Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of satellite remote sensing monitoring of the growth status of surface vegetation, specifically, to a method and system for monitoring vegetation growth status based on the spatial variability of vegetation cover. Background Technology

[0002] Vegetation is defined as the vegetation community covering a specific area of ​​the Earth's surface. It is a crucial component of terrestrial ecosystems and plays a vital role as an indicator of climate change within the context of global climate change. Vegetation cover refers to the percentage of the total area covered by vegetation in a given region, primarily reflecting the distribution of vegetation on the ground surface. Influenced by factors such as regional climate and human activities, it is a key indicator for measuring changes in the regional ecological environment. Therefore, studying the spatiotemporal trends of vegetation cover is of great significance for regional ecological environment monitoring, assessment, protection, restoration, and maintaining the relationship between ecological protection and socio-economic development. Satellite remote sensing observations offer advantages such as wide observation range, high reliability, and abundant data products, providing suitable data sources for analyzing vegetation growth status and facilitating the monitoring of regional vegetation cover distribution characteristics and changes.

[0003] Current methods for monitoring vegetation growth status mainly utilize long-term satellite remote sensing data to analyze the spatial distribution characteristics and trends of vegetation cover in a certain observation area. The research objects are mostly focused on the spatiotemporal variation trends of statistical features on long-term pixels, but little attention is paid to the differences in vegetation growth status between the current observation pixel and neighboring pixels, making it impossible to accurately obtain the changing trends of different vegetation cover boundary areas within the observation area.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method and system for monitoring vegetation growth status based on the spatial variability of vegetation cover, so as to effectively monitor the vegetation growth status, especially for monitoring the status changes of different vegetation cover boundary areas.

[0068] Module M1: Acquires multi-temporal normalized vegetation index data and pixel location information of the observation area; the multi-temporal normalized vegetation index data are remote sensing data at the current time and before this time, and the observation areas of the remote sensing data have overlapping parts, specifically including normalized vegetation index data and pixel location information;

[0076] Module M5: Utilize the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the multi-temporal region to obtain the statistical distribution curve of the spatial variability of vegetation cover, compare the characteristics of the statistical distribution curve, and then determine the changes in vegetation growth status.

[0077] Module M5.1: Utilize the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the overlapping observation area to statistically analyze the probability density distribution characteristics of the spatial variability of vegetation cover in all pixels within the area, and obtain the statistical distribution curve of the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the overlapping observation area.

[0078] Module M5.2: By using the multi-temporal vegetation cover spatial variability statistical distribution curve, the differences between the statistical distribution curves are compared, thereby determining the changes in vegetation growth status.

[0079] Example 3:

[0080] This invention acquires multi-temporal normalized vegetation index (NVR) data and pixel location information of the observation area based on satellite observations; calculates multi-temporal vegetation cover in the observation area using the NVR; calculates the spatial variability of vegetation cover using the vegetation cover data; performs pixel matching and overlapping region extraction on the multi-temporal vegetation cover spatial variability distribution image of the observation area; obtains the statistical distribution curve of multi-temporal vegetation cover spatial variability in the overlapping observation area, and thus determines the changes in vegetation growth status in the observation area.

[0081] According to the present invention, a method for monitoring vegetation growth status based on spatial variability of vegetation cover is provided, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0082] Step S1: Obtain multi-temporal normalized vegetation index data and pixel location information of the observation area. The multi-temporal data consists of remote sensing data at the current time and data prior to this time. The observation areas of the remote sensing data have overlapping parts.

[0083] Step S2: Calculate the multi-temporal vegetation cover of the observation area using the normalized vegetation index (NVI) data. Specifically, the vegetation cover is calculated using the multi-temporal NVI of the observation area based on a pixel-based binary model, using the following formula:

[0084]

[0085] Where FVC represents vegetation cover, and NDVI represents the normalized vegetation index of pixels within the observation area, NDVI soil NDVI represents the non-vegetation endmember. veg The NDVI representing vegetation endmembers is generally selected from the 5% and 95% values ​​of the cumulative NDVI frequency in the observation area as the corresponding NDVI values. soil and NDVI veg Substitute the values ​​into the formula to perform the calculation.

