Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of soil moisture remote sensing inversion, and in particular to a double-branch network soil moisture inversion method based on TM-01 data. Background Art
[0002] Soil moisture is a key variable connecting the water cycle and ecological energy exchange between land and atmosphere, and is closely related to agricultural production, climate regulation, and hydrological processes. Accurate monitoring of soil moisture is of great significance for drought detection, climate change prediction, and water resources management. Currently, optical remote sensing and passive microwave remote sensing are the main technical means for large-scale soil moisture observation. Optical remote sensing satellite data provides high spatial resolution but is easily affected by interference from clouds and vegetation; passive microwave remote sensing data has high temporal resolution but low spatial resolution. Passive microwave remote sensing technology, represented by the Soil Moisture Active Probe Satellite (SMAP), can provide global soil moisture data at a resolution of 36 kilometers and a revisit period of 2-3 days. However, for some hydrological and climate applications, soil moisture data with higher temporal and spatial resolution remains an urgent need.
[0003] With the development of GNSS-R technology, it has shown great potential as an alternative to traditional soil moisture monitoring methods. GNSS-R offers advantages such as global coverage, low cost, insensitivity to weather conditions, near-real-time data acquisition, and short satellite revisit times. In soil moisture retrieval, surface characteristics such as vegetation cover and roughness lead to a nonlinear relationship between GNSS-R signals and surface soil moisture. Compared to linear models, machine learning and deep learning models are better able to capture these complex relationships. Currently, most GNSS-R soil moisture retrieval research is based on TechDemoSat-1 (TDS-1) and Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) satellite data, and no research based on TM-01 satellite data has been reported. Therefore, this paper utilizes TM-01 satellite data and proposes a dual-branch network soil moisture retrieval method based on TM-01 data, providing technical support for soil moisture monitoring based on TM-01 data. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention provides a dual-branch network soil moisture inversion method based on TM-01 data, which effectively improves the accuracy of soil moisture inversion under complex surface conditions and provides a new technical path and data support for soil moisture monitoring.
[0005] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a dual-branch network soil moisture inversion method based on TM-01 data is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0006] (1) Acquire TM-01 satellite data and SMAP satellite soil moisture product data; match the TM-01 satellite data and SMAP satellite soil moisture product data in time and space to generate training samples and validation samples with a ratio of 7:3. Temporal matching refers to matching the data of the same date of the TM-01 satellite data and the SMAP satellite soil moisture product data. Spatial matching refers to matching the TM-01 satellite data and the SMAP satellite soil moisture product data using the nearest neighbor method, that is, retaining the point with the closest latitude and longitude between the TM-01 satellite data mirror reflection point and the SMAP satellite soil moisture product data grid point for spatial matching;
[0007] (2) Preprocessing operations on training samples and validation samples, including normalization and quality control processing; quality control processing includes removing low-quality reflection points and water areas;
[0008] (3) Use XGBoost machine learning to analyze the importance of information features in the training sample and verification sample data, and remove the three features with low importance;
[0009] (4) Establish a fully connected neural network model. By selecting the relu activation function, data batch normalization, L2 regularization, dropout and fully connected network parameter settings, the training sample data and validation sample data with low-importance features removed are input into the fully connected neural network. After multiple iterations, the soil moisture inversion result y1 and the root mean square error RMSE1 are obtained;
[0010] (5) Establish a random forest model. By setting the number of decision trees, the maximum depth of decision trees, the maximum number of features, the minimum number of samples for internal nodes, the minimum number of samples for leaf nodes, the evaluation criteria, and the sample sampling method, the training sample data and the validation samples with low-importance features removed are input into the random forest model to obtain the soil moisture inversion results y2 and the root mean square error RMSE2;
[0011] (6) The weighted average method is used to calculate the soil moisture inversion results y1, y2 and the root mean square errors RMSE1 and RMSE2 to obtain the final soil moisture inversion results.
[0012] In one possible implementation, in step (6), the weighted average method is used to calculate the soil moisture inversion results y1, y2 and the root mean square errors RMSE1, RMSE2 to obtain the final soil moisture inversion result y. The calculation formula is:
[0013] ;
[0014] Among them, the unit of the inversion result y is cm 3 / cm 3 .
