Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water body monitoring and analysis technology, specifically relating to a quantitative analysis method and system for the three elements of water color coupled with ultraviolet-visible absorption and reflectance spectroscopy. Background Technology
[0002] Water color, as an important bio-optical indicator, carries crucial information about the aquatic environment through its dynamic changes, holding core value for ecological research, resource management, and environmental safety. The optical characteristics of water bodies are jointly determined by stable water molecules and variable optically active components (OACs), among which phytoplankton, colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM), and non-algal particulate matter (NAP) constitute the three elements of water color. The optical properties and concentration changes of these three types of substances directly affect the spectral characteristics of water bodies, making them the core objects of water color remote sensing monitoring.
[0003] Current mainstream water color remote sensing algorithms can be divided into two categories: empirical models and semi-analytical models. Empirical models directly establish the remotely sensed reflectance R... rs The statistical relationship between OACs concentration and radiative transfer equations is simple to operate but exhibits significant regional dependence. Semi-analytical models achieve better universality through numerical solutions of the radiative transfer equations, with the quasi-analytical algorithm (QAA) being a typical example. This can be achieved through R... rs The total absorption coefficient a(λ) is inverted and separated into phytoplankton absorption coefficients a ph The sum of the absorption coefficients (λ), NAP, and CDOM, a dg (λ). However, because the algorithm assumes that NAP and CDOM have similar exponential decay spectral shapes, it cannot achieve accurate separation between the two.
[0004] The technical bottlenecks are mainly reflected in two aspects: First, existing satellite sensors generally lack the ultraviolet band (CDOM characteristic absorption region), making it difficult to effectively distinguish the spectral contributions of CDOM and NAP using only the visible light band; second, although laboratory / in-situ ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy measurements can accurately obtain the absorption characteristics of water bodies, their spatiotemporal coverage is orders of magnitude different from that of remote sensing observation. This technical disconnect between "high-precision point measurement" and "large-scale area observation" severely restricts the accuracy and efficiency of dynamic water environment monitoring. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the difficulty in separating CDOM and NAP in existing water color remote sensing technologies, this invention proposes a quantitative analysis method and system for the three water color elements by coupling ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy with remote sensing reflectance. This approach utilizes deep neural networks as a bridge to learn how to predict ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra from readily available reflectance data, effectively integrating the spatiotemporal observation capabilities of remote sensing with accurate spectral information provided by laboratory or in-situ spectroscopic measurements. Based on this, the absorption spectrum is decomposed using a model with clear physical meaning to achieve effective separation of the three water color elements, particularly CDOM and NAP. This invention aims to provide a new approach for the further accurate inversion of water body OACs components.

Based on the spirit of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this invention.
[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention discloses a quantitative analysis method for the three elements of water color using ultraviolet-visible online absorption and reflectance spectroscopy coupling. The method includes the following steps:

[0074] Since the main optically active components of water include pure water, chlorophyll (i.e., phytoplankton components), CDOM, and NAP, the absorption spectrum of a water sample can be represented using an additive model of the absorption spectra of these four components:
[0075] a(λ)=a w (λ)+a ph (λ)+a g (λ)+a d (λ)
[0076] Where aw(λ) represents pure water absorption, aph(λ) represents chlorophyll component absorption, ag(λ) represents CDOM component absorption, and ad(λ) represents NAP component absorption.

[0081] a dg (λ)=a g (λ)+a d (λ)
[0082] a ph (λ) is calculated using the following formula:
[0083] a ph (λ)=C chl ·a ph*(λ)
[0084] C chl =f(R) rs (λ1),R rs (λ2),…,R rs (λn))
[0085] Among them, C chl It is the concentration of chlorophyll components in the water sample to be tested, a ph * (λ) is the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll component per unit concentration, R rs (λ1), R rs (λ2), R rs (λn) represents the remote sensing reflectance at wavelengths λ1, λ2, and λn, respectively, and f is the chlorophyll concentration inversion model based on the remote sensing reflectance. The range of f can be OC2, OC3, OC4, OCI models, etc. Taking the OC3 model as an example:
[0086]
[0087] Among them, R rs (λ1), R rs (λ2), R rs (λ3) represents the remote sensing reflectance at wavelengths λ1, λ2, and λ3, respectively. a and b are the first and second parameter values of the model, respectively, which are calculated by coupling the measured chlorophyll concentration with the remote sensing reflectance. The values of λ1, λ2, and λ3 are usually selected from the bands around 660nm (the band where the absorption peak and fluorescence peak of chlorophyll a are located), 690-730nm (the band that is greatly affected by the absorption of CDOM and NAP), and 740-760nm (the band where water reflection is enhanced and affected by the backscattering of suspended matter), respectively. The specific values are selected according to the actual situation.
[0088] a dg The (λ) separation model is constructed using the following equation:
[0089] a dg (λ)=a g (λ)+a d (λ)
[0090] a g (λ)=C CDOM ·a g * (λ)
[0091]
[0092] a d (λ)=C NAP ·a d * (λ)

