This paper addresses the use of a data analysis tool, known as robust principal component analysis (RPCA), in the context of change detection (CD) in ultrawideband (UWB) very high-frequency (VHF) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The method considers image pairs of the same scene acquired at different time instants. The CD method aims to maximize the probability of detection (PD) and minimize the false alarm rate (FAR). Such aim fits into a multiobjective optimization problem, since maximizing the probability of detection generally implies an increase in the number of false alarms. In that sense, varying the RPCA regularization parameter leads to PD variation with respect to FAR, which is known as receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. To evaluate the proposed method, the CARABAS-II data set was considered. The experimental results show that RPCA via principal component pursuit (PCP) can provide a good trade-off between PD and FAR. A comparison between the results obtained with the proposed method and a classical CD algorithm based on the likelihood ratio test provides the pros and cons of the proposed method.

Temporal analysis of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) time series is a basic and significant issue in the remote sensing field. Change detection as well as other interpretation tasks of SAR images always involves non-linear/non-convex problems. Complex (non-linear) change criteria or models have thus been proposed for SAR images, instead of direct difference (e.g., change vector analysis) with/without linear transform (e.g., Principal Component Analysis, Slow Feature Analysis) used in optical image change detection. In this paper, inspired by the powerful deep learning techniques, we present a deep autoencoder (AE) based non-linear subspace representation for unsupervised change detection with multi-temporal SAR images. The proposed architecture is built upon an autoencoder-like (AE-like) network, which non-linearly maps the input SAR data into a latent space. Unlike normal AE networks, a self-expressive layer performing like principal component analysis (PCA) is added between the encoder and the decoder, which further transforms the mapped SAR data to mutually orthogonal subspaces. To make the proposed architecture more efficient at change detection tasks, the parameters are trained to minimize the representation difference of unchanged pixels in the deep subspace. Thus, the proposed architecture is namely the Differentially Deep Subspace Representation (DDSR) network for multi-temporal SAR images change detection. Experimental results on real datasets validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed architecture.

Recently, it was demonstrated that low-frequency wavelength-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images could be considered to follow an additive mixing model due to their backscatter characteristics. This simplification allows for the use of source separation methods, such as robust principal component analysis (RPCA) via principal component pursuit (PCP), for detecting changes in those images. In this manuscript, a change detection method for wavelength-resolution SAR images based on image stack through RPCA is proposed. The method aims to explore both the temporal and flight heading diversity of a set of wavelength-resolution multitemporal SAR images in order to detect concealed targets in forestry areas. A heuristic based on three rules for better exploring the RPCA results is introduced, and a new configurable parameter for false alarm reduction based on the analysis of image windows is proposed. The method is evaluated using real data obtained from measurements of the ultrawideband (UWB) very high-frequency (VHF) SAR system CARABAS-II. Experiments for stacks of four and seven reference images are conducted, and the use of reference images acquired with different flight headings is explored. The results indicate that a gain in performance can be achieved by using large image stacks containing, at least, one image of each possible flight heading of the data set, which can result in a probability of detection (PD) above 99% for a false alarm rate (FAR) as low as one false alarm per three square kilometers. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that high PD and low FAR can be achieved, also considering images from similar flight headings as reference images.

Abstract. The chances of acquiring three-dimensional (3D) point clouds have recently increased with the emergence of laser scanners. Hence, 3D monitoring of various objects through the accumulation of “time-series 3D point clouds,” which are point clouds of the same place at different times, is possible. Change detection is a task that is indispensable in 3D monitoring. One of the most common change detection method of 3D point clouds is simple subtraction between two data. However, this method is vulnerable to various errors. Therefore, change detection methods that are robust to errors are required. In this study, we developed robust principal component analysis, which has become popular in the background modelling of video images, to robustly recognize changes in time-series 3D point clouds. We first applied the proposed method to time-series depth images and confirmed its accuracy. We then applied the method to the digital elevation models of Mt. Unzen, which were acquired between 2003 and 2016, to recognize yearly elevation changes. The results show that the proposed method robustly recognizes elevation changes with a properly set parameter.

Consumption Structure

China’s energy consumption issues are closely associated with global climate issues, and the scale of energy consumption, peak energy consumption, and consumption investment are all the focus of national attention. In order to forecast the amount of energy consumption of China accurately, this article selected GDP, population, industrial structure and energy consumption structure, energy intensity, total imports and exports, fixed asset investment, energy efficiency, urbanization, the level of consumption, and fixed investment in the energy industry as a preliminary set of factors; Secondly, we corrected the traditional principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm from the perspective of eliminating “bad points” and then judged a “bad spot” sample based on signal reconstruction ideas. Based on the above content, we put forward a robust principal component analysis (RPCA) algorithm and chose the first five principal components as main factors affecting energy consumption, including: GDP, population, industrial structure and energy consumption structure, urbanization; Then, we applied the Tabu search (TS) algorithm to the least square to support vector machine (LSSVM) optimized by the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to forecast China’s energy consumption. We collected data from 1996 to 2010 as a training set and from 2010 to 2016 as the test set. For easy comparison, the sample data was input into the LSSVM algorithm and the PSO-LSSVM algorithm at the same time. We used statistical indicators including goodness of fit determination coefficient (R2), the root means square error (RMSE), and the mean radial error (MRE) to compare the training results of the three forecasting models, which demonstrated that the proposed TS-PSO-LSSVM forecasting model had higher prediction accuracy, generalization ability, and higher training speed. Finally, the TS-PSO-LSSVM forecasting model was applied to forecast the energy consumption of China from 2017 to 2030. According to predictions, we found that China shows a gradual increase in energy consumption trends from 2017 to 2030 and will breakthrough 6000 million tons in 2030. However, the growth rate is gradually tightening and China’s energy consumption economy will transfer to a state of diminishing returns around 2026, which guides China to put more emphasis on the field of energy investment.
