Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water sediment content inversion technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for inverting water sediment content based on satellite remote sensing images. Background Technology

[0002] Sediment content in water bodies is closely related to the biological processes of river ecosystems, the development of floodplains, and riverbed deposition, making it crucial for understanding changes in deposition and erosion within aquatic ecosystems. Traditional methods of measuring sediment content involve manually collecting water samples and measuring them in a laboratory. While this method offers high accuracy, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly, making it unsuitable for long-term, large-scale sediment monitoring. Satellite remote sensing technology, due to its non-contact and spatially continuous nature, offers unparalleled advantages for sediment monitoring in large watersheds.

[0003] Existing methods for retrieving water sediment concentration are often spatially limited and lack versatility. These models are highly dependent on training data and their generalizability is insufficient for areas without available data. For large-scale, complex water bodies, the optical signals of suspended sediment exhibit piecewise responses to concentration variations, meaning that water bodies with different sediment concentration ranges require separate inversion methods and cannot be treated uniformly. Therefore, a coupled inversion method applicable to multiple water body types is needed.

[0004] For large-scale, complex water bodies, existing optical classification methods mainly rely on thresholding and clustering. These methods are easily affected by atmospheric correction accuracy, sensor band settings, and observation conditions, resulting in numerous uncertainties and unstable classification results. Therefore, there is a need to propose a water body optical classification method that is suitable for complex water bodies and resistant to environmental interference.

[0005] To address the current issue of low accuracy in sediment concentration retrieval in complex water bodies, existing semi-analytical retrieval methods can improve this problem to some extent. These methods introduce the absorption coefficient *a* and backscattering coefficient *bbp* as intermediate variables. Relying on the analytical relationship of the water body radiative transfer equation, *a* and *bbp* are calculated from the remotely sensed reflectance *Rrs* above the water surface, and then the sediment concentration is extrapolated based on empirical relationships. However, existing semi-analytical methods have two problems: ① Most rely on the 443nm (nanometer) band, while wide-spectrum Landsat sensors such as Landsat 5 / 7 and the Environmental Series lack the 443nm band, making it impossible to calculate *a* and *bbp* using this method. ② Existing methods often use 555nm and 655nm as reference bands, and then extrapolate *bbp* to a longer band (such as 859nm) based on empirical formulas such as slope. This causes error propagation during the calculation process, resulting in low accuracy of the calculated *bbp* (859nm). Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, the technical solution of this invention mainly addresses the shortcomings of existing remote sensing inversion models for sediment content, such as limited applicable sensors and types of water bodies, low inversion accuracy, and low model versatility, thereby providing a method and device for inverting water sediment content based on satellite remote sensing images.

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for inverting water sediment content based on satellite remote sensing imagery, comprising:

[0008] Collect satellite remote sensing images of the water body to be measured, preprocess the satellite remote sensing images of the water body to be measured, and generate the remote sensing reflectance above the water surface;

[0009] Based on the remote sensing reflectance above the water surface, the measured water body is optically classified to generate Class I, Class II, Class III and Class IV water bodies;

[0010] Backscattering coefficients were inverted to determine the backscattering coefficients of the first type of water body, the second type of water body, the third type of water body, and the fourth type of water body.

[0011] The sediment content of the water body is generated by remote sensing inversion of the backscattering coefficients of the first, second, third and fourth types of water bodies.

[0012] This invention provides a method for inverting water sediment concentration based on satellite remote sensing imagery. The method employs a classification-based approach followed by inversion. Specifically, it performs rapid and effective optical classification of large-scale complex water bodies, then inverts the backscattering coefficients of different wavebands for each category, and finally calculates the final sediment concentration from these backscattering coefficients. The rapid and effective optical classification of large-scale complex water bodies is highly universal, with a simple process, and effectively classifies the complex water bodies (i.e., the measured water bodies) into four types with different sediment concentration ranges. Furthermore, the method of inverting the backscattering coefficients of different wavebands for different categories of water bodies solves the problems of "reliance on the 443nm waveband" and "low accuracy of inversion results in the 859nm waveband" in existing technologies, effectively achieving high-precision backscattering coefficient inversion across different reference wavebands. Finally, considering the complex optical characteristics of water bodies, a multi-water-body-type coupled inversion method addresses the problem of spectral segmentation response under different sediment concentration ranges, making the sediment concentration remote sensing inversion model more robust.

[0057] This invention provides a method for inverting water sediment content based on satellite remote sensing imagery, such as... Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes:

[0058] S101. Collect satellite remote sensing images of the water body to be measured, preprocess the satellite remote sensing images of the water body to be measured, and generate the remote sensing reflectance above the water surface.

[0059] Specifically, the remote sensing reflectance above the water surface includes: remote sensing reflectance in the blue light band, remote sensing reflectance in the green light band, remote sensing reflectance in the red light band, and remote sensing reflectance in the near-infrared band.