[0086] Step S3: Calculate the spatial variability of vegetation cover using the vegetation cover data. Combining the vegetation growth status of neighboring pixels, the spatial variability of vegetation cover is defined as the ratio of the average difference in vegetation cover between the current pixel and its eight neighboring pixels to the current pixel's vegetation cover. The spatial variability of vegetation cover in the observation area is then calculated. Specifically, a pixel location is marked as (i, j), where i represents the row number in the image and j represents the column number. The eight neighboring points around the current pixel, denoted as A1 to A8, have pixel locations in the remote sensing image as (i-1, j), (i+1, j), (i, j-1), (i, j+1), (i-1, j-1), (i-1, j+1), (i+1, j-1), (i+1, j+1). The spatial variability of vegetation cover for the current pixel can be calculated using the following formula:

[0087]

[0088] Among them, IF i,j FVC represents the spatial variability of pixel vegetation cover. i,j This represents the vegetation cover of a pixel, where n is 8 and m ranges from 1 to 8. It indicates the processing of the current pixel's 8 neighboring pixels, FVC. m This indicates the vegetation cover of neighboring pixels.

[0089] Step S4: Perform pixel matching and overlapping region extraction on the multi-temporal spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover in the observation area. Step S4 includes the following sub-steps:

[0090] Step S4.1: For the multi-temporal vegetation cover spatial variability distribution image of the observation area, using the pixel position in the current time's vegetation cover spatial variability distribution image as the standard, mark a certain pixel position as (i, j), where i represents the row number in the image and j represents the column number. Use the inverse distance weighting method to match the pixel in the previous time's vegetation cover spatial variability distribution image to this position, obtaining a multi-temporal vegetation cover spatial variability distribution image with pixel matching. Specifically, for the four neighboring points distributed around the current time's pixel position in the previous time's vegetation cover spatial variability distribution image, denoted as A1, A2, A3, and A4, the distances between these points and the standard pixel are marked as l1, l2, l3, and l4. The vegetation cover spatial variability at the matched pixel in the previous time can be calculated using the following formula:

[0091]

[0092] Among them, w n This represents the inverse distance weighting factor of the four pixels surrounding the standard pixel, where n ranges from 1 to 4, indicating that the values ​​of the four pixels closest to the standard pixel are selected for calculation. nThis indicates the distance from the standard pixel.

[0093]

[0094] Among them, IF i,j w represents the spatial variability of vegetation cover in a pixel in the spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover at the previous time that matches the pixel in the spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover at the current time. n This represents the inverse distance weighting factor of the four pixels surrounding the standard pixel, where n ranges from 1 to 4. IF n This represents the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the pixel closest to the standard pixel.

[0095] Step S4.2: Using the multi-temporal pixel-matched spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover, overlapping images of the same observation area can be obtained. By comparing the edge pixel positions of the multi-temporal spatial variability distribution images of vegetation cover, the overlapping part of the image is selected, and the rest is removed to obtain the multi-temporal pixel-matched spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover in the overlapping area.

[0096] Step S5: Using the multi-temporal spatial variability of vegetation cover in the overlapping observation area, obtain the statistical distribution curve of the spatial variability of vegetation cover, compare the characteristics of the statistical distribution curves, and then determine the changes in vegetation growth status. Step S5 includes the following sub-steps:

[0097] Step S5.1: Using the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the overlapping observation area, statistically analyze the probability density distribution characteristics of the spatial variability of vegetation cover in all pixels within the area to obtain the statistical distribution curve of the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the overlapping observation area.

