[0024] The specific scheme of the forest terrain remote sensing mapping method for smart forestry provided by the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] See also Figure 1 , which shows a method flow chart of a forest terrain remote sensing mapping method for smart forestry provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the remote sensing mapping method of forest terrain for smart forestry specifically includes the following steps:

[0026] S110: Acquire a remote sensing image of the forest area to be measured; the remote sensing image is an image obtained by photographing the forest area to be measured by using remote sensing technology to divide the forest area into sections;

[0027] S120: Obtaining the elevation value of each monitoring station in the forest area to be measured and the grayscale value of each monitoring station at the corresponding position in the remote sensing image, and establishing an elevation-grayscale relationship model based on the elevation value and grayscale value of each monitoring station;

[0031] The present invention establishes an elevation-grayscale relationship model based on the elevation values ​​of each monitoring station and the grayscale values ​​of the corresponding positions in the remote sensing image, so that the theoretical elevation value corresponding to the grayscale value of each pixel point can be obtained based on the elevation-grayscale relationship model; in addition, after obtaining the theoretical elevation value, the present invention also takes into account the influence of vegetation coverage and temperature on the elevation data, and preliminarily corrects the measured elevation value through the vegetation coverage and the theoretical elevation value to obtain a weighted elevation value, and further adjusts the weighted elevation value based on the seasonal weight corresponding to the temperature to obtain a target elevation value, which solves the problem of errors in the detection of surface elevation information due to the thick tree canopy in some areas making it difficult for optical remote sensing equipment to penetrate the tree canopy to reach the ground during forest remote sensing mapping, improves the accuracy of the elevation data, and thus helps to obtain more accurate terrain mapping results.

[0032] The following describes in detail the steps of the forest terrain remote sensing mapping method for smart forestry:

[0033] In step S110, a remote sensing image of the forest area to be measured is obtained; the remote sensing image is an image obtained by partitioning the forest area to be measured and photographing it using remote sensing technology.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned forest area to be measured is an arbitrary forest area. The forest terrain remote sensing mapping method for smart forestry provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to correct the elevation value of the forest area to be measured obtained by remote sensing technology to improve the accuracy of terrain measurement and control of the forest area to be measured.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, the remote sensing images are images acquired through remote sensing technology that reflect objects and phenomena on the Earth's surface corresponding to the forest area being measured. Specifically, because the forest area being measured is generally large, and the resolution of aerial platform imaging equipment is limited, to ensure the quality of remote sensing images, the embodiments of the present application can be used to capture the forest area in sections by setting appropriate resolutions and altitudes. For example, during the sectioning process, the forest area can be divided into several relatively independent areas based on factors such as natural boundaries (e.g., rivers, ridgelines), vegetation type distribution, and management requirements (e.g., different logging areas, protected areas). The altitude can be selected based on the following: For larger areas with relatively flat terrain, a higher flight altitude can be selected to obtain a wider field of view and a larger range of images. For areas with complex terrain or special research needs, a lower flight altitude can be used to obtain clearer details. The resolution can be selected based on the following: Areas requiring macroscopic monitoring require lower resolution than areas requiring detailed analysis of vegetation species and tree health. The resolution of the former is sufficient to clearly display the general extent of the forest area and the overall vegetation cover, while the latter requires the ability to distinguish the morphology and subtle features of individual trees.

[0036] Specifically, the above-mentioned acquisition of remote sensing images of the forest area to be measured can be achieved as follows: using lidar technology, by emitting a laser beam and measuring the time it takes for it to be reflected back, three-dimensional information of objects on the ground and in the forest area to be measured is obtained, and high-precision point cloud data is generated; the point cloud data is denoised, resampled, triangulated, surface fitted, projected, and rasterized to convert it into a remote sensing image of the forest area to be measured.

