    Acta Geodaetica et Cartographica Sinica    2022, 51 (5): 640-647.   DOI: 10.11947/j.AGCS.2022.20210473

    Precise orbit prediction of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites is one of the important technologies for LEO navigation enhancement system. In this paper, we use a variety of algorithms to realize orbit prediction under different mission requirements. For LEO orbit prediction on ground, algorithm 1 processes orbit determination and prediction simultaneously. In algorithm 2, the discrete orbit points are fitted dynamically and then orbit integral is extrapolated. The average predicted user range error (URE) accuracy of GRACE-C satellite in 5, 10 and 15 minutes is 5.25, 5.67, 6.25 cm, that of HY2A satellite is 7.83, 8.69, 9.66 cm, that of SWARM-A satellite is 8.88, 9.22, 9.63 cm, and that of SWARM-B satellite is 8.49, 8.98, 9.63 cm. For LEO orbit prediction on board with limited calculation conditions, an orbit integral extrapolation algorithm with a single orbit point and simple dynamic models is used. Because this method mainly considers the perturbation of the Earth's central gravity and non-spherical gravity, the order of the Earth's gravity field has a significant impact on the accuracy of orbit prediction. 60 order gravity field is selected for LEO satellite with an average height of 500 km and 30 order gravity field is selected for LEO satellite with an average height of 1000 km, which can realize the prediction accuracy of about 10 cm for 10 min arc length.

    Deep learning technology has become the mainstream method of remote sensing image change detection research. Existing change detection methods based on deep learning mainly obtain the change characteristics of a single scale. In the real scene, the scale of the change area is diverse. Therefore, we propose a change detection method of multi-scale feature attention fusion, which solves the multi-scale problem of change detection by focusing on multi-scale fusion strategy. We take advantage of the multi-scale characteristics of the feature pyramid network, the purpose is to enable the network to learn change features in different scales; meanwhile, in order to improve receptive field of network and exploit global information, atrous convolutional spatial pyramid module is introduced at the end of the feature extraction network; In addition, when different change features are fused, the change feature fusion module is used to control information flow to reduce the difference in feature fusion; Finally, the gating mechanism is utilized to perform weighted summation of the change feature maps predicted by different scales, and a high precision change feature map is generated. The proposed method can not only obtain multi-scale change features, but also use global information and precise spatial details to improve the spatial accuracy of the predicted feature maps. Experimental results show that our method has achieved competitive results on the change detection benchmark datasets CDD and LEVIR-CD, and the recall rate has increased by 6.58% and 5.26%, respectively.

    Abstract681)   HTML31)    PDF(pc) (8996KB)(432)       Save
    To evaluate the quality of MBES's data more accurately, an improved error model is derived that combines effects of echo detection methods and draft and heave correction errors, based on the constant gradient sound velocity tracking model and Rob Hare's classic error classification. The correctness of the improved model is verified through the decomposition and comparison of error sources and the comparison of the errors in the intersections; the example calculations show that the model can reduce the errors in the intersections of the CUBE surface by 2% compared with the Rob Hare model. The improved model considers more error factors, describes the error distribution law of measuring points more finely, and the error composition is more perfect. The improved model is helpful to find out the problem and strip the error source, analyze the magnitude of the error caused by each error source more accurately, and the research results provide theoretical basis and technical support for data quality control and data verification.

    WANG Dandi, XING Shuai, XU Qing, LIN Yuzhun, LI Pengcheng
    Acta Geodaetica et Cartographica Sinica    2022, 51 (5): 750-761.   DOI: 10.11947/j.AGCS.2022.20200314

    Sea-land waveform classification is a preprocessing procedure for airborne LiDAR bathymetry (ALB), which is related to the accuracy of subsequent signal detection and point cloud generation. However, the existing methods are not applicable for single-wavelength ALB systems and have low degree of automation. Thus, an automatic sea-land waveform classification method for single-wavelength ALB is proposed. The point cloud elevation features are firstly obtained by the detection of the first and last signals and the calculation of the point coordinates. With the mean water level elevation approximated by elevation histogram fitting, most of the sea and land waveforms are classified based on the elevation features. The remaining undefined waveforms are processed as single-signal waveforms with only the strongest signal retained. The signal features and energy distribution features are extracted from the waveforms, and a train sample set is automatically generated using the similarity of point cloud elevation features. The sea-land labels of the undefined waveforms are finally determined by a support vector machine classifier. The field data collected by a domestic ALB system (Mapper5000) are used to test the proposed method. The experimental results show that the initial classification based on the point cloud elevation features can quickly and accurately classify the waveforms away from the sea-land boundary, and the undefined waveform classification based on waveform features can automatically classify the waveforms closed to the sea-land boundary with the support of the self-established train sample set. Compared to the traditional methods, the proposed method can achieve high accuracy sea-land classification without the assistance of near-infrared channel and manual samples, and the overall accuracy and the accuracy of the areas closed to sea-land boundary reach 99.82% and 91.59%, respectively.

