Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of waterlogging risk assessment, and in particular to a method for rapid waterlogging risk assessment based on terrain smoothing. Background Art

[0002] Effective and rapid urban flooding risk assessment and automated extraction of flood risk targets are crucial for early warning and assessment of urban flooding disasters. Traditional urban flooding simulations typically employ hydrological and hydrodynamic methods, comprehensively considering the impact between drainage networks and river channels, incorporating extensive underlying surface information and numerous model parameters. These methods are also time-consuming and expensive to calculate. Therefore, currently, urban flooding simulations integrated with drainage networks are suitable for detailed, small-scale flooding analysis. However, large-scale, city-level flooding analysis and assessment require rapid and efficient response times and large-scale flooding risk calculations. In many plains, the height of inland river levees is equal to the height of the land. During floods, not only is the river flow connected, but it can be assumed that the flow is connected across the entire plain area. This allows for spatial interpolation of river water levels to generate the inundation range for the entire plain. The plain area has a gentle terrain, and the combination of water level and spatial interpolation technology has strong applicability, but misjudgments still occur, including local areas being judged as flood risk areas when no floods occur, and a small number of low-lying areas being identified as flood risk areas. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and method for rapid assessment of urban flooding risk based on smooth terrain, so as to solve the technical problem of misjudgment of urban flooding risk in underground low-lying areas existing in the prior art.

[0005] Furthermore, the monitoring area is a plain area, and the water flow in the entire plain area is connected.

[0006] Furthermore, the S1 specifically includes the following steps: S11. Acquire high-precision digital elevation model data, inland river channel vector data, and inland river water level monitoring station data of the monitoring area, and make them have the same spatial coordinate system; S12. Select embankment points on the inland river embankment near the inland river water level monitoring point to obtain elevation data of the embankment points; S13. Perform spatial interpolation calculation on the embankment points to obtain embankment surface data, and set the embankment surface as the starting water level surface during the flooding process; S14. Spatially superimpose the starting water level surface and the high-precision digital elevation model data, compare the elevation values ​​of the starting water level surface and the high-precision digital elevation model data, retain the larger elevation value of the two, and generate a virtual terrain. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0007]

[0008] Among them, H vt is the elevation value of the virtual terrain, H s is the elevation of the starting water level, H dem It is the elevation value of the high-precision digital elevation model data.

[0009] Furthermore, the specific steps of S2 for obtaining the water level surface data of the monitoring area include: S21. Obtaining the inland river water level monitoring point data and the elevation data of the embankment points in S12, and making them have the same spatial coordinate system; S22. Comparing the sizes of all the inland river water level monitoring point data and the corresponding embankment point elevation data in the monitoring area. If the former are greater than the latter, proceed to step S23; otherwise, it is judged that there is no flooding risk in the monitoring area; S23. Performing spatial interpolation on the inland river water level monitoring point data to generate flooding surface data of the monitoring area.

[0010] Furthermore, the specific steps of S3 include: S31. Obtaining water level surface data of the monitoring area, placing it in the same spatial coordinate system as the virtual terrain, and making the grid sizes of the two surface data the same and spatially matched, and performing spatial overlay analysis; S32. Calculating the submerged water depth value of each grid, the calculation formula is as follows:

[0011]

[0012] Among them, D is the submerged water depth data, H wl Water level data of the water level surface, H vt The elevation value of the virtual terrain,

[0013] The monitoring area with flooding depth value greater than zero constitutes the flooding surface of the monitoring area.

[0014] Furthermore, the specific steps of S4 include: S41. Obtaining the surface vector data of the spatial object of the underlying surface and placing it in the same spatial coordinate system as the virtual terrain; S42. Determining whether the spatial object and the flooded surface of the monitoring area intersect in space. If so, determining that the spatial object is a waterlogging risk object.

[0015] The present invention provides a rapid assessment method for urban flooding risk based on terrain smoothing. By utilizing the strong autocorrelation of water levels in plain areas during floods, the method uses inland river water levels and high-precision digital elevation models (DEMs) to construct an assessment method for urban flooding risk based on terrain smoothing. This method can effectively provide early warning and prediction for urban flooding risks, solves the technical problem of misjudgment of urban flooding risks in underground low-lying areas in the existing technology, and can quickly calculate the flooded range, flooded water depth, and risk objects.

