    To explore the application potential of airborne point cloud and UAV visible light image in tree species identification and classification, a single-tree scale tree species classification and recognition method based on UAV hybrid fusion of multi-modal features and decision was proposed. Firstly, Kendall Rank correlation coefficient method and Permutation Importance (PI) were used for feature selection, and Efficient Low-Rank Multi-Mode Fusion Algorithm (LMF) was used to fuse the selected point cloud and visible image features. Ensemble learning was introduced to input point cloud, image, and fusion features into eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), and Random Forest (RF) base classifiers integrated by Stacking. Finally, the meta classifier, Naive Bayes, is used for decision fusion. The experimental data show that the independent test accuracy of the proposed algorithm is 99.4%, which improves 22.58% compared with the Random Forest classifier by traditional feature concatenate fusion. In addition, the Kappa coefficient also increased by 28.54%. The comparison experiment with Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) shows that the proposed algorithm has obvious advantages in small sample training and better generalization ability.

    The Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) has been widely used in forest inventory. It is quite difficulty to describe the complex vertical structures of forest using the terrestrial or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) LiDAR or laser scanning, individually. The complete spatial structure of forest can be obtained by combing the Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and UAV Laser Scanning (ULS). The TLS and ULS point cloud were registered and fused to extract the trunks of individual trees. The random Hough transform was used to fit the point cloud of the trunk in segments. The taper equation was fitted using the diameters of trunk segments and the differential quadrature method was used to calculate the volumes of individual trees. The volumes of individual trees were accumulate to get plot volume. Compared with the calculated value of the binary volume model, the results showed that the accuracy of calculating the volume of individual tree based on the fusion point cloud was better than that of the terrestrial point cloud, the R2 can be increased by more than 2%, and the RMSE can be reduced by 0.01 m3. The R2 and RMSE were 0.98 and 0.87m3 for the plot volume, which calculated by the combination of taper equation and differential quadrature method. Among them, the R2 and RMSE of Cunninghamia lanceolata volume were 0.96 and 0.07 m3, for Eucalyptus, the R2 and RMSE were 0.93 and 0.07 m3. Among the three types of plots: easu, medium, and difficult, the volume R2 of Cunninghamia lanceolata and Eucalyptus in easy and medium plots were all above 0.94, the RMSE was about 0.07 m3, but the R2 of the volume results in difficult plot was below 0.9. The TLS and ULS fusion point cloud can more finely measure the forest spatial structure, and better meet the needs of forest resource survey applications.

    Vegetation phenology is an important biological indicator for monitoring terrestrial ecosystems and global climate change. The monitoring of land surface phenology based on classical remote sensing vegetation indices is more challenging in terms of accurate analysis of different vegetation types. Solar-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF) is more sensitive to the seasonal dynamics of vegetation and can more accurately portray the interannual variability of vegetation. Based on the 2001~2020 GOSIF dataset, this study extracted the vegetation phenology parameters in Northeast China by D-L fitting function and dynamic threshold method, combined with unitary linear regression analysis, stability and sustainability analysis, this study analyzed the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics, stability and sustainability of vegetation phenology in Northeast China from 2001 to 2020 at multiple spatiotemporal scales, and explored the response mechanism of vegetation phenology to climate change. The results showed that SOS, EOS, LOS, and POP showed advanced, delayed, prolonged and advanced, respectively. The trend of SOS advance and EOS delay in grassland was significant, and EOS of coniferous forests was advanced. The advance of SOS and the delay of EOS led to the prolongation of LOS. Except for coniferous forest, all vegetation types showed an extended trend of LOS. All vegetation types POP showed an advance trend, except for grassland and steppe. The changes of SOS, EOS, LOS and POP were relatively stable in the past 20 years, and the coefficients of variation were all less than 0.1. The H values of SOS, EOS, LOS and POP in most regions ranged between 0.35 and 0.5, indicating that the trend was opposite to the past and would show a slight trend of delay, advance, shortening and delay. Overall, the influence mechanism of temperature and precipitation was opposite on vegetation phenology, that is, higher temperature (increased precipitation) led to advance (delay) of SOS and POP, delay (advance) of EOS, and lengthen (shorten) of LOS. There was a negative correlation between relative humidity and vegetation phenological parameters. The results of this study help to understand the spatiotemporal pattern changes of photosynthesis in vegetation and the response mechanism to climate change, and also provide reference for the assessment and management of ecological environment in Northeast China.

    The Gaofen-6 medium resolution wide-width camera (GF6-WFV) is designed with two red-edge bands, which has the potential to monitor chlorophyll a concentration in water. In this study, six typical lakes in eastern China, including Guanting Reservoir, Luhun Reservoir and Baiyangdian Lake, were selected as the study area, and measured spectrum and chlorophyll a concentration data were obtained from 141 sampling points. Based on the measured data, the parameters of four kinds of commonly used semi-empirical inversion models of chlorophyll a concentration were optimized and the model accuracy verified, and the optimal inversion model was selected. The results show that the red edge band Ⅰ (B5:710 nm) and red band (B3: 660 nm) are newly added in GF6-WFV data. Which construct a two-band ratio 2BDA model with high inversion accuracy, correlation coefficient square (R2) is 0.89, the Mean Relative Error (MRE) is 34.71 %, and the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is 13.29 mg/m3. The results show that the chlorophyll a concentration in water body can be effectively retrieved by using GF6-WFV image data. The inversion model of chlorophyll a concentration in water body established in this paper based on multi-lake and multi-temporal data has good applicability in typical lake repositories in eastern China.

