermore, Al-Ti-C-Ce grain refiners were prepared by adding CeO2 . Under the conditions of holding for 3–5 min and adding a 5.5 wt.% Al-Ti-C-Ce grain refiner, the average size of pure aluminum grains is reduced to 48.4–48.8 μm. The reason for the excellent grain-refining and good anti-fading performance of the Al-Ti-C-Ce grain refiner is presumedly related to the Ti2 Al20 Ce rare earth phases and [Ce] atoms, which hinder agglomeration, precipitation, and dissolution of the TiC and TiAl3 particles.

In this paper, a method for joint sea surface rainfall intensity (RI), wind speed, and wave height retrieval based on spaceborne global navigation satellite system reflectometry (GNSS-R) data is proposed, which especially considers the effects between these two parameters. A method of rainfall detection (RD) according to different wind speed ranges is also proposed by mitigating the impact of swell and wind speed. The results, with data collected over the oceans near Southeast Asia, show that the RD method has a detection accuracy of up to 81.74%. The RI retrieval accuracy can reach about 2 mm/h by simultaneously correcting the effects of wind speed and swell. The accuracy of wind speed retrieval is improved by about 5% after removing rainfall interference through RD in advance. After considering the influence of wind speed and eliminating rainfall interference, the retrieval accuracy of significant wave height (SWH) is improved by about 18%. Finally, the deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model is built to estimate the SWH of the swell. The results show that the retrieval accuracy of the swell height is better than 0.20 m after excluding rainfall interference. The proposed joint retrieval method provides an important reference for the future acquisition of multiple high-precision marine geophysical parameters by spaceborne GNSS-R technology.

During routine bridge maintenance, edge detection allows the partial condition of the bridge to be viewed. However, many edge detection methods often have unsatisfactory performances when dealing with images with complex backgrounds. Moreover, the processing often involves the manual selection of thresholds, which can result in repeated testing and comparisons. To address these problems in this paper, the wavelet transform modulus maxima method is used to detect the target image, and then the threshold value of the image can be determined automatically according to the OTSU method to remove the pseudo-edges. Thus, the real image edges can be detected. The results show that the information entropy and SSIM of the detection results are the highest when compared with the commonly used Canny and Laplace algorithms, which means that the detection quality is optimal. To more fully illustrate the advantages of the algorithms, images with more complex backgrounds were detected and the processing results of the algorithms in this paper are still optimal. In addition, the automatic selection of thresholds saves the operator's effort and improves the detection efficiency. Thanks to the combined use of the above two methods, detection quality and efficiency are significantly improved, which has a good application in engineering practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Tropospheric delay error must be reduced during interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) measurement. Depending on different geographical environments, an appropriate correction method should be selected to improve the accuracy of InSAR deformation monitoring. In this study, surface deformation monitoring was conducted in a high mountain gorge region in Yunnan Province, China, using Sentinel-1A images of ascending and descending tracks. The tropospheric delay in the InSAR interferogram was corrected using the Linear, Generic Atmospheric Correction Online Service for InSAR (GACOS) and ERA-5 meteorological reanalysis data (ERA5) methods. The correction effect was evaluated by combining phase standard deviation, semi-variance function, elevation correlation, and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) deformation monitoring results. The mean value of the phase standard deviation (Aver) of the linear correction interferogram and the threshold value (sill) of the semi-variogram were reduced by –20.98% and –41%, respectively, while the accuracy of the InSAR deformation points near the GNSS site was increased by 58%. The results showed that the three methods reduced the tropospheric delay error of InSAR deformation monitoring by different degrees in low-latitude mountains and valleys. Linear correction was the best at alleviating the tropospheric delay, followed by GACOS, while ERA5 had poor correction stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Spaceborne Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is a new remote sensing technology that uses GNSS signals reflected from the Earth's surface to estimate geophysical parameters. Because of its unique advantages such as high temporal and spatial resolutions, low observation cost, wide coverage and all-weather operation, it has been widely used in land and ocean remote sensing fields. Ocean wind monitoring is the main objective of the recently launched Cyclone GNSS (CYGNSS). In previous studies, wind speed was usually retrieved using features extracted from delay-Doppler maps (DDMs) and empirical geophysical model functions (GMFs). However, it is a challenge to employ the GMF method if using multiple sea state parameters as model input. Therefore, in this article, we propose an improved deep learning network framework to retrieve global sea surface wind speed using spaceborne GNSS-R data, named GloWS-Net. GloWS-Net considers the fusion of auxiliary information including ocean swell significant wave height (SWH), sea surface rainfall and wave direction to build an end-to-end wind speed retrieval model. In order to verify the improvement of the proposed model, ERA5 and Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform (CCMP) wind data were used as reference for extensive testing to evaluate the wind speed retrieval performance of the GloWS-Net model and previous models (i.e., GMF, fully connected network (FCN) and convolutional neural network (CNN)). The results show that, when using ERA5 winds as ground truth, the root mean square error (RMSE) of the proposed GloWS-Net model is 23.98% better than that of the MVE method. Although the GloWS-Net model and the FCN model have similar RMSE (1.92 m/s), the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of the former is improved by 16.56%; when using CCMP winds as ground truth, the RMSE of the proposed GloWS-Net model is 2.16 m/s, which is 20.27% better than the MVE method. Compared with the FCN model, the MAPE is improved by 17.75%. Meanwhile, the GloWS-Net outperforms the FCN, traditional CNN, modified CNN (MCNN) and CyGNSSnet models in global wind speed retrieval especially at high wind speeds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multi-temporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar (MT-InSAR) techniques analyze a study area using a set of SAR image data composed of time series, reaching millimeter surface subsidence accuracy. To effectively acquire the subsidence information in low-coherence areas without obvious features in non-urban areas, an MT-InSAR technique, called SqueeSAR, is proposed to improve the density of the subsidence points in the study area by fusing the distributed scatterers (DS). However, SqueeSAR filters the DS points individually during spatial adaptive filtering, which requires significant computer memory, which leads to low processing efficiency, and faces great challenges in large-area InSAR processing. We propose a spatially adaptive filtering parallelization strategy based on the Spark distributed computing engine in a Hadoop distributed cluster environment, which splits the different DS pixel point data into different computing nodes for parallel processing and effectively improves the filtering algorithm's performance. To evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method, we conducted a performance evaluation and accuracy verification in and around the main city of Kunming with the original Sentinel-1A SLC data provided by ESA. Additionally, parallel calculation was performed in a YARN cluster comprising three computing nodes, which improved the performance of the filtering algorithm by a factor of 2.15, without affecting the filtering accuracy.

