[0020] Among them, the above complete river ecological environment quality evaluation process from data acquisition, processing, feature extraction, index calculation to evaluation result output. This process uses multi-source remote sensing image data, combines preprocessing, feature parameter extraction, index calculation and evaluation model, etc. to realize the systematic and comprehensive evaluation of the ecological environment quality of the target river area, overcoming the defects of traditional evaluation methods such as dependence on field sampling, high cost, limited coverage and difficulty in fully reflecting the overall situation of river ecological environment.
[0021] In the embodiments of the present application, the remote sensing image data contains green band, red band, near-infrared band and short-wave infrared band. The green band has strong water penetration ability and can be used to monitor water depth and suspended solids in water. The red band and near-infrared band have significant effect in vegetation monitoring and can reflect vegetation coverage and growth conditions. The short-wave infrared band helps to identify different land use types and rock types, etc., providing a more comprehensive data source for subsequent extraction of feature parameters related to river ecological environment.
[0022] In the embodiment of the present application, in the step of acquiring multi-source remote sensing image data of the target river area, the spatial resolution of the optical remote sensing image data is not less than 10 meters, and the time resolution is not less than 15 days; the spatial resolution of the radar remote sensing image data is not less than 30 meters, and the time resolution is not less than 30 days, which ensures that the data can clearly reflect the detailed features of the river in space, such as river width and river bank condition, and can capture the dynamic changes of the river ecological environment in time, meeting the needs of large-scale, regular monitoring and evaluation of river ecological environment quality, and ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of the evaluation results.
[0023] In the embodiment of the present application, in the process of radiometric correction of the acquired multi-source remote sensing image data, the optical remote sensing image data is corrected by using the radiative transfer equation method; the radiative transfer equation method can better eliminate the influence of atmospheric scattering, absorption and other factors on the radiance of optical remote sensing image, so that the image data more truly reflects the reflection characteristics of the ground object; the absolute calibration method can convert the gray value of the radar remote sensing image into the backscattering coefficient with physical meaning, improving the quantitative analysis accuracy of the radar image data and ensuring the reliability of the corrected image data, laying a good data foundation for subsequent feature extraction and index calculation.
[0024] In the embodiment of the present application, the method for extracting the river width from the corrected image data is: B1, using an edge detection algorithm to identify the river boundary, and obtaining the river width by calculating the vertical distance between the river boundaries, which can quickly and accurately determine the boundary range of the river, and then accurately calculate the river width, providing key data for analyzing the hydrological morphological characteristics of the river; B2, the method for extracting the river length is: using a center line extraction algorithm to extract the center line of the identified river area, and obtaining the river length by calculating the length of the center line, which can effectively extract the main trend of the river, accurately calculate the river length, and help to understand the extension range and basin scale of the river, providing an important basis for evaluating the river ecological integrity and other indexes.
[0025] In the embodiment of the present application, when calculating the water quality index, the reflectivity characteristics of the water body in different wave bands are used to construct a water quality inversion model, and water quality parameters such as chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen content are obtained by inversion, and the inversion results are classified according to the water quality standard to obtain the water quality index evaluation results. The reflectivity characteristics of the water body in different wave bands are used to construct a water quality inversion model, and water quality parameters such as chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen content are obtained by inversion, and the water quality index evaluation results are obtained by classification according to the water quality standard. This method realizes rapid and large-scale monitoring and evaluation of water quality parameters based on remote sensing images, without the need for a large number of field sampling, reduces the evaluation cost, and at the same time can reflect the spatial distribution difference of water quality, provides a scientific basis for mastering the overall water quality of the river and judging the degree of water pollution.

The evaluation model combining analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is constructed. The analytic hierarchy process divides the complex evaluation problem into different levels, compares each evaluation index with each other and assigns weights, so that the determination of index weight is more scientific and reasonable. The fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method can handle the uncertainty and fuzziness in the evaluation process, combine the evaluation results of each index with the weight, and obtain the final river ecological environment quality evaluation result. The combination of the two methods makes the evaluation process more systematic and objective, improves the accuracy and rationality of the evaluation result, and is more in line with the actual river ecological conditions.

After the evaluation result is output, a step of generating a river ecological environment quality evaluation report according to the evaluation result is included.

This report provides specific and operable guidance for the protection and management of the river ecological environment, so that relevant departments can develop reasonable protection and management measures according to the report to promote the improvement of the river ecological environment.