[0037] In step S120, the elevation value of each monitoring station in the forest area to be measured and the grayscale value of each monitoring station at the corresponding position in the remote sensing image are obtained, and an elevation-grayscale relationship model is established based on the elevation value and grayscale value of each monitoring station.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the elevation value is the value of elevation data, which is important data used to describe the topography of the earth's surface and is the vertical distance from a ground point to the geoid or other reference surface.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the grayscale value is a numerical value representing the grayscale level of the remote sensing image obtained in step S110.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the height difference and vegetation coverage of the forest area to be measured at different locations will be reflected in the grayscale. For example, low-altitude areas usually have a warm and humid climate, which is suitable for the growth of various types of forests. Therefore, the vegetation grows lushly, the reflectivity of the forest is usually low, and the grayscale value of the remote sensing image is darker. As the altitude increases, the temperature decreases, the air becomes thinner, the reflectivity of the surface is relatively high, and the grayscale value of the remote sensing image is usually brighter. Therefore, the elevation value can be predicted by the grayscale value based on the relationship between the grayscale value and the elevation value. Specifically, the above-mentioned prediction of the elevation value based on the grayscale value can be achieved by establishing the above-mentioned elevation-grayscale relationship model.

[0041] For example, the elevation-grayscale relationship model can be established by setting up multiple monitoring stations in the forest area to be measured and obtaining the relationship between the elevation values ​​of each monitoring station and the grayscale values ​​of the corresponding positions in the remote sensing image. Specifically, the process can be implemented as follows: obtaining the elevation values ​​of each monitoring station and arranging the elevation values ​​in a preset order to obtain an elevation data sequence; determining the grayscale values ​​of each monitoring station at the corresponding positions in the remote sensing image to obtain a grayscale data sequence corresponding to the elevation data sequence; and determining a regression equation based on the elevation data sequence and the grayscale data sequence to obtain the elevation-grayscale relationship model.

[0042] The above-mentioned monitoring stations need to be set up at different heights as much as possible and ensure that the weather is clear during monitoring. In addition, it is also necessary to ensure that the monitoring stations are distributed in different locations of the forest area to be measured to avoid centralized setting in order to reduce measurement errors. Exemplarily, the setting of the above-mentioned monitoring stations can be implemented as follows: the entire forest area to be measured is divided into multiple blocks, and monitoring stations are set up at the lowest and highest points of each block. After the monitoring stations are set up, the elevation values ​​of each monitoring station can be further obtained by the following method: at the monitoring station, the height difference Δh between the monitoring station and the known reference point is measured by a level (theodolite) and a level rod; the sum of the elevation value H0 of the known reference point and the above-mentioned height difference H=H0+Δh is used as the elevation value of the monitoring station.

[0043] The above-mentioned process of obtaining the elevation values ​​of each monitoring station and arranging the elevation values ​​in a preset order to obtain an elevation data sequence can be specifically implemented as follows: After obtaining the elevation values ​​of each monitoring station, the elevation data of each monitoring station are arranged from low to high to obtain an elevation data sequence. .

[0044] The above determination of the grayscale value of each monitoring station at the corresponding position in the remote sensing image to obtain the grayscale data sequence corresponding to the elevation data sequence can be specifically implemented as follows: the position of the monitoring station is marked in the remote sensing image and the grayscale value of the remote sensing image at the position is obtained, and the grayscale values ​​are arranged according to the order of the monitoring stations corresponding to the elevation values ​​in the above elevation data series to obtain the elevation data sequence. The corresponding grayscale data sequence .

[0045] The above-mentioned determination of the regression equation based on the elevation data sequence and the grayscale data sequence to obtain the elevation-grayscale relationship model can be implemented as follows: calculating the slope and intercept of the regression equation by the least squares method based on the elevation data sequence and the grayscale data sequence; determining the local slope of the regression equation at different positions based on the elevation data sequence and the grayscale data sequence, determining the nonlinearity of the elevation data sequence and the grayscale data sequence based on the local slope, and taking the absolute value of the nonlinearity as the absolute value of the error term of the regression equation; determining the positive or negative of the error term based on the data distribution of the regression equation; substituting the slope, intercept and error term into the regression equation to obtain the elevation-grayscale relationship model.

[0046] With the above elevation data series And the above grayscale data sequence For example, the slope and intercept are calculated by the least squares method based on the elevation data sequence and the grayscale data sequence, and the corresponding regression equation is as follows:

[0047]

[0048] Among them, the above is the elevation value, is the grayscale value, Based on the above elevation data series And the above grayscale data sequence The slope of the regression equation is calculated. Based on the above elevation data series And the above grayscale data sequence Calculate the intercept of the regression equation, is the error term.

