ABSTRACT

The Charleston Estuarine System Stock (CESS) of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) has been the focus of population monitoring for the past 20 years. Photo-id studies have determined abundance and survival estimates for this population, which exhibits high site fidelity in this area. However, fine-scale distribution, utilization patterns, and the driving forces behind these patterns are lacking. Using historical photo-id data and a novel application of geographic information system (GIS) analysis, the present study identified core use areas within Charleston Harbor, as well as patterns specific to sexes and seasons. Photo-id data of 319 dolphins sighted 11 times or more during 2004–2009 were analyzed. Heat maps were developed to examine spatial distributions using kernel density estimates (KDE) and were compared between sexes and seasons. Multiple high-density core use areas were identified for this population, with the most noteworthy near the mouth of the harbor toward the Atlantic Ocean. Fine-scale distribution varied across sexes, as well as seasons. Some areas were identified as more specifically inhabited by one sex, while other areas overlapped between sexes. Females were more tightly concentrated within their distribution while males were more dispersed. Although population distribution varied across seasons, sex distributions remained.  相似文献   

Meissel-Stokes核函数应用于区域大地水准面分析   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

荣敏  周巍  任红飞 《测绘工程》2015,(9):5-10

为提高区域大地水准面计算精度,基于EGM2008地球重力场位系数模型分析Meissel-Stokes核函数、截断误差系数以及截断误差。选取实验区,采用移去-恢复法评价Meissel-Stokes核函数计算大地水准面的精度。结果表明:Meissel-Stokes核函数及其截断误差系数收敛速度快;截断误差小且稳定。在积分半径不易扩展的情况下,应用Meissel-Stokes核函数计算区域大地水准面,比标准Stokes计算大地水准面精度略高。  相似文献   

基于马尔科夫随机场与模糊C均值的遥感影像分类     

杨红磊  彭军还 《测绘学报》2012,41(2):213-218

模糊C均值聚类是一种经典的非监督聚类模型,成功地应用于遥感影像分类。但是该方法对初始值敏感,容易陷入局部最优解;同时聚类时仅考虑光谱信息,忽略了空间信息。本文提出了一种新的基于马尔科夫随机场的模糊C均值聚类方法,该方法把马尔科夫随机场和模糊C均值结合在一起。初始值依据第一主成分的密度函数确定,这样克服了对初始值的依赖性,又在聚类的时候考虑了空间信息。通过实例数据验证,所提出的方法分类精度优于传统的模糊C均值模型。  相似文献

The ellipsoidal correction to the Stokes kernel for precise geoid determination     

M. Najafi-Alamdari  S. R. Emadi  K. Moghtased-Azar 《Journal of Geodesy》2006,80(12):675-689

Solving the geodetic boundary-value problem (GBVP) for the precise determination of the geoid requires proper use of the fundamental equation of physical geodesy as the boundary condition given on the geoid. The Stokes formula and kernel are the result of spherical approximation of this fundamental equation, which is a violation of the proper relation between the observed quantity (gravity anomaly) and the sought function (geoid). The violation is interpreted here as the improper formulation of the boundary condition, which implies the spherical Stokes kernel to be in error compared with the proper kernel of integral transformation. To remedy this error, two correction kernels to the Stokes kernel were derived: the first in both closed and spectral forms and the second only in spectral form. Contributions from the first correction kernel to the geoid across the globe were [−0.867 m, +1.002 m] in the low-frequency domain implied by the GRIM4-S4 purely satellite-derived geopotential model. It is a few centimeters, on average, in the high-frequency domain with some exceptions of a few meters in places of high topographical relief and sizable geological features in accordance with the EGM96 combined geopotential model. The contributions from the second correction kernel to the geoid are [−0.259 m, +0.217 m] and [−0.024 m, +0.023 m] in the low- and high-frequency domains, respectively.  相似文献

新几何光学核驱动BRDF模型反演地表反照率的算法   总被引：13，自引：3，他引：13  

杨华  李小文  高峰 《遥感学报》2002,6(4):246-251

MODIS的反照率和二向反射产品由基于核驱动模型的AMBRALS程序提供。目前 AMBRALS算法系统中所用的描述几何光学散射的核为LiSparseR核。新提出的一个几何光学核－LiTransit核兼有LiSparse核向LiDense核过渡的优点，比LiSparseR核更符合几何光学模型的基本原理。验证结果表明：与LiSparseR核比较，RossThick-LiTransit的核组合更能反映直入扇出反照率随太阳天顶角变化的趋势。因此在下一代的AMBRALS算法系统中，将用新的LiTransit核取代LiSparseR核。目前AMBRALS算法系统为了快速处理每天大量的数据，用多项式拟合核的半球积分。因此，为了替换LiSparseR核时，同时又不影响整个算法的系统性，本文研究了LiTransit核的多项式拟合。结果表明：拟合的多项式与核半球积分的相关性很好。  相似文献   

中国生态文明建设效率空间均衡性及格局演变特征   总被引：6，自引：1，他引：5

研究中国生态文明建设效率的空间分布状态及格局演变特征,有利于厘清生态文明建设效率的空间差异机理,对于缩小区域差异及其驱动因素的探索具有重要的指导意义和参考价值。因此,基于“自然—经济—社会”（Nature-Economy-Society, N-E-S）复合生态系统理论和生态文明建设内涵目标构建生态文明建设效率的投入产出指标体系,并运用考虑非期望产出的SBM模型对中国2003-2015年的生态文明建设效率进行了测算,在此基础上,综合运用核密度估计、Theil指数、重心—标准差椭圆等方法,对中国生态文明建设效率的空间均衡性及其空间分布格局进行了探究。结果表明：① 中国生态文明建设效率存在明显的空间非均衡性,在研究期内（2003-2015年）空间非均衡性表现为先逐渐缩小后又逐渐扩大的动态演变特征;由三大区域的Theil指数均值可知,西部地区空间非均衡程度最大（0.1174）,东部次之（0.0365）,中部最小（0.0223）。② 从重心移动轨迹来看,中国生态文明建设效率的重心位于河南境内,历经了先向东南再向东北移动的过程,重心移动的方向表明位于该方向上的地区生态文明建设效率有所提升。③ 从标准差椭圆来看,中国生态文明建设效率空间分布呈现出偏东北—偏西南格局,并且这种格局有向正北—正南方向转变的趋势。  相似文献