[0022] This embodiment provides a method for rapid assessment of waterlogging risk based on terrain smoothing, which uses water level monitoring data and a high-precision digital elevation model (DEM) to quickly assess waterlogging risk in plain areas. The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0023] S1. Use the inverse distance weighted (IDW) spatial interpolation technique to interpolate the levee elevation points to generate a starting water level surface. Combine the starting water level surface with high-precision DEM data to smooth the DEM and generate a virtual terrain. The specific steps include the following:

[0024] Step S11. Obtain DEM data for the plain area, such as 2m*2m DEM data based on drone aerial photography, inland river vector data, and inland river water level monitoring station data, and make them have the same spatial coordinate system;

[0025] Step S12. Combine the inland river vector data and high-precision remote sensing image data to select points on the inland river embankment. The points are evenly distributed in the entire plain area and ensure that the embankments near the inland river water level monitoring stations are included. The number of points must meet the spatial interpolation requirements. Combined with the high-precision DEM data, the elevation data of the embankment points are obtained, such as Figure 2 The figure shows the spatial relationship between water level monitoring points, embankment points and inland river channels.

[0026] Step S13: Perform IDW spatial interpolation calculation on the embankment points to obtain embankment surface data, assuming that the embankment surface is the starting water level surface during the flooding process.

[0027] Step S14: Spatially overlay the starting water level surface and the high-precision DEM data. When comparing the elevation values ​​of the starting water level surface and the high-precision DEM, retain the larger elevation value of the two to generate a virtual terrain.

[0028] The calculation formula is as follows:

[0029]

[0030] Among them, H vt is the elevation value of the virtual terrain, H s is the elevation of the starting water level, H dem It is the elevation value of high-precision DEM.

[0031] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of spatial comparison of starting water level, DEM data and virtual terrain.

[0032] S2. Perform IDW spatial interpolation calculation on the inland river water level monitoring point data to obtain the water level surface data of the plain area, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0033] Step S21. Acquire the inland river water level monitoring point data and the levee elevation data near the water level monitoring site extracted in step S12, and make them have the same spatial coordinate system as other data;

[0034] Step S22: Compare the data of all inland river water level monitoring points with the levee elevation data near the corresponding water level stations. If the former are greater than the latter, proceed to step S23; otherwise, determine that there is no flooding risk.

[0035] Step S23. Taking the plain area as the boundary, perform spatial interpolation on the inland river water level monitoring point data to generate the water level data of the monitoring area water level surface (H wl ).

[0036] S3. Perform spatial overlay analysis on the plain area water level surface data and virtual terrain to generate the plain area inundation surface and inundation depth, specifically including the following steps:

[0037] S31. According to the needs, obtain the real-time monitoring surface data of the water level in the plain area, and make the spatial overlay analysis of the water level surface data in the plain area and the virtual terrain be placed in the same spatial coordinate system, and the surface data grid size is the same and the space is matched.

[0038] S32. Calculate the flooding depth value for each grid, that is, subtract the elevation value of the virtual terrain from the water level data of the water level surface. If the former is greater than the latter, the area is at risk of flooding. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0039]

[0040] Among them, D is the submerged water depth data, H wl Water level data of the water level surface, H vt The elevation value of the virtual terrain.

[0041] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram comparing water level data, virtual terrain, inundation range, and water depth. The monitoring area with inundation depth values ​​greater than zero constitutes the plain area inundation surface.

[0042] S4. Rapidly identify flood risk areas based on information on the inundation area, inundation depth, and underlying surface in the plain area. This includes the following steps:

[0043] S41. Obtain surface vector data for the underlying surface of spatial objects such as hazardous chemical enterprises, residential areas, shopping malls, agricultural and forestry land, and villages, and place them in the same spatial coordinate system as other data such as virtual terrain. The elevation of most spatial objects should be higher than the starting water surface, while the elevation of spatial objects in low-lying areas should be lower than the starting water surface.

[0044] S42. Determine whether the spatial object and the flooded surface intersect in space. If so, determine that the spatial object is an object with a risk of urban flooding. Otherwise, determine that there is no risk of urban flooding.
