Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of remote sensing classification technology, and in particular to a remote sensing classification method and device for periglacial landforms. Background Technology

[0002] Periglacial landforms are unique systems formed by the interaction between the active permafrost layer and the surface in cold regions. Their distribution and morphology are core data for global climate change monitoring, engineering safety in cold regions, and ecological protection. However, periglacial landforms are mostly located in high-altitude, high-latitude extreme cold regions, and field surveys face insurmountable limitations. First, they lack spatiotemporal continuity; snow cover and short-term melting periods in cold regions only allow for sporadic sampling, making dynamic monitoring impossible. Second, data accuracy is low; micro-scale units such as frost heave mounds and thermomelt collapses are difficult to accurately map, and human interpretation is highly subjective, resulting in poor consistency. Third, they are costly and risky; transportation in cold regions is inconvenient, and there are hazards such as avalanches and crevasses, making a single large-scale survey cost several times more than that in ordinary areas, which cannot meet the needs of routine surveys.

[0003] Currently, remote sensing technology has become the mainstream extraction method, but existing automatic classification methods are not well adapted to periglacial landform features:

[0004] First, traditional pixel-based methods have fundamental shortcomings. Periglacial landforms have continuous spatial structures and hierarchical distribution characteristics. Macroscopically, they are distributed in bands along elevation and slope, and microscopically, complete morphological recognition is required. However, pixel-level classification only relies on spectral information, which severs spatial correlation.

[0005] Secondly, while deep learning semantic segmentation has advantages, it faces significant bottlenecks in extracting periglacial landforms. Firstly, the black-box model is detached from geoscientific logic and cannot embed the coupling patterns of altitude, slope, and vegetation, potentially misclassifying low-altitude bare land as freeze-thaw bare land and high-altitude meadows as creeping soil slopes, resulting in a lack of geographical plausibility. Secondly, the contradiction between sample dependence and the scarcity of cold-region data is prominent. Deep learning requires thousands to tens of thousands of labeled samples, but cold-region images are affected by snow cover and cloud cover, making accurate sample acquisition costly and model generalization ability poor. Thirdly, the fusion of multi-source data is weak, making it difficult to integrate remote sensing spectral, textural, and DEM topographic features, resulting in insufficient accuracy in extracting topographically dependent landforms such as debris slopes and frost heave hills.

[0006] In summary, current remote sensing extraction of periglacial landforms faces challenges such as unsustainable field surveys, pixel classification disrupting spatial structure, and deep learning lacking geoscientific logic. There is an urgent need for new methods that integrate geographical laws and multi-source data to solve the problem of high-precision, high-reliability, and high-efficiency extraction of periglacial landforms in cold regions. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a remote sensing classification method and device for periglacial landforms, which solves the technical problems of limited field surveys and insufficient hierarchical reasoning in existing object-oriented methods.

[0019] The low-lying, flat, sedimentary-erosional zone includes three secondary periglacial landform types: frost heave hills, freeze-thaw bare land, and thermocline collapse land.

[0022] If the elevation is between 4100 meters and 4300 meters, the average slope is between 20° and 35°, and the normalized vegetation index is between 0 and 0.1, it can be identified as the medium-slow slope soil transport-deposition development zone.

[0023] If the elevation is between 3900 meters and 4100 meters, the average slope is less than 20°, and the normalized vegetation index is between 0.1 and 0.4, it can be identified as the low-lying flat land sedimentary-erosion development zone.

[0024] The rest of the landforms are non-permafrost areas.

[0025] Preferably, the method for classifying the bedrock erosion-deposition development zone on steep slopes of permafrost mountains into the corresponding secondary periglacial landform type includes:

[0026] If the slope at the top of the slope is less than 8°, the texture entropy is greater than 5.0, the normalized water index is less than 0.3, and the normalized vegetation index is less than 0.1, it can be determined to be the so-called cold peneplain.