    From text analysis to image interpretation, the Topic Model (TM) consistently plays a pivotal role. With its robust semantic mining capabilities, topic model can effectively capture latent spectral and spatial information from Remote Sensing (RS) images. Recent years have seen the widespread adoption of topic models to address challenges in RS image interpretation, including semantic segmentation, target detection, and scene classification. Thus, clarifying and summarizing the present application status of topic models in remote sensing imagery is pivotal for advancing remote sensing image interpretation technology. This paper initially presents the foundational theory of topic models, followed by a systematic overview of their typical applications in remote sensing imagery. In addition, experimental comparisons and analyses are performed across various typical remote sensing image interpretation tasks, illustrating the extensive applicability of topic models in the realm of remote sensing and the efficacy of distinct topic models in enhancing our comprehension of remote sensing imagery. Subsequently, we have outlined the limitations of topic models and explored the potential and prospects of integrating them with deep learning.

    Forest is a valuable non-renewable resource, but the ecological environment of forest is seriously threatened by many natural or man-made factors such as fire, flood, and deforestation interference. Accurate grasp of forest resource changes can provide effective information for forest resource management and protection. In the task of forest change detection, traditional machine learning change detection methods have difficulty in capturing deep semantic information due to large differences in forest categories and tree species, and suffer from poor adaptability of extracted features, weak recognition ability, and pseudo-change due to seasonal phases. We propose to build a deep learning model with Siamese neural networks for forest change detection experiments. Three different feature extraction methods, ResNet50 (Residual neural network), CBAM (Convolutional Block Attention Module) and SE (Squeeze and Excitation) with different lightweight attention mechanisms are used as backbone feature extraction modules, respectively. All three backbone feature extraction networks are trained based on pre-trained weights, which improve change detection by fusing the extracted multi-scale feature maps so that the coarse and fine details of information in different feature maps complement each other. It also has the advantage of sharing weights with the same number of parameters. Taking Jiande Forest Farm in Zhejiang province as the experimental area, two phases of GF-2 images in 2015 and 2020 are acquired to construct a forest change detection dataset with a resolution of 1m. The results of Siamese neural network change detection are compared with the true change labels (Ground truth), where the backbone feature extraction network SE-ResNet50 has the best combined results with Precision (0.91), Recall (0.78) and F1-score (0.83), which is better than mainstream change detection models FC-Siam-conc, FC-Siam-diff. It is proved that Siamese neural networks can accurately capture forest changes in the task of forest lad change detection from high-resolution remote sensing images, and provide a new forest change detection method for forest resource management departments.

    Mangrove forests are among the ecosystems with the highest net primary productivity in the world, and they play an important role in the study of global climate change and the evolution of coastal zone geography. Rapid and accurate acquisition of the spatial distribution of mangroves on a large scale is vital for effectively managing and exploiting mangrove resources. Landsat satellite images have become an important data source for extracting large-scale and long-period mangrove distribution information. Yingluo Bay and Pearl Bay along the coast of Guangxi, China are selected as the study sites in this study. Landsat-8 OLI images are used to construct five indices to extract the distribution of mangroves, including Normalized Difference Mangrove Index (NDMI), Combined Mangrove Recognition Index (CMRI), Modular Mangrove Recognition Index (MMRI), Mangrove Index (MI) and Mangrove Vegetation Index (MVI). This study compared the efficiency of different indices used for mangrove extraction to determine the optimal mangrove extraction index. Optimizing the mangrove distribution information extraction is proposed by combining Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) index. The aim is administrator improve the remote sensing classification accuracy of mangroves. It is also applied to the extraction of coastal mangroves in Guangxi. The results showed that: Mangrove distribution can be effectively extracted based on Landsat-8 OLI satellite images and index method. By comparing the extraction accuracy of five indices of mangroves, we found that the MVI has the best extraction effect and the CMRI has the worst extraction effect. The combination of NDWI can better optimize the extraction accuracy of mangroves, and the optimized MVI applied to Guangxi coastal mangroves showed the best extraction results with an overall accuracy of 97.10%. The research strategy and the range of mangrove index thresholds in this paper can provide reference and decision support for large-scale mangrove distribution extraction.

    Object recognition technology based on high-resolution remote sensing images is widely used in the fields of land and resource monitoring and intelligence collection. Accurate and fast object detection methods are the hot spots and difficulties in the current research on remote sensing images. However, the current detection methods overly pursue improving detection accuracy while ignoring detection speed. Therefore, an improved lightweight network is proposed based on YOLOX to balance detection speed and accuracy. Firstly, for the backbone of feature extraction, a Mobilenetv3tiny is proposed to improve the detection speed by reducing the parameters of the network. Secondly, the Ghost is introduced into the feature pyramid networks to reduce the complexity of the network under the premise of ensuring detection accuracy. Finally, Alpha-IoU and VariFocal_Loss are used to optimize the loss function to improve the convergence speed and positioning accuracy of the network. The ablation experiment was carried out on the NWPU VHR-10 dataset. The results show that, compared with the baseline, the improved network has a detection accuracy increase of 0.76%, a speed increase of 19.72%, a weight of 11 M (Mega), and a parameter reduction of 65.66%. The overall effect of the improved network is better. In addition, comparative experiments on the DIOR dataset show that the detection speed is improved by 26.88% while ensuring high detection accuracy. And that proves the effectiveness of the improved network. Therefore, the improved network can effectively balance detection speed and accuracy and is easy to deploy, which makes it suitable for real-time detection of remote sensing image targets.