[0049] In addition, due to factors such as the randomness of the monitoring site locations and the irregular vegetation coverage at the same elevation, although there is a positive correlation between the above-mentioned elevation values ​​and the corresponding grayscale values, there may be nonlinear situations. In order to improve the accuracy of the above-mentioned elevation-grayscale relationship model, the embodiment of the present application introduces the above-mentioned error term to correct the regression equation so that the regression equation can better fit the relationship between grayscale and elevation.

[0050] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned determination of the local slope of the regression equation at different positions based on the elevation data sequence and the grayscale data sequence, and determination of the nonlinearity of the elevation data sequence and the grayscale data sequence based on the local slope can be achieved as follows: for adjacent elevation data in the elevation data sequence, calculate the first difference between adjacent elevation data, and the second difference between adjacent grayscale data corresponding to the elevation data sequence; calculate the ratio of the first difference and the second difference to obtain the local slope; calculate the third difference between each adjacent local slope, and determine the nonlinearity based on the sum of the third differences and the number of monitoring stations.

[0051] Specifically, the above elevation data series And the above grayscale data sequence For example, the specific calculation formula of the above local slope can be as follows:

[0052]

[0053] in, For the above elevation data series And the above grayscale data sequence In the The local slope at each location; and The above elevation data series are Middle elevation value and the i-1th elevation value, This is the first difference mentioned above; and are the above grayscale data sequences respectively The i-th grayscale value and the i-1-th grayscale value, This is the second difference mentioned above.

[0054] After obtaining the above local slope Then, based on the above elevation data sequence, And the above grayscale data sequence The local slopes at different positions determine the nonlinearity between the two data series. Specifically, the nonlinearity can be calculated by the following formula:

[0055]

[0056] in, For the above elevation data series And the above grayscale data sequence The nonlinearity between is the number of monitoring stations; By comparing the above elevation data series and grayscale data sequence All local slopes at each location are used to measure the degree of linearity between the two. If they are linearly related, then the elevation data series above and grayscale data sequence The corresponding local slopes are the same, and the value of U tends to 0; if the correlation is nonlinear, the larger the value of U, the higher the elevation data sequence. and grayscale data sequence The greater the nonlinearity between them.

[0057] The above elevation data series and grayscale data sequence The nonlinear relationship between ) All data points pass through the fitting curve corresponding to the regression equation. In order to make more data points fall on the fitting curve, the fitting curve can be moved in the direction of more data points that meet the regression equation to improve the fitting effect of the regression equation. Therefore, after the nonlinearity (that is, the size of the error term) is calculated by the above method, the embodiment of the present application also needs to determine the positive and negative of the error term through the data distribution to determine the moving direction of the fitting curve. Exemplarily, the process can be implemented as follows: determine the first data point of the non-overfitted curve located in the area above the fitting curve corresponding to the regression equation, and the second data point of the non-overfitted curve located in the area below the fitting curve; if the number of the first data points is greater than the number of the second data points, the error term takes a negative value; if the number of the first data points is less than the number of the second data points, the error term takes a positive value. Specifically, the positive and negative of the error term can be determined by the following formula:

[0058]

[0059] in, The difference in size of the data points that do not pass the regression equation is used to describe the size of the deviation of the data points from the trend or model represented by the regression equation; is the number of data points in the area above the fitting curve that does not pass the regression equation (i.e., the number of the first data points mentioned above); is the number of data points in the area below the fitting curve that does not pass the regression equation (i.e., the number of the second data points mentioned above); If is positive, then it proves , the regression equation should shift downward and the error term should be less than 0; If negative, then it proves , the regression equation should shift upward and the error term should be greater than 0.

[0060] Based on the above elevation data series and grayscale data sequence Calculate the slope of the regression equation and intercept , and the error term is determined by the above process After the magnitude and sign of ,intercept and error terms Substitute into the above regression equation: , a more accurate elevation-grayscale relationship model can be obtained.