[0095] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a g * The absorption spectrum of (λ) in the 200-800 nm range is precisely described by three Gaussian functions:
[0096]
[0097] Where E is the photon energy, measured in eV; λ is the wavelength, measured in nm; E i Let A be the center energy location of the i-th Gaussian function. i Let W be the amplitude of the i-th Gaussian function. i Let be the width of the i-th Gaussian function.
[0098] Each relevant parameter to be determined in the fitting formula is calculated using a continuous iterative nonlinear least squares method, which yields the ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum information of the water body, thereby achieving the separation of CDOM and NAP.

[0102] 1.1 Preparation of water samples for experimental simulation
[0103] To construct and verify the technical solution of this invention, simulated water samples with different concentration gradients of OACs representing a wide range of water body types, from clear to turbid and from oligotrophic to eutrophic, were prepared using laboratory simulation methods. Commercially available chlorophyll a standard, the internationally recognized Suwannee River Natural Organic Matter (SRNOM) standard, and analytical grade kaolin powder were selected as simulants for phytoplankton, colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM), and non-algal particulate matter (NAP), respectively. Using ultrapure water as a substrate, simulated water samples were prepared by precisely adding different amounts of chlorophyll a, SRNOM, and kaolin, and the concentrations were calibrated while their reflectance and UV-Vis absorption spectra were simultaneously measured. Kaolin and chlorophyll a were graded using concentration gradients ranging from 0.1 to 10 μg·L⁻¹. -1 and 1-20 mg·L -1 SRNOM uses its absorption coefficient at 443 nm (α) g (443)) Gradient classification is performed, with a gradient range of 0.05-1.6m. -1 .

[0105] Set up a reflectance spectroscopy measurement device in the laboratory. Figure 2 Using a Newport 94061A simulated solar light source, a 1.4L black cylindrical container was used to hold the simulated water sample. The reflectance spectrum of the water sample was measured using a Marine Optics QE65-pro spectrometer.