Kunming city is located in the middle of Yunnan Province. Due to large-scale groundwater exploitation and urban development in recent years, this area has been affected by surface subsidence. In this paper, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data are used to monitor the surface subsidence in Kunming city area for better analysis and understanding. The study used data of Sentinel-1A from 2018 to 2020 with atmospheric correction based on GACOS to calculate the average annual subsidence rate in Kunming city area, and the results show that the maximum subsidence rate is 48 mm/year. The subsidence obtained by InSAR is compared with the vertical deformation information obtained by eight GNSS stations in continuous operation in the study area. The subsidence rate trend show by the two methods is consistent, which further verifies the validity of InSAR data to reflect the local deformation. Experimental results shown that the eastern and northeastern Dianchi lake areas were affected by underground resources mining, and the induced surface subsidence characteristics were obvious, with the surface subsidence rate reachde 48 mm/year and 37 mm/year respectively. The Kunyang Phosphate Mine also had different degrees of mining subsidence disaster, with the maximum subsidence rate reached 36 mm/year. The subsidence rate of InSAR and GNSS has the same trend on the whole. However, GNSS sites are generally located in stable areas, the settlement amount obtained in the same time period is somewhat different from that of InSAR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Time-series interferometric synthetic aperture radar (TS-InSAR) is often affected by tropospheric artifacts caused by temporal and spatial variability in the atmospheric refractive index. Conventional temporal and spatial filtering cannot effectively distinguish topography-related stratified delays, leading to biased estimates of the deformation phases. Here, we propose a TS-InSAR atmospheric delay correction method based on ERA-5; the robustness and accuracy of ERA-5 data under the influence of different atmospheric delays were explored. Notably, (1) wet delay was the main factor affecting tropospheric delay within the interferogram; the higher spatial and temporal resolution of ERA-5 can capture the wet delay signal better than MERRA-2. (2) The proposed method can mitigate the atmospheric delay component in the interferogram; the average standard deviation (STD) reduction for the Radarsat-2 and Sentinel-1A interferograms were 19.68 and 14.75%, respectively. (3) Compared to the empirical linear model, the correlation between the stratified delays estimated by the two methods reached 0.73. We applied this method for the first time to a ground subsidence study in the Yuxi Basin and successfully detected three subsidence centers. We analyzed and discussed ground deformation causes based on rainfall and fault zones. Finally, we verified the accuracy of the proposed method by using leveling monitoring data.

