Integrating spectral and non-spectral data to improve urban settlement mapping in a large Latin-American city     

Feilin Lai 《地理信息系统科学与遥感》2020,57(6):830-844

ABSTRACT

Information on urban settlements is crucial for sustainability planning and management. While remote sensing has been used to derive such information, its applicability can be compromised due to the complexity in the urban environment. In this study, we developed a remote sensing method to map land cover types in a large Latin-American city, which is well known for its mushrooming unplanned and informal settlements. After carefully considering the landscape complexity there, we designed a data fusion method combining multispectral imagery and non-spectral data for urban and land mapping. Specifically, we acquired a cloud-free Landsat-8 image and two non-spectral datasets, i.e., digital elevation models and road networks. Then, we implemented a set of experiments with different inputs to evaluate their merits in thematic mapping through a supervised protocol. We found that the map generated with the multispectral data alone had an overall accuracy of 73.3% but combining multispectral imagery and non-spectral data yielded a land cover map with 90.7% overall accuracy. Interestingly, the thermal infrared information helped substantially improve both the overall and categorical accuracies, particularly for the two urban classes. The two types of non-spectral data were critical in resolving several spectrally confused categories, thus considerably increasing the mapping accuracy. However, the panchromatic band with higher spatial resolution and its derived textural measurement only generated a marginal accuracy improvement. The novelties of our work are with the successful separation between the two major types of urban settlements in a complex environment using a carefully designed data fusion approach and the insight into the relative merits of the thermal infrared information and non-spectral data in helping resolve the issue of class ambiguity. These findings should be valuable in deriving accurate urban settlement information which can further advance the research on socio-ecological dynamics and urban sustainability.  相似文献   

Magnitude of latent heat in thermally loaded clays     

Sergio Samat  Laurent Brochard  Ioannis Stefanou 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2020,44(14):1926-1957

Temperature changes are known to induce specific couplings in clay, in particular, an anomalously high thermal pressurization in undrained conditions or a thermal compaction in drained conditions, both of which are potential threats for the mechanical stability and sealing capacity of the geomaterials. Thermodynamical analysis of those peculiar thermomechanical couplings points to a potentially important latent energy, which in turn could limit the temperature change upon heating or cooling. The direct measurement of latent energy developed during a laboratory geomechanical test is challenging. Instead, proper identification of thermal hardening in conventional experiments with temperature changes provides an alternative route to estimate latent energy. In this work, existing laboratory thermomechanical tests of clays are analyzed with a rigorous thermodynamic framework to quantify the magnitude of latent energy in thermomechanically loaded clays. A thermodynamically consistent constitutive model for fully saturated clays that combines two key features, (a) the temperature dependence of the blocked energy and (b) the framework of bounding plasticity, is proposed. The performance of the model is validated by reproducing results obtained in laboratory tests for Boom and Opalinus clays. The thermomechanical loads considered to validate the model performance were then used to estimate the percentage of work that remains latent in the clayey material during plastic yielding. We find that the magnitude of latent energy is quite significant, typically a few tens of percent of the total dissipated energy, and increases significantly with temperature. Accordingly, it is expected to play an important role in the thermomechanical response of clays.  相似文献

非连续变形分析中块体大转动问题研究     

巩师林  凌道盛  胡成宝  钮家军 《岩土力学》2020,41(11):3810-3822

原有非连续变形分析（DDA）采用一阶近似后的位移增量表达式更新块体构形，推导相关子矩阵，且对不同时步计算出的应变增量直接叠加，当模拟的块体发生大转动时往往会产生较大误差。为考虑块体转动与变形的耦合作用，引入先变形、后转动的块体位移增量表达式。重新推导了惯性力子矩阵，将块体转动时的离心力与科氏力加到荷载矩阵中。计算时对应变分量及其相关变量进行坐标变换与修正，并采用新引入的位移增量表达式计算块体顶点位移，进行后接触修正与更新块体构形。数值算例表明，改进后的程序能够消除转动带来的误差，自动考虑了块体转动时离心力和科氏力引起的变形，应变计算精度更高。改进方法克服了块体体积自由膨胀、应变场畸变等问题，给出了合理的块体应变。  相似文献

