[0053] Before providing a detailed description of the embodiments of this application, some related technologies involved in the embodiments of this application will be described first, as follows:
[0054] With the development of remote sensing technology, large-scale, periodic lake monitoring using satellite data has become possible. In recent years, in particular, the emergence of high-resolution, multi-source satellites (such as the Sentinel and Landsat series) and satellite missions specifically designed for surface hydrological observation (such as the SWOT satellite) has provided an unprecedented data foundation for lake topography inversion. Meanwhile, machine learning technology, with its powerful nonlinear fitting and complex pattern recognition capabilities, has demonstrated enormous potential in processing remote sensing big data and addressing Earth science problems. Therefore, combining multi-source satellite data with advanced machine learning algorithms to efficiently and accurately predict lake topography has become a research hotspot in the fields of hydrology and remote sensing.
[0055] Currently, there are many methods for measuring lake topography:
[0056] (1) Traditional underwater topographic surveying:
[0057] Traditional underwater topographic surveying is mainly divided into two categories: direct measurement and acoustic sounding. Direct measurement involves using a graduated sounding rod to measure depth directly in shallow water; another method is the plumb bob sounding, where a weighted rope is lowered to the bottom and the depth is determined by reading the rope length. Acoustic sounding methods typically rely on shipboard platforms (including manually operated vessels or unmanned vessels). For example, a single-beam echo sounder emits sound waves vertically from the ship's hull to the seabed, calculating the depth at a single point based on the round-trip time of the sound waves, thus obtaining the topographic profile directly below the ship's path. A multi-beam echo sounder, for instance, simultaneously emits multiple sound beams arranged in a fan shape, measuring the depth of a wide strip along the ship's path in a single measurement, enabling the acquisition of high-precision, full-coverage underwater topographic data. Side-scan sonar is also used to generate acoustic images of the underwater topography, aiding in the identification of underwater objects, seabed types, and the understanding of overall topographic features.
[0058] (2) Satellite optical remote sensing water depth inversion based on empirical models:
[0059] This type of method utilizes images acquired by satellite optical sensors (such as the multispectral imager carried by Landsat and Sentinel-2) to estimate water depth by analyzing the selective absorption and scattering characteristics of water bodies on different spectral bands. The core principle is that light attenuates with increasing depth in water, especially in short-wavelength bands like blue and green, where penetration is relatively strong, while red and near-infrared light are rapidly absorbed. Empirical models aim to establish a mathematical relationship between the apparent reflectance of satellite imagery (or atmospherically corrected surface reflectance) and actual water depth. This typically requires a certain number of measured water depth points as calibration data for regression analysis. Common models include single-band log-linear models (assuming a linear relationship between water depth and the logarithm of reflectance in a specific band) and multi-band log-band ratio models (such as the model proposed by Stumpf et al., which uses the logarithmic ratio of blue-green band reflectance to mitigate the influence of water optical parameters and some bottom sediment variations).
[0060] (3) Remote sensing water depth inversion based on physical model (semi-analytical model):
[0061] Compared to empirical models, remote sensing depth retrieval methods based on physical or semi-analytical models attempt to describe the radiative transfer process of light in water bodies more deeply. These models not only consider water depth but also explicitly incorporate inherent optical parameters (IOPs) of the water body (such as absorption and backscattering coefficients) and seabed reflectivity (substrate type and reflectivity) into their framework. The basic idea is to separate the contributions of water depth, water components (such as chlorophyll, suspended sediment, and colored soluble organic matter (CDOM)), and seabed reflectivity from the total reflectance signal above the water surface observed by satellite by solving the inverse problem of the complex underwater radiative transfer equation (or its simplified form). For example, water depth can be inverted under given conditions of water body IOPs and seabed spectral libraries through iterative optimization, lookup table (LUT) matching, or spectral decomposition. These methods are theoretically more robust, more adaptable to environmental changes, and can potentially retrieve water body optical parameters simultaneously.
[0062] (4) Water depth estimation based on a small amount of satellite altimetry data combined with imagery:
[0063] This method utilizes discrete but precise water surface elevation (WSE) anchor points provided by high-precision satellite altimetry technology (such as the ICESat-2 laser altimeter satellite), and combines them with water body boundaries (shorelines) delineated by optical or radar satellite imagery acquired quasi-synchronously to estimate water storage changes and local water depth characteristics of lakes and other water bodies. The ICESat-2 photon-counting lidar can penetrate parts of the water body, and in shallow water areas, it can even directly detect the bottom, thus providing the true water depth for some areas; even if it cannot penetrate to the bottom, the precise WSE it provides is a valuable elevation benchmark. When multiple periods of water level elevation and corresponding water body extents are obtained, an area-elevation curve (i.e., a lake-marsh curve or reservoir capacity curve) can be constructed for the lake, thereby estimating the total water storage changes at different water levels. For a specific shoreline location, its elevation is the water level elevation at that time, which can be considered as a "zero-depth" reference for that point. By combining this elevation benchmark, the relative water depth estimated by other remote sensing water depth inversion methods (such as optical empirical models) can be converted into absolute water depth with actual elevation significance.
[0064] (5) Preliminary exploration of water body characteristic research using SWOT satellite data alone:
[0065] The SWOT satellite is designed to provide high-precision elevation, extent, and slope of global surface water bodies. Current research mainly focuses on using SWOT data for water level monitoring, dynamic analysis of water body extent changes, and river flow estimation. Its direct application to the accurate inversion of detailed underwater topography of lakes (rather than just water surface elevation), especially in its fusion with other types of satellite data (such as multispectral imagery), is still in its early stages of exploration.
