Résumé :
Cette thèse aborde le problème de l'extraction d'arbres à partir d'images aériennes InfraRouge Couleur (IRC) de forêts. Nos modèles reposent sur l'utilisation de processus objets ou processus ponctuels marqués. Il s'agit de variables aléatoires dont les réalisations sont des configurations d'objets géométriques. Une fois l'objet géométrique de référence choisi, nous définissons l'énergie du processus par le biais d'un terme a priori, modélisant les contraintes sur les objets et leurs interactions, ainsi qu'un terme image. Nous échantillonnons le processus objet grâce à un algorithme de type Monte Carlo par Chaînes de Markov à sauts réversibles (RJMCMC), optimisé par un recuit simulé afin d'extraire la meilleure configuration d'objets, qui nous donne l'extraction recherchée.
Dans ce manuscrit, nous proposons différents modèles d'extraction de houppiers, qui extraient des informations à l'échelle de l'arbre selon la densité du peuplement. Dans les peuplements denses, nous présentons un processus d'ellipses, et dans les zones de plus faible densité, un processus d'ellipsoïdes. Nous obtenons ainsi le nombre d'arbres, leur localisation, le diamètre de la couronne et leur hauteur pour les zones non denses. Les algorithmes automatiques résultant de cette modélisation sont testés sur des images IRC très haute résolution fournies par l'Inventaire Forestier National (IFN). |
Abstract :
This thesis addresses the problem of tree crown extraction from Colour InfraRed (CIR) aerial images of forests. Our models are based on object processes, otherwise known as marked point processes. These mathematical objects are random variables whose realizations are configurations of geometrical shapes. This approach yields an energy minimization problem, where the energy is composed of a regularization term (prior density), which introduces some constraints on the objects and their interactions, and a data term, which links the objects to the features to be extracted. Once the reference object has been chosen, we sample the process and extract the best configuration of objects with respect to the energy, using a Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) algorithm embedded in a Simulated Annealing scheme.
We propose different models for tree crown extraction depending on the density of the stand. In dense areas, we use an ellipse process, while in sparse vegetation an ellipsoïd process is used. As a result we obtain the number of stems, their position, the diameters of the crowns and the heights of the trees for sparse areas. The resulting algorithms are tested on high resolution CIR aerial images provided by the French National Forest Inventory (IFN). |

Abstract :
High resolution aerial and satellite images of forests have a key role to play in natural resource management. As they enable to study forests at the scale of trees, it is now possible to get a more accurate evaluation of the forest resources, from which can be deduced information of biodiversity and ecological sustainability. In that prospect, automatic algorithms are needed to give a further exploitation of the data and to assist human operators. In this paper, we present a stochastic geometry approach to extract 2D and 3D parameters of the trees, by modelling the stands as some realizations of a marked point process of ellipses or ellipsoids, whose points are the positions of the trees and marks their geometric features. This approach gives also the number of stems, their position, and their size. It is an energy minimization problem, where the energy embeds a regularization term (prior density), which introduces some interactions between the objects, and a data term, which links the objects to the features to be extracted. Results are shown on aerial images provided by the French National Forest Inventory (IFN). |

Abstract :
Most of today's silviculture methods has the goal to optimise the outcome of the forest in stem volume when it is cut. It might also be relevant to save parts of the forest, for instance, to protect a habitat. In order to get a good survey of the forest, remote sensed images are often used. These images are most often manually interpreted in combination with field measurements in order to estimate the forest parameters that are of importance in the decision how to optimally maintain the forest. Among these parameters the most common are stem number, stem volume, and tree species. Interpretation of images are often labour and time consuming. Thus, automatically developed methods for interpretation can lower the work load and speed up the interpretation time.
The interpretation is often done using images captured from a far distance from the ground in order to capture as large area as possible. However, this lower the accuracy of the estimates since it must be done stand wise. Knowledge of where each individual trees in the forest is located together with its size will increase accuracy. It makes it also possible to plan the cutting in detail. With this knowledge in mind, research about finding automatically methods for finding individual tree crowns in aerial images has been a subject for researchers the last decades.
Today's methods are not capable to alone handle all kind of forests. Therefore, comparative studies of different segmentation methods with different types of forests are of importance in order to clarify how much a method is reliable at a certain type of forest. This knowledge can, for instance, be used to build up an expert system which are supposed to be able to find individual tree crowns in any kind of forests. The comparison is done using images covering different types of forests. The types of forests that are included in the study ranges from isolated tree crown where the ground is clearly visible between the crowns to dense forest which is naturally regenerated via planted forest.
In this study we compare three existing segmentation methods for extracting individual tree crowns from aerial images. The first two methods are probabilistic methods which minimises some energy function while the third is a region growing algorithm. The first probabilistic method is based on a Markov Random Field modelling. We define a prior Markov model to segment the image into three classes (background, vegetation and tree centres). The prior model embed a circular shape model of the tree crown with a random radius. The data term allows to well position the tree centres onto the image and to describe the tree shape as fluctuations around the circular template. Besides, some long range interactions models the relations between the trees locations, such as some periodicity in case of plantations.
The second probabilistic method consists in modeling the trees in the forestry images as random configurations of ellipses or ellipsoids, whose points are the positions of the stems and marks their geometric features. The density of this process embeds a regularization term (prior density), which introduces some interactions between the objects, and a data term, which links the objects to the features to be extracted. We estimate the best configuration of an unknown number of objects, from which 2D and 3D vegetation resource parameters can be extracted. To sample this marked point process, we use Monte Carlo dynamics, while the optimization is performed via a Simulated Annealing algorithm, which results in a fully automatic approach. This approach works well on plantations, where there are high spatial relations between the trees, and on isolated trees where 3D parameters can be extracted, but some difficulties remain in dense areas.
The third method, the region growing algorithm, relies as all region growing methods on good seed points, i.e. in this case approximate locations of the tree crowns. From the seed points the segments are grown according to a grey level value of the neighbouring pixels. The larger the value is the sooner it is connected to the neighbouring segment. The segments stops to grow when all pixels belongs to a segment. This method, contrary the others, will have as a result, segments that have captured the actual shape of the tree crown if the forest is not too sparse. If the forest is too sparse such that the ground is visible, there are problems of finding the seed points. In the cases when the forest is sparse, there are difficulties to separate the tree crowns from the ground. Even if the seed points would be located only at the tree crowns the result will contain a lot of errors since all pixels most belong to a segment, i.e. even the ground pixels must be connected to a segment in this case. |

Abstract :
Aerial and satellite imagery has a key role to play in natural resource management, especially in forestry application. The submetric resolution of the data enables to study forests at the scale of trees, and to get a more accurate assessment of the resources such as the number of stems or the forest cover. To develop automatic tools in order to help the inventories in their work and to bring more knowledge about the stands is also nowadays of important economical and environmental concerns.
In this paper, we aim at extracting tree crowns from high resolution aerial Color Infrared images (CIR) of forests using marked point processes. Our approach consists in modelling the trees in the forestry images as random configurations of ellipses, whose points are the positions of the stems and marks their geometric features. The density of this process embeds a regularization term (prior density), which introduces some interactions between the objects, and a data term, which links the objects to the features to be extracted. Our goal is to find the best configuration of an unknown number of objects, i.e. the configuration that maximizes this density. To sample this marked point process, we use Monte Carlo dynamics while the optimization is performed via a Simulated Annealing algorithm, which results in a fully automatic approach.
We present different models for the data term in order to cope with different kinds of stands : plantations, isolated trees and mixed stands. Results are shown on aerial CIR images provided by the French Forest Inventory (IFN) |

