TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mosquito monitoring, in particular to an Aedes habitat recognition and extraction method based on remote sensing index and deep learning. BACKGROUND
[0002] Vector organisms refer to organisms that play a role in disease transmission and can transmit pathogens to humans. Common vector organisms include mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, midges, mites, fleas, ticks, horseflies and mice. Among them, mosquitoes play a key role in the transmission of many diseases, so they need to be monitored. Mosquitoes not only sting and annoy people, but also carry a variety of disease vectors and transmit them to humans, causing global public health problems. The World Health Organization declared mosquitoes as the "number one enemy" in 1996. In recent years, mosquito-borne diseases, especially diseases transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and Zika virus, have become major public health challenges. With global warming, the acceleration of urbanization, the booming of tourism and trade, and the continuous change of ecological environment, the survival rate, population size and activity range of mosquitoes have increased, increasing the transmission mode of mosquito-borne diseases, and the frequent outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases have made it increasingly important to control their numbers.
[0003] Currently, the identification of potential mosquito breeding sites relies on manual field investigation and traditional statistical analysis methods, which have certain feasibility in small areas, but have the problems of high work intensity, low efficiency and difficulty in covering large areas. With the development of remote sensing technology, more and more studies have begun to try to extract potential mosquito breeding habitats using high-resolution remote sensing images, especially using water bodies, vegetation and buildings as environmental indicators. However, the existing methods still have many shortcomings: first, although the remote sensing index method has certain advantages in the identification of natural features such as water bodies and vegetation, it is difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision extraction due to the factors of fuzzy boundaries and spectral mixing of urban complex surfaces; second, the recognition ability of buildings, a type of urban artificial environment, is weak, and this type of area is an important breeding place for mosquitoes such as Aedes albopictus; third, current methods mostly fail to effectively fuse multi-band information and lack deep mining of image spatial structure and semantic features, making it difficult to achieve fine description of mosquito habitats in high-heterogeneity urban environments.
[0004] In summary, the existing Aedes habitat recognition technology has the problems of limited Aedes habitat recognition accuracy, insufficient complex ground object extraction capability, and lack of multi-source information deep fusion. Therefore, how to develop a method that can effectively recognize natural environmental factors such as vegetation coverage and water body distribution, and also extract complex man-made objects such as buildings, improve the spatial recognition capability of Aedes habitat, and realize the fine and automatic recognition of Aedes habitat, is a technical problem that needs to be solved in this technical field. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide an Aedes habitat recognition and extraction method based on remote sensing index and deep learning, which uses multi-source information deep fusion method to identify and extract water body and vegetation by remote sensing index, and realizes the automatic recognition and fine extraction of typical Aedes habitat types by combining deep learning and remote sensing index. This method can construct an automatic processing flow covering a large area, significantly reducing the workload of manual patrol and image interpretation, and is suitable for large-scale Aedes habitat monitoring and dynamic updating requirements. It can be applied to any region to provide efficient and accurate technical support for Aedes prevention and control in different regions, and has good universality and scalability. It effectively solves the problems of limited Aedes habitat recognition accuracy, insufficient complex ground object extraction capability, and lack of multi-source information deep fusion, and has good application prospect.
