Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of processed images of burned areas, and in particular to a method and device for automatically discriminating and extracting multiple thresholds of burned areas. Background Art

[0002] As one of the main natural disasters in China, forest and grassland fires have a very fast development trend and unpredictable combustion directions, making it difficult to be quickly controlled. However, with the continuous development of remote sensing satellites, reliable guarantee for real-time global monitoring of fires has been provided. Based on multi-source multi-spectral satellites, information such as the area and scope of burned areas can be accurately obtained, which is of great significance for real-time monitoring of the development trend of the fire situation during the disaster, and provides efficient assistance for the timely control of the fire situation and the disaster assessment after the disaster.

[0003] Remote sensing technology has been widely used in the monitoring of forest and grassland fires due to its characteristics such as large detection range, fast information acquisition, and less ground restriction. Before and after a fire occurs, the vegetation traits in the burned area change, and its characteristic spectra also change greatly, especially in the near-infrared band range (0.75~2.5μm). Currently, the detection of burned areas mainly relies on the analysis of spectral characteristics. By constructing spectral index operations within the area, the accurate range of the burned area is inversely calculated. However, due to the rapid development of forests and grasslands, and the influence of weather factors after a fire, a large number of clouds may appear around the burning area. Since the values of shadows in the near-infrared band are very close to those of clouds, it will seriously interfere with the extraction of the burned area. In addition, buildings around the burned area will also bring shadows. Therefore, removing cloud shadows is particularly important for automatically and quickly extracting the accurate range of the burned area. Summary of the Invention

[0054] Example 1

[0055] Referring to Figure 1 , a step flowchart of an automated multi-threshold discrimination and extraction method for a burned area provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As Figure 1 shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0056] Step 101: Preprocess the pre-disaster and post-disaster remote sensing images of the burned area obtained to generate preprocessed images;

[0057] Step 102: Based on the preprocessed images, construct the NDSI index;

[0058] Step 103: Based on the NDSI index, process the remote sensing images to enhance the spectral differences between cloud, water, shadow interference factors and the burned area, and generate raster images;

[0059] Step 104: Automatically classify the burned area and cloud, water, shadow interference factors based on the OTSU algorithm;

[0060] Step 105: Based on the threshold segmentation, perform interference factor removal processing on the remote sensing images to generate area removal images;

[0061] Step 106: Extract the NDVI-D index for two periods of pre-disaster and post-disaster of the area removal images, and perform adaptive threshold segmentation on the extraction results to obtain a binary raster map of the burned area, and obtain a vector map of the burned area as needed.

[0062] The technical solution adopted in this embodiment is as follows: First, process the pre-disaster and post-disaster Sentinel-2 images obtained, resample them to improve the resolution, then reduce the dimension to 8 bits, construct the NDSI index. The NDSI index has a good recognition effect on clouds, water, and shadows. Based on the OTSU adaptive threshold, extract the cloud, water, and shadow areas from the raster images calculated by the index and perform reclassification. Set the cloud, water, and shadow areas to 0, and other areas to 1, and create a mask to remove the original images. Extract the NDVI-D index for two periods of pre-disaster and post-disaster of the obtained removed images, and perform adaptive threshold segmentation on the extraction results to obtain a binary raster map of the burned area, and obtain a vector map of the burned area as needed. The overall process is automated, and only by inputting raster images can the accurate burned area range be obtained.

[0063] First, the indexes and algorithms involved in the automated burned area extraction process can be briefly described.

[0064] 1. NDSI index

[0065] Since the burned area is prone to be confused with surrounding water bodies, buildings, or cloud shadows during the extraction process, it is crucial to remove water bodies and shadows in advance to improve the accuracy of burned area extraction. Water bodies have obvious spectral characteristics in the near-infrared band, and shadow areas can be well distinguished from the burned area in the short-wave infrared and mid-infrared ranges. Therefore, the present invention constructs the NDSI index to eliminate the influence of clouds, water bodies, and shadows.