[0098] Step S5.2: Using the multi-temporal vegetation cover spatial variability statistical distribution curves, compare the differences between the statistical distribution curves. These differences include the probability changes in the distribution of vegetation cover spatial variability across different intervals. According to the definition of vegetation cover spatial variability, a negative value indicates that the vegetation cover of the pixel is worse than the surrounding area; a positive value indicates that the vegetation cover of the pixel is better than the surrounding area. The larger the absolute value, the more significant the difference in vegetation cover status between the current pixel and its neighboring area, indicating a greater difference in vegetation growth status, and vice versa. Therefore, the probability changes in vegetation cover spatial variability across different intervals can illustrate the differences in vegetation growth status within the observation area, especially the changes in vegetation growth status at different vegetation cover boundary areas, thereby determining the changes in vegetation growth status.

[0099] Furthermore, in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 6 The vegetation growth status monitoring method based on the spatial variability of vegetation cover of the present invention is described in detail below:

[0100] Multi-temporal normalized vegetation index (NVR) data and pixel location information of the observation area were acquired through satellite observation. The multi-temporal data consisted of remote sensing data from the current time and previous times, with overlapping observation areas. The NVR distribution of the two satellite observation scenes is shown below. Figure 2 As shown.

[0101] Using the normalized vegetation index data, the vegetation cover of the observation area in multiple time phases was calculated. Based on the pixel-based binary model, the calculation formula is as follows:

[0102]

[0103] Where FVC represents vegetation cover, and NDVI represents the normalized vegetation index of pixels within the observation area, NDVI soil NDVI represents the non-vegetation endmember. veg The NDVI representing vegetation endmembers is generally selected from the 5% and 95% values ​​of the cumulative NDVI frequency in the observation area as the corresponding NDVI values. soil and NDVI veg Substitute the values ​​into the formula for calculation. The vegetation cover distribution of the two scenes observed by the satellite is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0104] Using the vegetation cover data, the spatial variability of vegetation cover is calculated. Combining the vegetation growth status of neighboring pixels, the spatial variability of vegetation cover is defined as the ratio of the average difference in vegetation cover between the current pixel and its eight neighboring pixels to the current pixel's vegetation cover. This allows for the calculation of the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the observed area. Specifically, a pixel location is marked as (i, j), where i represents the row number and j represents the column number in the image. The eight neighboring points around the current pixel, denoted as A1 to A8, have pixel locations in the remote sensing image of (i-1, j), (i+1, j), (i, j-1), (i, j+1), (i-1, j-1), (i-1, j+1), (i+1, j-1), (i+1, j+1). The spatial variability of vegetation cover for the current pixel can then be calculated using the following formula:

[0105]

[0106] Among them, IF i,j FVC represents the spatial variability of pixel vegetation cover. i,j This represents the vegetation cover of a pixel, where n is 8 and m ranges from 1 to 8. It indicates the processing of the current pixel's 8 neighboring pixels, FVC. m This represents the vegetation cover of neighboring pixels. The spatial variability distribution of vegetation cover in two satellite-observed scenes is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.

[0107] For the multi-temporal spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover in the observation area, using the pixel position in the current time's spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover as the standard, a certain pixel position is marked as (i, j), where i represents the row number in the image and j represents the column number. The inverse distance weighting method is used to match the pixel in the previous time's spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover to this position, resulting in a multi-temporal spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover with pixel matching. Specifically, for the four neighboring points distributed around the current time's pixel position in the previous time's spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover, denoted as A1, A2, A3, and A4, the distances between these points and the standard pixel are marked as l1, l2, l3, and l4. The spatial variability of vegetation cover at the matched pixel in the previous time can be calculated using the following formula:

[0108]

[0109] Among them, w n This represents the inverse distance weighting factor of the four pixels surrounding the standard pixel, where n ranges from 1 to 4, indicating that the values ​​of the four pixels closest to the standard pixel are selected for calculation. n This indicates the distance from the standard pixel.