    Remote sensing technology has played an important role in the emergency response of major natural disasters. However, the existing global emergency response mechanism based on remote sensing data still has problems such as insufficient data sharing, complex start-up procedures, and low response efficiency. It is urgent to establish an efficient, stable and sustainable remote sensing disaster emergency mechanism. This paper systematically reviews the value of multi-source remote sensing data in disaster emergency response and the shortcomings of the current international emergency response mechanism for major natural disasters. Based on the shared resource database of large-scale multi-source remote sensing data and the one-stop service collaboration method, the theoretical framework of China GEO Collaborative network of Disaster Data Response (CDDR) mechanism is proposed. It has also been applied in emergency response to disasters such as Tonga volcanic eruption and Turkey earthquake. Through two representative application cases, it can be seen that the mechanism has improved the efficiency of disaster emergency response services from various aspects such as data collection, download, analysis and application, and effectively supplemented the shortcomings of the existing mechanism. The new mechanism has simplified start-up procedures, enhanced data aggregation capabilities, more professional disaster assessment capabilities, and more accurate sharing capabilities, which is expected to provide stable and sustainable sharing services for the international community.

In order to solve these problems, this study customized the bands for inland water quality monitoring for the Aerospace ShuWei KP-8 multispectral camera with high pixel, including 670 and 700 nm bands for inland water chlorophyll a retrieval; Then, a flight experiment was carried out to obtain the multispectral image of the turbid and eutrophic Luhun Reservoir. And the synchronously obtained water quality parameters from the water surface experiment were used to build the retrieval models of the typical water quality parameters, including the Secchi-disk depth, turbidity, suspended solids and chlorophyll a concentration; The retrieval models were applied to the multispectral image, and the typical water quality parameters in Luhun Reservoir were retrieved and their spatial distribution rules were analyzed. The results show that the UAV based high pixel multispectral camera has important potential in the operational monitoring of inland water environment.

    The use of UAV hyperspectral remote sensing data technology to quickly and accurately extract typical grassland vegetation types is of great significance for dynamic monitoring of grassland ecological security.In the typical grassland area of Baiyinxile pasture with severe degradation, hyperspectral images with a spatial resolution of 1.8 cm and a spectral resolution of 4 nm, with a total of 125 bands (450 nm to 950 nm) were collected. The main degradation indicator species, Artemisia cholerae, was selected as the identification target, and after differential transformation, envelope removaland other spectral transformations, the differences in spectral characteristics were analyzed. There are obvious spectral differences at 500 nm、550 nm、670 nm, so the above three bands were selected as characteristic bands, and the degradation indicator species identification model of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) was constructed, and the accuracy was verified. The results show that the recognition accuracy of SVM and RF are 96.92%和97.34%, respectively, and the Kappa coefficients are 0.95 and 0.96, respectively. It can be seen from the results that the identification accuracy of the random forest model is higher, and the pixel spatial distribution of degraded indicator species is closer to the natural state, which can provide technical support for monitoring typical grassland degradation indicator species.

    With the rapid development of earth observation technology, high-resolution remote sensing image change detection has become a research hotspot in the remote sensing domain. The increase in spatial resolution brings rich spatial information, but also leads to the problem of "pseudo-change" caused by the change of the spectrum and other performance characteristics, which does not change due to phenological differences. Morphological Attribute Profiles (MAPs), as an efficient spatial information modeling method, can accurately describe complex change characteristics from different attributes and multiple scales, and have been widely used in the field of change detection tasks. Nevertheless, the existing MAPs methods usually do not consider the properties and scale balance of the differential profile, so they are prone to fall into local optimum; at the same time, the effective fusion of differential features into change detection results is another difficult problem faced by such methods. To this end, this paper proposes a change detection method that combines adaptive MAPs with decision fusion. Firstly, the initial differential feature set is extracted by CVA on the MAPs; On this basis, a Balanced Optimal Objective Function (BOF) is designed to extract the optimal differential feature set; Finally, based on the proposed change intensity evidence index (EVI) and evidence confidence index (IOEC), a multi-feature decision fusion framework is constructed to obtain change detection results. The experimental results show that the Overall Accuracy (OA) and F1 score (F1) of the proposed method can reach 96.41% and 88.67%, respectively. which are significantly better than the comparison methods in both visual analysis and quantitative evaluation. especially for the "pseudo-variation" proposed in this paper. Compared with the comparison method, the method in this paper can realize more accurate discrimination and effectively alleviate the "pseudo change".

