土地利用/覆盖变化是地球上最重要的景观之一,同全球环境变化高度相关。通过对全球变化的整体模拟以及综合评价研究,可以了解全球气候变化运行机制以及人地关系。同时,全球尺度的土地利用/覆盖变化及其驱动机制研究,将揭示人类在全球气候变化机制中所起的作用,使人类更好地适应全球环境的变化。目前全球尺度的土地利用/覆盖研究大多是基于现有的五种欧洲或美国开发的全球地表覆盖产品,这些产品在一定程度上满足了全球变化研究的基本要求。但是,仍然存在一些不足之处,如统一的分类系统,精度低,产品之间的不一致以及低时效性等,使得这些产品并不适合全球环境变化的对比研究,也不能满足建立更高的精度和更可靠的全球气候变化模型的要求。因此,开发高分辨率,实时的地表覆盖产品,已成为当前全球变化研究的紧迫需要。 / 目前,遥感影像已广泛被用于制作全球地表覆盖产品,但由于传感器的技术要求和资金预算的限制,影像的空间和时间分辨率不能满足更高精度和可靠的全球变化研究需要。鉴于此,迫切需要我们研究和开发更加先进的卫星影像处理方法和地表覆盖产品的生产技术,为全球变化研究提供高精度和高可靠性的地表覆盖产品。 / 因此,为了提供更多的时间和更高空间分辨率的卫星影像以及地表覆盖产品,以更好地开展全球变化研究。本文主要从技术层面上,研究利用多源遥感影像的优点,生成高分辨率和多时相的卫星合成影像,并在此基础上发展了卫星数据融合理论和方法。本文研究中,传统的光谱空间数据融合理论将被回顾和充分讨论,考虑到卫星影像的多时相特征,传统的数据融合理论在时间维度得到扩展,本文将提出新的时空数据融合方法,并应用于植被监测和土地利用制图。 / 通过对融合理论及相关方法的系统学习,本文对各种融合方法进行了系统的回顾与总结,比如基于HIS变换图像融合方法 ,基于小波变换的图像融合方法,时空自适应反射融合模型(STARFM)等,并从遥感应用的角度,提出各种方法的优缺点。结合本文的研究目标,以下为本论文的主要研究内容。 / (1)数据融合相关理论将得到系统的研究和总结,包括各种融合模型及其应用,如基于IHS变换,PCA变换,或者小波分析的数据融合方法,等等。同时,结合具体应用归纳并总结了这些方法的优缺点。 / (2)由于传统数据融合方法依赖于空间及光谱信息,很难处理多源影像数据所蕴含的时空变化信息。因此,本文中,传统数据融合理论和方法在考虑到时间信息后得到改善和扩展。本文通过结合高空间分辨率Landsat数据和高时间分辨率MODIS数据为例,提出两种不同的时空数据融合方法。实验结果也表明,他们适合于处理多时空数据集成, 并能够满足全球变化研究对高质量数据的需要。 / (3)时空数据融合建模中的主要问题有两个,第一个问题是不同数据源之间具有不一致性,如不同卫星数据具有不同的地表反射率以及不同的数据可靠性。第二个是地表覆盖的季节性或者土地利用变化规则在空间和时间的维度具有不确定性,尤其是在复杂地区。考虑这些问题,本文在基于时间和空间自适应反射融合模型(STARFM)的基础上,提出一种新的改进模型,结果表明,它将比原有模型更为有效和更为准确的生成高分辨率合成影像数据。 / (4)混合像元问题是处理卫星数据中的一个常见问题。对于多源卫星数据来说,一个低分辨率图像像素区域将包含多个高分辨率图像像素。因此,不同数据源所获得的遥感数据将会因为混合像元问题从而影响到地表反射率数据在空间尺度上的差异,并影响到最终的融合精度。为了解决时空多源数据融合中的混合像元问题,本文将提出一种改进的基于附加条件的混合像元解缠的时空数据融合方法,实验结果表明它是适合植被监测应用,特别是具有先验土地覆盖图的地区。 / (5)在时空数据融合方法产生的一系列高分辨率合成影像的基础上,时空马尔可夫随机场分类方法被提出并用于研制生产高分辨率土地覆盖产品,该方法利用影像的时空上下文信息。这种方法提供了新的策略去制作土地覆盖产品 ,在缺乏高分辨率影像的地区。实验结果表明,它的精度是可以接受的,可以为缺乏高分辨率数据地区提供高品质的土地覆盖产品。 / Land use/cover change is one of the most important landscapes on the earth and it is highly related to global environmental change, based on which an overall simulation and comprehensive evaluation of global change research can be achieved for understanding the global change mechanism and the linkages between the human and natural environments. Moreover, study of global-scale land use/cover change and its driving mechanism will reveal the human role in global change mechanisms and processes for human adaptation to global environmental change. Most of the current global-scale land use/cover research is based on the existing five land cover products that have been developed by Europe and the US, and these indeed meet the basic requirements for the global change research to some extent. However, certain shortcomings still exist, such as their unified classification system, low accuracy, poor inconsistency, weak timeliness, etc., so, it is impossible to take the comparative global environmental change research as a basis for building more highly accurate and more reliable global change models, and it is urgent and necessary to develop a high-resolution, and up-to-date land cover product for global change research. / Currently, remote sensing imagery has been widely used for generating global land cover products, but due to certain physical and budget limitations related to the sensors, their spatial and temporal resolution are too low to attain more accurate and more reliable global change research. In this situation, there is an urgent need to study and develop a more advanced satellite image processing method and land cover producing techniques to generate higher resolution images and land cover products for global change research. / Accordingly, in order to provide more multi-temporal, high-resolution images and land cover products for global change research, this research mainly focuses on the technical level, of using both advantages of satellite images from different sources to generate high-resolution, multi-temporal images and develop satellite data fusion theory and methods. In this research, the traditional data fusion theory will be fully discussed and an improved scheme will be produced, taking into consideration the temporal information from satellite images at different times. Consequently, the spatial and temporal data fusion method will be proposed and applied to the monitoring of vegetation growth and land cover mapping. / Through conducting a comprehensive study of the related theories and methods related to data fusion, various methods are systematically reviewed and summarized, such as HIS transformation image fusion, Wavelet transform image fusion, the Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model (STARFM), etc. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are highlighted according to their specific applications in the field of remote sensing. Based on my research target, the following are the main contents of this thesis: / (1) Data fusion theory will be systematically studied and summarized, including various fusion models and specific applications, such as IHS transformation, PCA transformation, Wavelet analysis based data fusion, etc. Furthermore, their advantages and disadvantages are pointed out in relation to specific applications. / (2) As traditional data fusion methods rely on spatial information and it is hard to deal with multi-source data fusion with temporal variation, therefore, the traditional data fusion theory and methods will be improved by a consideration of temporal information. Accordingly, some spatial and temporal data fusion methods will be proposed, in which both high-resolution & low-temporary imagery and low-resolution & high-temporary imagery are incorporated. Our experiments also show that they are suitable for dealing with multi-temporal data integration and generating high-resolution, multi-temporal images for global change research. / (3) There are two main issues related to spatial and temporal data fusion theory. The first is that there are inconsistencies in different images, such as the different levels of land surface reflectance and different degrees of reliability of multi-source satellite data. The second is the rule of phonological variation/land cover variation in both the spatial and temporal dimensions, particularly in areas with heterogeneous landscapes. When considering these issues, an improved STARFM (spatial and temporal adaptive reflectance fusion model) is proposed, based on the original model, and the preliminary results show that it is more efficient and accurate in generating high-resolution land surface imagery than its predecessor. / (4) Mixed pixels is a common issue in relation to satellite data processing, as one pixel in a coarse resolution image will constitute several pixels in a high-resolution image of the same size, so different levels of land surface reflectance will be acquired from multi-source satellite data because of the mixed pixel effect on the coarse resolution data, and the final accuracy of the fused result will be affected if these data are subjected to data fusion. In order to solve the mixed pixel issue in multi-source data fusion, an improved spatial and temporal data fusion approach, based on the constraint unmixing technique, was developed in this thesis. The experimental results show that it is well-suited to the phenological monitoring task when a prior land cover map is available. / (5) Based on the high-resolution reflectance images generated from spatial and temporal fusion, a spatial and temporal classification method based on the spatial and temporal Markov random field was developed to produce a high-resolution land cover product, in which both spatial and temporal contextual information are included within the classification scheme. This method provides a new strategy for generating high-resolution land cover products in the area without high-resolution images at a certain time, and the experimental results show that it is acceptable and suitable for generating high quality land cover products in areas for which there is a lack of high-resolution data. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Xu, Yong. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 151-158). / Electronic reproduction.
