Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ocean remote sensing and satellite monitoring, and particularly relates to a method, system and program for evaluating and calibrating the quality of spaceborne lidar ocean color products, especially for improving the inversion accuracy of lidar ocean water parameters. Background Art

[0002] Ocean color remote sensing is an important means for ocean ecological environment monitoring and carbon cycle research. For a long time, it has mainly relied on passive optical remote sensing technology based on the principle of sunlight reflection. However, passive remote sensing technology is severely restricted by solar illumination conditions, weather conditions and day-night cycles in practical applications. In particular, it cannot provide continuous and effective observation data at night or in cloud-covered areas, and it is difficult to achieve all-weather and all-day monitoring of ocean ecological parameters.

[0003] In recent years, spaceborne lidar technology, with its active remote sensing mode of actively emitting laser pulses and receiving target scattering signals, has provided new possibilities for breaking through the above limitations of passive remote sensing technology. Spaceborne lidar has the advantages of high spatial resolution, day-night observation ability and strong penetration ability for thin clouds, and has gradually become an important supplementary means for ocean color observation, attracting high attention in the field of ocean remote sensing at home and abroad.

[0004] However, currently, most spaceborne lidar systems are designed for atmospheric detection or land ecological monitoring, and their initial targets are not the accurate inversion of ocean color parameters, resulting in many challenges in data quality verification and calibration in actual ocean applications. Specifically, it is manifested as follows: (1) There is an obvious mismatch problem between the spatial scale and revisit period of lidar observations and the rapidly changing ocean ecological processes. Due to the small laser spot footprint of lidar, limited spatial coverage and discrete data sampling, it is insufficient to match large-scale and high-frequency ocean ecological processes, making it difficult to effectively apply traditional evaluation methods based on in-situ measured data and large-scale passive remote sensing data.

[0005] (2) Existing evaluation methods usually lack effective spatio-temporal matching optimization strategies, resulting in the evaluation of lidar data quality being highly sensitive to the selection of artificially set spatio-temporal matching windows. Different window strategies are likely to produce very different evaluation results, seriously affecting the reliability and stability of product accuracy evaluation.

[0006] (3) Due to the interference of complex factors such as atmospheric aerosols and bubble noise caused by wind speed on ocean color signals, traditional evaluation methods have not effectively identified and filtered such abnormal data, resulting in relatively large deviations in product quality evaluation results and making it difficult to effectively guide the optimization and operational application of lidar ocean color products.

[0007] (4) In existing methods, fixed values or rough partitioning are usually adopted for the conversion factors involved in the inversion of ocean color parameters, failing to effectively consider the seasonal variations and regional differences in ocean bio-optical properties, resulting in insufficient accuracy of inversion products and unable to provide reliable data support for ocean ecological monitoring and carbon flux estimation.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a multi-source data fusion evaluation and dynamic calibration method for the characteristics of spaceborne lidar ocean color products, so as to effectively improve the quality and stability of lidar ocean color products, solve the above technical problems, and give full play to the potential advantages of lidar in the field of ocean ecological environment monitoring. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a novel method for evaluating and calibrating the quality of spaceborne lidar ocean color products. A dynamic multi-source collaborative calibration framework is proposed, which combines lidar, buoy and passive remote sensing data to realize the optimization of ocean color products with high precision, full-time and global coverage, providing key technical support for ocean ecological research and climate change monitoring.