[0027] If the average slope is greater than 35°, the texture entropy is less than 2.0, and the aspect ratio is greater than 2, it can be determined to be the rock debris slope.

[0028] Preferably, the method for classifying the medium-slow slope soil transport-deposition development zone to the corresponding secondary periglacial landform type includes:

[0033] If the average curvature is less than -0.3, the normalized water index is greater than 0.3, or the variance of the internal normalized vegetation index is greater than 0.5, it can be determined to be the aforementioned thermocline collapse area;

[0034] If the average curvature is within ±0.1, the texture entropy is greater than 6.0, and the normalized vegetation index is less than 0.05, it can be determined as the frozen-thawed bare land.

[0035] Preferably, after performing radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction on the remote sensing image, the remote sensing image and DEM data are unified into the same coordinate system.

[0047] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0048] Unless otherwise expressly stated, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprising" or its variations such as "including" or "comprises" shall be understood to include the stated elements or components without excluding other elements or other components.

[0049] Example 1:

[0050] This embodiment provides a remote sensing classification method for periglacial landforms, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0051] S101: Establish remote sensing classification rules for periglacial landforms, and divide periglacial landforms into primary periglacial landform types and secondary periglacial landform types.

[0052] According to different scales, periglacial landforms are divided into two levels, and the inclusion relationship between the two levels of periglacial landform types is shown in Table 1.

[0053] Table 1 Classification of Periglacial Landforms

[0054]

[0055] In this first embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the classification criteria for primary periglacial landforms are as follows:

[0056] Steep slope bedrock erosion-deposition zone: The elevation is above 4300 meters, the slope is greater than 35°, the slope at the top is less than 8°, the main body is bedrock and weathered debris, and there is no vegetation cover.

[0057] Medium-slow slope soil transport-deposition development zone: elevation between 4100-4300 meters, slope between 20-35°, vegetation cover is generally good, normalized vegetation index (NDVI) is between 0 and 0.1.

[0058] Low-lying flat soil and rock deposition-erosion development zone: elevation between 3900-4100 meters, slope less than 20°, with good vegetation cover and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) between 0.1 and 0.4.

[0059] Wherein, slope = arctan(elevation difference / horizontal distance).

[0060] In this first embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, the classification criteria for secondary periglacial landforms are as follows:

[0061] Cold-formed peneplains: flat or undulating plateaus or terraces, usually large in area; with gentle slopes, typically <10°; appearing as a flat "top surface," resembling a platform or steps in a landscape profile. One side or perimeter often connects to a steep cliff, representing a remnant surface left after the mountain recedes.

[0062] Rock debris slope: A continuous, straight or slightly convex slope that usually extends down from the edge of a ridge or peneplain to the valley floor; the slope is relatively steep, usually between 25° and 35° (close to the natural angle of repose of the clastic material); it appears as a linear slope connecting a cliff and the valley floor, with the edge of the cliff or peneplain above and the valley floor or alluvial fan below.

[0063] Lithoglacial deposits: typically tongue-shaped or leaf-shaped with clear boundaries, often featuring an arc-shaped advancing edge. The morphology is complete, resembling a "fluid." Steep and clearly defined, the slope often approaches the angle of repose of the clastic material. The surface material is rough, with numerous boulders, resulting in very coarse textures and uneven color tones in images. Due to the difficulty in vegetation growth, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) value is low.

[0064] Creep-flowing soil slopes: These slopes are sheet-like, sheet-like, or strip-like, with relatively indistinct boundaries and a natural transition to the surrounding slopes. They are irregular in shape, with a gentle, transitional gradient and no obvious steep drops. The surface is relatively smooth, with more fine-grained material and a relatively uniform texture. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) values ​​may be uneven due to sparse vegetation.

[0065] Frost-heavy mounds: isolated, round or elliptical protrusions, or distributed in a beaded pattern. They appear as local high points in digital elevation models (DEMs) or through topographic relief analysis. The surface is relatively smooth, especially at the top. Due to favorable moisture conditions, meadows may grow, forming "grass mounds." With vegetation cover, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) value is higher; without vegetation cover, the spectrum is similar to that of the surrounding wetlands.