    The concentration of chlorophyll-a is a key indicator for evaluating the eutrophication of coastal water, and the research on the influencing factors of coastal chlorophyll-a is significant to marine environmental protection. However, the existing studies mostly focus on the effect of natural factors on the concentration of chlorophyll-a in coastal waters, ignoring the human activities. Therefore, this paper uses nighttime light brightness to characterize the intensity of human activities, and divides cities on the southeastern coast into three types based on its relationship with coastal chlorophyll-a concentration, and also combines sea surface temperature, wind speed, solar radiation, precipitation and human factors, using the Generalized Additive Model (GAM) to analyze the impact of multiple factors on coastal chlorophyll-a concentration in three types of cities in different seasons. The results show that the change of chlorophyll-a concentration was dominated by natural factors in type I cities such as Fuzhou and Shantou, the dominant factor in spring is wind speed, and the sea surface temperature in summer, autumn and winter; while human activities have little effect. Type II cities such as Zhuhai and Dongguan are dominated by natural factors. The dominant factor is wind speed in spring, autumn and winter, and the sea surface temperature in summer; human activities have a greater promoting effect in summer and autumn. Type III cities such as Shenzhen and Hongkong are dominated by human factors. Human activities have the greatest impact on chlorophyll-a concentration in spring, summer and autumn and they are a negatively correlated. In winter, sea surface temperature has the greatest impact.

    Compared with the traditional manual field survey method, the use of UAV tilt photogrammetry technology for multiangle photography to extract individual tree crown information has the advantages of high efficiency, accuracy and low cost. In this study, an individual tree crown extraction method combined with a visible vegetation index and watershed algorithm was proposed by taking a larch near-mature forest in the Wangyedian forest farm in southwestern Karaqin Banner, Chifeng city, Inner Mongolia, as the research object and using UAV images obtained by tilt photogrammetry as the data source. First, the Excess Green minus Excess Red (ExGR) in the visible light band was calculated by a digital orthophoto model. The median filter was used to denoise the tree crown area map, and a reasonable threshold was selected to binarize the image to separate the vegetation and non-vegetation areas. Vegetation areas were used to mask the canopy height model. Finally, the accuracy of individual tree crowns was verified by the watershed segmentation algorithm. In the process of extracting the crown area, vegetation and non-vegetation areas are successfully separated based on the ExGR index and threshold method. Through median filtering, speckle and noise caused by uneven brightness, shadow and texture in the non-vegetation area are effectively removed, the integrity of the crown edge and the connectivity of the crown are ensured, and the over segmentation phenomenon of the watershed algorithm is reduced. At the individual tree scale, the accuracy rate of crown parameter information extraction was 88.72% and 79.38%, the recall rate was 93.29% and 88.60%, and the F-score was 90.59% and 83.74%. On the sample plot scale, the relative errors are 15.45% and 22.92% respectively. The results show that the visible vegetation index based on Digital Orthophoto Image can effectively eliminate the influence of bare land and other background factors in the forest, and the watershed segmentation algorithm based on the canopy height model can accurately distinguish individual tree information. The combination of the two data sources based on the UAV tilt photogrammetry technology gives full play to their respective advantages. The method of extracting the single tree crown information based on the UAV tilt photogrammetry technology is feasible and can extract the single tree crown information of the forest with high canopy density efficiently and accurately.

    China's coastal areas are not only the most strongly interacting zones extending from land to sea, but also the natural spatial units on the surface of the earth affected by runoff, tides and the effects of human activities and climate change. In this paper, using with the 2003~2018 high quality temporal resolution Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Near Surface Air Temperature (NSAT) products, the spatial and temporal distribution pattern and synergy of urban heat islands and urban heat waves in coastal cities in China are systematically compared. The results show that: (1) Extreme high temperature events in China's coastal regions show a trend of increasing intensity and duration. Specifically, the intensity of urban heat islands in summer is as high as 2.25 ℃, the average heatwave frequency based on ground temperature in the entire coastal area is 24.59 times, and the temperature-based heat wave frequency is 16.33 times, accounting for 90.81% and 96.68% of the annual heat wave frequency, respectively; (2) The frequency of urban heat waves and urban heat island intensity is significantly positively correlated in the North Temperate Zone and North Subtropical Zone along the coast, and is most obvious in the North Temperate Zone. An increase of 1°C in average LST can lead to an average increase in heat wave events twice. Among them, the heat wave frequency in the North Temperate Zone increased the fastest in the three major regions, and the compound growth rate of heat wave frequency based on LST and NSAT exceeded 5%; (3) From 2003 to 2018, the urban population of China's coastal regions increased by 59%, and the number of people affected by heat waves increased by nearly 370%, exceeding 5% of the total urban population (about 40 million people). Although the urban thermal environment in China's coastal regions and the El Niño and La Niña phenomena in the sea show a more consistent distribution in time and space, how the overall urban change and population growth promote the change of high temperature and thermal environment patterns in different regions still need to be further discussed and analysed using longer time series and high spatial and spatial resolution data.

