AbstractPine wilt disease (PWD) is currently one of the main causes of large-scale forest destruction. To control the spread of PWD, it is essential to detect affected pine trees quickly. This study investigated the feasibility of using the object-oriented multi-scale segmentation algorithm to identify trees discolored by PWD. We used an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform equipped with an RGB digital camera to obtain high spatial resolution images, and multi-scale segmentation was applied to delineate the tree crown, coupling the use of object-oriented classification to classify trees discolored by PWD. Then, the optimal segmentation scale was implemented using the estimation of scale parameter (ESP2) plug-in. The feature space of the segmentation results was optimized, and appropriate features were selected for classification. The results showed that the optimal scale, shape, and compactness values of the tree crown segmentation algorithm were 56, 0.5, and 0.8, respectively. The producer’s accuracy (PA), user’s accuracy (UA), and F1 score were 0.722, 0.605, and 0.658, respectively. There were no significant classification errors in the final classification results, and the low accuracy was attributed to the low number of objects count caused by incorrect segmentation. The multi-scale segmentation and object-oriented classification method could accurately identify trees discolored by PWD with a straightforward and rapid processing. This study provides a technical method for monitoring the occurrence of PWD and identifying the discolored trees of disease using UAV-based high-resolution images.

Recent advances in remote sensing have witnessed a great amount of very high resolution (VHR) images acquired at sub-metre spatial resolution. These VHR remotely sensed data has post enormous challenges in processing, analysing and classifying them effectively due to the high spatial complexity and heterogeneity. Although many computer-aid classification methods that based on machine learning approaches have been developed over the past decades, most of them are developed toward pixel level spectral differentiation, e.g. Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), which are unable to exploit abundant spatial details within VHR images. <br><br> This paper introduced a rough set model as a general framework to objectively characterize the uncertainty in CNN classification results, and further partition them into correctness and incorrectness on the map. The correct classification regions of CNN were trusted and maintained, whereas the misclassification areas were reclassified using a decision tree with both CNN and MLP. The effectiveness of the proposed rough set decision tree based MLP-CNN was tested using an urban area at Bournemouth, United Kingdom. The MLP-CNN, well capturing the complementarity between CNN and MLP through the rough set based decision tree, achieved the best classification performance both visually and numerically. Therefore, this research paves the way to achieve fully automatic and effective VHR image classification.

In this article, a novel feature selection-based multi-scale superpixel-based guided filter (FS-MSGF) method for classification of very-high-resolution (VHR) remotely sensed imagery is proposed. Improved from the original guided filter (GF) algorithm used in the classification, the guidance image in the proposed approach is constructed based on the superpixel-level segmentation. By taking into account the object boundaries and the inner-homogeneity, the superpixel-level guidance image leads to the geometrical information of land-cover objects in VHR images being better depicted. High-dimensional multi-scale guided filter (MSGF) features are then generated, where the multi-scale information of those land-cover classes is better modelled. In addition, for improving the computational efficiency without the loss of accuracy, a subset of those MSGF features is then automatically selected by using an unsupervised feature selection method, which contains the most distinctive information in all constructed MSGF features. Quantitative and qualitative classification results obtained on two QuickBird remotely sensed imagery datasets covering the Zurich urban scene are provided and analyzed, which demonstrate that the proposed methods outperform the state-of-the-art reference techniques in terms of higher classification accuracies and higher computational efficiency.