固体地球潮汐(Solid earth tide,SET)在地表产生的径向位移可达40～50 cm,形变梯度可达2 cm/100 km,是各种精密大地测量和地球物理观测必须考虑的因素之一.随着星载合成孔径雷达干涉测量(Interferometric synthetic aperture radar,InSAR)地表形变监测范围的不断增大以及对精度要求不断提高,固体潮位移对InSAR观测的影响不容忽视.本文利用固体潮位移理论模型,根据InSAR测量基本原理和Sentinel-1卫星成像参数,模拟了固体潮位移InSAR相位,定量分析了其时空分布特征,并以我国江汉平原和北美大平原的Sentinel-1数据为例,探讨了固体潮位移InSAR相位对广域地表形变监测的影响.结果表明:(1)固体潮位移对InSAR广域地表形变监测存在较大影响,在250 km×250 km范围中,以C波段为例,其相位变化可达12 rad(对应52 mm视线向形变);(2)固体潮位移相位在中低纬度(60°S—60°N)地区变化较大,两极地区较小,且在时间上具有明显的周期性;(3)在Sentinel-1 InSAR观测中,通过固体潮位移相位改正去除了干涉图中的部分低频相位偏差,相比原始干涉图,改正后的解缠相位标准差减小了约29%.本研究对于认识固体潮位移InSAR相位的时空分布特征以及提高星载InSAR广域地表形变监测的准确度与可靠性均具有重要意义.  相似文献

针对InSAR技术研究地表三维形变时监测信息不足的问题，以GPS监测信息为先验信息，建立附有随机模型约束的地表三维形变模型。考虑到SAR卫星极轨方式运行导致LOS向观测量对南北向形变不敏感的问题，以GPS南北向形变观测值作为强约束，构建三维形变解算的函数约束条件。模拟数据与西安地区实测数据的计算结果表明，基于随机模型与函数模型共同约束的地表三维形变参数最小二乘解的精度优于仅有函数模型约束或仅有随机模型约束及无任何约束的参数解精度。  相似文献   

Surficial fractures in the Navajo sandstone,south-western USA: the roles of thermal cycles,rainstorms, granular disintegration,and iterative cracking

Deep (> 5 m) sheeting fractures in the Navajo sandstone are evident at numerous sites in southern Utah and derive from tectonic stresses. Strong diurnal thermal cycles are, however, the likely triggers for shallow (< 0.3 m) sheeting fractures. Data from subsurface thermal sensors reveal that large temperature differences between sensors at 2 and 15 cm depth on clear summer afternoons are as great as those that trigger sheeting fractures in exposed California granite. Extensive polygonal patterns in the Navajo sandstone are composed of surface-perpendicular fractures and were produced by contractile stresses. Numerous studies have shown that porewater diminishes the tensile strength of sandstone. Based on our thermal records, we propose that cooling during monsoonal rainstorms triggers polygonal fracturing of temporarily weakened rock. On steep outcrops, polygonal patterns are rectilinear and orthogonal, with T-vertices. Lower-angle slopes host hexagonal patterns (defined by the dominance of Y-vertices). Intermediate patterns with rectangles and hexagons of similar scale are common. We posit that outcropping fractures are advancing downward by iterative steps, and that hexagons on sandstone surfaces (like prismatic columns of basalt) have evolved from ancestral orthogonal polygons of similar scale. In lava flows, fractures elongate intermittently as they follow a steep thermal gradient (the source of stress) as it rapidly moves through the rock mass. In our model, a steep, surficial thermal gradient descends through unfractured sandstone, but at the slow pace of granular disintegration. Through time, as the friable rock on stable slopes erodes, iterative cracking advances into new space. Hexagonal patterns form as new fractures, imperfectly guided by the older ones, propagate in new directions, and vertices drift into a configuration that minimizes the ratio of fracture length to polygon area. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献
