Processing of MODIS-Aqua data with Self-Organizing Maps NeuroVaria method for the southern canary upwelling system

<p>Abstract</p> <p>This ocean color dataset is derived from MODIS_Aqua sensor measurements covering the Southern Canary upwelling system. The raw L1A measurements were downloaded from NASA&#39;s Ocean Color web site and then processed using the Ocean Biology Processing Group&#39;s (OBPG) Multi-Sensor Level-1 to Level-2 (MSL12) code. The l2gen program, based on its standard process, generates Level-2 parameters consisting of the top of atmosphere radiance, the radiance of each ocean and atmosphere component, the measurement angles, Level-2 flags, ... The top of atmosphere radiance is pre-corrected to keep only a dependence on the diffuse transmittance, the aerosol contribution and the water leaving radiance.</p> <p><br> The pre-corrected product and measurement angles are assimilated using the Self-Organizing Map<br> NeuroVaria (SOM-NV) code (Diouf et al., 2013). SOM-NV is an algorithm based on two statistical models<br> that classify a dataset into a map, and then use the information from that map to deliver atmospheric and oceanic parameters from the satellite observation.</p> <p>The parameters of interest are the remote sensing reflectance spectra (Rrs(&lambda;)) and the aerosol optical thickness (AOT) at 869 nm (aot_869). The Rrs at blue (443 and 488 nm) and green (547 nm) are used to calculate chlorophyll-a concentration from the OBPG OCx algorithm (chl_ocx, O&#39;Reilly et al., 1998; Mobley et al., 2016).</p> <p>These geophysical parameters are projected onto a fixed grid at 1/96&deg; resolution and archived in a daily netcdf format files. Each file contains five visible reflectances Rrs(&lambda;) (with &lambda; = 412, 443, 488, 531, and 547 nm), chl_ocx, aot_869, and latitude and longitude coordinates. These parameters are described in the files, along with the global attributes.</p> <p><br> The netcdf files are formatted as follows: SOM-NV-Ayyyydddhhmmss.nc; where yyyy = year; ddd = Julian<br> day; hh = hour; mm = minute; ss = second. The extension &quot;Ayyyydddhhmmss.nc&quot;, corresponds to the name<br> of the MODIS_aqua file of the day. When two input files exist for the same day, within 5 minutes, the two<br> scans are concatenated and the orbit keeps the name of the second file.<br> All files are compressed internally to a size of 4, to facilitate transfers.</p> <p>%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%</p> <p>R&eacute;sum&eacute;</p> <p>Ce jeu de donn&eacute;es de couleur de l&rsquo;eau est issu des mesures du capteur MODIS_Aqua sur la partie sud du syst&egrave;me d&rsquo;upwelling des Canaries.

Proportions of Phytoplankton Functional Groups (PFT) retrieved using a Self-Organizing Map in the North Atlantic

<p>Concentrations of diagnostic pigments are retrieved from satellite data (Chl-a + Rrs at 4 wavelengths + SST) using a SOM trained on a global in-situ HPLC dataset (see El Hourany et al. 2019). Pigments are converted to PFTs using empirical coefficients. Three sets of coefficients are used and the results are averaged (see El Hourany et al. 2024). The PFT data is expressed as the proportion of each group in the total community abundance:<br><code>Proportion_i = (alpha_i * Pig_i) / sum_j(alpha_j * Pig_j)</code><br>There are seven PFT groups (diatoms, dinoflagellates, haptophytes, green algae, cryptophytes, pelagophytes, prokaryotes).</p> <p>The satellite input Chl-a data is included as well. It was retrieved from the Globcolour portal (<a href="https://hermes.acri.fr/">https://hermes.acri.fr/</a>) in 2022. The CHL-1 product for case 1 waters is used. It uses the AVW merging method: single-sensor level-2 Chl-a data is merged from multiple sensors (SeaWiFS, MERIS, MODIS-Aqua, VIIRS-NPP/JPSS1, OLCI-A/B).</p> <p>The data spans from 2002 to 2020, at a daily resolution. It is available on a regular latitude/longitude grid, at a resolution of 1/24&deg; (approximately 4 km) in a window of bounds 15&deg;N&minus;55&deg;N ; 82&deg;W&minus;40&deg;W.</p> <h2><strong>Storage</strong></h2> <p>All variables are stored in the same daily file: <code>PFT_SOM-DAP_GLOB_4km_daily/[year]/[month]/PFT_[year][month][day]_GLOB_4.nc</code>. The PFT proportions are stored as percentages (ranging between 0 and 100). Files are NetCDF4, and the metadata follow CF conventions.</p> <p>The PFT variables are stored using linear packing (see <a href="https://nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#Linear-Packing">https://nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#Linear-Packing</a>) as 16-bits unsigned integers (<code>NC_USHORT</code>), with a scale factor of 1.54e-3. This means values are discretized between 0 and ~100.92 (<code>=(2**16 - 2) * 1.54e-3</code>), with a discretization step of 1.54e-3.<br>As for the PFT variables, these values are in percent points.</p> <h2><strong>References</strong></h2> <ul> <li>El Hourany, R., Abboud-Abi Saab, M., Faour, G., Aumont, O., Cr&eacute;pon, M., Thiria, S.<br>&ldquo;Estimation of secondary phytoplankton pigments from satellite observations using Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs)&rdquo;,<br><em>J.

