Map of built-up expansion ("nedbygging") over Norway 2017-2022 version 2

<p>Version 2 of the dataset https://zenodo.org/records/10566644</p> <p>Changes from first version include:</p> <ul> <li>added crowdsourced verification labels to the dataset gathered from the interactive app (link below) explained here: https://www.nina.no/Om-NINA/Aktuelt/Nyheter/article/kartlegg-nedbygging-av-natur-selv</li> <li>added the year of change crowdsourced labels</li> <li>added the type of built-up expansion as labelled by the NRK team</li> </ul> <p>Data can be viewed interactively here: <a href="https://nina.earthengine.app/view/nedbygging">https://nina.earthengine.app/view/nedbygging</a></p> <h4>(see Norwegian description below)</h4> <h2>&nbsp;1. Dataset Information</h2> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Title: Map of built-up expansion over Norway 2017-2022</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Author(s): Zander Venter (NINA), Mads Nyborg St&oslash;stad (NRK), Ruben Solvang (NRK), Anne Linn Kumano-Ensby (NRK), Su Thet Mon (NRK)</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Contact Information: zander.venter@nina.no</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Date of Data Generation: 06.01.2024</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Version: 1</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Description: This is the dataset used in the <a href="https://www.nrk.no/dokumentar/xl/nrk-avslorer_-44.000-inngrep-i-norsk-natur-pa-fem-ar-1.16573560">NRK article</a> published on 06.01.2024. The data contains polygons outlining potential &ldquo;nedbygging&rdquo; (hereafter translated to &ldquo;built-up expansion&rdquo; in English) events between 2017 and 2022 over Norway. The built-up expansion polygons were identified using a combination of Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, a fully convolutional neural network (a type of AI model) from Google called <a href="https://dynamicworld.app/">Dynamic World</a> and NINA&rsquo;s time series analysis thereof. The method to create the map will be published by NINA at a later date. The original map was created by NINA, but NRK performed some post-processing which included joining some polygons which were part of the same built-up expansion event (e.g. a long road). It is important to note that the map is a result of AI and has errors in it. Therefore, users are encouraged to read the sections on data quality and usage information below. &nbsp;Users can refer to <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212041624000056">Venter et al. (2024)</a>&nbsp;for details on the scientific best practice which the NRK journalists followed to ensure that their reported area estimates in the article were not biased. In summary, the map is wrong 18% of the time. Users should expect to find that on average 1 in 5 square meter is incorrectly identified as built-up expansion. There are also many instances of built-up expansion which will be missed in the map such as forestry road development, building of small cabins etc.&nbsp;</p> <h2>&nbsp;2. File Details</h2> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Format: Shapefile (.shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj)</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Size: 13.27 MB</p> <h2>&nbsp;3. Geospatial Information</h2> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Coordinate System: EPSG:32632, UTM zone 32N</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Spatial Resolution: 10m</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Geographical Coverage: Norway mainland (excludes Svalbard)</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Temporal Coverage: 2017 to 2022</p> <h2>&nbsp;4. Data Content</h2> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Attributes Included:</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - *id*: unique identity number for each polygon</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - *unders&oslash;kt*: whether the polygon has been investigated manually using visual interpretation of orthophotos. &ldquo;ja&rdquo; = &ldquo;yes&rdquo; and &ldquo;nei&rdquo; = &ldquo;no&rdquo;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - *<span><span>unders&oslash;kt_source*: whether the data was collected by the NRK team or the crowdsourcing effort</span></span></p> <p><span><span>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - *</span></span><span><span>kategori_1*: the type of built-up expansion labelled by the NRK team - see Google Translate for translations</span></span></p> <p><span><span>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - *year*: the year in which the built-up expansion occurred as defined by the crowdsourcing volunteers</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - *ai_feil*: whether the AI model method correctly (&ldquo;riktig&rdquo;) or incorrectly (&ldquo;feil&rdquo;) identified natural habitat conversion to built-up surface. Values where *unders&oslash;kt* == &ldquo;nei&rdquo; are labelled as &ldquo;ikke_verifisert&rdquo;&nbsp;</p> <h2>&nbsp;5. Data Quality</h2> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Accuracy: As described above, the false positive rate of the map was 18% based on 500 locations used for map validation and accuracy assessment. We did not quantify a false negative rate and balanced accuracy estimates because this would have required a denser sample for manual verification. Therefore, it is likely that there are many instances of built-up expansion that our map does not capture. After the formal accuracy assessment using the 500 stratified random points, NRK verified additional polygons (total of 3875) in the dataset during their investigative journalism workflow. Although these were not collected in a systematic manner, then can still be useful for some downstream tasks such as exploring what causes the AI model to misidentify built-up expansion.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Validation Methods: A design-based approach was used to quantify map accuracy and estimate uncertainty around the resulting area estimate reported in the NRK article. The details of this method are reported in <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212041624000056">Venter et al. (2024)</a>. This approach quantifies the error in the AI-derived map, and corrects for this using a stratified area estimator. Therefore, the total built-up expansion of 208 km&lt;2&gt; reported in the NRK article has been bias-corrected. We also quantified 95% confidence intervals around this are estimate of 9.8 km&lt;2&gt;. It is important to note that the validation approach was conducted on individual Sentinel-2 pixels of 10x10m and not at the polygon level. Therefore, we did not quantify the error in the precision of the polygon shape in terms of capturing the full extent of a given built-up expansion event.</p> <h2>&nbsp;6. Usage Information</h2> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Use Limitations: Considering the map error described above, users should proceed with caution when analysing the map to derive area statistics or overlays with other maps. As described in <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212041624000056">Venter et al. (2024)</a>, simply adding the areas of the polygons (or &ldquo;pixel counting&rdquo; with maps formatted as images) without accounting for the error in the map will lead to incorrect area statistics. We recommend that users validate the map for their municipality or study area before proceeding with analysis. It is likely that the margin of error is highly variable between municipalities. For example, although we have not quantified it, we noticed many AI mistakes in mountainous regions due to snow and ice interference and therefore high-altitude municipalities might have more errors than low-altitude ones.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h1>&nbsp;Norwegian description:&nbsp;</h1> <h2>&nbsp;1.

