    Extreme precipitation events are intensifying due to a warming climate, which, in some cases, is leading to increases in flooding. Detection of flood extent is essential for flood disaster response, management, and prevention. However, it is challenging to delineate inundated areas through most publicly available optical and short-wavelength radar data, as neither can โ€œseeโ€ through dense forest canopies. In 2018, Hurricane Florence produced heavy rainfall and subsequent record-setting riverine flooding in North Carolina, USA. NASA/JPL collected daily high-resolution full-polarized L-band Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR) data between September 18th and 23rd. Here, we use UAVSAR data to construct a flood inundation detection framework through a combination of polarimetric decomposition methods and a Random Forest classifier. Validation of the established models with compiled ground references shows that the incorporation of linear polarizations with polarimetric decomposition and terrain variables significantly enhances the accuracy of inundation classification, and the Kappa statistic increases to 91.4% from 64.3% with linear polarizations alone. We show that floods receded faster near the upper reaches of the Neuse, Cape Fear, and Lumbee Rivers. Meanwhile, along the flat terrain close to the lower reaches of the Cape Fear River, the flood wave traveled downstream during the observation period, resulting in the flood extent expanding 16.1% during the observation period. In addition to revealing flood inundation changes spatially, flood maps such as those produced here have great potential for assessing flood damages, supporting disaster relief, and assisting hydrodynamic modeling to achieve flood-resilience goals

    Polarization Optimization for the Detection of Multiple Persistent Scatterers Using SAR Tomography

    The detection of multiple interfering persistent scatterers (PSs) using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) tomography is an efficient tool for generating point clouds of urban areas. In this context, detection methods based upon the polarization information of SAR data are effective at increasing the number of PSs and producing high-density point clouds. This paper presents a comparative study on the effects of the polarization design of a radar antenna on further improving the probability of detecting persistent scatterers. For this purpose, we introduce an extension of the existing scattering property-based generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) with realistic dependence on the transmitted/received polarizations. The test is based upon polarization basis optimization by synthesizing all possible polarimetric responses of a given scatterer from its measurements on a linear orthonormal basis. Experiments on both simulated and real data show, by means of objective metrics (probability of detection, false alarm rate, and signal-to-noise ratio), that polarization waveform optimization can provide a significant performance gain in the detection of multiple scatterers compared to the existing full-polarization-based detection method. In particular, the increased density of detected PSs at the studied test sites demonstrates the main contribution of the proposed method

SAR system has been known as a powerful and effective tool for estimating damaged area due to its imaging capability at night and cloudy days. One of the damage assessment methods is based on interferometric coherence generated from two or more SAR images, namely coherent change detection. The interferometric coherence is a very sensitive detector to subtle changes induced by dielectric properties and positional disturbance of scatterers. However, the conventional approaches using the interferometric coherence have several limitations in understanding the damage mechanism caused by natural disasters and providing the accurate spatial information. These limitations come from the complicated mechanism determining the coherence. A number of sources including the sensor geometry, radar parameters, and surface conditions can induce the decorrelation. In particular, the interpretation complexity of the interferometric coherence is severe over the vegetated area, due to the volumetric decorrelation and temporal decorrelation. It is a remaining problem that the decorrelation caused by the natural phenomena such as the wind, rain, and snow can come along the decorrelation caused by natural disaster. Therefore, a new accurate approach needs to be designed in order to interpret the decorrelation sources and discriminate the effect of natural disaster from that of natural phenomena. This research starts from the development of the temporal decorrelation model to interpret the interferometric coherence observed in multi-temporal SAR data. Then, the coherence model is extended to be applied to the damage mapping algorithm for single- and fully-polarimetric SAR data for detecting the damaged area caused by volcanic ash and wildfire. The coherence model is designed so that it explains the coherence behavior observed in the multi-temporal SAR data. The noticeable characteristic is that the interferometric coherence tends to decrease as the time-interval increases. Also, the coherence for multi-layer is determined by the different contributions of each layer. For example, the volume and ground layer can affect the total coherence observed in the forest area. In order to reflect the realistic condition and physically interpret the coherence, the coherence model proposed in this research includes several decorrelation sources such as temporally correlated dielectric changes, temporally uncorrelated dielectric changes and the motions in the two layersi.e. ground and volume layer. According to the proposed model, the coherent behavior of each layer is explained by exponentially decreasing coherence (temporally-correlated coherence), and the difference between the observed coherence and the temporally-correlated coherence is interpreted as the temporally-uncorrelated coherence. The ground-to-volume ratio plays an important role to determine the contributions of temporal decorrelations in ground and volume layer. Suggested model is applied into the coherent change detection for multi-temporal and single-polarized SAR data. The method is evaluated for detection of volcanic ash emitted from Kirishima volcano in 2011 using ALOS PALSAR data. The criterion of the spatial baseline is calculated based on the Random Volume over Ground model to minimize the volumetric decorrelation. The model parameters are extracted under the several assumptions, and then the historical coherence behavior is analyzed using kernel density estimation method. By comparing the changes of model parameters between the reference pairs and event pairs, the probability of surface changes caused by volcanic ash is defined. The in-situ data, which measure the depth and area density of volcanic ash, is compared with the calculated probability maps for determining the threshold and evaluating the performance. The correlation is found over the area where the depth of the volcanic ash is more than 5 cm and the area density is more than 10 kg/m2. The temporal decorrelation model is also used for change detection using multi-temporal and fully-polarimetric interferometric SAR data. By introducing polarimetric and interferometric SAR data, the assumptions used in the method for single-polarized SAR data are reduced and the changes of two layer can be estimated separately. The approach is applied to detect the burnt area caused by the Lake fire, in June 2015 using UAVSAR data. Even though, coherence analysis shows the loss of coherence due to the fire event, the temporal decorrelation caused by the natural changes is mixed with the signal of the event. In order to apply the coherence model and extract the model parameter, here, the three steps are proposedcoherence optimization, temporally-correlated coherence estimation, and temporally-uncorrelated coherence estimation. Then, the extracted model parameters are used for the damage assessment using the probability determination based on the history of natural phenomena. The final generated damage map shows higher performance than the damage mapping method using coherence only. Also, the comparison result with the RMoG model shows high agreement, which implies the extraction of the model parameters is reliable. One of the advantages of the proposed algorithm is that the more accurate delineation of damage area can be expected by isolating the decorrelation caused by the natural disaster from the effect of natural phenomena. Moreover, a distinguishable benefit can be obtained that the changes over ground and volume layers can be assessed separately by utilizing the multi-temporal full-polarimetric SAR data.Chapter 1.

