Mapping urban change in the UK using satellite radar interferometry

A multitemporal sequence of ERS interferometric coherence data acquired between 1993 and 1999 are utilised for automatically mapping urban change within South Wales, UK. Validation of the change map derived from the coherence data is performed using independent, multidate, digital survey data of the city of Cardiff, UK. All major building developments that have occurred within the study area are located. There is evidence to suggest that this approach is generalisable for a wide range of coherence data and to other regions with similar landscapes.

Key technology of D-InSAR at X-band for monitoring land subsidence in mining area and its application

In theory, land subsidence measurement results with high accuracy can be obtained by using the Differential Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar （D-InSAR） at X-band. In practice, however, the measuring accuracy of D-InSAR at X-band has been seriously affected by some factors, e.g., decorrelation and high deformation gradient. In this work, the monitoring capability of D-InSAR for coal-mining subsidence is evaluated by using SAR data acquired by TerrraSAR-X system. The SAR image registration method for low coherence image pairs, the denoising phase filter for high noise level interferogram and atmospheric effects mitigation method are the key technical aspects which directly influence the measurement results of D-InSAR at X-band. Thus, a robust image registration method, an improved phase filter method and an atmospheric effects mitigation method are proposed in this paper. The proposed image registration method successfully achieves InSAR coregistration, while the amplitude cross-correlation cannot properly coregister low coherence SAR image pairs. Moreover, the time complexity of the proposed image registration method is obviously slighter than that of the Singular Value Decomposition （SVD） method. The comparing experiment results and the unwrapping phase results show that the improved Goldstein filter is more effective than the original Goldstein filter in noise elimination. The atmospheric influence correction experiment results show that the land subsidence areas with atmospheric influence correction are more clarified than that of without at- mospheric influence correction. In summary, the presented methods directly improved the measurement results of D-InSAR at X-band.

互耦效应下用单快拍数据实现相干信源完全解相干和解耦合

阵元间存在互耦时,会对阵列流型产生扰动,同时当空间来波存在相干信源时,协方差矩阵会产生秩亏,这两类问题都会使子空间类估计算法性能急剧下降甚至失效。针对互耦效应下的解相干问题,该文提出了一种仅利用阵列单快拍即可实现完全解相干和解互耦算法互耦效应下的修正单次快拍算法(MC-ENDTOP)。该方法将原单快拍算法应用背景推广至任意形式来波信号,利用一次快拍构造等效接收数据协方差矩阵,通过数据分解,将互耦系数从阵列流型矩阵中剥离,从而实现了完全解互耦,并将其归入分解后的等效信号协方差矩阵中,由于等效信号协方差矩阵为对角阵,且对角元素与信号相关性无关,因此进一步实现了完全解相干。仿真验证了该文算法能够抑制互耦影响,估计性能和无互耦时相当,且适用于实时性要求高的场合。     

Uncorrelated linear discriminant analysis based on weighted pairwise Fisher criterion

In this paper, we propose a novel uncorrelated, weighted linear discriminant analysis (UWLDA) method for feature extraction and recognition. The UWLDA first introduces a weighting function to restrain the dominant role of the classes with larger distance and then searches the optimal discriminant vectors under the conjugative orthogonal constrains in the null space of the within-class scatter matrix and its conjugative orthogonal complement space, respectively. As a result, the proposed technique not only derive the optimal and lossless discriminative information, but also guarantee that all extracted features are statistically uncorrelated. Experiments on FERET face database and AR face database are performed to test and evaluate the proposed algorithm. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of UWLDA.     

An improved fast blind deconvolution algorithm based on decorrelation and block matrix1

In order to alleviate the shortcomings of most blind deconvolution algorithms, this paper proposes an improved fast algorithm for blind deconvolution based on decorrelation technique and broadband block matrix. Althougth the original algorithm can overcome the shortcomings of current blind deconvolution algorithms, it has a constraint that the number of the source signals must be less than that of the channels. The improved algorithm deletes this constraint by using decorrelation technique. Besides, the improved algorithm raises the separation speed in terms of improving the computing methods of the output signal matrix. Simulation results demonstrate the validation and fast separation of the improved algorithm.
