Adopting the decision tree technology, utilizing its process pattern that imitates human judgment and thinking and fault-tolerance features, the authors developed a decision tree classification method. Initially utilizing SPOT and TM, the work effectively enhanced LULC information and established the synthetic database; then, combining geoscience synthetic analysis with ground spectral feature information, utilizing the CART system; the authors built the decision tree model that is based on the decision rules. At last, we discussed the wild use of LULC decision tree classified and stratified extractive technology. Taking three counties in Hebei province as examples, we divided the research area to classify each unit (county area) by ecological division, utilized multiple data resources and geoscience rules to build the decision tree model and test and verify the method. The results demonstrated that the method improves the speed and precision of classification.

This study used time-series of NDVI datasets at a spatial resolution of 8 km and 15-day interval to identify the spatial patterns of cropland phenology in China. To do so, a smoothing algorithm based on an asymmetric Gaussian function was first performed on NDVI dataset to minimize the effects of anomalous values caused by atmospheric haze and cloud contamination. Subsequent data processing for detecting cropping systems and phonological parameters was based on the smoothed NVDI time-series datasets. The results show that the cropping system in Chinapsilas cropland becomes complex as moving toward to the south from the north China. Under this cropping system, the starting date (SGS) and ending date (EGS) for the first growing season vary over space, and those regions with multiple cropping systems present a significant advanced SGS and EGS than the regions with a single cropping. On the contrary, the phenology of the second growing season including both the SGS and EGS show little difference between regions. This study concludes that spatial patterns of cropping system and phenology in Chinapsilas cropland are highly related to the geophysical environmental factors in China. In addition, several anthropogenic factors, such as crop variety, cultivation levels, irrigation and fertilizers, can profoundly influence crop phenological status. How to discriminate the impacts of biophysical forces and anthropogenic drivers on phenological events of cultivation remains a great challenge for further studies.

The problem of water source pollution has become more and more serious in Wuxi and Suzhou district. It is urgent to monitor water quality widely and rapidly, which is the advantage of remote sensing. However, water sources around cities are inland waters in which chlorophyll-a and suspended matter concentrations are hard to retrieve accurately from remote sensing just by using empirical methods. To overcome this problem, this study has developed an analytical method based on inherent optical parameters to retrieve chlorophyll-a and suspended matter concentrations. To validate this method, we have collected a dataset as follows: CBERS CCD image in Taihu Lake around Wuxi and Suzhou, in situ measured water reflectance spectra,and inherent optical parameters, and the simultaneously measured aerosol data from Wuxi. Based on two approximate premises, we apply the red and the near infrared images to get total suspended matter concentration and chlorophyll-a concentration. The retrieved concentrations of total suspended matter and chlorophyll-a are close with in situ measured ones. This study is helpful for monitoring water quality of water supply sources from multi-spectral remote sensing images.

Crops and spatial distribution of their planting area are two important factors for agricultural water management. Remote sensing has been proved an effective technique in agricultural monitoring. Crop recognition and sown area monitoring are important topics in agricultural remote sensing using data sources from variety of sensors. This paper made efforts in extracting winter wheat and its sown area in an irrigation district along the lower Yellow River stream using the newly launched CBERS-02B sensor. Based on selection of the winter wheat training samples, spectral features, NDVI, MSAVI, spatial information of soils and texture analysis, a rule sets were developed for extracting winter wheat and its sown area. Google Earth was also employed to identify specific ground truth at a high resolution. It is tentatively concluded that the newly launched CBERS-02B CCD data is a reliable source for remote sensing monitoring for agriculture. The rule-based method proposed in this paper has improved the accuracy of crop monitoring. Integration of the spectral information, texture information, information of soils and land use/cover into the rule sets has strengthened identification capacity of the rule-based method. Compared to the unsupervised classification result, the rule-based crop recognition method achieved a better accuracy. Google Earth is a powerful tool which can be employed in sample selection and accuracy assessment. Its high resolution makes lots of small objects identifiable and identification mixed classes possible.

Farmland is a significant form of land use; it plays an important part in the food security and the stability of ecosystem environment. Fallow is a part of cultivated land, but it is somewhere no crops planting on for the consideration about the soil fertility protection. This paper had done some experiments to extract fallow land from the cultivated land by means of GIS and RS. The test area in this paper was Akesu area, which is located at the west part of Xinjiang Province. The data used in this paper are MODIS EVI, whose temporal resolution is 16 day and spatial resolution is 250 m. The extracting of the fallow is based on the theory of density slicing, and the method can divided into the following steps. Firstly, the land use map of Akesu area was gained by visual interpretation. It is based on the TM images whose spatial resolution is 30 m. Secondly, grid with spatial resolution of 250 m was drawn In ArcGIS. Then the land use map and the grid were overlaid, and the percentage of each land use type in each grid was calculated. Thirdly, we pick out the pixels in which agriculture land account for more than 90% and then some analysis was made on the relation between the coverage of the agriculture land and the maximum EVI in the crop growing season. As a result, when the threshold of the maximum EVI was set as 0.25, fallow could be discriminated form the cultivated land. Thist was validated by the result from CBERS images which has higher spatial resolution, and it is indicated that the method had a good performance on the extracting. By analyzing the result, we can conclude that fallow land generally distributes far away from the river and in the Akesu area, the Wei Gan River-Ku Che River delta oasis has the largest area of fallow land which mostly results from soil salinization.

