Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of remote sensing image processing technology, and in particular relates to a spatiotemporal fusion method for remote sensing images. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, remote sensing image acquisition faces a trade-off between temporal and spatial resolution. Traditional remote sensing sensors, such as SeaWiFS, MODIS, and AVHRR, can provide high temporal resolution images, but their spatial resolution is relatively low, resulting in insufficient image detail and making it difficult to meet the needs of high-precision applications. Conversely, sensors such as ASTER, Landsat, and Sentinel-2 can provide high spatial resolution images, but they have long revisit periods, low temporal resolution, and are susceptible to weather factors such as clouds, resulting in a limited number of usable images.

[0003] To resolve the conflict between temporal and spatial resolution, spatiotemporal fusion methods have emerged. These methods aim to generate synthetic images with both high temporal and spatial resolution by fusing remote sensing images from different times and spatial resolutions. Existing methods include non-fusion-based methods, weight function-based methods, Bayesian methods, hybrid methods, and learning-based methods. Among these, learning-based methods, especially deep learning-based methods, have attracted significant attention due to their powerful data processing and feature extraction capabilities.

[0004] Despite significant performance advancements in deep learning-based remote sensing spatiotemporal fusion methods, several key challenges remain. First, for regions rich in spatial detail, a single, simple network layer may fail to adequately extract this detail, leading to blurred images in the fusion result. This is primarily due to the limitations of deep learning models in handling complex spatial features, hindering their ability to effectively capture and preserve fine structures within images. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the background art, the present invention provides a spatiotemporal fusion method for remote sensing images, comprising:

[0006] S1: Convert the high temporal-low spatial resolution image at time T0 and the low spatial-high temporal resolution image at time T1 into a coarse differential image M12;

[0007] S2: The image obtained by stitching together the coarse difference image M12 and the high spatial low temporal resolution image at time T1 is input into the differential network layer; the differential network layer includes: three parallel dilated convolutional layers, a regular convolutional layer, a first attention module and a second attention module;

[0008] S3: Input the high spatial low temporal resolution image at time T1 into the feature extraction network to extract spatial detail features; the feature extraction network includes: a cascaded spatial displacement multilayer perceptron module and a regular convolutional layer;

[0009] S4: The output feature map of the differential network layer and the output feature map of the feature extraction network are fused to obtain a high spatial and temporal resolution image at time T1. The three parallel dilated convolutional layers are used to extract features of the input image of the differential network layer in different receptive fields. The output features of the three parallel dilated convolutional layers are concatenated and then input into a regular convolutional layer for convolution to obtain the first intermediate feature. The first attention module is used to perform attention operation on the first intermediate feature to obtain the second intermediate feature. The first intermediate feature, the second intermediate feature and the output feature map of the feature extraction network are concatenated and then input into the second attention module for attention operation to obtain the output feature of the differential network layer.

[0010] Another aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a program that, when executed by a processor, implements the aforementioned spatiotemporal fusion method for remote sensing images.

[0011] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects

[0012] This invention introduces a feature extraction network that employs a spatial displacement multilayer perceptron module cascaded with ordinary convolutional layers. This network more effectively extracts spatial detail features from high spatial resolution but low temporal resolution images at time T1. This design not only improves spatial resolution preservation but also enhances the model's ability to recognize and process complex spatial structures. The differential network layer cleverly combines three parallel dilated convolutional layers, regular convolutional layers, and two attention modules. The dilated convolutional layers extract features from different receptive fields using varying dilation rates, helping to capture subtle changes in temporal images. The introduction of attention modules further strengthens the model's focus on important features, improving the accuracy of temporal information extraction and reducing the possibility of spectral distortion. This method effectively captures temporal change information through the generation of the differential coarse image M12 and the processing by the differential network layer. Simultaneously, the feature extraction network focuses on spatial detail extraction. The combination of these two aspects allows the model to adaptively balance the extraction of temporal and spatial features, thus accurately reflecting temporal changes while maintaining high spatial resolution. By employing an advanced deep learning architecture, including dilated convolutions and attention mechanisms, the method of this invention exhibits stronger robustness and generalization when processing different datasets. This means that the method can provide high-quality spatiotemporal fusion results regardless of the type of remote sensing image. Furthermore, through reasonable network structure design (such as parallel dilated convolutional layers and attention modules) and efficient feature fusion strategies, the overall computational efficiency is optimized. While ensuring fusion quality, computational costs are also reduced, which is beneficial for promotion and deployment in practical applications. In summary, the spatiotemporal fusion method for remote sensing images provided by this invention demonstrates significant advantages in improving spatiotemporal resolution, enhancing spatial detail extraction and temporal change capture capabilities, and improving the robustness and generalization of fusion results, providing new ideas and technical means for remote sensing image processing and applications.