[0061] In step S130, for each partition of the forest area to be measured, the vegetation coverage density of the partition is determined based on the grayscale value of each pixel point in the remote sensing image corresponding to the partition.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned vegetation cover density is used to measure the degree or density of vegetation cover in each sub-area of ​​the forest area to be measured. Since the vegetation cover density will affect the distribution of grayscale in the remote sensing image, for example, in areas with high vegetation cover density, the leaves fully cover the ground surface, the degree of surface exposure is small, and the corresponding remote sensing image grayscale distribution is deep and uniform; conversely, in areas with low vegetation cover density, the degree of surface exposure is large, and the corresponding remote sensing image grayscale distribution is shallow and uniform. Therefore, the vegetation cover density of the corresponding location can be determined based on the grayscale value of each pixel point in the remote sensing image.

[0063] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned determination of the vegetation coverage density of each partition of the forest area to be measured based on the grayscale value of each pixel point in the remote sensing image corresponding to the partition can be achieved as follows: for each partition of the forest area to be measured, clustering processing is performed on the grayscale value of each pixel point in the remote sensing image corresponding to the partition to obtain multiple result cluster areas; based on the average grayscale value of each result cluster area, it is determined whether each result cluster area is a bare surface area; based on the area of ​​the bare surface area and the grayscale value of each pixel point in the non-bare surface area, the vegetation coverage density is determined.

[0064] Specifically, for each partition of the forest area to be tested, based on the relationship between the above-mentioned vegetation coverage density and the grayscale distribution in the remote sensing image, the grayscale in each partition can be clustered by a clustering method to obtain multiple result cluster areas, and the grayscale in the same result cluster area is more similar.

[0065] After obtaining multiple result cluster areas through clustering operations, illustratively, the above-mentioned determination of whether each result cluster area is a bare surface area based on the average grayscale value of each result cluster area can be implemented as follows: for each result cluster area, determine the first average grayscale value of the current result cluster area and the second average grayscale value of other result cluster areas except the current result cluster area; determine the surface exposure value of the current result cluster area based on the first average grayscale value, the second average grayscale value, the near-infrared band reflectivity of the current result cluster area, and the visible light band reflectivity of the current result cluster area; if the surface exposure value is less than a preset threshold, determine the current result cluster area as a non-bare surface area; otherwise, determine the current result cluster area as a bare surface area.

[0066] Specifically, the above-mentioned surface exposure value can be determined by the following formula:

[0067]

[0068] in, Used to describe a result cluster area The possibility of exposed surface area (i.e. the surface exposure value mentioned above); The result cluster area The average gray value of (that is, the first average gray value mentioned above), For any other result cluster area except this result cluster area The average gray value of (that is, the second average gray value mentioned above); The number of resulting cluster regions obtained for clustering. The result cluster area The near-infrared reflectivity, The result cluster area Reflectivity in the visible light band.

[0069] In the above formula, the above Represents the result cluster area The average grayscale difference with other result cluster areas is due to the fact that the overall grayscale of the bare surface is lighter than that of the vegetation cover (the grayscale value is larger). The larger the value of The higher the possibility of exposed surface areas; Represents the result cluster area Regarding the reflection characteristics of light, the reflectivity of vegetation in the red (visible) band and the near-infrared band is higher than that of the exposed surface area. The larger the value of The higher the probability of it being a bare surface area.

[0070] After determining the surface exposure value of any result cluster area through the above formula, the embodiment of the present disclosure can further normalize the calculated surface exposure value to the range of [0,1], and determine whether the corresponding result cluster area is a bare surface area by setting a preset threshold. Taking the preset threshold as 0.85 as an example, The resulting cluster area is identified as the bare surface area.

[0071] After determining the exposed surface area in any partition of the forest area to be measured, illustratively, the above-mentioned determination of the vegetation cover density based on the area of ​​the exposed surface area and the grayscale value of each pixel in the non-exposed surface area can be implemented as follows: determine the area ratio of the non-exposed surface area in the partition based on the area of ​​the partition and the area of ​​the bare surface area; calculate the fourth difference of the grayscale values ​​of any two pixels in the non-exposed surface area, and determine the uniformity of the grayscale value of the non-exposed surface area based on the sum of the fourth difference; determine the vegetation cover density based on the area ratio of the non-exposed surface area in the partition and the uniformity of the grayscale value of the non-exposed surface area.