    Multitemporal SAR and polarimetric SAR optimization and classification: Reinterpreting temporal coherence

    In multitemporal synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and polarimetric SAR (PolSAR), coherence is a capital parameter to exploit common information between temporal acquisitions. Yet, its use is limited to high coherences. This article proposes the analysis of low-coherence scenarios by introducing a reinterpretation of coherence. It is demonstrated that coherence results from the product of two terms accounting for coherent and radiometric changes, respectively. For low coherences, the first term presents low values, preventing its exploitation for information retrieval. The information provided by the second term can be used in these circumstances to exploit common information. This second term is proposed, as an alternative to coherence, for information retrieval for low coherences. Besides, it is shown that polarimetry allows the temporal optimization of its values. To prove the benefits of this approach, multitemporal SAR and PolSAR data classification is considered as a tool, showing that improvements of the classification overall accuracy may range between 20% and 50%, compared to classification based on coherence.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 61871413, in part by the China Scholarship Council under Grant 2020006880033, and in part by the Project INTERACT funded by the Spanish MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 under Grant PID2020-114623RB-C32.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

    Landslides are a common natural hazard that causes human casualties, but also infrastructure damage and land-use degradation. Therefore, a quantitative assessment of their presence is required by means of detecting and recognizing the potentially unstable areas. This research aims to develop a method supported on semiautomatic methods to detect potential mass movements at a regional scale. Five techniques were studied: Morphometry, SAR interferometry (InSAR), Persistent Scatterer InSAR (PS-InSAR), SAR polarimetry (PolSAR) and NDVI composites of Landsat 5, Landsat 7, and Landsat 8. The case study was chosen within the mid-eastern area of the Cauca state, which is characterised by its mountainous terrain and the presence of slope instabilities, officially registered in the CGS-SIMMA landslide inventory. This inventory revealed that the type `slide' occurred with 77.4% from the entire registries, `fall' with 16.5%, followed by `creeps' with 3%, flows with 2.6%, and `lateral spread' with 0.43%. As a result, we obtained the morphometric variables: slope, CONVI, TWI, landform, which were highly associated with landslides. The effect of a DEM in the processing flow of the InSAR method was similar for the InSAR coherence variable using the DEMs ASTER, PALSAR RTC, Topo-map, and SRTM. Then, a multiInSAR analysis gave displacement velocities in the LOS direction between -10 and 10 mm/year. With the dual-PolSAR analysis (Sentinel-1), VH and VV C-band polarised radar energy emitted median values of backscatters, for landslides, about of -14.5 dB for VH polarisation and -8.5 dB for VV polarisation. Also, L-band fully polarimetric NASA-UAVSAR data allowed to nd the mechanism of dispersion of CGS landslide inventory: 39% for surface scattering, 46.4% for volume dispersion, and 14.6% for double-bounce scattering. The optical remote sensing provided NDVI composites derived from Landsat series between 2012 and 2016, showing that NDVI values between 0.40 and 0.70 had a high correlation to landslides. In summary, we found the highest categories related to landslides by Weight of Evidence method (WofE) for each spaceborne technique applied. Finally, these results were merged to generate the landslide detection model by using the supervised machine learning method of Random Forest. By taking training and test samples, the precision of the detection model was of about 70% for the rotational and translational types.Los deslizamientos son una amenaza natural que causa pรฉrdidas humanas, daรฑos a la infraestructura y degradaciรณn del suelo.