[0066] The constructed NDSI index is:

[0067]

[0068] 2. NDVI-D index

[0069] One of the conditions for a fire to occur is a large amount of combustibles, and the combustibles in forest fires or grassland fires are mostly vegetation. Therefore, there will be obvious changes in the vegetation cover on the ground surface before and after a fire in the burned area. So, the burned area can be identified based on the judgment of the ground surface vegetation. Healthy vegetation reflects more near-infrared (NIR) and green light but absorbs more red and blue light. Therefore, the NDVI index can be used as a standardized method to measure the vegetation state. Due to the obvious changes in vegetation before and after the fire, subtracting the NDVI before and after the fire can obtain a better result of the burned area range because there are no obvious spectral information changes in other ground objects.

[0070] The NDVI index is:

[0071]

[0072]

[0073] 3. OSTU algorithm

[0074] The assumption of the OTSU algorithm is that there exists a threshold TH that divides all pixels of the image into two classes C1

[0075] (less than TH) and C2 (greater than TH). Then the means of these two classes of pixels are m1 and m2 respectively, and the global mean of the image is mG. At the same time, the probabilities that pixels are divided into classes C1 and C2 are p1 and p2 respectively. Therefore, there is:

[0076]

[0077]

[0078] The between-class variance expression is:

[0079]

[0080] Among them, , ,

[0081] The gray level k that maximizes σ2 is the OTSU threshold.

[0082] OSTU is considered the best algorithm for threshold selection in image segmentation. It is simple to calculate, not affected by image brightness and contrast, and can find ideal thresholds for the extraction of dewatered, cloud, shadow, and burned areas in the present invention.

[0083] Next, the detailed process of the embodiments of the present invention will be described as follows.

[0084] The automated process of this embodiment is generally divided into four modules: 1. Image preprocessing module; 2. Image dewatering, cloud, and shadow masking module; 3. Burned area judgment and calculation extraction module; 4. Burned area result processing and output module. Each step of the overall process can generate raster or vector data of the required intermediate products according to requirements and can be used as the input of other related algorithms.

[0085] The detailed process is as follows:

[0086] 1.1 Obtain the pre-disaster and post-disaster images of the burned area of Sentinel-2, and use the Sen2cor plugin released by ESA to perform radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction on the L1C data, and output the processed raster image.

[0087] 1.2 Resample the processed pre-disaster and post-disaster raster images, and resample all bands to a resolution of 10m.

[0088] 1.3 Reduce the bit depth of the obtained images of each band to 8bit, which not only reduces the data volume but also facilitates subsequent processing.

[0089] 1.4 Synthesize the required bands, and the synthesized raster image can be selected for output according to requirements. The quality of the processed image can be checked and other processing can be performed on the original image data according to the situation.

[0090] 2.1 Perform band operations on the preprocessed Sentinel-2 images before and after the disaster respectively. Select Band 4 of the Sentinel-2 image for the red band, Band 8 of the Sentinel-2 image for the near-infrared band, and Band 12 of the Sentinel-2 image for the short-wave infrared band. Calculate NDSI using these three bands. The result of NDSI is in the range of [-1,1], and NDSI can be selected for output as the intermediate process result.

[0091] 2.2 Automatically obtain the threshold using the OTSU method, divide the obtained raster image into two parts, set the part greater than the adaptive threshold to 0, and the part less than the adaptive threshold to 1.

[0092] 2.3 Convert the pre-disaster and post-disaster images obtained by Otsu threshold segmentation into vectors, take the union of the two-phase vectors, and obtain the maximum cloud, water, and shadow vectors of the two-phase images, which are used as the extraction mask.

[0093] 2.4 Use the maximum mask vector extracted from the pre-disaster and post-disaster images to remove clouds, water, and shadows from the pre-disaster and post-disaster images. Extract the pre-processed pre-disaster and post-disaster Sentinel-2 images and remove the invalid information extracted from the interfering burned areas.