[0072] Specifically, the vegetation coverage density of any subarea in the above-mentioned forest area to be tested can be determined by the following formula:

[0073]

[0074] in, Represents the vegetation coverage density of the current zone; is the actual area of ​​the current partition, is the area of ​​exposed surface in the current zone; Represents the grayscale value of the a-th pixel in the non-bare surface area of ​​the current partition; represents the grayscale value of the bth pixel in the non-bare surface area of ​​the current partition; A represents the total number of pixels in the non-bare surface area of ​​the current partition.

[0075] In the above formula, the above Indicates the area ratio of non-bare surface in the current partition. The larger the value of the area ratio, the smaller the area ratio of bare surface, and the higher the vegetation coverage density of the current partition. Represents the uniformity of the grayscale of all pixels in the non-bare surface area within the current partition. The smaller the value of , the more uniform the grayscale of all pixels in the non-bare surface area within the current partition, and the greater the corresponding vegetation coverage density; is a normalization function used to convert the calculated vegetation coverage density Normalized to the range [0,1].

[0076] In step S140, the theoretical elevation value corresponding to the grayscale value of each pixel in the remote sensing image corresponding to the partition is determined based on the elevation-grayscale relationship model, and the measured elevation value is corrected based on the vegetation coverage density and the theoretical elevation value to obtain a weighted elevation value.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned theoretical elevation value is the elevation value obtained by inputting the grayscale value of any pixel point in the remote sensing image into the above-mentioned elevation-grayscale relationship model; the above-mentioned measured elevation value is the elevation value of the corresponding position of the forest area to be measured obtained by remote sensing technology; the above-mentioned weighted elevation value is the elevation value obtained by correcting the measured elevation value based on the above-mentioned vegetation cover density and the theoretical elevation value.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, since vegetation coverage will affect the accuracy of the elevation data measurement results of the forest area to be measured, that is, the greater the vegetation coverage density of a certain partition, the more seriously the elevation value of the partition is affected by the vegetation coverage, the greater the deviation of the corresponding elevation data, and the greater the degree of correction required. Therefore, when predicting the elevation value through the grayscale value, the vegetation coverage density can be used as an influencing factor. The grayscale conditions of the remote sensing images in different partitions of the forest area to be measured are compared through the above-mentioned elevation-grayscale model, and the vegetation coverage density of different partitions is calculated at the same time. The elevation correction factor is calculated according to the grayscale difference and vegetation coverage density of different partitions, and the measured elevation value is corrected by the calculated elevation correction factor.

[0079] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned determination of the theoretical elevation value corresponding to the grayscale value of each pixel point in the remote sensing image corresponding to the partition based on the elevation-grayscale relationship model, and correction of the measured elevation value based on the vegetation cover density and the theoretical elevation value to obtain the weighted elevation value can be achieved as follows: inputting the grayscale value of each pixel point in the remote sensing image corresponding to the partition into the elevation-grayscale relationship model, and determining the theoretical elevation value corresponding to the input grayscale value based on the regression equation of the elevation-grayscale relationship model; obtaining the measured elevation value obtained by measurement corresponding to the theoretical elevation value; determining the weights of the theoretical elevation value and the measured elevation value based on the vegetation cover density, and determining the weighted elevation value based on the theoretical elevation value, the measured elevation value, and the weights of the theoretical elevation value and the measured elevation value.

[0080] Specifically, the weighted elevation value can be determined by the following formula:

[0081]

[0082] in, A pixel in the current partition The weighted elevation value of the corresponding position in the forest area to be measured, To use laser radar technology to detect pixel The measured elevation value obtained at the corresponding position of the forest area to be measured, is the pixel point obtained through the elevation-grayscale relationship model The theoretical elevation value of the corresponding position in the forest area to be measured; It is the vegetation coverage density of the current partition.

[0083] In the above formula, the density of vegetation coverage will affect the measured elevation value. Therefore, the greater the vegetation coverage density, the smaller the confidence level should be set for the measured elevation value. The larger the confidence level, the higher the confidence level. is a weight pair and Different weights are set to perform weighted correction on the elevation value of any pixel point at the corresponding position in the forest area to be measured, thereby improving the accuracy of the elevation data of the forest area to be measured.