    Monitoring the dynamic changes of water area in Dongting Lake is of great significance for flood control, ecosystem stability and biodiversity. The deep learning algorithm represented by the classic Unet the innovative HRNet has become an efficient way to obtain remote sensing image information. Taking Sentinel-1A SAR image as the main data source, this paper qualitatively and quantitatively analyzes the water extraction results of SDWI index method (Sentinel-1 Dual-Polarized Water Index,SDWI), object-oriented classification method, UNet network model and HRNet network model. Based on the best water extraction method, the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of water area in the flood season (April to October) of Dongting Lake from 2016 to 2021 are analyzed. The results show that : ① The deep learning algorithm represented by HRNet and Unet has better water extraction effect than traditional methods. Among them, HRNet has superior performance in noise suppression and shadow resistance, and the F1 score, MRate and MIoU are 0.961 6, 0.007 8 and 0.958 6, respectively. ② During the flood season, the water area of Dongting Lake shows the characteristics of “ increase-full-decrease ” in the monthly variation. The lake surface begins to expand from April to May, and the water area maintained at a high level from June to August. Since then, due to the decrease of inflow, the water area gradually decreases from September to October. The 2 263.90 km2 at July 30, 2020 is the largest water area monitored during the study period. ③ The submerged frequency of water body in flood season of Dongting Lake gradually decreases from the center of the lake body and the main stream. The distribution patterns of submerged frequency in different lake areas are different. The submerged frequency of East Dongting Lake is higher than that of South Dongting Lake and West Dongting Lake. In summary, the combination of Sentinel-1A SAR image and deep learning technology can realize the efficient acquisition of water information and high-frequency monitoring of the water surface area at Dongting Lake, providing a new idea for the high dynamic lake water monitoring.

    As a "New Blue Ocean" for urban consumption to increase employment, boost consumption and drive regional development, the night economy has gradually become a research hotspot in the "Post-Pandemic era". The “nighttime economic agglomeration center” is the core and foundation of the nighttime economic development, and there is no systematic studies available at home and abroad. As a social economic element, it has the characteristics of non-uniform symmetry and "grey clustering", so it cannot simply apply the traditional geographical clustering center identification method. Based on the theory of "point-axis system", this paper proposes a method to identify and extract the nighttime economic agglomeration centers, and uses the Geo-information Tupu of generalized symmetric to deconstruct the spatial pattern and differentiation mechanism of the nighttime economic agglomeration centers in downtown Shanghai. For the first time, this paper provides a systematic method reference for rapidly and accurately identifying the nighttime economic agglomeration centers and scientifically exploring their spatial distribution characteristics, and provides decision support for promoting the prosperity and sustainable development of nighttime economy. The results show that: within the central city of Shanghai, a total of 12 first-class nighttime economic agglomeration centers and 26 second-class nighttime economic agglomerations were extracted, and the average vitality values of the night-time economy were: 0.49 and 0.24, respectively. Conclusions (1) The method proposed in this paper can quickly identify and extract nighttime economic agglomeration centers; (2) The Shanghai nighttime economic agglomeration centers present a "center-periphery" spatial distribution pattern, forming a distinct hierarchical system; (3) The degree of infrastructure perfection and the distance from the city center are the main driving factors for the differentiation of Shanghai nighttime economic agglomeration; (4) The "Color Symmetry" distribution spatial pattern of the agglomeration center indicates that the night economy of Shanghai in a reasonable and sustainable development stage. In the future planning,it can be expanded and filled internally along Metro Line 2. The central connecting line of the agglomeration symmetry can also be used as the development axis to upgrade the nighttime economic agglomeration effect in the form of "Agglomeration Area".

    The estimation of rice leaf nitrogen content is important to achieve the goals of high rice yield and efficient fertilization in the field. In this paper, we propose a Particle Swarm Optimization-Deep Forest (PSO-DF) model-based method for estimating the nitrogen content of rice leaves, which determines the number of estimation layers in the optimal cascade and the optimal estimator in the Deep Forest (DF) model parameters by a particle swarm optimization algorithm. The number of trees in the optimal estimator is determined by the particle swarm optimization algorithm to improve the regression accuracy of the DF model on Rice datasets.To verify the effectiveness of PSO-DF, this paper used an unmanned aircraft with a hyperspectral image collector to obtain hyperspectral images of Ningxia japonica rice, and sampled, measured, and analyzed the rice leaves at the same period, and extracted the three feature bands with the highest correlation coefficients with rice leaf nitrogen content, which were used as spectral features for inversion with rice nitrogen content data, and compared PSO-DF, the original model DF, and six other common The rice nitrogen content estimation models constructed by machine learning algorithms were compared. The results show that the model constructed by the PSO-DF algorithm outperforms the other models, and its R2 and RMSE indexes are significantly better than those of the other models.

    Leaf Area Index(LAI) is an important indicator to reflect the growth state of crops, which is usually estimated by vegetation index. Traditional inversion models are mostly based on multivariate regression models, while the potential of multivariate regression models based on bivariates in LAI inversion has not been fully explored. By extracting the spectral features and texture features of satellite images, the correlation between each remote sensing feature and winter wheat LAI was analyzed based on Pearson correlation coefficient. Using Simple Regression model (SR), Multiple Linear Regression model (MLR) and Random Forest Regression model (RFR), the relationship between remote sensing characteristics and LAI of winter wheat was studied. The inversion accuracy of each inversion model was determined by the accuracy index (determination coefficient R2, root mean square error RMSE, relative root mean square error rRMSE). Based on the above evaluation indicators, the optimal inversion model was proposed. The results showed: (1) All vegetation indexes and some texture indexes have achieved good inversion results in LAI inversion (R2>0.6). Among them, the Universal Normalized Vegetation Index performed the best among all vegetation indices (R2=0.754,RMSE=0.606,rRMSE=12.99%). Except for the mean feature inversion accuracy of some bands that is comparable to vegetation index, the accuracy of most texture feature inversion for the winter wheat LAI is poor; (2) The bivariate multivariate linear regression model with the highest LAI inversion accuracy for winter wheat was obtained through bivariate combination (R2=0.780,RMSE=0.573,rRMSE=12.29%); (3)In the case of multiple input variables (at least 3 feature variables), RFR performed better than MLR. Compared to texture features, the inversion performance of texture indices was better. The research results can provide a new approach and method for monitoring large-scale crop LAI based on satellite imagery in the future.

