Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for enhancing the spatial details of land surface temperature in the thermal infrared band of remote sensing, and particularly to a method for downscaling the spatial land surface temperature that follows the law of land surface radiation energy balance. Background Art

[0002] As one of the most important variables in land surface processes, land surface temperature is an important indicator for characterizing land surface energy budget, land-atmosphere energy exchange, land-atmosphere water and heat exchange, and climate change research. Monitoring the land surface temperature at the regional or global scale in the thermal infrared band of remote sensing based on Planck's law is currently the only feasible means. However, due to the relatively large instantaneous field of view of satellite thermal infrared band payloads, the spatial resolution of the land surface temperature retrieved in the thermal infrared band is often lower than that of visible light payloads. Therefore, how to improve the spatial resolution of the land surface temperature in the thermal infrared band has become a research hotspot in the fields of thermal infrared remote sensing applications, data fusion, data analysis, etc. How to conveniently, quickly, and accurately obtain the land surface temperature over a large area with high precision has become a technical problem in dealing with issues such as climate warming, environmental degradation, and ecological health.

[0003] Using visible light band information to enrich the spatial details of land surface temperature in the thermal infrared band is an important approach. Currently, the methods based on this idea are mainly divided into three categories: statistical, modulation allocation, and spectral mixture models. The statistical method assumes that "the relationship spatial scale is invariant" and applies the statistical relationship between low-spatial-resolution land surface temperature and the regression kernel to high spatial resolution. However, due to the strong spatial heterogeneity of land surface temperature, "the relationship spatial scale is invariant" is basically not satisfied in practice. Modulation allocation distributes the land surface temperature in the thermal infrared band to each sub-pixel according to a certain proportion, and the distribution factors include the panchromatic band, emissivity, land surface temperature of other sensors in the same season, etc. However, this method cannot cover the change rate of land surface temperature with respect to the distribution factors. The spectral mixture model directly correlates high- and low-spatial-resolution land surface temperatures based on linear spectral mixture, and then regresses to solve the high-spatial-resolution land surface temperature. However, this method cannot distinguish the difference between the relationship between land surface temperature in the thermal infrared band and high-spatial-resolution information. These three categories of methods usually ignore the clear physical background and quantitative requirements of thermal infrared remote sensing, and cannot guarantee the consistency of radiation energy before and after downscaling the spatial land surface temperature in the thermal infrared band.

[0004] The limitations of the above three categories of methods are mainly due to the lack of pertinence in solving the relationship between land surface temperature in the thermal infrared band and the land surface temperature after spatial downscaling, and the insufficient consideration of the differences in the variation laws of land surface temperature in different environments. In order to fully explore the connection methods between different spatial scales of land surface temperature in the thermal infrared band by means of visible light band information, to reveal the local differentiation law of land surface temperature with environmental changes by combining different wavelength electromagnetic spectrum information, and to enhance the clarity of land surface temperature in the thermal infrared band, a method for downscaling the spatial land surface temperature with radiation balance is invented.