Shadow indexes can effectively and easily detect shadows in remote sensing images. Although various shadow indexes are used, there is no consensus regarding the optimal one. The evaluation criteria used to determine the performance of shadow indexes are relatively homogeneous. A multi-criteria evaluation of widely used shadow indexes is necessary to analyse the application performance of each index in different scenarios. The eight most common shadow indexes were selected for this study. In addition to the standard visual inspection and accuracy assessment criteria, the cosine of solar incidence (cosi) was introduced to evaluate the sensitivity of the indexes to illumination intensity. Furthermore, in order to evaluate the separability of shadows and confusable objects, the interquartile range (IQR) of shadows and confusable objects was used to calculate the 1.5IQR separation ratio (1.5IQRSR). The multi-scale evaluation included mountain and urban scenarios, with the sensitivity to illumination intensity used to assess mountain scenarios and the capacity to separate confusable objects used to assess urban scenarios. The results obtained for each evaluation criterion were aggregated to form the multi-criteria evaluation score of the shadow indexes. The results show that the combinational shadow index (CSI), shadow detector index (SDI), and shadow index (SI) perform relatively well for each evaluation criterion. SI and CSI had the highest shadow detection accuracy in mountain and urban areas, respectively. The shadow enhancement index (SEI) and CSI had relatively high sensitivity to illumination intensity, especially CSI. In addition, CSI has the highest water separability but low separability for blue and dark impervious surfaces. SDI and SI have high separability for confusable objects, but they are ineffective in separating water bodies and less sensitive to illumination intensity. In summary, CSI, SDI, and SI excel in many application contexts, whereas the performances of the remaining five indexes were similar in all respects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to prepare stainless steel foams (SSFs) with high specific strength, cost-effective performance, and multiple relative density ranges, this work used CaCl
2 as a space holder to prepare 304 and 430 SSF samples with different relative densities using the powder metallurgy method. The microstructure and the properties were compared and analyzed by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and a universal testing machine. The results show that the matrix of 304 SSFs is austenite and 430 is ferrite. In the quasi-static compression test, when the relative density was in the range of 0.33~0.12, their compressive strength increased with the relative density increasing; the maximum compressive strength of 304 SSFs reached 40.29 MPa and that of 430 SSFs was 49.79 MPa. While the compressive strength of 430 SSFs is significantly higher than 304 SSFs at a similar relative density, 304 SSFs show better stability in the plastic deformation stage. When the deformation reached densification, the maximum energy absorption value of 304 SSFs reached 15.94 MJ/m3 , while 430 SSFs was 22.70 MJ/m3 . The energy absorption value increased with the relative density increasing, and 430 SSFs exhibited a higher energy absorption capacity than 304 SSFs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

The existing neural network model in urban land-subsidence prediction is over-reliant on historical subsidence data. It cannot accurately capture or predict the fluctuation in the sequence deformation, while the improper selection of training samples directly affects its final prediction accuracy for large-scale urban land subsidence. In response to the shortcomings of previous urban land-subsidence predictions, a subsidence prediction method based on a neural network algorithm was constructed in this study, from a multi-factorial perspective. Furthermore, the scientific selection of a large range of training samples was controlled using a K-shape clustering algorithm in order to produce this high-precision urban land subsidence prediction method. Specifically, the main urban area of Kunming city was taken as the research object, LiCSBAS technology was adopted to obtain the information on the land-subsidence deformation in the main urban area of Kunming city from 2018–2021, and the relationship between the land subsidence and its influencing factors was revealed through a grey correlation analysis. Hydrogeology, geological structure, fault, groundwater, high-speed railways, and high-rise buildings were selected as the influencing factors. Reliable subsidence training samples were obtained by using the time-series clustering K-shape algorithm. Particle swarm optimization–back propagation (PSO-BP) was constructed from a multi-factorial perspective. Additionally, after the neural network algorithm was employed to predict the urban land subsidence, the fluctuation in the urban land-subsidence sequence deformation was predicted with the LSTM neural network from a multi-factorial perspective. Finally, the large-scale urban land-subsidence prediction was performed. The results demonstrate that the maximum subsidence rate in the main urban area of Kunming reached −30.591 mm ⋅ a − 1 between 2018 and 2021. Moreover, there were four main significant subsidence areas in the whole region, with uneven distribution characteristics along Dianchi: within the range of 200–600 m from large commercial areas and high-rise buildings, within the range of 400–1200 m from the under-construction subway, and within the annual average. The land subsidence tended to occur within the range of 109–117 mm of annual average rainfall. Furthermore, the development of faults destroys the stability of the soil structure and further aggravates the land subsidence. Hydrogeology, geological structure, and groundwater also influence the land subsidence in the main urban area of Kunming. The reliability of the training sample selection can be improved by clustering the subsidence data with the K-shape algorithm, and the constructed multi-factorial PSO-BP method can effectively predict the subsidence rate with a mean squared error (MSE) of 4.820 mm. The prediction accuracy was slightly improved compared to the non-clustered prediction. We used the constructed multi-factorial long short-term memory (LSTM) model to predict the next ten periods of any time-series subsidence data in the three types of cluster data (Cluster 1, Cluster 2, and Cluster 3). The root mean square errors (RMSE) were 0.445, 1.475, and 1.468 mm; the absolute error ranges were 0.007–1.030, 0–3.001, and 0.401–3.679 mm; the errors (mean absolute error, MAE) were 0.319, 1.214, and 1.167 mm, respectively. Their prediction accuracy was significantly improved, and the predictions met the measurement specifications. Overall, the prediction method proposed from the multi-factorial perspective improves large-scale, high-accuracy urban land-subsidence prediction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