    Acta Geodaetica et Cartographica Sinica    2022, 51 (5): 703-717.   DOI: 10.11947/j.AGCS.2022.20210020

    Multi-head panoramic camera(MPC) is a kind of integrated optical system with ultra-wide field of view and can image an entire hemisphere onto a flat image plane through image stitching technique. But for actual scenes, the spherical video outputted by MPC often generates undesirable visual artifacts. This paper presents a method to generate seamless spherical video suitable for any scene. It mainly includes two aspects:① Estimation of MPC spherical projection parameters. Taking the tie points(pixels) detected in overlapping area as the observation values, those parameters are automatically estimated though minimizing the angle between the spherical projection center and corresponding spherical space points with the least square technique. As a result, the MPC video stitching errors caused by inaccurate calibration parameters, depth change of scene content and the inconsistency between MPC are effectively reduced; ② Establishment of TPS model for MPC spherical video generation. This model is established using the spherical re-projection geometry of MPC video pixels as global transformation and estimated with the salient pixels along selected seam line. As a result, video pixels of MPC sub-cameras can be directly mapped to the stitched spherical video with minimal pixel error in the overlapping area and the visual artifacts are completely eliminated simply by linearly mixing the pixels around selected seam line. The experimental results on stimulated and real scene show that, proposed method can generate seamless spherical Panoramic video for MPC used in various scene. In addition, proposed method is implemented efficient and can meet the requirements of high frame rate video output of MPC, and has good application value.

    Self-supervised learning can extract features from remote sensing images without relying on sample labels, but supervised method is still required to complete feature classification. To overcome the shortcomings of feature classification process and automatically classify remote sensing image features, an unsupervised semantic clustering method based on semi-supervised learning is proposed. First, the features of remote sensing images are extracted using self-supervised learning to abstract the high-level semantic information contained in the images. Then, each sample's closest neighbors are found based on the feature similarity, and a linear classifier is trained by clustering similar samples into one class using the online clustering method. Finally, based on the clustering results, pseudo labels are generated for samples with high confidence to construct a label sample set, and the model is fine-tuned using a semi-supervised method. Four public remote sensing image scene classification datasets, EuroSAT, GID, AID and NWPU-RESISC45, were validated, and the classification accuracy reached 94.84%, 63.55%, 76.42% and 86.24%, respectively. The method presented in this paper combines the advantages of online clustering and semi-supervised learning, alleviates the problems of error accumulation and insufficient sample utilization in existing methods. It makes full use of the self-supervised features to train the classification model and complete the scene classification of remote sensing images without using labeled samples at all. It achieves the classification effect close to supervised learning and has good application value.

    The existing methods cannot fully take into account the multi-band spectral information of remote sensing images, and ignore the multi-scale characteristics of geographical elements in remote sensing images. This study proposed an unsupervised evaluation method for automatically determining the optimal segmentation result of high-spatial resolution remote sensing image. This method generates the spectral information divergence based on information entropy, and uses the spectral information divergence to construct the indexes that can express the intra-segment homogeneity and inter-segment heterogeneity. Based on the constructed homogeneity and heterogeneity indexes, the strategy of "rough estimation + fine determination" is adopted to gradually obtain an optimal image segmentation result after multi-level optimization. The proposed method was carried out in three different underlying surface image areas. Experimental results demonstrate that the method can effectively automatically determine the optimal segmentation results of high-spatial resolution remote sensing images. Compared with existing methods, the optimal image segmentation results determined by the method have higher quality and are closer to the reference segmentation results.

