Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of marine remote sensing, and particularly relates to a sea ice roughness inversion method based on an integrated learning method and a two-dimensional wavelet transform. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sea ice roughness is an important factor affecting sea-air energy exchange and plays an important role in the Arctic climate system. Therefore, it is very important to invent an accurate high-resolution sea ice roughness inversion method. Although traditional field observation and airborne LiDAR observation can accurately obtain the elevation information of sea ice and thus calculate the relatively accurate sea ice roughness, the two methods have small spatial coverage and are scattered in distribution; they are restricted by the harsh weather in the polar region and cannot achieve all-time and all-weather observation; and both of them are very labor and material intensive. Satellite remote sensing (such as synthetic aperture radar) can obtain large-area and high-temporal and spatial resolution sea ice backscattering images. However, it is difficult to invert the sea ice roughness by a trivial linear regression model only from the backscattering coefficient. Therefore, the application combines SAR images (Sentinel-1 data) and airborne radar elevation data (OIB ATM L2 data) to invert the sea ice roughness.

[0003] There are mainly two ways to invert the sea ice roughness. The first way is to use the multi-angle reflection information obtained by different cameras in the multi-angle imaging spectrometer (MISR) [2] to calculate the normalized difference angle index (NDAI), and then use a certain empirical algorithm to establish the relationship between NDAI and sea ice roughness. Common empirical algorithms include K-nearest neighbor (KNN) regression algorithm, support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, etc. Although this method can obtain high-resolution (275m x 275m) sea ice roughness and is relatively simple to operate, the error of the inverted roughness is very large. Moreover, this method needs to use an entire ATM product to calculate the roughness of the entire product, and this calculation method often ignores the small-scale roughness changes within the ATM product.

[0004] The second way is to use the backscattering coefficient data of each pixel point of the SAR image to invert the sea ice roughness through the theoretical backscattering model of sea ice (such as IEM model) [3]. Compared with the first method, this method can obtain higher-resolution sea ice roughness (depending on the resolution of the SAR image pixel) and the backscattering coefficient calculated from the inverted roughness is closer to the backscattering coefficient of the SAR image itself. However, this method is very difficult to implement and has high program time complexity, and it is difficult to apply to large-area inversion.

[0005] Both methods are based on the statistical relationship between the roughness and the parameters directly measured by different sensors. However, the spatial distribution information of sea ice features is not considered in the construction of the model, and the spatial information of sea ice features can be obtained from high-resolution SAR images. Therefore, it has become a technical problem to be solved in the technical field to invent a simple and easy method for retrieving the roughness of Arctic sea ice to solve the problem of low accuracy and low resolution of the roughness retrieval in the prior art.