[0110]

[0111] Among them, IF i,j w represents the spatial variability of vegetation cover in a pixel in the spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover at the previous time that matches the pixel in the spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover at the current time. n This represents the inverse distance weighting factor of the four pixels surrounding the standard pixel, where n ranges from 1 to 4. IF n This represents the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the pixel closest to the standard pixel.

[0112] By utilizing the multi-temporal pixel-matched spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover, overlapping images of the same observation area can be obtained. By comparing the edge pixel positions of the multi-temporal vegetation cover spatial variability distribution images, selecting the overlapping portion, and removing the remaining portion, a multi-temporal pixel-matched spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover in the overlapping area is obtained. A schematic diagram of the pixel matching and overlapping area extraction results of two remote sensing images observed by satellite is shown below. Figure 5 As shown.

[0113] By utilizing the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the overlapping observation area across multiple time periods, the probability density distribution characteristics of the spatial variability of vegetation cover in all pixels within the area are statistically analyzed to obtain the statistical distribution curve of the spatial variability of vegetation cover in multiple time periods. The statistical distribution curves of the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the two satellite observation scenes are shown below. Figure 6 As shown.

[0114] By utilizing the multi-temporal vegetation cover spatial variability statistical distribution curves, the differences between the statistical distribution curves are compared. These differences include the probability changes in the distribution of vegetation cover spatial variability across different intervals. According to the definition of vegetation cover spatial variability, a negative value indicates that the vegetation cover of that pixel is worse than the surrounding area; a positive value indicates that the vegetation cover of that pixel is better than the surrounding area. The larger the absolute value, the more significant the difference in vegetation cover status between the current pixel and its neighborhood, indicating a greater difference in vegetation growth status, and vice versa. Therefore, the probability changes in vegetation cover spatial variability across different intervals can illustrate the differences in vegetation growth status within the observation area, especially the changes in vegetation growth status at the boundaries of different vegetation covers, thereby determining the changes in vegetation growth status. Figure 6 The distribution frequency of the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the observation area at the current time is higher in the positive region than before this time, indicating that the differences between different vegetation cover boundary areas in the observation area are increasing.

[0115] The present invention also provides a vegetation growth status monitoring system based on the spatial variability of vegetation cover. The vegetation growth status monitoring system based on the spatial variability of vegetation cover can be implemented by executing the process steps of the vegetation growth status monitoring method based on the spatial variability of vegetation cover. That is, those skilled in the art can understand the vegetation growth status monitoring method based on the spatial variability of vegetation cover as a preferred embodiment of the vegetation growth status monitoring system based on the spatial variability of vegetation cover.

[0116] A vegetation growth status monitoring system based on spatial variability of vegetation cover, provided by the present invention, includes:

[0117] Module M1: Acquires multi-temporal normalized vegetation index data and pixel location information of the observation area. The multi-temporal data consists of remote sensing data at the current time and data prior to that time, and the observation areas of the remote sensing data have overlapping parts.

[0118] Module M2: Using multi-temporal normalized vegetation index data, vegetation cover is calculated based on a pixel-based binary model. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0119]

[0120] Where FVC represents vegetation cover, and NDVI represents the normalized vegetation index of pixels within the observation area, NDVI soil NDVI represents the non-vegetation endmember. vegThe NDVI representing vegetation endmembers is generally selected from the 5% and 95% values ​​of the cumulative NDVI frequency in the observation area as the corresponding NDVI values. soil and NDVI veg Substitute the values ​​into the formula to perform the calculation.

[0121] Module M3: Utilizes the vegetation cover data to calculate the spatial variability of vegetation cover. Module M3, combining the vegetation growth status of neighboring pixels, defines the spatial variability of vegetation cover as the ratio of the average difference between the vegetation cover of the current pixel and its eight neighboring pixels to the vegetation cover of the current pixel, thus calculating the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the observation area. Specifically, a pixel position is marked as (i, j), where i represents the row number and j represents the column number in the image. The eight neighboring points around the current pixel, denoted as A1 to A8, have pixel positions in the remote sensing image as (i-1, j), (i+1, j), (i, j-1), (i, j+1), (i-1, j-1), (i-1, j+1), (i+1, j-1), (i+1, j+1). The spatial variability of vegetation cover for the current pixel can be calculated using the following formula:

[0122]

[0123] Among them, IF i,j FVC represents the spatial variability of pixel vegetation cover. i,j This represents the vegetation cover of a pixel, where n is 8 and m ranges from 1 to 8. It indicates the processing of the current pixel's 8 neighboring pixels, FVC. m This indicates the vegetation cover of neighboring pixels.