[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A method for evaluating and calibrating the quality of spaceborne lidar ocean color products, characterized by comprising the following steps: Step S1 Multi-source data acquisition and standardization: Integrate spaceborne lidar ocean color products, in-situ measured data, passive remote sensing ocean color products and auxiliary data, and perform time alignment, spatial registration and unit standardization on data from different sources; Step S2 Dynamic spatio-temporal matching window optimization: Based on the spatio-temporal heterogeneity of the buoy and lidar, construct multi-scale matching windows, and automatically screen the optimal matching strategy through comprehensive scoring; Step S3 Outlier data filtering and preprocessing: Eliminate outliers, and filter out atmospheric and bubble noises based on the aerosol optical depth (AOD) and wind speed thresholds; Step S4 Dynamic calculation of seasonal conversion factors: Based on the particulate backscattering coefficient bbp of the measured data and the 180° scattering coefficient βp(π) retrieved by lidar, calculate the regional-specific conversion factor χp(π) seasonally and generate a global seasonal lookup table; Step S5 Multi-source cross-validation and consistency analysis: Cross-compare the lidar ocean color products, passive ocean color products and measured data, generate a consistency report using the weighted average method, identify systematic biases and mark low-confidence regions; Step S6 Construction of spatio-temporal interpolation models for regional conversion factors Based on the differences in ocean dynamic zonation and bio-optical properties, the global sea area is divided into several sea areas, and the seasonal spatio-temporal prediction of the conversion factor χp(π) is carried out using the interpolation algorithm; Step S7 Full-link uncertainty quantification: Quantify the errors in each link of data acquisition, spatio-temporal matching, band conversion and inversion algorithm through Monte Carlo simulation, and generate the confidence interval map of the lidar water color product; Step S8 Day-night difference correction: Statistically correct the day-night differences of the conversion factor χp(π) for daytime and nighttime observation data respectively; Step S9 Dynamic feedback and product optimization: Real-time feedback the calibrated conversion factor χp(π) and error parameters to the lidar inversion process, update the matching logic and parameter priorities, and output the final water color product quality report containing indicators such as R², RMSE and confidence interval.

[0011] Preferably, in step S1, for the time asynchrony problem of different observation means of spaceborne lidar water color products, passive remote sensing water color products and in-situ measured data, the cubic spline interpolation method is used to align the buoy profile data with the satellite overpass time; In the spatial registration link, through the WGS84 coordinate system conversion and bilinear interpolation technology, the kilometer-level grid data of MODIS is coupled with the sub-meter-level lidar light spots in position, ensuring that the spatial offset between the buoy in-situ measurement points and the satellite observation trajectory is controlled within a hundred-meter error; Unit standardization focuses on solving the physical quantity differences between sensors. Based on the radiative transfer model, the buoy backscattering coefficient is unified to the lidar wavelength, and the auxiliary parameters including wind speed, aerosol optical depth AOD and sea surface temperature are dimensionless processed to form a multi-source data set that can be directly compared, providing data input with consistent benchmark for subsequent dynamic matching and calibration.

[0012] Preferably, the comprehensive scoring calculation formula of the multi-scale matching window in step S2 is: Comprehensive score = 0.4×R 2  + 0.3×(1 - RMSE) + 0.3×(1 - MAPE) where, R 2 is the coefficient of determination, RMSE is the root mean square error, and MAPE is the mean absolute percentage error; select the matching window with the highest comprehensive score as the optimal strategy.

[0013] Preferably, in step S3, the observation samples with AOD>0.3 and wind speed ≥9m / s are excluded or marked to prevent inversion anomalies caused by atmospheric interference and sea surface bubble noise.

[0014] Preferably, the calculation formula of the conversion factor χp(π) in the step S4 is as follows: χp(π)=bbp / (2πβp(π)), And it is statistically analyzed by region for the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter respectively to obtain a globally seasonal lookup table with regional specificity.

[0015] Preferably, in the multi-source cross-validation and consistency analysis in the step S5, the spaceborne lidar water color product, passive remote sensing water color product, and in-situ measured data are cross-compared, and the weighted average method is used with the weight being the data confidence level to generate a consistency report, identify systematic biases, and mark low-confidence regions. The weighted average calculation is as follows: , where, bbp 融合 is the fused water body particulate matter backscattering product, W i is the weight of the water color product, passive water color product, and measured data, and bbp i is the backscattering coefficient of the water color product, passive water color product, and measured data; If the absolute deviation between the single-source data and the fused value exceeds 2 times its own uncertainty, it is determined that the data has a systematic bias and is marked as an abnormal source; meanwhile, the weighted variance of the multi-source data within the calculation unit is calculated: , When >0.2×10 -3 or the effective data volume is less than 2 groups, the region is marked as a low-confidence region, and its spatial position is marked in the output result. Finally, a consistency report including the fused value, deviation distribution, and confidence level is generated, providing a quantitative basis for the optimization of the conversion factor and the iteration of the product.