[0060] Furthermore, image preprocessing work is carried out on the satellite remote sensing images of the water body being measured, including cloud masking, atmospheric correction, flare masking, water body extraction, and remote sensing reflectance calculation.

[0061] S102. Based on the remote sensing reflectance above the water surface, perform optical classification of the measured water body to generate Class I water body, Class II water body, Class III water body and Class IV water body.

[0062] S103. Perform backscattering coefficient inversion on the remote sensing reflectance above the water surface to determine the backscattering coefficients of the first type of water body, the second type of water body, the third type of water body, and the fourth type of water body.

[0063] Specifically, the backscattering coefficients at 555nm, 655nm, and 859nm were calculated using the three-color optical level analysis method (QAA-RGB), the improved three-color optical level analysis method including QAA-RGB-Modified (QRM), and the QAA-z859 method.

[0064] S104. Perform remote sensing inversion of sediment content on the backscattering coefficients of the first type of water body, the second type of water body, the third type of water body, and the fourth type of water body to generate the sediment content of the water body.

[0065] Specifically, for each type of water body after optical classification, remote sensing inversion of sediment content is performed to generate the water body sediment content; among them, the calculation formula for the water body sediment content SS1 of the first type of water body is as follows:

[0066] SS1 = 0.01 * 346.09 * bpp555 (1)

[0067] In the above formula, bbb555 represents the backscattering coefficient of the first type of water body.

[0068] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the sediment content SS2 of the second type of water body is as follows:

[0069] SS2 = -0.54 * 23.18 * bpp655 0.66 (2)

[0070] In the above formula, bbb655 represents the backscattering coefficient of the second type of water body (or the backscattering coefficient of the third type of water body).

[0071] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the sediment content (SS3) of Class III water bodies is as follows:

[0075] In the above formula, bbb859 represents the backscattering coefficient of the fourth type of water body.

[0076] This embodiment proposes a method for inverting water sediment concentration based on satellite remote sensing imagery. It employs a method of first classifying the water body before inverting the concentration. Specifically, it performs rapid and effective optical classification of large-scale complex water bodies, then inverts the backscattering coefficients of different wavebands for different water body categories, and finally calculates the final sediment concentration from the backscattering coefficients. The rapid and effective optical classification of large-scale complex water bodies has high universality, a simple process, and effectively classifies complex water bodies (i.e., the water body being measured) into four types with different sediment concentration ranges. Furthermore, the method of inverting the backscattering coefficients of different wavebands for different water body categories solves the problems of "reliance on the 443nm waveband" and "low accuracy of inversion results in the 859nm waveband" in existing technologies, effectively achieving high-precision backscattering coefficient inversion across different reference wavebands. Finally, as... Figure 3 As shown, the multi-water-body-type coupled inversion method addresses the problem of spectral segmented response under different sediment concentration ranges, thus making the sediment concentration remote sensing inversion model more robust, in response to the complex optical properties of water bodies.

[0077] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, S101 above, which involves preprocessing the satellite remote sensing image of the water body to generate the remote sensing reflectance above the water surface, includes:

[0078] S1011. Perform cloud masking, atmospheric correction, flare masking, and water extraction on the above-mentioned satellite remote sensing images to determine the top atmospheric radiance, correction parameters, direct solar irradiance, and diffuse sky irradiance.

[0079] Specifically, cloud masking is performed using the image's own quality control bands; atmospheric correction employs the 6S (The Second Simulation of Satellite Signal in the Solar Spectrum) method, a theoretical model for atmospheric transmission, with required parameters obtained from empirical knowledge, image parameters, and synchronously observed MODIS (Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) images; for example, aerosol types are selected from continental, urban, combustible, and marine types based on actual conditions; aerosol optical thickness is obtained from synchronously observed MCD19A2 (a Level 2 product of the land aerosol optical depth grid) and MOD08 products (a Level 3 standard atmospheric data product, containing raster atmospheric products with a 1 km spatial resolution); water vapor column concentration is obtained from the National Center for Environmental Forecasting-National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP-NCAR); and elevation data is obtained from the Digital Elevation Dataset, etc.

[0080] Furthermore, the flare masking process includes: comparing the flare index of the flare region with a set threshold (usually -0.5), and then removing the flare region based on the comparison result. The flare region is calculated using the flare index (SGI) formula shown below:

[0081]

[0082] In the above formula, B7 and B3 are the atmospheric top radiance values ​​of the seventh and third bands, respectively. The Landsat 8 band setting is used as an example here. For other sensors, it can be changed to the band near 2000nm and the green light band, respectively.

[0083] Furthermore, the water body extent is extracted using the modified normalized interpolated water body index (Equation 2), wherein the calculation formula for the modified normalized interpolated water body index MNDWI is as follows:

[0084] MNDWI=(B Green -B MIR ) / (B Green +B MIR (6)

[0085] Among them, B Green and B MIR These represent the water surface remote sensing reflectance in the green light band and the mid-infrared band, respectively.