[0108] The absorption spectra of the water samples were measured using a Perkin Elmer Lambda 850 UV-Vis spectrophotometer with a measurement range of 250-800 nm and a spectral resolution of 1 nm.
[0109] 1.3 Mapping method from reflectance spectrum to absorption spectrum
[0110] To achieve the mapping from reflectance spectra to absorption spectra, the inherent optical properties of water absorption spectra are obtained through apparent optical signals. A deep learning approach is used to construct a neural network model simulating the reflectance and absorption spectra of water samples. Using R... rs Spectrum, R rs The logarithm of the spectrum and its first derivative are used as input features. The input features are normalized by z-score and a machine learning prediction model for absorption spectra is constructed to realize the calculation from reflection spectrum to absorption spectrum.
[0111] The machine learning inversion model includes, but is not limited to, random forest, support vector machine, neural network, etc.
[0112] This invention preferably constructs an absorption spectrum prediction model based on a feedforward neural network model. The main body of the model adopts a feedforward neural network architecture with multiple hidden layers, integrating techniques such as batch normalization, ReLU activation, and Dropout, aiming to effectively learn the complex nonlinear mapping relationship between the reflectance spectrum and the absorption spectrum and improve generalization ability. The hyperparameters of the network are automatically determined through Bayesian optimization combined with K-fold cross-validation to ensure optimal model performance. The training process uses the Adam optimizer to minimize the root mean square error (RMSE) between the predicted spectrum and the target spectrum, and incorporates an early stopping strategy to prevent overfitting. The output standardized predicted spectrum is de-standardized and optionally Gaussian smoothed to obtain the final predicted absorption spectrum, which will be used for the absorption spectrum decomposition and component inversion described later.
[0113] 1.4 Absorption Spectral Analysis Method
[0114] The main optically active components of water include pure water, chlorophyll, CDOM, and NAP. Therefore, the absorption spectrum of a water sample can be represented using an additive model of the absorption spectra of these four components:
[0115] a(λ)=a w (λ)+a ph (λ)+a g (λ)+a d (λ) (2)
[0116] Among them, a w (λ) represents absorption by pure water, a ph (λ) represents the absorption of chlorophyll components, a g (λ) represents the absorption of CDOM components, ad (λ) represents the absorption of NAP components.
[0117] Since the experiment used a double-beam spectrophotometer to measure the absorption with ultrapure water as the background reference, the baseline absorption of pure water was subtracted before measuring the absorption of the solution. Therefore, the absorption spectrum of the water sample obtained in the experiment can be expressed as Equation (3):
[0118] a nw (λ)=a ph (λ)+a g (λ)+a d (λ) (3)
[0119] Chlorophyll a exhibits significant absorption peaks in the blue-violet and red light regions, while the absorption spectra of CDOM and NAP show similar characteristics, both exhibiting exponential decay with increasing wavelength. Based on the significant differences in absorption spectra between chlorophyll a and CDOM / NAP, the absorption contribution of chlorophyll a can be effectively separated and subtracted from the total absorption. ph (λ) can be expressed as equations (4)-(5):
[0120] a ph =C chl ·a ph * (λ) (4)
[0121]
[0122] Among them, C chl It is chlorophyll concentration; a ph * (λ) is the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll per unit concentration; R rs (λ1), R rs (λ2), R rs (λ3) represents the remote sensing reflectance at wavelengths of λ1, λ2, and λ3, where λ1, λ2, and λ3 are 660, 710, and 748 nm, respectively; a and b are model parameter values, which can be calculated by coupling measured chlorophyll concentration with remote sensing reflectance, where a and b are 289.2 and 31.57, respectively.
[0123] Absorption of CDOM components a g (λ) is expressed as in equation 6-7:
[0124] a g (λ)=C CDOM ·a g * (λ)·ε (6)
[0125]
[0126] Among them, CCDOM ε represents the concentration of CDOM in the laboratory solution; γ represents the interference correction term of NAP; γ is the maximum attenuation of the CDOM absorption spectrum, describing the maximum inhibition ratio of CDOM absorption by NAP; δ is the attenuation rate of the CDOM absorption spectrum, describing the rate of change in the inhibition of the CDOM absorption spectrum as the NAP concentration increases; C NAP This is the concentration of NAP (kaolin) in the laboratory solution. g * (λ) represents the concentration-normalized CDOM absorption spectrum. g * The absorption spectrum of (λ) in the 200-800 nm range can be accurately described by three Gaussian functions:
[0127]
[0128] Where E is the photon energy, measured in eV; λ is the wavelength, measured in nm; E i Let A be the center energy location of the i-th Gaussian function. i Let W be the amplitude of the i-th Gaussian function. i Let be the width of the i-th Gaussian function.
[0129] Absorption of NAP components a d The coefficient (λ) is expressed as in equation (10):
[0130] a d (λ)=C NAP ·a d * (λ) (10)
[0131] Among them, a d * (λ) is the concentration-normalized absorption spectrum, described by an exponential function. However, because quantitative filtration membrane technology was not used when measuring the UV-Vis absorption spectrum of simulated water samples in the laboratory, a d * The (λ) spectrum also includes the scattering component generated by NAP, which serves as the a... d * The modification term of (λ), therefore a in this invention d * (λ) can be expressed as:
[0132]
[0133] Where λ0 is the reference wavelength, typically taken as 440 nm; a d * (λ0) is the absorption coefficient at the reference wavelength; S is the spectral slope of the absorption spectrum, which determines the rate of absorption decay with wavelength.* (λ) represents a d * The scattering correction term for (λ) can be approximated by equation (12):
[0134]
[0135] Where m is the scattering correlation coefficient, which describes the scattering intensity; n is the wavelength exponent of scattering, which describes the relationship between scattering intensity and wavelength; and β is the saturation factor, which is used to simulate the saturation phenomenon of scattering under high concentrations of NAP.
[0136] Based on the UV-Vis absorption spectrum and concentration data of the simulated water sample in the laboratory, the model parameters are solved by combining formulas (3)-(12) and using the nonlinear least squares method.
[0137] 1.5 Method Accuracy Verification
[0138] To evaluate the proposed method for quantitative analysis of the three water color elements using online UV-Vis absorption and reflectance spectroscopy coupling, the accuracy of the method was verified using laboratory-measured reflectance, absorption spectra, and concentrations. First, the total absorption spectrum was calculated based on the laboratory-measured reflectance spectra, and the accuracy of the total absorption spectrum inversion was verified. Then, based on the inverted total absorption spectrum and the constructed absorption spectral analysis model, the inverted total absorption spectrum was decomposed into chlorophyll, CDOM, and NAP absorption spectra. The sum of the spectra of each decomposed component was compared with the measured total absorption spectrum to evaluate the spectral analysis accuracy of the absorption spectral analysis model for the three water color elements.