[0016] Preferably, when partitioning the global sea area in the step S6, at least 26 marine dynamic regions are divided according to factors such as ocean circulation, water mass characteristics, and bio-optical properties, and Kriging interpolation or other geostatistical methods are used to perform spatio-temporal interpolation prediction on the conversion factor χp(π).

[0017] Preferably, the specific method of the step S7 is as follows: First, define the probability distribution of the error sources in each link: The lidar signal noise follows a Poisson distribution, and its standard deviation is determined by the signal-to-noise ratio SNR, ; The measurement error of the buoy in-situ measured data is set to a uniform distribution based on the calibration certificate, ∈ buoy~ U(-0.02bbp, +0.02bbp); The spatial offset error of spatio-temporal matching is modeled as a Gaussian distribution, ∈space~ N(0, 100 2 m 2 ); The uncertainty of the band conversion coefficient γ is assumed to be a normal distribution, γ ~ N(0.78, 0.05 2 ); The deviation of the inversion algorithm parameters is simulated by Gaussian noise, ∈ algo~ N(0, 0.1 2 ); The Monte Carlo simulation performs 1000 independent iterations. Each iteration randomly extracts the above error parameters and perturbs the input data, and then performs signal - noise superposition in turn: LiDAR βp ( π ) noisy = βp ( π ) + , The bbp of the buoy data band conversion 532 = bbp 700 × (532 / 700) -γ+δγ , where δ, γ is the perturbation term, Space - time position offset correction, the matching position correction is x new = x + ∈ space , and the perturbation of the inversion algorithm parameters βp ( π ) final = βp ( π ) noisy × (1 + ∈ algo ); Finally, the bbp value with perturbation is generated through the inversion model; Statistics the probability distribution of all iteration results, and calculates the 95% confidence interval: , where μ is the mean value, σ is the standard deviation; And further quantify the contribution degree i of each link to the total uncertainty through variance decomposition, i = 1, 2, 3, 4 correspond to data acquisition, space - time matching, band conversion, and inversion algorithm respectively. Finally, output the spatial error hot - spot map and the link contribution degree report to support product quality grading and calibration strategy optimization.

[0018] Preferably, in step S9, by dynamically adjusting the data source weights and adaptively shrinking the spatio-temporal matching window, the algorithm parameter selection logic is optimized, and a timeliness weighting factor is introduced to ensure that recent observation data dominates the inversion process.

[0019] Furthermore, the present invention also provides an on-board lidar ocean color product quality evaluation and calibration system, which executes the method, including: a) A data acquisition and management module for multi-source data acquisition and standardization in; b) A spatio-temporal matching optimization module for constructing and screening the optimal matching window according to the heterogeneity between the buoy and the lidar; c) An abnormal data processing module for filtering data with AOD and wind speed thresholds exceeding the preset range; d) A seasonal conversion calculation module for calculating and storing the conversion factor χp(π); e) A partition interpolation and uncertainty evaluation module for spatio-temporal interpolation of the conversion factor and outputting a confidence evaluation; f) A day-night correction and dynamic feedback module for correcting for day-night differences and real-time feedback of the correction results to the inversion process to generate a final quality report.

[0020] Preferably, the system further includes a multi-source cross-validation unit for automatically comparing the lidar ocean color product, passive remote sensing data, and in-situ measurement data during the product generation stage, outputting the confidence interval and consistency score of each index, and issuing a calibration requirement instruction when a deviation exceeds the threshold, triggering the dynamic feedback process of the system.

[0021] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program or instruction is stored, and when the computer program or instruction is executed by a processor, the method is implemented.

[0022] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a computer program product, including a computer program or instruction, and when the computer program or instruction is executed by a processor, the method is implemented.

[0023] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the technical effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The present invention first proposes a dynamically optimized multi-scale spatio-temporal matching strategy, which can adaptively screen the optimal matching window between the lidar and in-situ measurement data, solves the problems of unstable verification conclusions and insufficient accuracy caused by the traditional manual experience setting of the window, and significantly improves the objectivity and accuracy of the on-board lidar ocean color product quality evaluation.

[0032] The following combines the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the method for evaluating and calibrating the quality of spaceborne lidar ocean color products of the present invention specifically includes the following steps: Step 1: Multi-source data acquisition and standardization; Step 2: Optimization of dynamic spatio-temporal matching windows; Step 3: Filtering and preprocessing of abnormal data; Step 4: Dynamic calculation of seasonal conversion factors; Step 5: Multi-source cross-validation and consistency analysis; Step 6: Construction of spatio-temporal interpolation models for conversion factors in sub-regions; Step 7: Quantification of uncertainty in the entire link; Step 8: Day-night difference correction module; Step 9: Dynamic feedback and product optimization. The following will elaborate on each step in detail.

[0034] Step 1: Multi-source data acquisition and standardization; In multi-source data acquisition and standardization, spaceborne lidar ocean color products, in-situ measured data, passive remote sensing ocean color products, and auxiliary data (wind speed, aerosol optical depth AOD, sea surface temperature) are integrated; the data is time-aligned, spatially registered, and unit-standardized. Here, taking the spaceborne lidar ocean particulate backscattering coefficient bbp product as an example, in-situ measured data from buoys and the passive water color remote sensing MODIS product are used for verification.

[0035] For the time asynchrony problem of different observation means such as spaceborne lidar, in-situ buoys, and passive remote sensing, the cubic spline interpolation method is used to align the buoy profile data with the satellite overpass time. In the spatial registration process, through the WGS84 coordinate system transformation and bilinear interpolation technology, the kilometer-level grid data of MODIS is position-coupled with the sub-hundred-meter-level laser radar light spots, ensuring that the spatial offset between the in-situ measured points of the buoy and the satellite observation trajectory is controlled within a hundred-meter error. Unit standardization focuses on solving the physical quantity differences between sensors. Based on the radiative transfer model, the backscattering coefficient of the buoy is unified to the laser radar wavelength, and dimensionless processing is performed on auxiliary parameters such as wind speed and aerosol, forming a multi-source data set that can be directly compared, providing data input with consistent benchmarks for subsequent dynamic matching and calibration.

[0036] Step 2: Optimization of dynamic spatio-temporal matching windows. Based on the spatio-temporal heterogeneity between buoys and lidar, multi-scale matching windows are constructed, and the optimal window is automatically selected through statistical scoring. The calculation formula for statistical scoring is: Comprehensive score = 0.4×R 2  + 0.3×(1 - RMSE) + 0.3×(1 - MAPE) where R 2 is the coefficient of determination, RMSE is the root mean square error, and MAPE is the mean absolute percentage error; the window with the highest score is selected as the optimal matching strategy.

[0037] Here, the time window is 3 to 24 hours, and the spatial window is 9 - 50 kilometers.Figure 2 Evaluate scores for different matching windows.

[0038] Step 3: Anomaly data filtering and preprocessing: Remove outliers, and filter out atmospheric interference and bubble noise by combining the thresholds of AOD > 0.3 and wind speed ≥ 9 m / s.

[0039] Step 4: Dynamically calculate the seasonal conversion factor: Based on the particulate backscattering coefficient bbp of the measured data and the 180° scattering coefficient βp(π) obtained by lidar inversion, calculate the regional-specific conversion factor χp(π) = bbp / (2πβp(π)) seasonally, and generate a global seasonal lookup table.

[0040] In Step 5: Multi-source cross-validation and consistency analysis, cross-compare lidar water color products, passive water color products and measured data, and generate a consistency report using the weighted average method (weight is the data confidence level), identify systematic biases and mark low-confidence regions; The weighted average calculation is as follows: , where, bbp 融合 is the fused water particulate backscattering product, W i is the weight of water color products, passive water color products and measured data, and bbp i is the backscattering coefficient of water color products, passive water color products and measured data; If the absolute deviation between the single-source data and the fused value exceeds 2 times its own uncertainty (such as the lidar bbp error is ±0.5×10 -³ m -¹ when, the deviation threshold is set to 1.0×10 -³ m -¹ ), then it is determined that the data has a systematic bias and is marked as an abnormal source; at the same time, calculate the weighted variance of multi-source data within the calculation unit: , When > 0.2×10 -3 or the number of valid data is less than 2 groups, mark the area as a low-confidence area, mark its spatial position in the output result, and finally generate a consistency report including the fused value, deviation distribution and confidence level, providing a quantitative basis for conversion factor optimization and product iteration.