[0084] In step S150, the seasonal weight is determined based on the temperature of the forest area to be measured, and the target elevation value of the partition is determined based on the seasonal weight and the weighted elevation value.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, the weighted elevation value determined by the above steps S110 to S140 is an elevation value calculated based on a remote sensing image in which trees and the ground surface are in a natural state under ideal weather conditions. However, in actual scenarios, there may be large differences in the vegetation coverage rate of the forest area to be measured in different seasons. Therefore, when the method of the above steps S110 to S140 does not specify the measurement season, the weighted elevation value obtained based on the vegetation coverage density correction needs to be further corrected to further improve the accuracy of the target elevation value finally obtained. The above seasonal weight is used for the above-mentioned further correction of the weighted elevation value.

[0086] Since the impact of seasons on vegetation cover is mainly reflected in temperature, the above-mentioned seasonal temperature can be set based on the temperature. For example, the above-mentioned determination of seasonal weights based on the temperature of the forest area to be measured, and determination of target elevation values ​​of the partitions based on seasonal weights and weighted elevation values ​​can be achieved as follows: obtain the average temperature of the forest area to be measured in the last month of each quarter, and determine the seasonal weights corresponding to each quarter based on the obtained average temperature; correct the weighted elevation values ​​of the forest area to be measured corresponding to the quarter based on the seasonal weights to obtain the target elevation values.

[0087] Specifically, the average temperature of the last month of each quarter in the past year in the forest area to be tested can be obtained. , and based on the average temperature of the last month of each season The seasonal weights are determined as follows:

[0088]

[0089] in, For the forest area to be tested Seasonal weights for each quarter; For the Average temperature in the last month of the quarter; For the The average temperature in the last month of the quarter.

[0090] Furthermore, the above-mentioned seasonal weight-based correction of the weighted elevation value of the forest area to be measured corresponding to the season can be achieved as follows:

[0091]

[0092] in, A pixel point in any partition of the forest area to be tested The target elevation value of the corresponding position; Pixel The corresponding position is Weighted elevation values ​​under each quarter; For the forest area to be tested Seasonal weights for each quarter.

[0093] In an embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the target elevation values ​​at various locations in the forest area to be measured through the above process, the embodiment of the present application can further perform the following processing on the obtained target elevation values ​​to accurately monitor, manage and protect forestry resources through the target elevation values: the target elevation values ​​at different locations in the forest area to be measured obtained through the above steps are represented in the form of a grid, and each grid unit (pixel) contains a height value; the grid units corresponding to each target elevation value are organized into a regular grid, illustratively, each grid can represent a 1m×1m area, and a corresponding digital elevation model is generated; for each target elevation point in the digital elevation model, a corresponding coordinate point (X, Y, Z) is generated in three-dimensional space, and the generated coordinate points are connected through modeling software to obtain a corresponding three-dimensional grid model, and the three-dimensional grid model is used to assist in the accurate monitoring, management and protection of forestry resources; wherein, the above-mentioned three-dimensional grid model can represent the terrain undulations of the forest area to be measured.

[0094] The present invention establishes an elevation-grayscale relationship model based on the elevation values ​​of each monitoring station and the grayscale values ​​of the corresponding positions in the remote sensing image, so that the theoretical elevation value corresponding to the grayscale value of each pixel point can be obtained based on the elevation-grayscale relationship model; in addition, after obtaining the theoretical elevation value, the present invention also takes into account the influence of vegetation coverage and temperature on the elevation data, and preliminarily corrects the measured elevation value through the vegetation coverage and the theoretical elevation value to obtain a weighted elevation value, and further adjusts the weighted elevation value based on the seasonal weight corresponding to the temperature to obtain a target elevation value, which solves the problem of errors in the detection of surface elevation information due to the thick tree canopy in some areas making it difficult for optical remote sensing equipment to penetrate the tree canopy to reach the ground during forest remote sensing mapping, improves the accuracy of the elevation data, and thus helps to obtain more accurate terrain mapping results.
