ABSTRACT Accurately monitoring the variation of snow cover from remote sensing is vital since it assists in various fields including prediction of floods, control of runoff values, and the ice regime of rivers. Spectral indices methods are traditional ways to realize snow segmentation, including the most common one – the Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI), which utilizes the combination of green and short-wave infrared (SWIR) bands. In addition, spectral indices methods heavily depend on the optimal threshold to determine the accuracy, making it time-consuming to find optimal values for different places. Convolutional neural networks ensemble model with DeepLabV3+ was employed as sub-models for snow segmentation using (Sentinel-2), which aims to distinguish clouds and water body from snow. The imagery dataset generated in this article contains sites in global alpine regions such as Tibetan Plateau in China, the Alps in Switzerland, Alaska in the United States, Southern Patagonian Icefield in Chile, Tsylos Provincial Park, Tatsamenie Peak, and Dalton Peak in Canada. To overcome the limitation of DeepLabV3+, which only accepts three channels as input features, and the need to use six features: green, red, blue, near-infraRed, SWIR, and NDSI, 20 three-channel DeepLabV3+ sub-models, were constructed with different combinations of three features and then ensembled together. The proposed ensemble model showed superior performance than benchmark spectral indices method, with mIoU values ranging from 0.8075 to 0.9538 in different test sites. The results of this project contribute to the development of automated snow segmentation tools to assist earth observation applications.

ABSTRACT Intertidal vegetation plays an essential role in habitat provision for waterbirds but suffers great losses due to human activities. However, it is challenging in tracking the human-driven loss and degradation of intertidal vegetation due to rapid urbanization in a high temporal resolution. In this study, a methodological framework based on full Landsat time-series (FLTS) is proposed to detect the year of change (YOC) of intertidal vegetation converted to impervious surfaces (ISs) and artificial ponds (APs), and the condition of the remaining intertidal vegetation was also assessed by FLTS, in the Fujian province, a subtropical coastal area lying in southeast China. The accuracies of the YOC detection of intertidal vegetation converted to IS and AP were 91.84% and 72.73%, with mean absolute errors of 0.26 and 1.06, respectively. The total areas of intertidal vegetation encroached by IS and AP were 31.68 km2 and 23.85 km2, respectively. Most ISs were developed later than 2010, and most APs were developed earlier than 2005, which are highly related to the implementation of local policies for economic development. The remaining intertidal vegetation in growing, stable, and degraded conditions were 43.05%, 56.38%, and 0.57%, respectively. The results indicated that areas of intertidal vegetation were reclaimed for anthropogenic uses at a considerable rate, although the intertidal vegetation still increased owing to natural development after the establishment of natural reserves. The study demonstrates that the FLTS has capacities in monitoring the dynamics in coastal zones solely for its dense earth observations.

ABSTRACT Accurate crop mapping is critical for agricultural applications. Although studies have combined deep learning methods and time-series satellite images to crop classification with satisfactory results, most of them focused on supervised methods, which are usually applicable to a specific domain and lose their validity in new domains. Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) was proposed to solve this limitation by transferring knowledge from source domains with labeled samples to target domains with unlabeled samples. Particularly, multi-source UDA (MUDA) is a powerful extension that leverages knowledge from multiple source domains and can achieve better results in the target domain than single-source UDA (SUDA). However, few studies have explored the potential of MUDA for crop mapping. This study proposed a MUDA crop classification model (MUCCM) for unsupervised crop mapping. Specifically, 11 states in the U.S. were selected as the multi-source domains, and three provinces in Northeast China were selected as individual target domains. Ten spectral bands and five vegetation indexes were collected at a 10-day interval from time-series Sentinel-2 images to build the MUCCM. Subsequently, a SUDA model Domain Adversarial Neural Network (DANN) and two direct transfer methods, namely, the deep neural network and random forest, were constructed and compared with the MUCCM. The results indicated that the UDA models outperformed the direct transfer models significantly, and the MUCCM was superior to the DANN, achieving the highest classification accuracy (OA>85%) in each target domain. In addition, the MUCCM also performed best in in-season forecasting and crop mapping. This study is the first to apply a MUDA to crop classification and demonstrate a novel, effective solution for high-performance crop mapping in regions without labeled samples.