[0041] In Step 6: Construct a spatio-temporal interpolation model for the conversion factor by region. Based on the differences in ocean dynamic zoning and bio-optical characteristics, divide the global sea area into 26 sea areas, and establish a seasonal spatial distribution model of χp(π) by combining the Kriging interpolation algorithm to predict parameters in un-sampled areas.

[0042] Step 7: In the full-link uncertainty quantification, the errors in each link of data acquisition, spatio-temporal matching, band conversion, and inversion algorithm are quantified through Monte Carlo simulation to generate a 95% confidence interval map of the lidar water color product; First, define the probability distributions of the error sources in each link: The lidar signal noise follows a Poisson distribution, and its standard deviation is determined by the signal-to-noise ratio SNR, ; The measurement error of the buoy measured data is assumed to be uniformly distributed based on the calibration certificate, ∈ buoy~ U(-0.02bbp, +0.02bbp); The spatial offset error of spatio-temporal matching is modeled as a Gaussian distribution, ∈ space~ N(0, 100 2 m 2 ); The uncertainty of the band conversion coefficient γ is assumed to be a normal distribution, γ~ N(0.78, 0.05 2 ); The deviation of the inversion algorithm parameters is simulated with Gaussian noise, ∈ algo~ N(0, 0.1 2 ); The Monte Carlo simulation is performed with 1000 independent iterations. In each iteration, the above error parameters are randomly sampled and the input data is perturbed, and the signal noise superposition is performed in sequence: Lidar βp ( π ) noisy = βp ( π ) + , Buoy data band conversion bbp 532 = bbp 700 × (532 / 700) -γ+δγ , where δ, γ is the perturbation term, Spatio-temporal position offset correction, the matching position is corrected to x new = x + ∈ space , And the inversion algorithm parameter perturbation βp ( π ) final = βp ( π ) noisy × (1 + ∈ algo ); Finally, the perturbed bbp value is generated through the inversion model; Statistically analyze the probability distribution of all iteration results and calculate the 95% confidence interval: , where μ is the mean value, σ is the standard deviation; And further quantify the contribution degree i of each link to the total uncertainty through variance decomposition, i i = 1, 2, 3, 4 correspond to data acquisition, spatio-temporal matching, band conversion, and inversion algorithm respectively. Finally, output the spatial error hotspot map and the link contribution degree report to support the product quality grading and calibration strategy optimization.

[0043] Step eight: In the day-night difference correction module, separate the day and night observation data, statistically analyze the day-night difference of χp(π), design the time-sharing calibration coefficient and embed it into the inversion algorithm.

[0044] Step nine: In dynamic feedback and product optimization, the calibrated χp(π) and error parameters are real-time fed back to the lidar inversion process. By dynamically adjusting the data source weight (such as increasing the priority of measured data to 0.9 in the buoy dense area) and adaptively shrinking the spatio-temporal matching window (the spatial window in the high-dynamic sea area is shrunk to 5 km and the time window is compressed to ±3 hours), optimizing the algorithm parameter selection logic (preferably using the core parameters with an error contribution degree < 20%), and introducing a timeliness weighting factor ( α ( t ) = e- 0.1Δ t ) to ensure that the recent observation data dominates the inversion process. Finally, generate the global bbp product and the supporting quality report, covering the R², RMSE, 95% confidence interval, and the spatial distribution map of the low-confidence area, and support the data credibility grading for scientific research and operational applications.

[0045] Figure 3 is the comparison difference map before and after calibration. After calibration, the RMSE drops from 0.009 to 0.003, and the inversion accuracy is significantly improved.
