De-blurring the high resolution remote sensing images is an important issue in the relative research field of remote sensing. In this paper a novel algorithm of de-blurring the high resolution remote sensing images is proposed based on sparse representation. The high spatial resolution remote sensing images can be de-blurred by gradient projection algorithm, and keep the useful information of the image. The experimental results of the remote sensing images obtained by “the first satellite of high resolution” show that the algorithm can de-blur the image more effectively and improve the PSNR, this method has better performance than other dictionary learning algorithm.

Urban geographical maps are important to urban planning, urban construction, land-use studies, disaster control and relief, touring and sightseeing, and so on. Satellite remote sensing images are the most important data source for urban geographical maps. However, for optical satellite remote sensing images with high spatial resolution, certain inevitable factors, including cloud, haze, and cloud shadow, severely degrade the image quality. Moreover, the geometrical and radiometric differences amongst multiple high-spatial-resolution images are difficult to eliminate. In this study, we propose a robust and efficient procedure for generating high-resolution and high-quality seamless satellite imagery for large-scale urban regions. This procedure consists of image registration, cloud detection, thin/thick cloud removal, pansharpening, and mosaicking processes. Methodologically, a spatially adaptive method considering the variation of atmospheric scattering, and a stepwise replacement method based on local moment matching are proposed for removing thin and thick clouds, respectively. The effectiveness is demonstrated by a successful case of generating a 0.91-m-resolution image of the main city zone in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, using images obtained from the Chinese Beijing-2 and Gaofen-2 high-resolution satellites.

Fine-scale, accurate intra-urban functional zones (urban land use) are important for applications that rely on exploring urban dynamic and complexity. However, current methods of mapping functional zones in built-up areas with high spatial resolution remote sensing images are incomplete due to a lack of social attributes. To address this issue, this paper explores a novel approach to mapping urban functional zones by integrating points of interest (POIs) with social properties and very high spatial resolution remote sensing imagery with natural attributes, and classifying urban function as residence zones, transportation zones, convenience shops, shopping centers, factory zones, companies, and public service zones. First, non-built and built-up areas were classified using high spatial resolution remote sensing images. Second, the built-up areas were segmented using an object-based approach by utilizing building rooftop characteristics (reflectance and shapes). At the same time, the functional POIs of the segments were identified to determine the functional attributes of the segmented polygon. Third, the functional values—the mean priority of the functions in a road-based parcel—were calculated by functional segments and segmental weight coefficients. This method was demonstrated on Xiamen Island, China with an overall accuracy of 78.47% and with a kappa coefficient of 74.52%. The proposed approach could be easily applied in other parts of the world where social data and high spatial resolution imagery are available and improve accuracy when automatically mapping urban functional zones using remote sensing imagery. It will also potentially provide large-scale land-use information.

A fusion approach is proposed to refine the resolution of multi-spectral images using the corresponding high-resolution panchromatic images. The technique is based on intensity modulation and non-separable wavelet frame. The high-resolution panchromatic image is decomposed by the non-separable wavelet frame. Then the wavelet coefficients are used as the factor of modulating to modulate the multi-spectral image. Experimental results indicate that, comparing with the traditional methods, the proposed method can efficiently preserve the spectral information while improving the spatial resolution of remote sensing images.

Canopy closure (CC) is an important parameter in forest ecosystems and has diverse applications in a wide variety of fields. Canopy closure estimation models, using a combination of measured data and remote sensing data, can largely replace traditional survey methods for CC. However, it is difficult to estimate the forest CC based on high spatial resolution remote sensing images. This study used China Gaofen-1 satellite (GF-1) images, and selected China’s north temperate Wangyedian Forest Farm (WYD) and subtropical Gaofeng Forest Farm (GF) as experimental areas. A parametric model (multiple linear regression (MLR)), non-parametric model (random forest (RF)), and semi-parametric model (generalized additive model (GAM)) were developed. The ability of the three models to estimate the CC of plantations based on high spatial resolution remote sensing GF-1 images and their performance in the two experimental areas was analyzed and compared. The results showed that the decision coefficient (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), and relative root mean square error (rRMSE) values of the parametric model (MLR), semi-parametric model (GAM), and non-parametric model (RF) for the WYD forest ranged from 0.45 to 0.69, 0.0632 to 0.0953, and 9.98% to 15.05%, respectively, and in the GF forest the R2, RMSE, and rRMSE values ranged from 0.40 to 0.59, 0.0967 to 0.1152, and 16.73% to 19.93%, respectively. The best model in the two study areas was the GAM and the worst was the RF. The accuracy of the three models established in the WYD was higher than that in the GF area. The RMSE and rRMSE values for the MLR, GAM, and RF established using high spatial resolution GF-1 remote sensing images in the two test areas were within the scope of existing studies, indicating the three CC estimation models achieved satisfactory results.

Extracting farmland from high spatial resolution remote sensing images is a basic task for agricultural information management. According to Tobler’s first law of geography, closer objects have a stronger relation. Meanwhile, due to the scale effect, there are differences on both spatial and attribute scales among different kinds of objects. Thus, it is not appropriate to segment images with unique or fixed parameters for different kinds of objects. In view of this, this paper presents a stratified object-based farmland extraction method, which includes two key processes: one is image region division on a rough scale and the other is scale parameter pre-estimation within local regions. Firstly, the image in RGB color space is converted into HSV color space, and then the texture features of the hue layer are calculated using the grey level co-occurrence matrix method. Thus, the whole image can be divided into different regions based on the texture features, such as the mean and homogeneity. Secondly, within local regions, the optimal spatial scale segmentation parameter was pre-estimated by average local variance and its first-order and second-order rate of change. The optimal attribute scale segmentation parameter can be estimated based on the histogram of local variance. Through stratified regionalization and local segmentation parameters estimation, fine farmland segmentation can be achieved. GF-2 and Quickbird images were used in this paper, and mean-shift and multi-resolution segmentation algorithms were applied as examples to verify the validity of the proposed method. The experimental results have shown that the stratified processing method can release under-segmentation and over-segmentation phenomena to a certain extent, which ultimately benefits the accurate farmland information extraction.