Dataene inneholder polygoner som skisserer potensiell nedbygging mellom 2017 og 2022 over Norge. Nedbyggingsomr&aring;dene ble identifisert ved hjelp av en kombinasjon av Sentinel-2 satellittbilder, et fullstendig konvolusjonelt nevralt nettverk (en type KI-modell) fra Google kalt <a href="https://dynamicworld.app/">Dynamic World</a> og NINAs tidsserie-analyse av dette. Metoden for &aring; lage kartet vil bli publisert av NINA p&aring; et senere tidspunkt. Det originale kartet ble laget av NINA, men NRK utf&oslash;rte en del etterbehandling som inkluderte sammenf&oslash;yning av noen polygoner som var en del av den samme oppbygde utvidelseshendelsen (f.eks. en lang vei). Det er viktig &aring; merke seg at kartet er produsert ved hjelp av kunstig intelligens og inneholder feil. Derfor oppfordres brukere til &aring; lese avsnittene om datakvalitet og bruksinformasjon nedenfor.

Datakvalitet</h2> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - N&oslash;yaktighet: Som beskrevet ovenfor var andelen falske positive punkter i kartet 18 % basert p&aring; 500 steder (pr&oslash;veflater) brukt for kartvalidering og n&oslash;yaktighetsvurdering. Vi kvantifiserte ikke andelen falske negative punkter og balanserte n&oslash;yaktighetsestimater, fordi dette ville ha krevd en tettere stikkpr&oslash;vedensitet for manuell verifisering. Derfor er det sannsynlig at det er mange tilfeller av nedbygging som kartet v&aring;rt ikke fanger opp. Etter den formelle n&oslash;yaktighetsvurderingen ved bruk av 500 stratifiserte tilfeldige pr&oslash;veflater, verifiserte NRK ytterligere polygoner (totalt 3875) i datasettet i l&oslash;pet av deres journalistiske unders&oslash;kelser. Selv om disse ikke ble samlet inn p&aring; en systematisk m&aring;te, kan de fortsatt v&aelig;re nyttige for noen oppf&oslash;lgingsanalyser som &aring; utforske hva som f&aring;r AI-modellen til &aring; feilidentifisere nedbygging.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - Valideringsmetoder: En designbasert tiln&aelig;rming (&laquo;design-based area estimation&raquo; p&aring; engelsk) ble brukt for &aring; kvantifisere kartn&oslash;yaktighet og estimere usikkerhet rundt det resulterende arealestimatet rapportert i NRK-artikkelen. Detaljene ved denne metoden er forklart i <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212041624000056">Venter et al. (2024)</a>. Denne tiln&aelig;rmingen kvantifiserer feilen i det KI-avledede kartet, og korrigerer for dette ved &aring; bruke en stratifisert arealestimator. Derfor er den totale bebygde utvidelsen p&aring; 208 km&lt;2&gt; som er rapportert i NRK-artikkelen, skjevhetskorrigert. Vi kvantifiserte ogs&aring; 95 % konfidensintervaller rundt dette er estimat p&aring; 9,8 km&lt;2&gt;. Det er viktig &aring; merke seg at valideringstiln&aelig;rmingen ble utf&oslash;rt p&aring; individuelle Sentinel-2 piksler p&aring; 10x10m og ikke p&aring; polygonniv&aring;.