    Quickly and accurately obtaining information on the area of special plant planting plots is of great significance for drug production estimation and prevention of drug criminal activities. Aiming at the problem that existing special plant planting plot detection algorithms in high-resolution remote sensing images cannot quickly obtain location information and area information at the same time, this paper proposes an improved PSPNet semantic segmentation model suitable for quickly and accurately extracting certain special plant planting plots. . By introducing the channel attention SE module, the problem of holes in the segmentation of a certain special plant planting plot is solved. The Dice Loss loss function is added to improve the problem of imbalance of positive and negative samples. The encoder-decoder structure is introduced to make the extracted special plant planting Lot outline boundaries are more precise. By using the MobileNetv2 backbone network, the model prediction speed is increased by 90%. The improved I-PSPNet model achieved 95% and 84% MPA and 84% MIoU in the extraction of a special plant planting plot, and the detection efficiency reached 84 fps. Comparative experiments between I-PSPNet and UNet, Deeplabv3+, and PSPNet show that the prediction accuracy and speed of the improved model are better than the above three models. Among them, MPA increased by 24%, 7.4%, and 7.7%, and MIoU increased by 24%, 7.4%, and 7.7%. 19%, 4.3% and 4.9%, predicted speed improvements of 57 fps, 56 fps and 40 fps. At the same time, the improved model also has good applicability to RGB band data sets and GF-2 images. The improved model proposed in this article can be used to quickly and accurately obtain the location information and area information of a special plant planting plot, and help the anti-drug department quickly discover the illegal planting of a special plant planting plot, objectively assess the scale of illegal planting, and implement precise crackdowns on illegal drug and criminal activities.

    MODIS time series surface reflectance data is widely used in the dynamic monitoring of land surface, but the influence of factors such as cloud cover causes spatial and temporal gaps in the data, which affects the data availability. In this paper, we propose a time-domain reconstruction method based on L1 regularization, which can effectively repair the gaps in MODIS surface reflectance data and realize the reconstruction of long time-series data with high accuracy. The proposed method firstly identifies the noise generated by natural and systematic factors in the time-series data, and then pre-fills the missing information region inter-annually based on noise detection. On this basis, we introduce a L1 regularization model that is more robust to abrupt noise, and construct a variational model combining the noise masks to restore the time series trend of land surface. The experimental results show that compared with SG filtering, HP filtering, L1 filtering and HANTS, the method in this paper achieves the highest reconstruction accuracy at different percentages of missing pixels of 10%, 25%, 50% and 75%, and also achieves better reconstruction results under different ground surface scenes. Therefore, this method has more advantages in both time series curves reconstruction and spatial details restoration, which shows a high practical value.

    Grassland is crucial to the ecosystem stability and agricultural development. In semi-arid or arid areas, the problem of insufficient water for grass growth is mainly solved by irrigation, but grasslands with irrigation conditions are limited. At present, there are few researches on the monitoring of irrigation and rain-fed grassland resources and their spatial-temporal distribution using remote sensing techniques, and the relevant datasets are extremely lacking, which brings inconvenience to the assessment of water resources in areas where irrigation and rain-fed grasslands coexist and land surface process simulation. Therefore, this study used the Google Earth Engine Calculation Cloud Platform (Google Earth Engine, GEE), called the Sentinel-2 satellite remote sensing image of 2020, selected random forest classification method (Random Forest, RF), added vegetation moisture index, extracted irrigated and rain fed grassland in the middle and lower reaches of the Bayin River in the northeast of the Qaidam Basin, and formed a dataset. After verification, the overall accuracy of this data set was 99%, and the Kappa coefficient was 0.84. The area of irrigated grass was 74.23 km2, accounting for 4.1% of the total grassland area in the middle and upper reaches of the Bayin River. This data set accurately reflected the interlaced distribution characteristics of irrigated grassland, cultivated land, wetland and other types of land. This study can support the water resources planning and evaluation, land surface process simulation, etc. in the Bayin River Basin.

