Over the past 2 to 3 decades,Chinese forests are estimated to act as a large carbon sink,yet the magnitude and spatial patterns of this sink differ considerably among *** 3 microwave(L-and X-band vegetation optical depth[VOD])and 3 optical(normalized difference vegetation index,leaf area index,and tree cover)remote-sensing vegetation products,this study compared the estimated live woody aboveground biomass carbon(AGC)dynamics over China between 2013 and *** results showed that tree cover has the highest spatial consistency with 3 published AGC maps(mean correlation value R=0.84),followed by L-VOD(R=0.83),which outperform the other *** AGC estimation model was proposed to combine all indices to estimate the annual AGC dynamics in China during 2013 to *** performance of the AGC estimation model was good(root mean square error=0.05 Pg C and R^(2)=0.90 with a mean relative uncertainty of 9.8% at pixel scale[0.25°]).Results of the AGC estimation model showed that carbon uptake by the forests in China was about+0.17 Pg C year^(-1) from 2013 to *** the regional level,provinces in southwest China including Guizhou(+22.35 Tg C year^(-1)),Sichuan(+14.49 Tg C year^(-1)),and Hunan(+11.42 Tg C year^(-1))provinces had the highest carbon sink rates during 2013 to *** of the carbon-sink regions have been afforested recently,implying that afforestation and ecological engineering projects have been effective means for carbon sequestration in these regions.

Stereo dense image matching (DIM) is a key technique in generating dense 3D point clouds at low cost, among which semi-global matching (SGM) is one of the best compromise between the matching accuracy and the time cost. Most commercial or open-source DIM software packages therefore adopt SGM as the core algorithm for the 3D point generation, which computes matching results in 2D image space by simply aggregating the matching results of multi-directional 1D paths. However, such aggregations of SGM did not consider the disparity consistency between adjacent pixels in 2D image space, which will finally decrease the matching accuracy. To achieve higher-accuracy while keep the high time efficiency of SGM, this paper proposes an improved SGM with a novel matching aggregation optimization constraint. The core algorithm formulates the matching aggregation as the optimization of a global energy function, and a local solution of the energy function is utilized to impose the disparity consistency between adjacent pixels, which is capable of removing noises in the matching aggregation results and increasing the final matching accuracy at low time cost. Experiments on aerial image dataset show that the proposed method outperformed the traditional SGM method and another improved SGM method. Compared with the traditional SGM, our proposed method can increase the average matching accuracy by at most 11%. Therefore, our proposed method can applied in some smart 3D applications, e.g. 3D change detection, city-scale reconstruction, and global survey mapping.