[0066] Freeze-thaw bare land: Large areas distributed in patches or strips, with an irregular but generally flat surface. There are no significant topographic reliefs; the surface may feel slightly rough due to disturbance, but there are no systematic protrusions or depressions. Extremely rough and fragmented, exhibiting a "honeycomb" or "spotted" pattern. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) value is extremely low (almost no vegetation), and its spectral characteristics are similar to bare soil and rock, with a lighter and brighter hue.

[0067] Thermal melt subsidence areas: These are circular, elliptical, or irregularly shaped depressions, often occurring in clusters. On a digital elevation model (DEM), they appear as localized depressions with distinct rims (slopes). The texture is complex, with significant differences between the interior and surrounding areas. The bottom of the depression may be filled with water (spectral characteristics resembling water) or have recovered vegetation (spectral characteristics resembling vegetation). Waterlogged depressions resemble water in spectrum and have high Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) values, while vegetated depressions show locally high Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values.

[0068] S102: Collect multi-source remote sensing images and digital elevation model data of various resolutions for the target area in the permafrost region, and perform radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction on the remote sensing images.

[0069] In this first embodiment, the remote sensing data comes from Gaofen-1 and Gaofen-2 optical imagery, both with a resolution better than 2 meters. The terrain data comes from ASTER GDEM V3, and the digital elevation model data has a resolution of 30 meters.

[0070] In this first embodiment, the collected raw data includes two core data types with different spatial resolutions. The optical remote sensing image uses a high-resolution data source with a resolution better than 2 meters, which can accurately capture the microscopic morphological details of secondary periglacial landforms, such as the circular outline of frost heaves, the tongue-shaped boundary of stony glaciers, and the pit edge structure of thermal melt collapses, providing a clear foundation for the extraction of texture and shape features. The digital elevation model (DEM) uses a medium-resolution data source of 30 meters to calculate the macroscopic topographic features of the target area, such as the overall elevation range and slope gradient distribution, providing key topographic basis for the division of primary periglacial landform development zones. The two achieve an organic combination of microscopic detail recognition and macroscopic range coverage through resolution synergy, providing comprehensive data support for subsequent hierarchical classification.

[0071] In this first embodiment, the remote sensing image is radiometrically calibrated and subjected to FLAASH atmospheric correction, and then unified with the DEM data to the CGCS 2000 coordinate system.

[0072] S103: Perform first-scale segmentation and second-scale segmentation on the processed data to generate two-level image object layers. The first-scale segmentation generates a first-level image object layer corresponding to the first-level periglacial landform type, and the second-scale segmentation generates a second-level image object layer corresponding to the second-level periglacial landform type.

[0073] In this first embodiment, multiple resolution segmentation algorithms are used in the eCognition Developer software. Near-infrared, short-wave infrared, and DEM data are assigned weights of over 20%.

[0074] In this first embodiment, the first-scale segmentation parameter is 200, used for segmenting primary periglacial landforms. The second-scale segmentation parameter is 60, used for segmenting secondary periglacial landforms. The segmentation scale parameter is the heterogeneity threshold used by the algorithm to determine whether adjacent pixels can be merged into a single image object. Heterogeneity represents the degree of difference in spectral, topographic, and other features between pixels: when the heterogeneity of adjacent pixels is lower than the parameter threshold, they will be aggregated into the same image object; when the heterogeneity is higher than the threshold, they will be divided into different objects. The value of the segmentation scale parameter is positively correlated with the size of the final generated image object: the larger the parameter value, the higher the allowed heterogeneity, the more pixels can be aggregated, and the larger the generated image object; the smaller the parameter value, the lower the allowed heterogeneity, the fewer pixels aggregated, and the smaller the generated image object. This can be implemented using conventional professional software, and will not be elaborated further in this first embodiment.

