Sentinel 2A

Soil degradation, defined as the lowering and loss of soil functions, is becoming a serious problem worldwide and threatens agricultural production and terrestrial ecosystems. The surface residue of crops is one of the most effective erosion control measures and it increases the soil moisture content. In some areas of the world, the management of soil surface residue (SSR) is crucial for increasing soil fertility, maintaining high soil carbon levels, and reducing the degradation of soil due to rain and wind erosion. Standard methods of measuring the residue cover are time and labor intensive, but remote sensing can support the monitoring of conservation tillage practices applied to large fields. We investigated the potential of per-pixel and object-based image analysis (OBIA) for detecting and estimating the coverage of SSRs after tillage and planting practices for agricultural research fields in Iran using tillage indices for Landsat-8 and novel indices for Sentinel-2A. For validation, SSR was measured in the field through line transects at the beginning of the agricultural season (prior to autumn crop planting). Per-pixel approaches for Landsat-8 satellite images using normalized difference tillage index (NDTI) and simple tillage index (STI) yielded coefficient of determination (R2) values of 0.727 and 0.722, respectively. We developed comparable novel indices for Sentinel-2A satellite data that yielded R2 values of 0.760 and 0.759 for NDTI and STI, respectively, which means that the Sentinel data better matched the ground truth data. We tested several OBIA methods and achieved very high overall accuracies of up to 0.948 for Sentinel-2A and 0.891 for Landsat-8 with a membership function method. The OBIA methods clearly outperformed per-pixel approaches in estimating SSR and bear the potential to substitute or complement ground-based techniques.

The Impact

Forest and land fires in Indonesia take place almost every year, particularly in the dry season and in Sumatra and Kalimantan. Such fires damage the ecosystem, and lower the quality of life of the community, especially in health, social and economic terms. To establish the location of forest and land fires, it is necessary to identify and analyse burnt areas. Information on these is necessary to determine the environmental damage caused, the impact on the environment, the carbon emissions produced, and the rehabilitation process needed. Identification methods of burnt land was made both visually and digitally by utilising satellite remote sensing data technology. Such data were chosen because they can identify objects quickly and precisely. Landsat 8 image data have many advantages: they can be easily obtained, the archives are long and they are visible to thermal wavelengths. By using a combination of visible, infrared and thermal channels through the semi-automatic object-based image analysis (OBIA) approach, the study aims to identify burnt areas in the geographical area of Indonesia. The research concludes that the semi-automatic OBIA approach based on the red, infrared and thermal spectral bands is a reliable and fast method for identifying burnt areas in regions of Sumatra and Kalimantan.

Abstract. Winter wheat is a major food source in many areas, so it is necessary to construct an effective approach for its monitoring based on satellite data. By taking advantage of geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA), a winter wheat classification framework was established. Two stages, which included scale selection and feature analysis, were incorporated into the new approach. The scale selection stage was implemented based on an unsupervised method, so human intervention for tuning the scale parameter of image segmentation can be largely saved. The feature analysis stage was performed on the basis of a random forest classification model, and in the experiment this step allowed for feature reduction, which was validated to be beneficial to the classification performance. Keywords: Feature analysis, GEOBIA, Scale selection, Winter wheat.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar as mudanças no uso e cobertura da terra da bacia hidrográfica do Rio da Prata, MS, no período de 1986 a 2016, a partir da abordagem de classificação orientada a objeto (GEOBIA - Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis). Utilizaram-se as imagens Landsat 5, sensor TM (Thematic Mapper) para os anos de 1986, 1996 e 2006 e Landsat 8, sensor OLI (Operational Land Imager) para o ano de 2016. Aplicando técnicas de sensoriamento remoto e geoprocessamento, utilizou-se o software Envi 5.1 para a correção radiométrica e atmosférica e para classificação orientada a objeto: o Ecogntion 9, além do Arcgis 10.3. Foram definidas sete classes de uso da terra: agricultura, corpos aquosos, florestal, pastagem, áreas úmidas, vegetação arbórea e reflorestamento. Os resultados indicaram uma expansão agropecuária e consequentemente um decréscimo das áreas de vegetação arbórea. No período de 1986 a 2016, a pastagem teve um aumento de 13,11%, já as áreas de vegetação arbórea tiveram uma supressão de 21,37%. Sendo assim, destaca-se a importância da análise do uso da terra, com auxílio do sensoriamento remoto e geoprocessamento, para indicar estratégias para ordenamento ambiental na bacia do Rio da Prata, MS.
