Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tropical cyclone technology, and in particular to a method and system for estimating the intensity of tropical cyclones. Background Technology
[0002] Tropical cyclones (TCs) are among the most destructive weather systems on Earth. The intensity of a TC is defined as the maximum sustained winds near its center. Accurate TC intensity estimation is crucial for understanding TC development and evolution, improving TC forecasting, and disaster prevention and mitigation. In traditional meteorological applications, the main methods for TC intensity estimation include the Dvorak technique, the Advanced Dvorak technique (ADT), the Deviation Angle Variance technique (DAV), and the Satellite Agreement Concordance technique (SATCON).
[0003] With the rapid development of deep learning technology in image processing, especially the development of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), TC intensity estimation has ushered in a new breakthrough. CNNs have the ability to automatically learn features, extracting spatial features from satellite images without human intervention, providing a completely new solution for TC intensity estimation. An existing technology designs a CNN-based architecture for classifying TC based on its intensity. Compared with state-of-the-art techniques using satellite images for intensity estimation, this model achieves better accuracy and lower RMSE, and allows visualization of the features and their deconstruction at different layers to understand the learning process. A new dataset from remote sensing satellites (four channels: VIS, PMW, IR, WV) has also been released for the TC image-to-intensity estimation task, and a new model based on AlexNet has been proposed. For the first time, domain knowledge (rotation invariance) has been incorporated into the convolutional model to achieve better performance. Incorporating environmental factors such as latitude and longitude into the model results in even better accuracy. Notably, rotation invariance is utilized in the testing phase, with samples rotated multiple times before being fed into the model for training and then averaged. In recent research, researchers have begun to consciously extract features more closely related to intensity.
[0004] While the aforementioned studies yielded more reliable estimates, they also have some problems. They failed to fully consider relevant knowledge already available or in use in traditional meteorological fields. Their work often incorporates data containing a large amount of information, such as satellite imagery, into the model for learning. Even with attention mechanisms, the model is easily influenced by irrelevant information, leading to biases. Summary of the Invention

[0057] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solution of the present invention, rather than limitations thereof. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0058] The term "and / or" simply describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. Additionally, the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0059] Example 1
[0060] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment introduces a method for estimating the intensity of a tropical cyclone, including:
[0061] Obtain raw satellite images of tropical cyclones. For example... Figure 8 The image shown is the original satellite image of a tropical cyclone.
[0062] Physical information and convection cores are extracted from the raw satellite images.
[0063] A convection core image is generated based on the described convection core. For example... Figure 9 The image shown is a convection core image.
[0064] The extraction of the convection core is as follows:
[0065] ;
[0066] In the formula, For at pixel The temperature of the convective core above; For at pixel The temperature of the convective core above; For at pixel The coordinates of the surrounding pixels; For at pixel The temperature of the convective core above; For at pixel The temperature of the convective core above; For at pixel The temperature of the convective core above; For at pixel The temperature of the convective core on the surface.
[0067] Satellite images are composed of many different pixels. Essentially, they are obtained by finding pixels that satisfy a formula from satellite infrared images and defining these pixels as convection cores. The physical information is the number of these pixels and their minimum and maximum temperatures.
[0068] The physical information includes the number of convective cores, their temperature, and geographical factors. Some characteristics of the convective cores constitute physical information.
[0069] The raw satellite images, convective core images, and physical information are input into a pre-built intensity estimation model to obtain the intensity estimation results of the tropical cyclone. For example... Figure 5 The diagram shows the structure of the intensity estimation model.
[0070] The processing steps of the intensity estimation model include:
[0071] Features of the original satellite image are extracted using a 3D convolutional neural network to obtain a feature map of the original satellite image; features of the convection core image are extracted using a 2D convolutional neural network to obtain a feature map of the convection core image. The use of the 3D convolutional neural network allows the model to process multiple image frames simultaneously, preserving the spatiotemporal context crucial for accurate intensity estimation. Here, 2D convolution is used to focus on the spatial features of the convection core without the additional complexity of handling the temporal dimension.
[0072] We used 3D convolutional neural networks (3D-CNN) and 2D convolutional neural networks (2D-CNN) to extract and learn features from the original satellite images and the convection core images, respectively. This is because the three channels of the satellite cloud image contain a lot of information, and 2D convolutional neural networks (2D-CNN) cannot effectively obtain the individual information of each channel. Therefore, we used 3D convolutional neural networks (3D-CNN) to extract information from the three-channel images during feature extraction.
