Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are seeking submissions to a Special Issue on New Approaches and Applications of Remote Sensing Image Restoration.

Remote sensing images acquisition processes are generally influenced by various kinds of degradation, such as noise, geometric distortions, changes in illumination, blur (motion, atmospheric turbulence, out-of-focus), etc. Image restoration as an inverse imaging approach is becoming one of the central issues in the development of remote sensing, since it can estimate original images from the observed distorted ones. Remote sensing images restoration can be applied as a pre-processing technique to improve image quality, which supports further stages of data analysis, object detection and classification. Besides, image restoration can be used for remote sensing data at the post-processing stage, for reducing distortions caused by lossless coding of images (blocking and ringing artifacts).

In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in the field of remote sensing image restoration. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as well as comprehensive review and survey papers.

Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus), is a global destructive threat to forests and has led to serious economic losses all over the world. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a feasible and effective method to accurately monitor and estimate PWD infection. In this study, we used hyperspectral imagery (HI) collected by an unmanned airship with a hyperspectral imaging spectrometer to detect PWD in healthy, early, middle and serious infection stages. To avoid massive calculations on the full spectral dimensions of the HI, 16 spectral features were extracted from the HI, and a genetic algorithm (GA) was implemented to identify the optimal ones with the least fitness. Simultaneously, a support vector machine (SVM) classifier was established to predict the PWD infection stage for an individual pine tree. The following results were obtained: (1) the spectral characteristics for pine trees in different PWD infection stages were distinctive in the green region (510–580 nm), red edge (680–760 nm) and near-infrared (780–1000 nm) spectra; (2) the six optimal spectral features (Dgreen, SDgreen, Dred, DRE, DNIR, SDNIR) selected with the GA effectively distinguished the PWD infection stages of pine trees with a lower calculation cost; (3) compared with the traditional classifiers, such as k-nearest neighbor (KNN), random forest (RF) and single SVM, the proposed GA and SVM classifier achieved the highest overall accuracy (95.24%) and Kappa coefficient (0.9234). The approach could also be employed for monitoring and detecting other forest pests. Full article

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an important means of estimating significant wave height with obvious advantages of all-day, all-weather, high resolution and wide swath coverage. At present, the estimation methods of significant wave height are based on visible ocean waves in SAR images. However, due to the characteristic of long integration time for low-frequency SAR (such as P-band, L-band), the ocean waves are usually invisible in SAR images. In addition, in the case that there are multiple wave systems, significant wave height of only one wave system can be estimated for the reason that only a blurred wave system can be observed in SAR images. In order to solve the above two problems, a method of estimating significant wave height from SAR with long integration times is proposed in this paper. Firstly, each ocean wave system is refocused from single-look complex (SLC) data, respectively. Then, without any additional processing, the 180° ambiguity of wave propagation direction is removed based on the optimum focus setting. Finally, significant wave height is estimated in combination with azimuth cutoff, wavelength and propagation direction of ocean waves. This method is applied to two airborne SAR field data with long integration times. One case is that ocean waves are invisible in SAR images, the other is that there are two wave systems on the real ocean surface, but only one is visible in the SAR images. The results show that the proposed method can estimate significant wave height in the cases of invisible ocean waves and multiple ocean waves. The estimation results of significant wave height are compared with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) data, and the error is basically stable within 0.2 m, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.