    Rice-fish co-culture, as a model of modern ecological cycle agricultural, with significant social, economic, and ecological benefits on ensuring stable food production, reducing pollution, improving soil fertility, and lowering CH4 emissions. Therefore, obtaining information on distribution and area of rice-fish fields by using remote sensing technology, is helpful in enhancing the level of agricultural digital management and improving the efficiency of resource utilization efficiency. In this study, we selected the typical rice-crayfish model in the Chengdu Plain for remote sensing identification. First, the time-series data of Sentinel-1 VH polarization backscatter coefficients from 2019~2021 were collected and preprocessed in the Google Earth Engine, to reduce the noise of SAR time-series data. Then the time-series characteristics of typical ground objects were analyzed, including rice-crayfish fields, paddy fields, lotus root fields, orchards, traditional aquaculture, etc, and the characteristic parameters statistical of the backscatter coefficients time-series were statistically analyzed. Finally, the information of rice- crayfish fields, rice fields and lotus root fields were extracted by the classification method of random forest. The results showed that the backscattering coefficients of rice-crayfish fields exhibited typical time-series variation characteristics. Specifically, the annual variation trend of backscattering coefficients began with a smooth transition at low value, then increased rapidly, and finally decreased sharply to low value, due to the state of rice-crayfish fields changed from water body to vegetation and then back to water body. Moreover, the range of coefficient variation and the time of curve peak were significantly different from paddy fields and lotus root fields, respectively. The overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient based on random forest classification were 94.32% and 0.91, respectively. This suggested that time-series data of Sentinel-1 can effectively identify rice-crayfish fields in cloudy regions. The results can provide a reference for remote sensing identification of rice-crayfish fields in cloudy areas.

    The high spatial and temporal resolution Sentinel-2 images are increasingly becoming the primary remote sensing data source for surface water extraction.A comparative study of the extraction effects of various water index methods based on this satellite image is a significant reference value for improving surface water’s remote sensing monitoring capability. In this study, the seven water indexes (NDWI, MNDWI, AWEInsh, AWEIsh, WI2015, CDWI and MNDWI_VIs) are used to extract surface water from four sample areas with different combinations of surface water types in North China, Northeast China, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Northwest China.The water indexes’ accuracy is quantified using Sentinel-2 MSI images on the GEE (Google Earth Engine) platform. The results show that, all seven water indexes generally can identify surface water well, but there are some differences in performance when extracting different types of surface water bodies; the NDWI index underestimate the distribution of surface water in transient water bodies (e.g., paddy fields, floodplains, etc.) and have a high miss-score speed; while the AWEInsh, AWEIsh and WI2015 indexes have an overall tendency to overestimate and have a high miss-score rate; the MNDWI_VIs water index maintains the highest extraction accuracy in areas with complex water index; in the field of monitoring water changes in long time series, the performance of the seven water bodies is generally consistent with the conclusions obtained based on single-view imagery. This study provides an essential scientific basis for carrying out surface water monitoring in different water bodies.

    The extreme drought disaster in Jiangxi Province in 2022 severely affected the growth and yield of citrus. It is of great significance to use remote sensing technology to assess the degree of drought damage quickly and accurately for reducing losses of citrus planting and subsequent stabilize yield. The citrus planting areas of Jiangxi Province were identified and extracted by using the 2022 Landsat remote sensing image data, the land use type data of Jiangxi Province, and the Google Earth citrus supervised classification sample point data. On this basis, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Land Surface Temperature(LST) of the key growth period (June-October) of citrus in Jiangxi Province were calculated by using the MODIS data products of 2021 and 2022, which used for joint inversion of Temperature-Vegetation Drought Index(TVDI). Combined with the citrus planting area data of Jiangxi Province Statistical Yearbook and field survey data, the economic losses caused by extreme drought in 2022 in Jiangxi Province were quantitatively assessed under four cases. The results showed as follows: (1) The average TVDI of citrus planting areas in Jiangxi Province from June to October in 2021 and 2022 were 0.83 and 0.62, respectively, and drought stress increased significantly in 2022; (2) Severe drought accounted for 66.1% and moderate drought accounted for 33.7% in the citrus planting area of Jiangxi Province from June to October 2022, and the spatial distribution of drought was more severe in northern Jiangxi Province than in southern Jiangxi Province. (3) From early July to early November 2022, TVDI of citrus planting areas in Jiangxi Province remained above 0.8 for a long time, which was characterized by severe drought. This period coincided with the key growth period of citrus and had a great impact on citrus growth. (4) In 2022, the average reduction rate of citrus yield in Jiangxi Province reached 58.2%, and the economic loss of citrus planting showed an increasing trend from north to south. The direct economic loss of southern, central, and northern Jiangxi Province were 4.964 billion yuan, 4.517 billion yuan, and 1.984 billion yuan, respectively. The research results are helpful for the government to quickly find out the disaster situation of citrus farmers in Jiangxi Province, and provide a certain basis for the decision of citrus planting drought relief, loss reduction, and yield guarantee of citrus planting in the future.

    AW3D30 DEM data is one of the most widely used basic geographic information data, and its accuracy directly affects the reliability and rigor of a series of derivative products. Therefore, the accuracy validation and improvement of AW3D30 DEM data has always been a research hotspot.. However, conventional high-precision verification data are difficult to obtain and expensive to apply in a wide range of research areas. With global coverage and sub-meter elevation accuracy, ICESat-2 data can provide reliable reference data source for AW3D30 DEM data accuracy validation and improvement. Therefore, this paper takes Henan Province as the study area, and uses ICESat-2 data to validate the elevation accuracy of AW3D30 DEM from the perspective of slope, aspect, geomorphic type and land use type and proposes the Random Forest-Long Short Term Memory Network(RF-LSTM) hybrid model to improve AW3D30 DEM. The results show that the elevation accuracy of AW3D30 DEM decreases with the increase of slope, elevation and topographic relief. The slope direction has less influence on AW3D30 DEM’s elevation accuracy, and the error distribution has no obvious regularity. The accuracy is higher in bare land and cultivated land, and worse in woodland land. The RF-LSTM hybrid model can significantly reduce the mean absolute error and root mean square error of AW3D30 DEM, improve the accuracy of AW3D30 DEM, and provide a reference for the establishment of other DEM data improvement models.