[0073] To identify and learn more valuable information, we utilize an improved attention module to further extract features from the features extracted by the two neural networks. The improved attention module performs secondary feature extraction and weighting on the feature maps of the original satellite image and the convection core image, respectively, to obtain the weighted feature map of the original satellite image. Feature map weighted by convection core image .
[0074] The improved attention module includes an improved channel focus module (ICFM) and an improved spatial focus module (ISFM), such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 The diagrams shown are schematic representations of the Improved Channel Focus Module (ICFM) and the Improved Spatial Focus Module (ISFM). Specifically:
[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, in the Improved Channel Focus Module (ICFM), the feature information of the feature map of the original satellite image is extracted and flattened to obtain the feature map of the flattened original satellite image. The feature information extracted from the feature map of the original satellite image is used for channel learning to obtain channel attention weights. The channel attention weights Feature maps weighted to the flattened original satellite image In the process, the weighted feature map of the original satellite image is obtained. .
[0076] The weighted feature map of the original satellite image The calculation formula is:
[0077] .
[0078] Similar to Figure 4 As shown, in the Improved Spatial Focus Module (ISFM), feature information of the feature map of the convection core image is extracted and flattened to obtain the feature map of the flattened convection core image. The feature information extracted from the feature map of the convection core image is used for channel learning to obtain spatial attention weights. The spatial attention weights Feature map of the convection core image after weighting and flattening In the process, the weighted feature map of the convection core image is obtained. .
[0079] The weighted feature map of the convection core image The calculation formula is:
[0080] .
[0081] like Figure 6 As shown, the construction of the improved channel focus module (ICFM) includes:
[0082] Obtain the original channel attention module.
[0083] Since the max pooling layer weakens the information around the eye of the typhoon, the max pooling layer of the original channel attention module is deleted, a 3D convolutional layer is added before the global average pooling layer of the original channel attention module, and multiple fully connected layers are added after the global average pooling layer of the original channel attention module to obtain an improved channel attention module.
[0084] This design facilitates deeper feature extraction and channel information fusion from three-channel cloud images. 3D convolutional layers can better capture complex features and interactive information in three-channel cloud images. Adding a fully connected layer after each convolutional layer enhances feature extraction capabilities. These fully connected layers further emphasize the importance of each channel, thereby better distinguishing the distribution of features such as cloud thickness and density during training, making the Improved Channel Focus Module (ICFM) more precise in focusing on important channels.
[0085] Existing Channel Focus Modules (CFM) use global average pooling and max pooling to obtain global channel information, and then generate channel attention maps through 1×1 convolutions and activation functions. The channel attention map is usually multiplied element-wise with the input feature map and then directly passed to the next network layer.
[0086] like Figure 7 As shown, the construction of the improved spatial focus module (ISFM) includes:
[0087] Obtain the original spatial attention module.
[0088] By adding multiple feature extraction layers before the input gate of the original spatial attention module and then adding a sigmoid activation function after the multiple feature extraction layers, an improved spatial attention module is obtained.
[0089] This invention employs a hierarchical processing structure. First, the input convection core image undergoes progressive feature extraction, generating multiple feature layers. Finally, a sigmoid activation function is used to generate a spatial attention map. This structure is more conducive to capturing the spatial information of the convection core image, thereby improving the extraction of global features. During training, convection core feature maps of different resolutions are weighted to better extract multi-scale information from the image. The combination of feature maps of different resolutions helps to improve the spatial attention module (ISFM) to more accurately locate the convection core region and enhance the focus on target features.
[0090] Existing spatial attention modules operate directly on global spatial features, such as generating a spatial attention map from global features through convolution. During training, spatial attention... Figure 1 Generally, it is multiplied element-wise with the input feature map and then directly passed to the next layer.
[0091] Weighted feature map of the original satellite image Feature map weighted by convection core image By superimposing the features, we obtain the sum of the image features, as shown in the formula:
[0092] ;
[0093] In the formula, The sum of the features of the image; It is a superposition function; The feature map is a weighted representation of the original satellite image. This is a weighted feature map of the convection core image. It can simultaneously utilize spatial and channel-specific information. This fusion combines the advantages of both branches, improving the overall accuracy of intensity estimation.
