Global 30m impervious surface dynamic data set (GISD30)

Global 30m impervious surface dynamic data set (GISD30)?

The Global 30 m Impervious Surface Dynamics Dataset (GISD30) provides a valuable resource for understanding the changing landscape of impervious surfaces worldwide from 1985 to 2020. This dataset has far-reaching scientific significance and practical applications in the fields of urban sustainable development, anthropogenic carbon emissions assessment, and global ecological environment modeling. GISD30 was carefully created through an innovative automated approach that takes full advantage of spectral generalization and automated sample extraction strategies. This dataset leverages time-series Landsat images on the Google Earth Engine cloud computing platform to provide comprehensive insights into the dynamics of impervious surfaces. Preface – Artificial Intelligence Tutorial

During the dataset creation process, global training samples and corresponding reflectance spectra are automatically exported, improving accuracy and reliability. A spatio-temporal adaptive classification model is employed that takes into account the dynamic nature of impervious surfaces in different eras and geographical regions. Furthermore, a spatiotemporal consistency correction method is introduced to enhance the reliability of impermeable surface dynamics. The GISD30 dynamic model demonstrated excellent accuracy, validated using a large dataset of 23,322 global time series samples, with an overall accuracy of 90.1% and a kappa coefficient of 0.865. This dataset provides important insights into the global doubling of impervious surface area over the past 35 years (1985 to 2020), with the most significant increase in Asia. The GISD30 dataset is freely accessible and is an important tool for monitoring urbanization at regional and global scales, providing valuable support for a variety of applications.

Use the global dynamic data set to mark the extended information within a single band; specifically, the permeable surface and impervious surface before 1985 are marked as 0 and 1 respectively, 1985-1990, 1990-1995, 1995-2000, 2000 -Impervious surfaces that expanded during 2005, 2005-2010, 2010-2010, 2015, and 2015-2020 are labeled 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
