Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-concentration saline wastewater evaporation identification and monitoring technology, specifically a method for identifying and monitoring high-concentration saline wastewater evaporation ponds based on hyperspectral remote sensing. Background Technology

[0002] Evaporation ponds are facilities, either naturally or artificially constructed, that vaporize water in high-salt wastewater through natural evaporation or artificial heating, concentrating salt and impurities to ultimately form salt crystals or high-concentration salt solutions. According to the patent document, entitled "A Wastewater Pollution Monitoring Method and Device Based on Multispectral Imagery" (Patent Publication No.: CN115639159A, Patent Publication Date: 2023-01-24), the method includes: acquiring time-series multispectral remote sensing image data of the water area to be monitored, and using the 2SeaColor analytical model to invert each multispectral remote sensing image data in the time-series multispectral remote sensing image data to obtain the optical characteristic data of each multispectral remote sensing image data; calculating the wastewater pollution index of each multispectral remote sensing image data based on the optical characteristic data of each multispectral remote sensing image data; constructing a wastewater pollution index time series based on the wastewater pollution index of each multispectral remote sensing image data; and performing spatiotemporal pattern analysis on the wastewater pollution index time series to obtain the analysis results. The analysis results are used to characterize the water quality change trend of the water area to be monitored, thus solving the technical problem of poor applicability of existing wastewater pollution remote sensing monitoring algorithms.

[0003] Based on the descriptions in the aforementioned documents, existing traditional remote sensing methods have limited and discontinuous spectral bands, making it difficult to capture the subtle and unique spectral characteristics of high-concentration saline wastewater. This leads to easy confusion with ordinary water bodies, saline-alkali land, or other spectrally similar features during identification, resulting in misjudgments and missed detections, and insufficient reliability. Furthermore, traditional methods primarily focus on static identification and mapping, failing to achieve efficient and automated dynamic monitoring. Supervision often relies on manual comparison of images from different periods, and by the time an anomaly is detected, it is often too late, representing a passive, reactive approach with slow response times, unable to provide early warnings and risk prevention. Therefore, this invention provides a method for identifying and monitoring high-concentration saline wastewater evaporation ponds based on hyperspectral remote sensing. Summary of the Invention