    To solve the rank deficiency problem of single-frequency precise point positioning (PPP) caused by calculating ionospheric delay simultaneously, an algorithm using multi-epoch observations is proposed in this paper. Based on the characteristic that the ambiguity is invariable without cycle slip, only one ambiguity parameter is set in the multi-epoch joint data, so as to solve the rank deficiency without the constraint of external prior information. In addition, the time correlation between parameters and observations are considered, and the square root information filtering (SRIF) with additional constraints to some parameters between epochs is utilized to overcome the ill-conditioned nature and obtain more reliable results. 14 days observation data from 15 IGS stations are used in the experiment,the static positioning accuracy is better than 3 cm, and the simulated dynamic solution is 1.5 dm. Compared with the single-frequency PPP method which estimates the ionospheric delay, the convergence speed is increased by 24%, and approximately reaches the level of the dual-frequency ionospheric-free PPP algorithm. The positioning accuracy is improved by 30%, and especially a significant increase in the vertical component.

    The integrity and accuracy of the pedestrian road network is the key to ensuring pedestrian navigation services. Most of the current pedestrian road networks are constructed based on outdoor road facilities, lacking data support for indoor walkable paths, and cannot provide accurate and true optimal path planning services in navigation applications. In view of this, this article proposes a method for constructing an integrated indoor and outdoor pedestrian road network based on crowd-sourced data. It uses crowd-sourced trajectories recorded by smartphone positioning sensors and inertial sensors. The missing or drifting indoor walking data is first filtered, and then used the improved pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) method calculates accurate indoor trajectories, and then uses Morse theory to generate a complete pedestrian road network covering indoor and outdoor pedestrian paths. In the experimental analysis, the pedestrian road network was constructed on the collected 260 walking trajectory data, and the real road network data was collected by high-precision measurement equipment for comparative analysis, and the experimental results were comprehensively evaluated with the Open Street Map data. Experimental results show that the method in this paper can accurately and completely generate an integrated indoor and outdoor pedestrian road network.

    In order to obtain high-precision positioning, precise point positioning (PPP) user side should keep the the consistent satellite attitude model with analysis centers. Based on the satellite attitude quaternions products provided by the Wuhan university analysis centers (WUM), we introduce the yaw angle computation method that uses satellite attitude quaternions. When the BDS-2/BDS-3 satellite is at a low sun elevation angle, the satellite attitude model strategy of WUM is analyzed. By using the open-source positioning software GAMP, the BDS-2/BDS-3 PPP solutions are also investigated with different satellite attitude strategies. During the deep eclipse season, the results demonstrate that the differences between nominal and quaternion yaw angles can reach 360°, which can cause the decimeter-level biases in the phase wind-up and antenna phase center offset correction. In this period, compared with the nominal attitude, the positioning accuracy of PPP solutions with satellite attitude quaternions can be improved approximately 32%, 29% and 38% in the earth (E), north (N) and up (U) components, respectively. Furthermore, the positioning accuracy of PPP solutions with satellite attitude quaternions can be improved approximately 29%,25% and 28%in the E, N and U components, respectively, when compared to that of the deleting the eclipsing satellite strategy(deleting satellite at the farthest and closest point of the orbit). The inconsistent attitude models would reduce the reliability of PPP positioning results, so the satellite attitude quaternions that provided from the analysis centers should be used for phase wind-up and antenna phase center offset correction in the PPP user side.

    An indoor navigation network is the basis of indoor path planning and navigation. The existing indoor navigation networks have some shortcomings such as unreasonable topological connection structure and unnatural geometric shape of generated paths. Accordingly, a novel indoor navigation network and its automatic generation algorithm are proposed in this paper according to the "short cut" behavioral characteristics formed by human beings for a long time and the security need of collision avoidance. The navigation network divides the indoor passable space into ordinary rooms and corridors. The network in one ordinary room is mapped as straight lines connecting the room node and the door nodes, and the corridor space with complex shape is subdivided into narrow corridor spaces and open corridor spaces according to spatial scale and convexity. The central axis of each narrow corridor space is taken as its corresponding route, and a complete graph is formed by connecting all door nodes and hatchway nodes in each open corridor space. Finally, door nodes are connected to the corridor route to form a complete indoor navigation network. The experimental results show that the proposed network model and its generating algorithm can reasonably partition the complex passable space according to indoor space scale and generate the navigation network structure consistent with spatial characteristics, which makes the shape of planned shortest paths more in line with human being's walking characteristics.