Résumé :
Les images aériennes et satellitaires jouent un role de plus en plus important dans le domaine de la gestion des ressources naturelles, et en particulier des forêts. Les organismes chargés d'en faire l'inventaire, comme l'Inventaire Forestier National (IFN) en France, s'appuient en effet sur ces images pour observer les différentes espèces d'arbres d'une zone boisée, avant de se rendre sur le terrain pour une étude plus poussée. La résolution submétrique des données permet, en outre, d'entrevoir une étude plus fine, à savoir un comptage à l'arbre près et une classification automatique des houppiers (ensemble des branches et du feuillage d'un arbre). Cette évaluation précise des ressources forestières n'est actuellement pas disponible. Aussi, le développement d'outils automatiques, chargés d'aider les gestionnaires du paysage dans leur travail en leur apportant une connaissance des ressources à l'échelle de l'arbre, se révèle-t-il être d'un intérêt grandissant.L'objectif de notre travail est donc d'extraire des houppiers à partir d'images aériennes de forêts à très haute résolution. Notre approche consiste à modéliser les peuplements forestiers par un processus ponctuel marqué d'ellipses, dont les points représentent les positions des arbres et les marques leurs caractéristiques géométriques. La densité de ce processus comporte une composante de régularisation, dite a priori, qui introduit des interactions entre les objets du processus, ainsi qu'une composante d'attache aux données, afin que les objets du processus se positionnent sur les houppiers que l'on souhaite extraire. Il s'agit de trouver la configuration d'objets, en nombre inconnu a priori, qui maximise cette densité. La simulation de tels processus fait appel aux algorithmes de type Monte Carlo par Chaîne de Markov (MCMC) à sauts réversibles, l'optimisation étant réalisée à l'aide d'un recuit simulé.Nous présentons ici un nouveau modèle d'attache aux données. Contrairement à nos précédents modèles testés sur des plantations, ce modèle n'est plus bayésien puisque le terme d'attache aux données est désormais calculé au niveau des objets et non de l'image. Ceci nous permet de travailler sur des images plus générales, avec des densités d'arbres plus variables. Des résultats obtenus sur des images fournies par l'IFN valident ce modèle. |
Abstract :
Aerial and satellite imagery has a key role to play in natural resources management, especially in forestry application. Indeed, forest inventories, such as the French National Inventory (IFN), refer to these images to analyse the different tree species in a stand, before sending a team on the ground to obtain some more advanced knowledge. Moreover, the submetric resolution of the data enables to study forests at the scale of trees, and also to get a more accurate evaluation of the resources such as the number of stems. It would be also of important economical and environmental concerns to develop automatic tools to analyze and monitor forests.We aim at extracting tree crowns from high resolution aerial images of forests. Our approach consists in modelling the forestry images as realizations of a marked point process of ellipses, whose points are the positions of the trees and marks their geometric features. The density of this process embeds a regularization term (prior density), which introduces some interactions between the objects, and a data term, which links the objects to the features to be extracted. Our goal is to find the best configuration of an unknown number of objects, i.e. the configuration that maximizes this density. To sample the marked point process, we use Monte Carlo dynamics (Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo), while the optimization is performed via a simulated annealing algorithm.We present here a new model for the data term. Contrary to our previous models tested on plantations images, this model is not Bayesian anymore : the data term is calculated for each object and not for the whole image. This enables us to work on more general images, with variable tree crown densities. Example results are shown on aerial images provided by the French Forest Inventory (IFN). |

Abstract :
We use marked point processes to detect an unknown number of trees from high resolution aerial images. This is in fact an energy minimization problem, where the energy contains a prior term which takes into account the geometrical properties of the objects, and a data term to match these objects to the image. This stochastic process is simulated via a Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo procedure, which embeds a Simulated Annealing scheme to extract the best configuration of objects.
We compare here different cooling schedules of the Simulated Annealing algorithm which could provide some good minimization in a short time. We also study some adaptive proposition kernels. |

Abstract :
This work presents a framework to extract tree crowns from remotely sensed data, especially in plantation images, using stochastic geometry. We aim at finding the tree top positions, and the tree crown diameter distribution. Our approach consists in considering that these images are some realizations of a marked point process. First we model the tree plantation as a configuration of an unknown number of ellipses. Then, a Bayesian energy is defined, containing both a prior energy which incorporates the prior knowledge of the plantation geometric properties, and a likelihood which fits the objects to the data. Eventually, we estimate the global minimum of this energy using Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo dynamics and a simulated annealing scheme. We present results on optical aerial images of poplars provided by IFN. |

Abstract :
In this paper we aim at extracting tree crowns from remotely sensed images. Our approach is to consider that these images are some realizations of a marked point process. The first step is to define the geometrical objects that design the trees, and the density of the process.
Then, we use a Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo dynamics and a simulated annealing to get the maximum a posteriori estimator of the tree crown distribution on the image. Transitions of the Markov chain are managed by some specific proposition kernels.
Results are shown on aerial images of poplars provided by IFN. |

Abstract :
We consider the marked point process framework as a natural extension of the Markov random field approach in image analysis. We consider a general model defined by its density allowing us to consider some geometrical constraints on objects and between objects in feature extraction problems. Some examples are derived for small brain lesions detection from MR Images, road network, tree crown and building extraction from remotely sensed images. The results obtained on real data show the relevance of the proposal approach. |

Nous obtenons ainsi le nombre des arbres, leur localisation et leur taille. Nous présentons, dans ce rapport, un modèle 2D et un modèle 3D pour extraire des statistiques forestières. Ceux-ci sont testés sur des images aériennes infrarouge couleur très haute résolution fournies par l'Inventaire Forestier National (IFN). |
