This work describes the technology to identify firebreak plowing objects of agriculture fields based on the satellite data of the Earth Remote Sensing within the medium and high spatial resolution. The technology uses a model of the firebreak plowing object, vegetation indexes and spatial relations between objects.

Remote sensing data with high spatial resolution is very useful to provideinformation about Gross Primary Production (GPP) especially over spatial coverage in theurban area. Most models of ecosystem carbon exchange based on remote sensing data usedlight use efficiency (LUE) model. The aim of this research was to analyze the distributionof annual GPP urban area of Denpasar. Two main satellite data used in this study wereALOS/AVNIR-2 and Aster satellite data. Result showed that annual value of GPP usingALOS/AVNIR-2 varied from 0.130 gC m-2 yr-1 to 2586.181 gC m-2 yr-1. Meanwhile, usingAster the value varied from 0.144 gC m-2 yr-1 to 2595.264 gC m-2 yr-1. The annual value ofGPP ALOS was lower than the value of Aster, because ALOS have high spatial resolutionand smaller interval of spectral resolution compared to Aster. Different land use couldeffect the value of GPP, because the different land use has different vegetation type,distribution, and different photosynthetic pathway type. The high spatial resolution of theremote sensing data is crucial to discriminate different land cover types in urban region.With heterogeneous land cover surface, maximum value of GPP using ALOS/AVNIR-2was smaller than that of Aster, however, the annual mean of GPP value usingALOS/AVNIR-2 was higher than that of Aster.

The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) satellite has been a reliable source of ocean color data products, including five moderate (M) bands and one imagery (I) band normalized water-leaving radiance spectra nLw(λ). The spatial resolutions of the M-band and I-band nLw(λ) are 750 m and 375 m, respectively. With the technique of convolutional neural network (CNN), the M-band nLw(λ) imagery can be super-resolved from 750 m to 375 m spatial resolution by leveraging the high spatial resolution features of I1-band nLw(λ) data. However, it is also important to enhance the spatial resolution of VIIRS-derived chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration and the water diffuse attenuation coefficient at the wavelength of 490 nm (Kd(490)), as well as other biological and biogeochemical products. In this study, we describe our effort to derive high-resolution Kd(490) and Chl-a data based on super-resolved nLw(λ) images at the VIIRS five M-bands. To improve the network performance over extremely turbid coastal oceans and inland waters, the networks are retrained with a training dataset including ocean color data from the Bohai Sea, Baltic Sea, and La Plata River Estuary, covering water types from clear open oceans to moderately turbid and highly turbid waters. The evaluation results show that the super-resolved Kd(490) image is much sharper than the original one, and has more detailed fine spatial structures. A similar enhancement of finer structures is also found in the super-resolved Chl-a images. Chl-a filaments are much sharper and thinner in the super-resolved image, and some of the very fine spatial features that are not shown in the original images appear in the super-resolved Chl-a imageries. The networks are also applied to four other coastal and inland water regions. The results show that super-resolution occurs mainly on pixels of Chl-a and Kd(490) features, especially on the feature edges and locations with a large spatial gradient. The biases between the original M-band images and super-resolved high-resolution images are small for both Chl-a and Kd(490) in moderately to extremely turbid coastal oceans and inland waters, indicating that the super-resolution process does not change the mean values of the original images.