Bruksinformasjon</h2> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - Bruksbegrensninger: Med tanke p&aring; kartfeilen beskrevet ovenfor, b&oslash;r brukere fortsette med forsiktighet n&aring;r de analyserer kartet for &aring; beregne omr&aring;destatistikk eller overlegg med andre kart. Som beskrevet i <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212041624000056">Venter et al. (2024)</a>, ved &aring; legge til omr&aring;dene til polygonene (eller &laquo;pikseltelling&raquo; med kart formatert som bilder) uten &aring; ta hensyn for feilen i kartet vil f&oslash;re til feil arealstatistikk. Vi anbefaler at brukere validerer kartet for sin kommune eller studieomr&aring;de f&oslash;r de g&aring;r videre med analyse. Det er sannsynlig at feilmarginen varierer mye mellom kommuner. For eksempel, selv om vi ikke har kvantifisert det, la vi merke til mange AI-feil i fjellomr&aring;der p&aring; grunn av sn&oslash;- og is, og derfor kan kommune med mye fjell ha flere feil enn de langs kysten (for eksempel).</p>

AgsSAT Multiannual (2017-2021) Sentinel-2 Built-Up Indices Composites

<p>AgsSAT Multiannual (2017-2021) Sentinel-2 Built-Up Indices Composites</p> <p>The 2,815 images available for the state of Aguascalientes, Mexico for the years 2017 to 2021 were processed using the Open Data Cube (ODC) platform [Lewis et al. (2017), Gavin et al. (2018), <a href="https://www.opendatacube.org/">https://www.opendatacube.org/</a>]. These images correspond to multiple coverages of the region of interest. The images were then used to generate cloud-free annual composites by applying geometric median (geomedian) algorithm, as defined in [Roberts et al. (2017)]. &nbsp;</p> <p>Geomedian algorithm produces a pixel-level summary for every pixel, in this case this means that each summary corresponds to a 10m x 10m region in the territory and its observations throughout a calendar year.&nbsp;</p> <p>All these summary pixels form a 12-band (coastal aerosol, blue, green, red, vegetation red edge 5, vegetation red edge 6, vegetation red edge 7, near-infrared, narrow nir, water vapor, swir1 and swir2) composite of the state of Aguascalientes. &nbsp;</p> <p>Another product called GeoMad was generated, which calculates the robust dispersion statistic called MAD, as defined in [Roberts, D., Dunn, B., &amp; Mueller, N. (2018)]. In the resulting image composite, each of the three-pixel bands represents the variation over three distances: Spectral Distance (smad), Euclidean Distance (emad) and the Bray-Curtis Distance (bcmad). &nbsp;</p> <p>More bands were generated to represent different environmental conditions during the study years (2017-2021), these conditions can be captured by analyzing various combinations of bands, these combinations are also called spectral indices, which allow detecting vegetation, presence of water, urbanization, etc., Finally, 28 indices divided into 4 categories were calculated:&nbsp;</p> <p>Vegetation Indices&nbsp;</p> <p>(Atmospherically Resistant Vegetation Index, Kaufman 1972)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Enhanced Vegetation Index, Huete 2002):&nbsp;</p> <p>(Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index, Qi Et Al. 1994)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Normalized Difference Chlorophyll Index, Mishra &amp; Mishra, 2012)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Normalised Difference Moisture Index, Gao 1996)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Rouse 1973)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Optimized Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index, Rondeaux. 1996)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Simple Ratio Vegetation Index Jordan, C.F.1 969)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index, Huete 1988)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Visible Atmospherically Resistant Index, Gittleson 2002)&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Built-up Indexes&nbsp;</p> <p>(Band Ration For Built-up Area, Waqar 2012)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Built-up Area Extraction Index, Bouzekri 2015)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Built-up Index, He Et Al. 2010)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Index-based Built-up Index, Xu 2008)&nbsp;</p> <p>(New Built-up Index, Jieli Et Al. 2010)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Normalized Difference Built-up Index, Zha 2003)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Normalized Built-up Area Index, Waqar 2012)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Urban Index, Kawamura 1996)&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Water Indices&nbsp;</p> <p>(Modified Normalized Difference Water Index, Xu 1996)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Normalized Difference Water Index, Mcfeeters 1996)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Water Index, Fisher 2016)&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Other Indices&nbsp;</p> <p>(Bare Soil Index, Rikimaru Et Al. 2002)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Bare Soil Index, Wanhui 2004)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Burn Area Index, Martin 1998)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Clay Minerals Ratio, Drury 1987)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Ferrous Minerals Ratio, Segal 1982)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Iron Oxide Ratio, Segal 1982)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Normalized Burn Ratio, Lopez Garcia 1991)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Normalised Difference Snow Index, Hall 1995).&nbsp;</p>

A STP-HSI index method for urban built-up area extraction based on multi-source remote sensing data

<p>The changes of urban built-up areas can reflect the process of urbanization, and it can reflect the population, economy, and cultural development of the city. Therefore, accurate and timely extraction of urban built-up areas plays an important role in the dynamic management of the city. In the existing research, single-source remote sensing data is used to extract urban built-up areas, and there is a problem that the spectrum of urban areas and non-urban areas is easily confused. Multi-source remote sensing data, including luojia-1 remote sensing data, Landsat 8 OLI remote sensing data, etc., can make up for the spectrum confusing issues.</p> <p>We fuse the time series information of night light remote sensing data, neighborhood information and point of interest (POI) data in spatial dimension, and propose a built-up area extraction method that integrates night light time and space information and POI information.</p>