    Multi-source Remote Sensing for Forest Characterization and Monitoring

    As a dominant terrestrial ecosystem of the Earth, forest environments play profound roles in ecology, biodiversity, resource utilization, and management, which highlights the significance of forest characterization and monitoring. Some forest parameters can help track climate change and quantify the global carbon cycle and therefore attract growing attention from various research communities. Compared with traditional in-situ methods with expensive and time-consuming field works involved, airborne and spaceborne remote sensors collect cost-efficient and consistent observations at global or regional scales and have been proven to be an effective way for forest monitoring. With the looming paradigm shift toward data-intensive science and the development of remote sensors, remote sensing data with higher resolution and diversity have been the mainstream in data analysis and processing. However, significant heterogeneities in the multi-source remote sensing data largely restrain its forest applications urging the research community to come up with effective synergistic strategies. The work presented in this thesis contributes to the field by exploring the potential of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), SAR Polarimetry (PolSAR), SAR Interferometry (InSAR), Polarimetric SAR Interferometry (PolInSAR), Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), and multispectral remote sensing in forest characterization and monitoring from three main aspects including forest height estimation, active fire detection, and burned area mapping. First, the forest height inversion is demonstrated using airborne L-band dual-baseline repeat-pass PolInSAR data based on modified versions of the Random Motion over Ground (RMoG) model, where the scattering attenuation and wind-derived random motion are described in conditions of homogeneous and heterogeneous volume layer, respectively. A boreal and a tropical forest test site are involved in the experiment to explore the flexibility of different models over different forest types and based on that, a leveraging strategy is proposed to boost the accuracy of forest height estimation. The accuracy of the model-based forest height inversion is limited by the discrepancy between the theoretical models and actual scenarios and exhibits a strong dependency on the system and scenario parameters. Hence, high vertical accuracy LiDAR samples are employed to assist the PolInSAR-based forest height estimation. This multi-source forest height estimation is reformulated as a pan-sharpening task aiming to generate forest heights with high spatial resolution and vertical accuracy based on the synergy of the sparse LiDAR-derived heights and the information embedded in the PolInSAR data. This process is realized by a specifically designed generative adversarial network (GAN) allowing high accuracy forest height estimation less limited by theoretical models and system parameters. Related experiments are carried out over a boreal and a tropical forest to validate the flexibility of the method. An automated active fire detection framework is proposed for the medium resolution multispectral remote sensing data. The basic part of this framework is a deep-learning-based semantic segmentation model specifically designed for active fire detection. A dataset is constructed with open-access Sentinel-2 imagery for the training and testing of the deep-learning model. The developed framework allows an automated Sentinel-2 data download, processing, and generation of the active fire detection results through time and location information provided by the user. Related performance is evaluated in terms of detection accuracy and processing efficiency. The last part of this thesis explored whether the coarse burned area products can be further improved through the synergy of multispectral, SAR, and InSAR features with higher spatial resolutions. A Siamese Self-Attention (SSA) classification is proposed for the multi-sensor burned area mapping and a multi-source dataset is constructed at the object level for the training and testing. Results are analyzed by different test sites, feature sources, and classification methods to assess the improvements achieved by the proposed method. All developed methods are validated with extensive processing of multi-source data acquired by Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR), Land, Vegetation, and Ice Sensor (LVIS), PolSARproSim+, Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-2. I hope these studies constitute a substantial contribution to the forest applications of multi-source remote sensing

