Abstract

The invention discloses a quick updating method for glacier inventories. The method comprises the following steps: with a Landsat image having relatively high quality as a basis, calculating a normalized snow cover index in GEE; setting the threshold value of NDSI to be 0.3, fusing the required Randolph glacier inventory (RGI), generating a buffer area outwards by taking 100 m as a radius, and superposing the buffer area with the NDSI to obtain the boundary of the bare ice area of a glacier; inverting brightness temperature based on the thermal infrared band of Landsat 8, calculating a gradient based on SRTM or ASTER GDEM, and extracting a superglacial moraine area under the conditions that the brightness temperature is less than 10 DEG C and the gradient is less than 24 DEGs to obtain theboundary of the superglacial moraine area; and judging whether the boundary of the buffer area is intersected with the boundary of the glacier or not, and if so, expanding the range of the buffer area until the buffer area boundary is not intersected with the glacier boundary, thereby acquiring the final glacier boundary. According to the quick updating method for glacier inventories, the GEE serves as a platform, the glacier is divided into the bare ice area and the superglacial moraine area for extraction, the advancing glacier is recognized by setting the buffer area with a certain distance, and a large-range glacier inventory is rapidly and accurately updated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of glacier catalogs, in particular to a method for quickly updating glacier catalogs. Background technique [0002] Glaciers are very important solid water resources that provide supplies to downstream rivers and are "indicators" of climate change. Therefore, monitoring changes in glacier boundaries is crucial to the production and life of human society. At present, the main methods can be divided into two types: manual visual interpretation and computer automatic classification. Manual visual interpretation has high accuracy and is relatively simple, but it takes a long time and may misjudge glacier areas due to personal subjective factors. Computer automatic classification mainly uses the strong absorption of short-wave infrared band and strong reflection of visible light to near-infrared band by ice and snow, mainly including supervised classification, unsupervised classification, band ratio method and normalized ...
