Earth remote sensing as an effective tool for the development of advanced innovative educational technologies

Current educational system is facing a contradiction between the fundamentality of engineering education and the necessity of applied learning extension, which requires new methods of training to combine both academic and practical knowledge in balance. As a result there are a number of innovations being developed and implemented into the process of education aimed at optimizing the quality of the entire educational system. Among a wide range of innovative educational technologies there is an especially important subset of educational technologies which involve learning through hands-on scientific and technical projects. The purpose of this paper is to describe the implementation of educational technologies based on small satellites development as well as the usage of Earth remote sensing data acquired from these satellites. The increase in public attention to the education through Earth remote sensing is based on the concern that although there is a great progress in the development of new methods of Earth imagery and remote sensing data acquisition there is still a big question remaining open on practical applications of this kind of data. It is important to develop the new way of thinking for the new generation of people so they understand that they are the masters of their own planet and they are responsible for its state. They should desire and should be able to use a powerful set of tools based on modern and perspective Earth remote sensing. For example NASA sponsors “Classroom of the Future” project. The Universities Space Research Association in United States provides a mechanism through which US universities can cooperate effectively with one another, with the government, and with other organizations to further space science and technology, and to promote education in these areas. It also aims at understanding the Earth as a system and promoting the role of humankind in the destiny of their own planet. The Association has founded a Journal of Earth System Science Education. Authors describe an effective model of educational technology developed in the Center for Earth Remote Sensing of Bauman Moscow State Technical University and based on scientific and educational organizations integration in the field of applied studies. The paper also presents how students are being trained to acquire and process satellite imagery data from Terra and Aqua satellites. It also reveals the results of space monitoring for Russia's ecologically complex regions conducted by Bauman Moscow State Technical University students in cooperation with specialists from the Laboratory for Aerospace Methods of Moscow State University named after M. Lomonosov.

遥感图像中基于Hough变换的直线提取算法

针对遥感图像中大型目标的直线特征提取问题,设计了一种基于类直线提取的改进霍夫(Hough)变换算法。类直线的提取相当于Hough变换的预处理,既约束了Hough变换所使用的直线上的特征点,改进了直接进行Hough变换时不同直线的特征点互相干扰的缺点,又降低了计算量。对图像空间的每条类直线分别进行Hough变换,改进投票过程的映射方式,寻找类直线中最多特征点所在的那条直线,只取一个投票峰值,在减小了计算复杂度的同时又去掉了虚假峰值的影响。实验结果表明,改进Hough变换直线特征提取算法性能好、效率高,可用于遥感图像处理领域。     

基于加权小波变换及MTFC的多光谱影像融合方法

IHS(intensity-hue-saturation)变换是影像融合实际生产中使用最多的一种方法,而小波变换是近几年来影像融合中的热门研究方向。但是现有方法存在纹理畸变和光谱畸变的现象,尤其是当地物光谱特性在全色和多光谱中存在较大差异的时候,融合后光谱畸变将会十分突出。为了解决上述问题,在分析现有小波变换方法的基础上提出了一种基于加权小波变换及调制传递函数补偿(MTFC)的多光谱影像融合方法,通过引入多相位小波变换的方式来抑制小波变换产生的纹理畸变,同时通过引入MTFC的方法来恢复影像融合中丢失的纹理信息。文章选用"高分二号"卫星影像来验证算法的有效性,试验结果表明,与现有的融合方法相比,文章中提出的算法能够很好地抑制影像中的光谱畸变,同时保留更多的有效纹理信息。     

Spatial and temporal monitoring of drought conditions using the satellite rainfall estimates and remote sensing optical and thermal measurements

Drought is an important natural disaster that causes devastating impacts on the ecosystem, livestock, environment, and society. So far, various remote-sensing methods have been developed to estimate drought conditions, each of which has advantages and restrictions. This study aims to monitor the real-time drought indices at the field scales via the integration of various earth observations. Our proposed method consists of two steps. In the first step, the relationships between long-term standardized precipitation indices (SPI) derived from PERSIANN-CDR rainfall data and two drought-dependent parameters derived from MODIS products, including normalized NDVI and soil-air temperature gradient, are obtained at the spatial resolution of PERSIANN-CDR grid (approximately 25 km). As the next step, the corresponding relationships are applied to estimate the drought index maps at the spatial resolution of MODIS products (1 km). Numerous analyses are carried out to evaluate the proposed method. The results revealed that, from various drought indices, including SPIs of different timescales (1, 3, 6, and 12-months), SPI-3 and SPI-6 are more appropriate to the proposed method in terms of correlation with temperature and vegetation parameters. The findings also demonstrate the competency of the proposed method in estimating SPI indices with average RMSE 0.67 and the average correlation coefficient of 0.74.     

基于支持向量机的无参考遥感图像质量评价方法

针对遥感图像主观评价方法的低效率以及常用客观评价方法无法充分考虑人眼对图像的感知特性的问题,文章提出了一种基于支持向量机的无参考遥感图像质量（quality）评价方法。首先建立遥感图像主观评价库,然后在不需要图像失真信息的基础上,利用支持向量机（SVM）将图像的失真类型分为三类,并对每类进行单项评价,再通过加权得到遥感图像的总评分,最后将本文方法、信噪比与信息熵的评价结果回归到主观评价空间并进行对比。实验证明,文章所提方法能客观地评价遥感图像的质量,且优于信噪比和信息熵两种质量评价方法,其结果与人眼视觉感受相符。