In this paper, we established a new general semiautomatic building rooftop extraction method applied for high resolution satellite imagery. Based on investigation of the current existed methods for building extraction and its feature extraction, a general framework of building rooftop extraction is proposed. To extract the precise building roof boundary, an seeded region growth segmentation or localized multi-scale object oriented segmentation is applied to extract small and simple rectilinear rooftops from its background; to delineate the precise position of complex rooftop, the pose clustering is applied for building locating, and model matching techniques based on node graph search is used for finding the correct building rooftop shape. Integration of these two methods makes extraction of buildings from simple rectangle rooftop to complicated building more practical. Preliminary experimental results on QuickBird imagery show that the proposed method can successfully extract about 75% of the regular building rooftops.

Land degradation is a major problem world-wide. Soil degradation is the core of land degradation. Soil degradation at regional scale is related to susceptibility to erosion, soil suitability, and soil characteristics. There is a pressing need for an objective measure on land degradation at regional scale. The study area is in Hengshan county in ShanXi province, where is in the agriculture-pasture mixed area in Northern China with complex physical geographical situation. On the basis of discussing the spectrum feature of soils and soil line parameters and analyzing the spectrum feature parameters responding to land degradation, the study is to develop and evaluate a spectral approach for soil features for degraded soil using Hyperion by exploiting the potential of its red bands and near infrared bands. This index called Degraded Soil Line Index (DSLI) is based on SAM classification approach and the soil line concept. The potential of Hyperion image data for mapping soil degradation through the application of this spectral index and the spectral angle mapping (SAM) approaches in semi-arid area of North China will also be compared and investigated. It was indicated that results showed that both the SAM and DSLI approaches have the ability to map soil degradation and clearly show the degraded soil class. It also showed the difference between the DSLI and SAM methods is significant, and showed the interest and the contribution of the DSLI index in the study of land degradation. The validation of the results obtained with the DSLI index and soil samples served as an additional tool showed that that the map of distribution of land degradation types using DSLI method depends on the physico-chemical characteristics of the different classes. It indicated that the highly degraded soils are associated with low soil organic matter and available phosphorus, high slope gradient and sand particle percentage and total phosphorus.

This study has presented a new classifier - the Partial Least Squares (PLS) classifier including linear and nonlinear based on the Partial Least-Squares Regression theory, then explained the classification algorithm and process of this new classifier, and finally, them have been applied to classify Landsat TM remote sensing data. Results of PLS linear classifier showed that there exist many classify mistake among six kinds of land use types. On the contrary, the nonlinear classifier based on Gaussian kernel function got better classification result, the overall classification accuracy is 79.297% and overall Kappa statistics is 0.74213. So, to remote sensing classification, the nonlinear PLS classifier is basic feasible, however, it is necessary for us to improve its algorithms or learning process further.

Soil moisture, as the fundamental parameters for land surface water resource formation, it plays an important role in climate change. The goal of the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission over land is to infer surface soil moisture from L-band, dual-polarization radiometric measurements under a range of viewing angles. Previous research has shown that L-band passive microwave remote sensing sensors can be better used to monitor soil moisture over land surface. However, the effects of soil surface roughness play a significant role in the microwave emission from the surface. Therefore, a good parameterization of the effects is a prerequisite for retrieving surface soil moisture information. There are two types of approaches - the physical modeling and semi-empirical approaches that are commonly used in modeling the surface emission. The model parameters used in semi-empirical approaches are often derived from limited field observations and always need to be evaluated when applying to other datasets or application purposes. In recent theoretical model developments, advanced integral equation model (AIEM) has demonstrated a much wider application range for surface roughness conditions than that from conventional models. In this study, we generate a simulated database with a wide range of the surface roughness and soil moisture conditions under SMOS sensor configurations using AIEM model. A simple and accurate surface emission model is developed based on the simulated database that can be easily used as forward model in the passive microwave remote sensing applications. An inversion procedure is set up in terms of dual-polarization microwave brightness temperatures available from the forward model to retrieve soil moisture with a minimum of auxiliary information about the ground. The inversion technique is validated with microwave radiometer experimental data at Beltsville, MD. The results reveal that the use of dual-polarization and multi-angular inversion technique to estimate soil moisture from radiometric measurements decrease the perturbing effects of surface roughness on the soil moisture estimation.