    Scientific research on the spatio-temporal variation characteristics of surface vegetation GPP and its response to climate change is of great significance for in-depth understanding of terrestrial carbon cycle, evaluation of environmental quality of terrestrial ecosystems, and estimation of the ecological effects of future climate change. At present, most of the time series of GPP spatio-temporal changes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are short and the spatio-temporal changes and characteristics of GPP are not deeply analyzed. Therefore, this study used linear trend detection methods to study the changes of GPP in the Tibetan Plateau between 2001 and 2019, and analyzed the response of this feature to topography and land types, while exploring the relationship between GPP and air temperature, precipitation and snow cover. The results show that the inter-annual trend of GPP on the Tibetan Plateau shows the distribution characteristics of low in northwest and high in southeast, with a maximum value of 0.23gCm-2d-1 and a minimum value of -0.125gCm-2d-1;From October to March, the inter-annual change trend of GPP in most regions is small. The inter-annual change trend and spatial heterogeneity of GPP in July is the largest, from -0.384gCm-2d-1 to 0.303gCm-2d-1,and gradually decrease from August to October. The interannual trend of GPP decreases with elevation increasing.The interannual trend of GPP south of 30° N decreases rapidly and north of 30°N increases slowly with latitude increasing. The increasing inter-annual change trend of cropland/natural vegetation mosaics type is largest, 0.034 8gCm-2d-1.The decreasing inter-annual change trend of closed shrublands is largest, 0.007 6gCm-2d-1.In the past 19 years, temperature has the largest contribution to the GPP, followed by precipitation, and by radiation again, the contribution of snow to the GPP is relatively weak.

    Remote sensing technology has become an important way to obtain agricultural greenhouse coverage information quickly and effectively. But the spatial resolution size of remote sensing images has a dual influence on the extraction accuracy, and it is important to select suitable resolution images. Taking the southern agricultural plastic greenhouses as the research object, GF-1, GF-2 and Sentinel-2 are used to form six different spatial resolution image datasets between 1 and 16 m. Based on Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA), we use the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Random Forest (RF) methods to extract the canopy and analyze the extraction accuracy and the difference between the methods. The results show that: (1) the extraction accuracy of agricultural greenhouses under CNN and RF methods generally decreases as the image resolution decreases, and agricultural sheds can be detected on images from 1m to 16 m; (2) the CNN method requires higher spatial resolution than the RF method, and the CNN method has fewer missed and false extractions at 1~2 m resolution, but at 4 m and lower resolutions, the RF method is more applicable; (3) the 2 m resolution image is the best spatial resolution for shed information extraction, which can realize shed monitoring economically and effectively.

    Buildings are integral components of urban areas. Extracting buildings from high-resolution remote sensing data holds significant academic importance in areas such as land use analysis, urban planning, and disaster risk reduction. For the problems of building extraction, an improved Mask R-CNN building instance segmentation model is proposed. Based on the residual neural network fusion convolutional attention model, a residual convolutional attention network is constructed to improve the problem of inadequate feature extraction. The loss function is optimized by adding the Dice Loss method, and then the feature learning process is optimized. And a post-processing strategy combining Douglas-Peucker algorithm and Fine polygon regularization algorithm is introduced to make the building contours more regular and smooth. The experimental results show that the improved model improves the detection mAP value by 7.74% at Iou 0.5 and 7.57% at Iou 0.75 compared with the original model, and the post-processing strategy improves the F1-Score value by 6.01% compared with the original model after selecting the appropriate threshold to optimize the mask. The instance segmentation model coupled with Mask R-CNN and attention mechanism improves the small building misdetection and omission problem, building segmentation boundary adhesion problem, and building segmentation accuracy; building post-processing strategy, improves building regularization.

    Object detection in remote sensing images has become a vital aspect of the overall object detection domain. To address the problems of missed detection and false detection of small-scale objects in high-resolution remote sensing images with complex backgrounds, a local adaptive feature weighting algorithm is proposed at the detection stage, combined with the YOLOv5s algorithm. By learning the existing label box information, the foreground containing target features is separated from the background, and the local features of the target with key information in the foreground are obtained. The spatial scale and weight of local features of each layer are calculated adaptively. Meanwhile, a global attention mechanism is proposed to enhance the interaction capability of cross-dimensional feature information between channels and spatial dimensions in the backbone, so as to strengthen the correlation between features and compensate for the loss of global information within local features at the detection stage, thereby reducing the rates of missed detection and false detection of targets. Experimental results show that the improved algorithm achieves certain improvements in precision and recall, with a mean average precision reaching 72.33%, representing an increase of 2.66% compared to the traditional YOLOv5s algorithm.