Obtain the air-water interface reflectance and direct solar irradiance, and calculate the remote sensing reflectance above the water surface based on the above-mentioned atmospheric top radiance value, the above-mentioned correction parameters, the above-mentioned direct solar irradiance, the above-mentioned diffuse sky irradiance and the above-mentioned air-water interface reflectance.

[0087] Specifically, the formula for calculating the remote sensing reflectance Rrs above the water surface is as follows:

[0088]

[0089] In the above formula, r sky E represents the air-water interface reflectance, taken as 0.0245. dir E represents direct solar irradiance. dif Let ρ be the diffuse irradiance of the sky, and ρ be the surface reflectance. The formula for calculating the surface reflectance ρ is as follows:

[0090]

[0091] In the above formula, L is the radiance of the top atmosphere, and x a x b x c These are the correction parameters obtained after 6S atmospheric correction.

[0092] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, S102 above refers to the optical classification of the measured water body based on the remote sensing reflectance above the water surface, generating Class I, Class II, Class III, and Class IV water bodies, including:

Calculate the first stimulus value, the second stimulus value, and the third stimulus value based on the above-mentioned blue light band remote sensing reflectance, the above-mentioned green light band remote sensing reflectance, the above-mentioned red light band remote sensing reflectance, and the above-mentioned near-infrared band remote sensing reflectance, respectively.

[0094] Specifically, the formula for calculating the first stimulus value X is as follows:

[0095] X = 11.053 * Rrs b1 +6.950*Rrs b2 +51.135*Rrs b3 +34.457*Rrs b4 (9)

[0096] In the above formula, Rrs b1 Rrs represents the remote sensing reflectance in the blue light band. b2 Rrs represents the remote sensing reflectance in the green light band. b3 Rrs represents the remote sensing reflectance in the red band. b4 This indicates the reflectance of near-infrared remote sensing.

[0097] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the second stimulus value Y is as follows:

[0098] Y = 1.320 * Rrs b1 +21.053*Rrs b2 +66.023*Rrs b3 +18.034*Rrs b4 (10)

[0099] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the third stimulus value Z is as follows:

[0100] Z = 58.038 * Rrs b1 +34.931*Rrs b2 +2.606*Rrs b3 +0.016*Rrs b4 (11)

[0101] S1022. Determine the chromaticity angle based on the first stimulus value, the second stimulus value, and the third stimulus value.

[0102] Specifically, the chromaticity coordinates (x, y) are calculated based on the first stimulus value X, the second stimulus value Y, and the third stimulus value Z, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0103] x=X / (X+Y+Z) (12)

[0104] y = Y / (X + Y + Z) (13)

[0105] Furthermore, the chromaticity angle α is calculated based on the chromaticity coordinates (x, y). The formula for calculating α is as follows:

[0106]

[0107] S1023. Based on the above chromaticity angles, the Freyr color index is determined using a lookup table.

[0108] Specifically, the FUI index (i.e., the Flyre color index) corresponding to the chromaticity angle α is found using the FUI-α lookup table, which is shown in Table 1 below:

[0109] Table 1:

[0110]

[0111]

[0112] S1024. Compare the above-mentioned Freyr color index with the preset threshold, and based on the comparison result, classify the water body to be tested into the above-mentioned Class I water body, Class II water body, Class III water body and Class IV water body.

[0113] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the water bodies to be measured are divided into four categories according to FUI: Category I (FUI < 7), Category II (7 ≤ FUI ≤ 14 and Rrs483 > Rrs655), Category III (7 ≤ FUI ≤ 14 and Rrs483 < Rrs655), and Category IV (FUI ≥ 15). Here, Rrs483 represents the remote sensing reflectance in the 483nm band (i.e., the blue light band), and Rrs655 represents the remote sensing reflectance in the 655nm band (i.e., the red light band). Figure 6 SPM indicates the sand content, with the unit being mg / L (milligrams per liter).

[0114] In the above optional embodiments, the selected FUI inversion factor reasonably characterizes the water color and has a high correlation with the sediment content in the water. It can effectively classify the water body into four types with different sediment content ranges. Moreover, the FUI index has the ability to resist atmospheric interference and sensor observation geometry and is less affected by external conditions. It is the preferred classification index in sediment content remote sensing observation.

[0122] S10312. Obtain calibration coefficients, and determine the backscattering albedo of the different wavebands based on the calibration coefficients and the remote sensing reflectance below the water surface.

[0123] Specifically, the formulas for calculating the backscattering albedo u in different wavebands are as follows:

[0124]

[0125] In the above formula, g0 and g1 represent calibration coefficients, where g0 is 0.089 and g1 is 0.125.

[0126] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 9As shown, S1032 above, which calculates the backscattering coefficients of the first type of water body, the second type of water body, the third type of water body, and the fourth type of water body based on the remote sensing reflectance of the blue light band, the green light band, the red light band, the near-infrared band, and the backscattering albedo of the different bands, includes:
