This repository contains the Python code supporting the following paper:

• Forget Y., Shimoni M., Gilbert M., and Linard C. Complementarity Between Sentinel-1 and Landsat 8 Imagery for Built-Up Mapping in Sub-Saharan Africa, In Press, 2018.

Input and output datasets can be downloaded from Zenodo.

Dependencies

Python dependencies are listed in the environment.yml and the requirements.txt files.

A virtual environment containing all the required dependencies can be automatically created using conda:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yannforget/landsat-sentinel-fusion.git
cd landsat-sentinel-fusion

# Create the virtual environment
conda env create --file environment.yml

# Activate the environment
source activate landsat-sentinel-fusion

The code also depends on:

• Orfeo Toolbox for the computation of GLCM textures ;
• SNAP for SAR data preprocessing.

Data

Input and output datasets are available in a Zenodo deposit.

# Download and decompress the data
wget -O data.zip https://zenodo.org/record/1450932/files/data.zip?download=1
unzip data.zip

Validation samples can be found in data/raw/reference (as shapefiles) or in data/processed/reference (as rasters).

Classification outputs and performance metrics are located in data/output for each case study.

Due to storage constraints, input satellite imagery is not included in the Zenodo deposit. However, the product identifiers are available in data/raw/landsat/products.txt and data/raw/sentinel-1/products.txt. This means that they can be automatically downloaded using auxiliary software such as landsatxplore or sentinelsat.

For Landsat 8 scenes:

pip install landsatxplore

# Earth Explorer credentials
export LANDSATXPLORE_USERNAME=<your_username>
export LANDSATXPLORE_PASSWORD=<your_password>

cd data/raw/landsat

# Download each product with landsatxplore
for id in products.txt; do landsatxplore download $id; done

# Decompress each product
for product in *.zip; do unzip $product; done

For Sentinel-1 imagery:

cd ../sentinel-1

# Install and configure sentinelsat
pip install sentinelsat
export DHUS_USER=<your_username>
export DHUS_PASSWORD=<your_password>

# Download Sentinel-1 products
for id in products.txt; do sentinelsat --download --name $id; done

Code

Running the analysis

# Preprocessing of Optical and SAR data
python preprocess_landsat.py
python preprocess_sentinel1.py

# Dimensionality reduction (PCA) of SAR data
python dimreduction.py

# Random forest classification and validation
python classification.py

Modules

• src/glcm.py : computing of GLCM textures using Orfeo Toolbox.
• src/metadata.py : accessing metadata specific to each case study.
• src/raster.py : various raster processing functions.
• src/utils.py : helper functions.

Scripts

The following scripts has been used for the study but are not necessary to run the analysis :

• src/aoi.py : generates areas of interest for each case study.
• src/climate.py : monthly ndvi and precipitations for each case study.
• src/land_masks.py : land/water masks using openstreetmap data.
• src/preprocess_reference.py : rasterizes reference samples (polygons).