The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0022] S2: The image obtained by stitching together the coarse difference image M12 and the high spatial low temporal resolution image at time T1 is input into the differential network layer; the differential network layer includes: three parallel dilated convolutional layers, a regular convolutional layer, a first attention module and a second attention module;

[0023] S3: Input the high spatial low temporal resolution image at time T1 into the feature extraction network to extract spatial detail features; the feature extraction network includes: a cascaded spatial displacement multilayer perceptron module and a regular convolutional layer;

[0024] S4: The output feature map of the differential network layer and the output feature map of the feature extraction network are fused to obtain a high spatial and temporal resolution image at time T1. The three parallel dilated convolutional layers are used to extract features of the input image of the differential network layer in different receptive fields. The output features of the three parallel dilated convolutional layers are concatenated and then input into a regular convolutional layer for convolution to obtain the first intermediate feature. The first attention module is used to perform attention operation on the first intermediate feature to obtain the second intermediate feature. The first intermediate feature, the second intermediate feature and the output feature map of the feature extraction network are concatenated and then input into the second attention module for attention operation to obtain the output feature of the differential network layer.

[0025] In this embodiment, a remote sensing image fusion model is first constructed, and the constructed remote sensing image fusion model is trained. The high temporal low spatial resolution image M1 at time T0, the low spatial high temporal resolution image L1 at time T1, and the high spatial low temporal resolution image M2 at time T1, along with the trained remote sensing image fusion model, are used to obtain the high spatial high temporal resolution image at time T1. The remote sensing image fusion model consists of a differential network layer and a feature extraction network.

[0026] When training the remote sensing image fusion model, Landsat and MODIS remote sensing images are acquired and preprocessed. The preprocessed remote sensing images are divided into training, validation, and test sets. The MODIS images (M1 and M2) at the reference and prediction times are enlarged to the same size as the Landsat image (L1) at the prediction time using bilinear interpolation. Then, the enlarged low spatial resolution images M1 and M2 are converted into a coarse difference image M12. The loss function used to train the remote sensing image fusion model includes:

[0028] Where λ1 = 1, λ2 = 0.5, and N represents the sample size. PL1 represents the feature map obtained by EF Net (feature extraction network), and PL2 represents the result map obtained after fusing EF Net and D Net (differential network layer). This indicates that Huber loss is applied to PL1 to supervise the output of the feature extraction network and enhance the model's ability to extract spatial details. This indicates that applying Huber loss to PL2 can better preserve the brightness and color of the final result. This indicates that applying MS-SSIM loss to PL2 preserves image edges and details while focusing on the visual quality of the generated image. These two loss functions are used together to supervise the visual quality of the final fused image and ensure image consistency and integrity. Where l hutber The function combines all the advantages of L1 and L2, enhancing the robustness of L2 to outliers and reducing its sensitivity to outliers. When the error is large, using L1 can reduce the impact of outliers, making the training more robust.

All Landsat images were cropped to 1200×1200×1 pixels, and MODIS images were cropped to 75×75×1 pixels. Two pairs of Landsat-MODIS images from each adjacent time step within the same dataset were used as a single experimental input to the model. The training set comprised 60% of the dataset for training, the validation set for validating the model, and the test set for testing the fusion results.

This region contains 17 pairs of cloud-free MODIS-Landsat images, taken between October 2001 and May 2002, representing a rice-growing irrigation system. All MODIS images are from MODIS Terra MOD09GA Collection 5, and all Landsat images are from Lansat-7 ETM+. Due to the relatively small irrigated area of ​​farmland in this region, the CIA dataset exhibits strong spatial heterogeneity.

All MODIS images are from MODIS TerraMOD09GA Collection 5, and all Landsat images are from Landsat-8OLI.
