Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flood disaster monitoring, and in particular to a flood disaster monitoring method based on threshold interval and neighborhood analysis. Background Art

[0002] Remote sensing technology has great potential in extracting flood disaster inundation information from large-scale and complex surfaces. However, flood disasters are often accompanied by extreme weather, which causes optical remote sensing using visible light and near-infrared bands to be greatly affected by clouds and rain, making it impossible to obtain effective surface information.

[0003] Remote sensing technology is used as a routine means of monitoring floods and waterlogging. Threshold segmentation methods use manual experience, the OTSU (maximum inter-class variance) method, or the KI (Kittler-Illingworth) method to select one or more thresholds to delineate between water and non-water bodies. These methods typically only consider the magnitude of the backscatter coefficient in radar imagery. For complex surface areas, such as mountain shadows and densely populated urban areas, they fail to account for the noise impact of low-backscatter non-water features such as shadows, roads, and airports on water extraction. This fails to fully utilize the spatial distribution information contained in radar remote sensing imagery, resulting in poor application effectiveness in complex scenarios. Currently, among high-precision flood monitoring methods, machine learning relies on the construction of large sample sets, resulting in high computational complexity and poor real-time performance, making it difficult to meet the rapid response requirements of flood monitoring. Region growing algorithms are sensitive to noise and computationally intensive, making them ineffective for complex image processing. Methods such as change detection and time series analysis require large amounts of image data and are significantly affected by coherent speckle noise. Summary of the Invention

By analyzing the distribution and elevation characteristics of water and mixed land pixels in different spatial regions, a mountain shadow index (MSI) is constructed to effectively remove pseudo-water bodies caused by mountain shadows. Neighborhood analysis is used to further identify the land and water properties of mixed land and water pixels, thereby overcoming classification errors caused by low-scattering objects and significantly improving monitoring accuracy. This method features minimal human intervention, simple threshold setting, and strong adaptability. It offers the advantages of rapid response and high-precision monitoring in flood disaster emergency monitoring. It also exhibits strong adaptability and robustness in complex terrain and multi-source radar remote sensing applications. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