[0094] During convolution, the convection core image is gradually broken down by the convolution kernel, which destroys quantitative information. If the lowest and highest temperatures occur at points where these points are broken down, they will also be lost. Therefore, the sum of the image features and the physical information are input into a fully connected layer to output a tropical cyclone intensity estimate. This physical information directly indicates cyclone intensity but is easily overlooked by the model.
[0095] The parameters of the intensity estimation model are optimized using the root mean square error loss function and the mean absolute error loss function.
[0096] To understand the difference between the estimated values and the true values from the intensity estimation model, we use the RMSE and MAE loss functions to calculate the error between the estimated and true values. The root mean square error loss function and the mean absolute error loss function are as follows:
[0097] ;
[0098] ;
[0099] ;
[0100] In the formula, The root mean square error loss function; The mean absolute error loss function; The number of image samples; For image samples; This represents the true intensity of the tropical cyclone. This represents the estimated intensity of a tropical cyclone. This is the intensity estimation function; The sum of the features of the image; It is physical information.
[0101] Example 2
[0102] like Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown in the figure, this embodiment introduces the experimental steps of a method for estimating the intensity of a tropical cyclone, specifically including:
[0103] The satellite imagery data used in this embodiment is an integrated TCIR dataset obtained from two public data sources, GridSat and CMORPH. This dataset provides satellite cloud images in four channels: infrared (IR), water vapor (WV), visible light (VIS), and passive microwave (PMW).
[0104] The IR, WV, and VIS channels are sourced from the GridSat data source, which collects data every 3 hours with a spatial resolution of 0.07°. The PMW channel is sourced from the CMORPH data source, also with a 3-hour interval, but with a spatial resolution of 0.25°. Therefore, linear interpolation is required to scale the PMW channel to 0.07° to ensure uniform channel scale.
[0105] Because the VIS channel is extremely unstable, we discarded it and only used the IR, WV, and PMW channels. The convection core map (CC) was obtained from the IR image using CST technology. Specific satellite image data are shown in Table 1.
[0106] Table 1 Satellite image data
[0107]
[0108] We used TC data from 2003 to 2017. We divided the dataset into training and validation sets in a 9:1 ratio, and used a separate test set for the 2017 data to evaluate the performance of the best model. We also performed centering, random rotation, and normalization operations on the data.
[0109] To verify the effectiveness of each part of the model, we designed five methods (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5) for experiments, and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0110] The M1 method uses a baseline model. Based on experimental results, this method uses 3D-CNN to extract information from a three-channel cloud map and directly enters the fully connected layer for intensity estimation without going through an attention module.
[0111] In the M2 method, we introduce ICFM to further extract global channel information. Experimental results show that the performance is improved by 2.7% after using channel attention, which indicates that our designed attention has learned the interrelationships between channels.
[0112] In the M3 method, we incorporate the convection core map into the intensity estimation model and use 2D-CNN to extract features to assist in intensity estimation. As shown in the table, compared with the M1 method, adding the convection core improves the performance by 6.9%, which indicates that prior knowledge plays a significant role in assisting intensity estimation.
[0113] To verify the effectiveness of ISFM, we added this module to the M4 method. Experimental results show that while the features of the convective core are extracted in the M3 method, more spatial location information is not taken into account, while ISFM successfully enables the intensity estimation model to learn more refined spatial location features of the convective core.
[0114] Finally, we incorporated physical information into the intensity estimation model to obtain the M5 method. The addition of physical information further reduced the error, proving that physical information, namely the number and temperature of convective cores, plays a role in intensity estimation.
[0115] Table 2 shows the relevant configurations and experimental results for methods M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5, where Δ represents the performance improvement in RMSE compared to method M1.
[0116] Table 2 shows the relevant model configurations and experimental results.
[0117]
[0118] Figure 10 The image shows a scatter plot of the optimal path strength and the model-estimated strength results in this embodiment, with an RMSE of 8.13. The red line in the figure represents the linear fit between the two strengths, with the corresponding equation being y = 0.93x + 1.94. This indicates that this embodiment has high accuracy on the independent test set.