[0094] 2.5 Perform threshold judgment on the images after removing clouds, water, and shadows. Set the empirical threshold and judge whether there are still areas below the set empirical threshold after the images are processed. If the minimum pixel value of Band 4 in the post-disaster image is greater than the set empirical threshold, the operation ends, indicating that there is no burned area in the region. If the minimum pixel value of Band 4 in the post-disaster image is less than the set empirical threshold, set it to N, indicating that there is a burned area in the region.

[0095] 2.6 Count the number of pixels in Band 4 of the post-disaster image that are less than the set threshold. Let the number be K. If it is less than the set threshold, it may be noise or the remaining points of clouds, water, and shadows after mask removal, and it is not considered, and it is considered that there is no burned area in the region. If it is greater than the set threshold, traverse each point with a Band 4 pixel value greater than the set empirical threshold. If there are no N values greater than the set ratio in its surrounding 8×8 matrix, the point is identified as a non-burned area point. If there are N values greater than the set ratio in its surrounding 8×8 matrix, it is regarded as a point in the burned area. After traversing, if there are such points, it is regarded as having a burned area in this range, otherwise it is regarded as having no burned area.

[0096] 3.1 The NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) is used in the calculation of the burned area. The pre-disaster and post-disaster pre-processed Sentinel-2 images are used for band operations respectively. The red band selects Band 4 of the Sentinel image, and the near-infrared band selects Band 8 of the Sentinel image. Perform NDVI band operations on the pre-disaster and post-disaster Sentinel-2 images respectively, and subtract the NDVI processing results of the pre-disaster and post-disaster to obtain the range of the area with obvious spectral changes before and after the disaster, that is, the area of the burned area extracted. Construct the index NDVI-D based on the difference of NDVI before and after the disaster.

[0097] 3.2 Perform OSTU (Otsu) adaptive threshold optimization on the obtained NDVI-D raster image to select the best threshold. Set the part greater than the obtained threshold to 1, which is the range of the burned area, and set the part less than the obtained threshold to 0, which is the range of the non-burned area.

[0098] 4.1 Remove small patches from the obtained binary raster map of the burned area, remove the noise generated during the extraction process, convert the obtained processed binary map into a vector, smooth the edges of the vector, and eliminate the surface components of the vector according to requirements.

[0099] 4.2 Store all intermediate results and final achievements uniformly for easy calling and modification in subsequent processing.

[0100] Example of the automated extraction process for the burned area

[0101] Obtain the pre-disaster and post-disaster Sentinel-2 remote sensing images of the Muli County forest fire on March 30 in Sichuan, automatically preprocess the input images, obtain the images after radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction and downscale them to 8 bits, select the required images for band composition and output the image results.

[0102] Perform band operations on the preprocessed Sentinel-2 images, calculate the NDSI, and automatically select the optimal threshold according to the OSTU automatic threshold method to generate a binary map. Convert the two-phase raster to a vector and find the union, and use the merged vector to mask clouds, water, and shadows to remove the factors interfering with the extraction of the burned area. Judge the burned area of the image after removing clouds, water, and shadows. First, set an empirical threshold to judge whether there are points smaller than the threshold in the area. If so, calculate the number of points smaller than the threshold. If the number is too small, it is regarded as noise, that is, there is no burned area in this area. If the number of points is greater than the set threshold, traverse the suspected burned area points. If the number of suspected burned area points within the 8×8 matrix range around this point is greater than the set percentage, there is a burned area in this area and the next operation is performed.

[0103] Calculate the NDVI band for the pre-disaster and post-disaster processed images respectively, and find the difference between the results to obtain the NDVI-D. Use the OSTU method to find the optimal threshold for this image for segmentation to obtain the range of the burned area.

[0104] Remove small patches from the obtained burned area range and smooth the edges of the patches. Store the obtained burned area extraction results and intermediate processes, as specifically shown in Figure 3 Figures (a) and (b).