    The recent launch of spaceborne (TerraSAR-X, RADARSAT-2, ALOS-PALSAR, RISAT) and airborne (SIRC, AIRSAR, UAVSAR, PISAR) polarimetric radar sensors, with capability of imaging through day and night in almost all weather conditions, has made polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image interpretation and analysis an active area of research. PolSAR image classification is sensitive to object orientation and scattering properties. In recent years, significant work has been done in many areas including agriculture, forestry, oceanography, geology, terrain analysis. Visible light passive polarimetric imaging has also emerged as a powerful tool in remote sensing for enhanced information extraction. The intensity image provides information on materials in the scene while polarization measurements capture surface features, roughness, and shading, often uncorrelated with the intensity image. Advantages of visible light polarimetric imaging include high dynamic range of polarimetric signatures and being comparatively straightforward to build and calibrate. This research is about characterization and analysis of the basic scattering mechanisms for information fusion between PolSAR and passive visible light polarimetric imaging. Relationships between these two modes of imaging are established using laboratory measurements and image simulations using the Digital Image and Remote Sensing Image Generation (DIRSIG) tool. A novel low cost laboratory based S-band (2.4GHz) PolSAR instrument is developed that is capable of capturing 4 channel fully polarimetric SAR image data. Simple radar targets are formed and system calibration is performed in terms of radar cross-section. Experimental measurements are done using combination of the PolSAR instrument with visible light polarimetric imager for scenes capturing basic scattering mechanisms for phenomenology studies. The three major scattering mechanisms studied in this research include single, double and multiple bounce. Single bounce occurs from flat surfaces like lakes, rivers, bare soil, and oceans. Double bounce can be observed from two adjacent surfaces where one horizontal flat surface is near a vertical surface such as buildings and other vertical structures. Randomly oriented scatters in homogeneous media produce a multiple bounce scattering effect which occurs in forest canopies and vegetated areas. Relationships between Pauli color components from PolSAR and Degree of Linear Polarization (DOLP) from passive visible light polarimetric imaging are established using real measurements. Results show higher values of the red channel in Pauli color image (|HH-VV|) correspond to high DOLP from double bounce effect. A novel information fusion technique is applied to combine information from the two modes. In this research, it is demonstrated that the Degree of Linear Polarization (DOLP) from passive visible light polarimetric imaging can be used for separation of the classes in terms of scattering mechanisms from the PolSAR data. The separation of these three classes in terms of the scattering mechanisms has its application in the area of land cover classification and anomaly detection. The fusion of information from these particular two modes of imaging, i.e. PolSAR and passive visible light polarimetric imaging, is a largely unexplored area in remote sensing and the main challenge in this research is to identify areas and scenarios where information fusion between the two modes is advantageous for separation of the classes in terms of scattering mechanisms relative to separation achieved with only PolSAR

    This dissertation research investigated LiDAR and SAR remote sensing for assessing aboveground biomass and monitoring changes from anthropogenic forest disturbance and post-disturbance recovery. First, waveform LiDAR data were applied to map forest biomass and its changes at different key map scales for the two study sites: Howland Forest and Penobscot Experimental Forest. Results indicated that the prediction model at the scale of individual LVIS footprints is reliable when the geolocation errors are minimized. The evaluation showed that the predictions were improved markedly (20% R2 and 10% RMSE) with the increase of plot sizes from 0.25 ha to 1.0 ha. The effect of disturbance on the prediction model was strong at the footprint level but weak at the 1.0 ha plot-level. Errors reached minimum when footprint coverage approached about 50% of the area of 1.0 ha plots (16 footprints) with no improvement beyond that. Then, a sensitivity analysis was conducted for multi-source L-band SAR signatures, to change in forest biomass and related factors such as incidence angle, soil moisture, and disturbance type. The effect of incidence angle on SAR backscatter was reduced by an empirical model. A cross-image normalization was used to reduce the radiometric distortions due to changes in acquisition conditions such as soil moisture. Results demonstrated that the normalization ensured that the derived biomass of regrowth forests was cross-calibrated, and thus made the detection of biomass change possible. Further, the forest biomass was mapped for 1989, 1994 and 2009 using multi-source SAR data, and changes in biomass were derived for a 15- and a 20-year period. Results improved our understanding of issues concerning the mapping of biomass dynamic using L-ban SAR data. With the increase of plot sizes, the speckle noise and geolocations errors were reduced. Multivariable models were found to outperform the single-term models developed for biomass estimation. The main contribution of this research was an improved knowledge concerning waveform LiDAR and L-band SARโ€™s ability in monitoring the changes in biomass in a temperate forest. Results from this study provide calibration and validation methods as a foundation for improving the performance of current and future spaceborne systems
