Relative Total Variation

The fusion of the hyperspectral image (HSI) and the light detecting and ranging (LiDAR) data has a wide range of applications. This paper proposes a novel feature fusion method for urban area classification, namely the relative total variation structure analysis (RTVSA), to combine various features derived from HSI and LiDAR data. In the feature extraction stage, a variety of high-performance methods including the extended multi-attribute profile, Gabor filter, and local binary pattern are used to extract the features of the input data. The relative total variation is then applied to remove useless texture information of the processed data. Finally, nonparametric weighted feature extraction is adopted to reduce the dimensions. Random forest and convolutional neural networks are utilized to evaluate the fusion images. Experiments conducted on two urban Houston University datasets (including Houston 2012 and the training portion of Houston 2017) demonstrate that the proposed method can extract the structural correlation from heterogeneous data, withstand a noise well, and improve the land cover classification accuracy.

Novel Method

Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) provides accurate height information for objects on the earth, which makes LiDAR become more and more popular in terrain and land surveying. In particular, LiDAR data offer vital and significant features for land-cover classification which is an important task in many application domains. Aerial photos with LiDAR data were processed with genetic algorithms not only for feature extraction but also for orthographical image. DSM provided by LiDAR reduced the amount of GCPs needed for the regular processing, thus the reason both efficiency and accuracy are highly improved. LiDAR is an acronym for Light Detection and Ranging, which is typically defined as an integration of three technologies into a single system, which is capable of acquiring a data to produce accurate Digital Elevation Models.

Research problem introduction. The main research goal of this paper is to provide the urban geosystem research concept with both the theoretical basics presentation of GIS involvement in urban studies, and with examples of its practical applications. An urbogeosystem (UGS) has been presented not as a simple aggregate of cities, but as the emergent entity that produced complicated interconnections and interdependencies among its constituents. By the urbogeosystem concept the authors attempt to introduce a reliable research approach that has been deliberately developed to identify the nature and spatial peculiarities of the urbanization process in a given area. The exigency of this concept elaboration is listed by the number of needs and illustrated with ordinary 2D digital city cadaster limitations. The methodological background has been proposed, and its derivative applied solutions meet the number of necessities for more efficient urban mapping, city understanding, and municipal mana-gement. The geoinformation concept of the urban geographic system research. External and internal urbogeosystems. The authors explain why an UGS can be formalized as three major components: an aggregate of point features, a set of lines, an aggregate of areal features. The external UGS represents a set of cities, the internal one – a set of delineated areas within one urban territory. Algorithmic sequence of the urbogeosystem study with a GIS. The authors introduce algorithmic sequence of research provision with GIS, in which the LiDAR data processing block has been examined in the details with the procedure of the automated feature extraction explanation. Relevant software user interface sample of the visualization of the urban modeled feature attributes is provided. A case study of the external urbogeosystem. The regional case study of the external urbogeosystem modeling is introduced with GIS MapInfo Professional. The authors present the spatial econometric analysis for commuting study directed to a regional workforce market. The results of the external UGS research mainly correspond to some published social economic regularities in the area, but nonetheless it also demonstrates significant deviations that may be explained by this system’s emergent properties. Case studies of the internal urbogeosystem of Kharkiv-City. Two case studies of the internal urbogeosystem of Kharkiv City have been demonstrated, too. In the first one, automated feature extraction provided by the authors’ original software from LiDAR data has been applied for modeling this UGS content throughout a densely built-up urban parcel. In another case the GIS-analysis of the urbogeosystem functional impact on the catering services spatial distribution has been provided with the ArcGIS software. Results and conclusion. Summarizing all primary and derivative data processed with this technique as well as generalizing key ideas discussed in the text, the authors underline this whole methodological approach as such that can be considered as a general outlining showing how to use geoinformation software for the analysis of urban areas. Concluding their research, the authors emphasize that the urbogeosystem concept may be quite useful for visualization and different analysis applied for urban areas, including city planning, facility and other municipal management methods. The short list of the obtained results has been provided at the end of the text.
