Les taches urbaines distribuées sont caractérisées par des formes très variées. Ces formes peuvent aller d’un aspect très compacte (proche d’un disque, forme de compacité maximale sur un plan) à celui de formes très digitées ou de filaments, s’approchant de lignes plus ou moins sinueuses. Le suivi de cette dimension de compacité morphologique permet d’estimer si l’artificialisation due aux taches urbaines suit des extensions homogènes ou des extensions hétérogènes. Cet indice est calculé à l'échelle des EPCI d'Occitanie et pour l'année 2019.

Les données de nodata par année (entre 2015 et 2019) correspondent aux zones de nuages et de leurs ombres portées sur les images satellites SPOT 6/7 utilisées pour la classification d'occupation du sol, donnée source pour les analyses géographiques qui ont suivi (extraction des espaces bâtis, des taches urbaines, indicateurs spatialisés)

Le coefficient de dispersion représente le rapport entre la surface des espaces artificialisés (taches urbaines) morcelés, définis ici pour une emprise inférieure à 3 hectares, et celle des espaces artificialisés denses supérieurs ou égales à 3 hectares.Cet indicateur a été calculé par canton et pour les années 2015 à 2019.

La densité de bâti est calculée par maille de 150 mètres de côté et sur la base d'une extraction du bâti à partir d'imagerie très haute résolution spatiale (1.5m) SPOT 6/7, pour les années 2015 à 2019.

This dataset provides georeferenced polygon vectors of individual tree canopy geometries for dryland areas in West African Sahara and Sahel that were derived using deep learning applied to 50 cm resolution satellite imagery. More than 1.8 billion non-forest trees (i.e., woody plants with a crown size over 3 m2) over about 1.3 million km2 were identified from panchromatic and pansharpened normalized difference vegetation index (NVDI) images at 0.5 m spatial resolution using an automatic tree detection framework based on supervised deep-learning techniques. Combined with existing and future fieldwork, these data lay the foundation for a comprehensive database that contains information on all individual trees outside of forests and could provide accurate estimates of woody carbon in arid and semi-arid areas throughout the Earth for the first time.

Hyperspectral data were obtained during an acquisition campaign led on Toulouse (France) urban area on July 2015 using Hyspex instrument which provides 408 spectral bands spread over 0.4 – 2.5 μ. Flight altitude lead to 2 m spatial resolution images. Supervised SVN classification results for 600 urban trees according to a 3 level nomenclature: leaf type (5 classes), family (12 and 19 classes) and species (14 and 27 classes). The number of classes differ for the two latter as they depend on the minimum number of individuals considered (4 and 10 individuals per class respectively). Trees positions have been acquired using differential GPS and are given with centimetric to decimetric precision. A randomly selected subset of these trees has been used to train machine SVM and Random Forest classification algorithms. Those algorithms were applied to hyperspectral images using a number of classes for family (12 and 19 classes) and species (14 and 27 classes) levels defined according to the minimum number of individuals considered during training/validation process (4 and 10 individuals per class, respectively). Global classification precision for several training subsets is given by Brabant et al, 2019 (https://www.mdpi.com/470202) in terms of averaged overall accuracy (AOA) and averaged kappa index of agreement (AKIA).

Full hyperspectral VNIR-SWIR ENVI standard image obtained from the coregistration of both VNIR and SWIR ones through a signal aggregation process that allowed to obtain a synthetic VNIR 1.6 m spatial resolution image, with pixels exactly corresponding to natif SWIR image ones. First, a spatially resampled 1.6 m VNIR image was built, where output pixel values were calculated as the average of the VNIR 0.8 m pixel values that spatially contribute to it. Then, ground control points (GCP) were selected over both images and SWIR one was tied to the VNIR 1.6 m image using a bilinear resampling method using ENVI tool. This lead to a 1.6 m spatial resolution full VNIR-SWIR image.

Cette donnée raster résulte d'une classification par méthode d'apprentissage profond à partir d'imagerie très haute résolution spatiale (1.5m) SPOT 6/7. Des post-traitements ont été effectués afin de mieux caractériser les classes relatives à l'artificialisation.

Les cartographies des espaces bâtis sur la région Occitanie résultent d'une extraction automatique par méthode d'apprentissage profond (deep learning) à partir d'imagerie très haute résolution spatiale (1.5m) SPOT 6/7, pour les années 2015 à 2019.

The evolution of infrastructure networks such as roads and streets are of utmost importance to understand the evolution of urban systems. However, datasets describing these spatial objects are rare and sparse. The database presented here represents the road network at the french national level described in the historical map of Cassini in the 18th century. The digitalization of this historical map is based on a collaborative platform methodology that we describe in detail. These data can be used for a variety of interdisciplinary studies, covering multiple spatial resolutions and ranging from history, geography, urban economics to the science of network. (2015-01-15)