[0140] 2.1 Laboratory Reflectance and Absorption Spectroscopy Measurement Results
[0141] Figure 3 The total uptake coefficients of some simulated water samples under different NAP, chlorophyll a, and CDOM concentration gradients are shown. Figure 3 The three parts from left to right are: (a) Chlorophyll a is 0.2 μg·L -1 NAP is 1 mg·L -1 (b) Chlorophyll a is 1 μg·L -1 NAP is 5 mg·L -1 (c) Chlorophyll a is 10 μg·L -1 NAP is 20 mg·L -1 .
[0142] Depend on Figure 3It can be seen that the total absorption coefficient under different NAP, chlorophyll a, and CDOM concentration gradients exhibits an approximately exponential decay with increasing wavelength. With constant NAP and chlorophyll a concentrations, the total absorption coefficient systematically increases across the entire spectral range with increasing CDOM concentration, especially in the short-wavelength band. With constant chlorophyll a and CDOM concentrations, the total absorption coefficient shows an overall increase across the entire wavelength range with increasing NAP concentration. With constant NAP and CDOM concentrations, the total absorption coefficient changes accordingly with increasing chlorophyll a concentration, and the characteristic peaks in the blue and red light regions also increase accordingly, but the changes in absorption morphology are masked by the strong absorption of CDOM and NAP.
[0143] Figure 4 The remote sensing reflectance of some simulated water samples under different concentration gradients of NAP, chlorophyll a, and CDOM is shown. Figure 4 The three parts from left to right are: (a) Chlorophyll a is 0.2 μg·L -1 NAP is 1 mg·L -1 (b) Chlorophyll a is 1 μg·L -1 NAP is 5 mg·L -1 (c) Chlorophyll a is 10 μg·L -1 NAP is 20 mg·L -1 .
[0144] Figure 4 This indicates that NAP concentration primarily affects the overall intensity of reflectivity. As NAP concentration increases, backscattering also increases, and R... rs The concentration of CDOM increases across the entire visible light spectrum. CDOM concentration primarily affects the magnitude and spectral slope of remote sensing reflectance in the blue-green light band. With fixed background concentrations of NAP and chlorophyll a, as CDOM concentration increases, its strong absorption in the blue-violet region leads to a significant decrease in this portion of Rrs, resulting in a steeper spectral slope. Absorption valleys appear in the blue (approximately 440 nm) and red (approximately 675 nm) regions with increasing chlorophyll a concentration. Simultaneously, a reflectance peak that increases with increasing chlorophyll a concentration appears in the near-infrared band (approximately 700 nm).

[0146] Figure 5 The results of the inversion of the total absorption spectrum using a deep neural network model based on reflectance spectroscopy to estimate the absorption spectrum are presented. Among them, Figure 5The three parts from left to right are: (a) comparison of the mean actual absorption coefficient and the mean predicted absorption coefficient; (b) scatter distribution of the actual absorption coefficient and the predicted absorption coefficient based on six typical wavelengths of the training set; and (c) scatter distribution of the actual absorption coefficient and the predicted absorption coefficient based on six typical wavelengths of the test set.
[0147] Figure 5 Part (a) shows a comparison between the mean actual absorption coefficient and the mean predicted absorption coefficient in the wavelength range of 250-800nm. Figure 5 Sections (b) and (c) show scatter plots of predicted versus actual values for six typical wavelengths in the training and test sets.
[0148] Depend on Figure 5 As shown in part (a), the model's predicted average absorption spectrum closely matches the actual measured average spectrum across the entire wavelength range of 250-800 nm. The standard deviation of the predicted results is also close to the standard deviation of the actual values, indicating that the waveform has good predictive ability regarding the dispersion of data around the mean. Figure 5 As shown in parts (b) and (c), the predicted coefficients and actual absorption coefficients of the six typical wavelengths all show good linear correlation; the scatter distribution of the training set and the test set is consistent, indicating that the model does not have obvious overfitting and has a certain generalization ability.
[0149] Table 1 further shows that, at typical wavelengths, the R values for the training and test sets are... 2 The values are generally high; meanwhile, the RMSE values are generally low, and the RMSE values on the test set are close to those on the training set, indicating that the model performance is stable and the prediction error is small. Overall, the model successfully learned and predicted the absorption coefficient spectrum, the results are reliable, and it has good potential for practical application.