[0124] Module M4: Performs pixel matching and overlapping region extraction on the multi-temporal vegetation cover spatial variability distribution image of the observation area. Module M4 includes the following sub-steps: Module M4.1: For the multi-temporal vegetation cover spatial variability distribution image of the observation area, using the pixel position in the current time's vegetation cover spatial variability distribution image as the standard, a certain pixel position is marked as (i, j), where i represents the row number in the image and j represents the column number. Using the inverse distance weighting method, the pixel in the previous time's vegetation cover spatial variability distribution image is matched to this position, resulting in a pixel-matched multi-temporal vegetation cover spatial variability distribution image. Specifically, for the previous time's vegetation cover spatial variability distribution image, the four neighboring points distributed around the current time's pixel position are denoted as A1, A2, A3, and A4. The distances between these points and the standard pixel are marked as l1, l2, l3, and l4. The vegetation cover spatial variability at the matched pixel in the previous time can be calculated using the following formula:

[0125]

[0126] Among them, w n This represents the inverse distance weighting factor of the four pixels surrounding the standard pixel, where n ranges from 1 to 4, indicating that the values ​​of the four pixels closest to the standard pixel are selected for calculation. n This indicates the distance from the standard pixel.

[0127]

[0128] Among them, IF i,j w represents the spatial variability of vegetation cover in a pixel in the spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover at the previous time that matches the pixel in the spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover at the current time. n This represents the inverse distance weighting factor of the four pixels surrounding the standard pixel, where n ranges from 1 to 4. IF n This represents the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the pixel closest to the standard pixel. Module M4.2: Using the multi-temporal pixel-matched spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover, overlapping images of the same observation area can be obtained. By comparing the edge pixel positions of the multi-temporal spatial variability distribution images of vegetation cover, selecting the overlapping part of the image, and removing the rest, a multi-temporal pixel-matched spatial variability distribution image of vegetation cover in the overlapping area is obtained.

[0129] Module M5: Utilizing the multi-temporal spatial variability of vegetation cover in the overlapping observation area, a statistical distribution curve of the spatial variability of vegetation cover is obtained. The characteristics of the statistical distribution curves are compared to determine the changes in vegetation growth status. Module M5 includes the following sub-steps: Module M5.1: Utilizing the multi-temporal spatial variability of vegetation cover in the overlapping observation area, the probability density distribution characteristics of the spatial variability of vegetation cover in all pixels within the area are statistically analyzed to obtain a statistical distribution curve of the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the multi-temporal area. Module M5.2: Using the statistical distribution curve of the spatial variability of vegetation cover in the multi-temporal area, the differences between the statistical distribution curves are compared. The differences between the statistical distribution curves include the probability changes of the spatial variability of vegetation cover distribution in different intervals. According to the definition of the spatial variability of vegetation cover, if the value is negative, it indicates that the vegetation cover of the pixel is worse than that of the surrounding area; if the value is positive, it indicates that the vegetation cover of the pixel is better than that of the surrounding area. The larger the absolute value of this value, the more significant the difference between the current pixel's vegetation cover status and its neighboring area, indicating a greater difference in vegetation growth status, and vice versa. Therefore, the probability variation of the spatial variability of vegetation cover in different intervals can illustrate the differences in vegetation growth status within the observation area, especially the changes in vegetation growth status in boundary areas of different vegetation covers, thereby determining the changes in vegetation growth status.