Robot Self-Assembly as Adaptive Growth Process: Collective Selection of Seed Position and Self-Organizing Tree-Structures

<p>Autonomous self-assembly allows to create structures and scaffolds on demand and automatically. The desired structure may be predetermined or alternatively it is the result of an artificial growth process that adapts to environmental features and to the intermediate structure itself. In a self-organizing and decentralized control approach the robots interact only locally and form the structure collectively. Designing a complete approach that allows the robot group to collectively decide on where to start the self-assembly, that adapts at runtime to environmental conditions, and that guarantees the structural stability is challenging and does not yet exist. We present an approach to self-assembly inspired by diffusion-limited aggregation that generates an adaptive structure reacting to environmental conditions in an artificial growth process. During a preparatory stage the robots collectively decide where to start the self-assembly also depending on environmental conditions. In the actual self-assembly stage, the robots create tree-like structures that grow towards light. We report the results of robot self-assembly experiments with 50 Kilobots. Our results demonstrate how an adaptive growth process can be implemented in robots. We explain how our approach will be extended to a 3-d growth process and how robot self-assembly as an open-ended adaptive growth process opens up a multiplicity of future opportunities.</p>

Actionable Information During a Disaster (Self-organize Relief Efforts via #PorteOuverte)

<p><strong>Abstract</strong> (our paper)</p> <p>Web-based social and communication technologies enable citizens to self-organize relief efforts in response to crises. This work focuses on a question fundamental to the concept of collective intelligence: how effective are such self-organized channels, ungoverned by any central authority, in conforming to their intended function? In this study we examine the hashtag #PorteOuverte ("#OpenDoor") introduced during the 2015 Paris terrorist attacks, as an "improvised logistical channel" (ILC) to help individuals to find a safe shelter near the attack sites. We analyze the dynamics and effectiveness of #PorteOuverte by comparing its proportion of relevant logistical messages -- individuals requesting or offering shelter -- to other messages such as those offering emotional consolation or commenting on the hashtag itself.  Our results reveal that the vast majority of messages are not relevant, however the crowd senses and spreads relevant messages more than others.  We further demonstrate that relevant messages can be automatically detected and thus algorithmic promotion may be possible.</p> <p><strong>Data</strong></p> <p>The #PorteOuverte hashtag ("opendoor" in English), created right after the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, was used by individuals to offer shelter to strangers stranded by the attacks and by individuals in need of shelter to request help and post their whereabouts. The file #PorteOuverte _tweet_ids.txt contains all the original tweet ids that used this hashtag.</p> <p>The first tweet was posted on Friday, 13 Nov 2015 21:34:06 GMT.</p> <p>Duration: 2015-11-13 to 2015-11-16 (retweets not included).</p> <p>Total number of tweets: 75547</p> <p><strong>Publication</strong></p> <p>This data set was created for our study.

<p>The multi-template modelling can be used to model cultural equipment<br> dynamics as described in figure 7. On this figure, we associate a queen to each<br> cultural center (cinema, theatre, ...). Each queen will emit many pheromon<br> templates, each template is associated to a specific criterium (according to age,<br> sex, ...). Initially, we put the material in the residential place. Each material<br> has some characteristics, corresponding to the people living in this residential<br> area.

Self-organized adaptive paths in multi-robot manufacturing: reconfigurable and pattern-independent fibre deployment — IROS 2019

<p>This video accompanies a conference paper prepared for IEEE IROS 2019.</p> <p>Using multi-robot systems for autonomous construction allows for parallelization and scalability. Swarm construction furthermore exploits robot interactions and collaboration, such that the robot swarm collectively constructs artifacts beyond what a single comparable robot could achieve. Here we present an alternative concept of swarm construction that is distinct because it uses continuous building material. Our approach is unique in its use of braiding techniques for construction. We deploy fibres that potentially allow for structures that are not possible with building blocks. To achieve maximal scalability we restrict ourselves to a decentralized approach. The main challenges are the local coordination of the robot teams, self-organized task allocation, and the dynamic reconfiguration of the braiding scheme at runtime. We successfully validate our approach in multi-robot experiments that show both braiding and branching of the braid. In addition, we show options for implementing an open system&mdash;that is robots can join and leave the braiding process on the fly.</p>

Cortical topographic motifs emerge in a self-organized map of object space

<p>The human ventral visual stream has a highly systematic organization of object information, but the causal pressures driving these topographic motifs are highly debated. Here, we use self-organizing principles to learn a topographic representation of the data manifold of a deep neural network representational space. We find that a smooth mapping of this representational space showed many brain-like motifs, with large-scale organization by animacy and real-world object size, supported by mid-level feature tuning, with naturally emerging face- and scene-selective regions. While some theories of the object-selective cortex posit that these differently tuned regions of the brain reflect a collection of distinctly specified functional modules, the present work provides computational support for an alternate hypothesis that the tuning and topography of the object-selective cortex reflects a smooth mapping of a unified representational space.</p>