[0075] S104: Extract and analyze spectral and DEM-derived terrain features for each image object in the first-level image object layer and the second-level image object layer, and additionally extract and analyze texture and shape features for the image objects in the second-level image object layer.

[0076] In this first embodiment, the image object features include spectral features and DEM-derived terrain features, and the features of the secondary image object further include texture features and shape features.

[0077] Spectral characteristics: such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI).

[0078] Texture features: based on entropy and contrast of the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM).

[0079] Shape characteristics: area, length / width, compactness.

[0080] Topographic features: elevation, slope.

[0081] S105: Based on the remote sensing classification rules for periglacial landforms, the image objects in the first-level image object layer and the second-level image object layer are respectively classified into the corresponding first-level periglacial landform type and second-level periglacial landform type, completing the remote sensing classification of periglacial landforms in the target area and outputting the periglacial landform remote sensing classification map.

[0082] In this first embodiment, a hierarchical classification decision tree is constructed. The decision tree contains multiple hierarchical nodes, and each node corresponds to a classification rule based on object features. Through layer-by-layer discrimination, image objects are classified into different periglacial landform types. The decision tree logic is as follows:

[0083] If the elevation is greater than 4300 meters and the average slope is greater than 35°, it is a zone where bedrock erosion and deposition develop on steep slopes at the top of permafrost mountains.

[0084] If the elevation is between 4100 meters and 4300 meters and the average slope is between 20° and 35°, it is a gentle slope soil and rock transport and deposition development zone in the permafrost region;

[0085] If the elevation is between 3900 meters and 4100 meters and the average slope is less than 20°, it is considered a low-lying, flat, sedimentary-erosion zone in the permafrost region.

[0086] Otherwise, it is not a permafrost region.

[0087] For objects in the bedrock erosion-deposition development zone on steep mountain slopes:

[0088] If the slope at the top of the slope is less than 8°, the texture entropy is greater than 5.0, the NDWI is less than 0.3, and the NDVI is less than 0.1, then it is a cold-grown peneplain.

[0089] If the average slope is >35°, texture entropy is <2.0, aspect ratio is greater than 2, NDWI is <0.3, and NDVI is <0.1, it is a rock debris slope.

[0090] For objects in the soil and rock transport-deposition development zone on gentle slopes:

[0091] If the aspect ratio of an object in a medium-slow slope soil transport-deposition development zone is >2, the object compactness is <0.4, the average slope of the downstream boundary of the object is >30°, and the texture entropy is >4.0, it is considered a rock-glacial deposition surface;

[0092] If the texture entropy is <3.0 and the mean NDVI is >0.1, it is considered a creeping rock and soil slope.

[0093] For objects in low-lying, flat, sedimentary-erosion zones:

[0094] If the mean curvature is less than -0.3 and (mean NDWI > 0.3 OR internal NDVI variance > 0.5), it is a thermal fusion collapse land.

[0095] If the average curvature is close to 0, the texture entropy is >6.0, and the average NDVI is <0.05, it is considered a frozen-thawed bare land.

[0096] The variance of the normalized vegetation index within an object is calculated based on the image object generated by multi-scale segmentation, that is, the independent geographic unit corresponding to micro-landforms such as thermal collapse land. In this first embodiment, the normalized vegetation index value is first calculated pixel by pixel for the preprocessed remote sensing image, and then the normalized vegetation index data of all pixels within the boundary of the current image object to be analyzed are extracted, and the result is obtained through the statistical variance formula.

[0097] The core function of the normalized vegetation index variance within an object is to distinguish between waterlogged areas and vegetation restoration areas within a thermocline collapse site. The normalized vegetation index value is extremely low in the waterlogged areas within a thermocline collapse site, while it is relatively high in the vegetation restoration areas. When the difference in the normalized vegetation index value of a pixel is large, the variance will exceed 0.5, thereby enabling accurate identification of the landform of a thermocline collapse site.
