APPLICATION OF REMOTE SENSING TECHNOLOGY TO POPULATION ESTIMATION

This paper attempts to explore a new avenue of urban small-regional population estimation by remote sensing technology, creatively and comprehensively for the first time using a residence count method, area (density) method and model method, incorporating the application experience of American scholars in the light of the state of our country. Firstly, the author proposes theoretical basis for population estimation by remote sensing, on the basis of analysing and evaluating the history and state quo of application of methods of population estimation by remote sensing. Secondly, two original types of mathematical models of population estimation are developed on the basis of remote sensing data, taking Tianjin City as an example. By both of the mathematical models the regional population may be estimated from remote sensing variable values with high accuracy. The number of the independent variables in the latter model is somewhat smaller and the collection of remote sensing data is somewhat easier, but the deviation is a little larger. Finally, some viewpoints on the principled problems about the practical application of remote sensing to population estimation are put forward.

Research on the evolution law of permafrost under the influence of urbanization based on remote sensing technology

The permafrost of Mohe County and its suburbs in the Daxing′an Mountains has been influenced by the urbanization.Remote sensing,GIS technology and numerical simulation was used to study the temperature variations of permafrost with the changes in surface vegetation that cover Mohe County and suburban areas,and the law of permafrost degradation on the study area was analyzed.The research results show that the urban area of the study area increased 114.42%from 2000 to 2016,and the urbanization process is continuing to accelerate.The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index map of 2017 in Mohe County and its suburbs was studied and the maximum proportion of vegetation coverage was different in the four seasons.The numerical calculation model results show that the permafrost temperature change in the study area cyclically fluctuates in a cosine form.The annual variation curve of permafrost temperature gradually decreased and its accompanying phase lag increased with depth.The annual temperature change value with the different depths of the town was greater than the natural ground.The maximum permafrost thawing depths of the town and natural ground were 4.2 m and 2.82 m in 50 a,and the degradation rates of the two permafrost are,respectively,0.88 cm/a and 0.46 cm/a.These results show that urbanization has accelerated the degradation of permafrost.

THE LAND USE INVESTIGATION IN TIBET PLATEAU USING REMOTE SENSING TECHNOLOGY

Tibet Plateau is Known as "the Roof of the World" with the area of 1,220,000km^2, which is about 1/8 land area of China. Because of the high elevation, cold climate and it caused difficulties in regional economic planning and land resources management. Since 1985, the land use investigation in Tibet has been carried out, in which the basic data and thematic maps must be obtained and completed at county and township levels, in order to meet the needs of local administrations. In the investigation, remote sensing technology was comprehensively adopted. At present, the investigation in county level had been completed and the compilation is going to be carried out. Due to paying a great attention to studying on a series of key technical problems, the systematic methods of using remote sensing technology in the plateau land use investigation were formed and successfully put into application.

Application of Remote Radio Head over Fiber Technology

The Remote Radio Head (RRH) over Fiber system is a new distributed network coverage mode.It processes the baseband parts concentratively by separating the baseband and Radio Frequency (RF).It moves the RF modules using fibers from the Base Stations (BSs) to the remote RF units.These RF modules are placed on the stations to be covered.This solution saves many equipment rooms required by conventional solutions.Meanwhile,it supports RRH over a large number of fibers through high-capacity macro BSs to realize the conversion between capacity and coverage.In addition,the RRH system also supports the coverage in other situations,such as high-speed railways and ultra-long distance.It is one of the most widely used technologies in the 3G network.

A new algorithm of retrieving a petroleum substances absorption coefficient in sea water based on a remote sensing image

Establishing the remote sensing algorithm of retrieving the absorption coefficient of seawater petroleum substances is an efficient way to improve the accuracy of retrieving a seawater petroleum concentration using a remote sensing technology. A remote sensing reflectance is a basic physical parameter in water color remote sensing. Apply it to directly retrieve the absorption coefficient of seawater petroleum substances is of potential advantage. The absorption coefficient of waters containing petroleum [ACWCP, a_o（λ）], consists of the absorption coefficient of pure water [ACPW, a_w（λ）], plankton [ACP, a_（ph）（λ）], colored scraps [ACCS, a_（d,g）（λ）], and petroleum substance [ACPS, a_（oil）（λ）]. Among those, ACCS consists of the absorption coefficient of nonalgal particle [ACNP, a_d（λ）] and colored dissolved organic matter [ACCDOM, a_g（λ）]. For waters containing petroleum, the retrieved ACCS using the existing method is a combination absorption coefficient of ACNP,ACCDOM and ACPA [CAC, a_（d,g,oil）（λ）]. Therefore, the principle question is how to extract ACPS from CAC.Through the analysis of the three proportion tests conducted between the year of 2013 and 2015 and the corresponding remote sensing data, an algorithm of retrieving the absorption coefficient of petroleum substances is proposed based on remote sensing reflectance. First of all, ACPS and CAC are retrieved from the reflectance using the quasi-analytical algorithm（QAA）, with some parameter modified. Secondly, given the fact that the backscatter coefficient [BC, b_（bp）（555）] of total particles at 555 nm can be obtained completely from the reflectance, the relation between BC and ACNP in petroleum contaminated water can be established. As a result, ACNP can be calculated. Then, combining the remote sensing retrieving algorithm of a_g（440）, the method of achieving the spectral slope of the absorption coefficient can be established, from which ACCDOM,can be calculated. Finally, ACPS can be computed as the residual. The accuracy of ACPS based on this algorithm is 86% compared with the in situ measurements.

Dynamics Analysis of Surface Temperature and Vegetation Index in Settlement Area around the Lokon Volcano, Tomohon, North Sulawesi

Mount Lokon is an active mountain near residential areas such as cities Tomohon, Tondano, and Manado. Along with the increasing population and population development around Mount Lokon, vegetation is decreasing due to converting land from grassland to land use for human activities. Using Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS images, this study was conducted to analyze the surface temperature and vegetation index dynamics around Mount Lokon, including the residential areas. Found that an increase in mean temperature occurred, and the peak increased dramatically in 2018 with temperatures > 26˚C. This result, of course, correlates with the decreasing vegetation area. However, the decline occurred in 2020 due to decreased human activities and land clearing for new settlements caused by activity restrictions which were the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Reforestation efforts must be made to increase the vegetation around Mount Lokon, including residential areas. The average surface temperature can be controlled, and living creatures can be given comfort to living things around them even after the pandemic and human activities return to normal.

Crop classification based on the spectrotemporal signature derived from vegetation indices and accumulated temperature

Due to differences in environmental factors,the phenology of the same crop is different every year,causing divergent performances of the classifier built by spectral or time-series features Here,we proposed a random forest classifier(RFC)based on an asymmetric double S curve model fitted by accumulated temperature(AT)and Vegetation Index(VI),which can be applied in different years without ground samples.We built AT and VI time series from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer 8-day composites of land surface temperatures and Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8,respectively.The RFC was trained by characteristics from the asymmetric double S curve.We prepared RFC by ground samples of 2018 and 2019 and then mapped crops of the same region in 2017.Results indicated that,compared with diverse VI-AT series,the overall accuracy based on universal normalized vegetation index(UNVI)was the best of all(2017:F1=0.91,2018:F1=0.92,2019:F1=0.91)and better than that based on the UNVI-TIME series(2017:F1=0.84,2018:F1=0.81,2019:F1=0.88).It proved that the classification features from the VI-AT series have smaller intra-class differences in 2017,2018,and 2019.