[0066] (6) Applying machine learning to water depth inversion from a single remote sensing data source:
[0067] In recent years, machine learning algorithms have received increasing attention and application in the field of remote sensing water depth inversion due to their powerful nonlinear modeling capabilities and the advantage of automatically learning features from complex data. Numerous studies have attempted to utilize various machine learning models (such as random forests, support vector machines / regression, gradient boosting trees, artificial neural networks, and even deep learning models like convolutional neural networks) to combine single-source optical satellite imagery (e.g., Landsat series or Sentinel-2 imagery only) for water depth prediction. These methods typically use the raw band reflectance of the imagery, calculated spectral indices (such as various water body indices and color indices), and texture features as input features, and measured water depth data as training labels. The model is trained through supervised learning to establish a highly nonlinear mapping relationship between image features and water depth. Compared to traditional empirical models, machine learning methods often better handle the impact of complex water conditions and changes in seabed sediment, sometimes achieving higher prediction accuracy without requiring pre-defined fixed mathematical formulas.
[0068] The shortcomings of existing technologies:
[0069] (1) Traditional underwater topographic surveying:
[0070] Although the accuracy is high, the operation is costly in terms of materials and manpower, has limited coverage, low efficiency, and poor timeliness, making it difficult to quickly and repeatedly conduct dynamic monitoring. Especially in shallow water areas, and in some urban landscape lakes, measurements are affected by obstacles such as passing tourist boats and aquatic plants.
[0071] (2) Empirical / semi-analytical optical remote sensing water depth inversion method:
[0072] ① High dependence on water quality: The accuracy is severely affected by the optical properties of the water body (such as turbidity, chlorophyll concentration, and substrate type), and the model has poor universality. It usually requires localized calibration for different lakes or different periods.
[0073] ② High requirements for atmospheric correction: Atmospheric scattering and absorption have a significant impact on water body signals, and accurate atmospheric correction is crucial, but it is often difficult to achieve perfectly.
[0074] ③Limited depth detection range: In deep or turbid waters, the light signal attenuates rapidly, making detection difficult. In extremely shallow waters, sediment reflection has a significant impact.
[0075] ④ Reliance on measured data: Most empirical models and some semi-analytical models still require a certain amount of measured water depth data for model parameter calibration and verification, which limits their effective application in areas with no or little data.
[0076] ⑤ Limitations of using SWOT data alone for topographic inversion: SWOT directly measures water surface elevation and extent, not underwater topography. Although its data can be used to infer changes in water volume or constrain water boundaries, it is quite difficult to directly and accurately invert detailed lakebed topography, and the spatial resolution of SWOT (e.g., its rasterized water surface elevation product) is still somewhat limited for fine topographic characterization.
[0077] ⑥ Machine learning methods based on a single remote sensing data source: Although machine learning improves modeling capabilities, the information provided by a single data source is limited in dimensionality. For example, it is difficult to accurately distinguish the differences in reflected signals caused by changes in water depth and changes in water composition using only optical imagery, and it is also impossible to directly obtain accurate absolute water surface elevation as a benchmark. This limits further improvement in model accuracy and robustness under complex hydrological conditions.
[0078] ⑦ Insufficient data fusion: Existing technologies have limited ability to effectively integrate the unique advantages of structured hydrological information such as spectral information from optical images and high-precision water surface elevation and water body extent provided by SWOT satellites, failing to fully leverage the collaborative potential of multi-source data to overcome the limitations of a single data source.
[0079] To address the problems of high cost, low efficiency, significant susceptibility to water quality, poor universality, limited deep-water exploration capabilities, and failure to fully integrate the advantages of multi-source satellite data in the aforementioned existing technologies, this application aims to solve the following technical problems:
[0080] (1) How to effectively integrate the rich spectral information provided by satellite multispectral / hyperspectral band images with the high-precision water surface elevation, water body range and water surface slope data provided by SWOT satellite, so as to more comprehensively characterize the water-light-topography features of lakes.
[0081] (2) How to utilize the powerful nonlinear modeling capabilities of machine learning to learn from the features of fused multi-source data and predict the underwater topography of lakes with high accuracy, thereby reducing the dependence on the assumptions of traditional empirical models and improving the universality and prediction accuracy of the model.
[0082] (3) How to use the precise water surface elevation provided by SWOT data as a benchmark to help distinguish the signal variations in optical images caused by changes in water depth and water composition, and to help constrain the boundary conditions and elevation references for terrain prediction.
[0083] (4) A lake topography prediction technology is provided that is more efficient and less expensive than traditional measurement methods, and more accurate and more applicable than single remote sensing data source methods. It is particularly suitable for rapid topographic mapping of lakes where there is a lack of measured data or large-scale lakes.
[0084] Based on this, this application proposes a lake topography prediction method based on multi-source satellite data and machine learning. First, satellite band images and SWOT satellite data are acquired and preprocessed to extract multi-dimensional features related to lake topography. Next, the model is trained and its parameters are adjusted using measured water depth data from unmanned surface vessels. Finally, the trained machine learning model is used to predict the topography of the entire lake based on the extracted feature values. This application can efficiently and cost-effectively predict the underwater topography of large-scale lakes, providing important data support for water resource management and environmental protection.
[0085] This application provides a lake topography prediction method based on machine learning and multi-source satellite data fusion, relating to the field of machine learning technology.

The server can also be a node server in a blockchain network; the software can be an application implementing a lake topography prediction method based on machine learning and multi-source satellite data fusion, but is not limited to the above forms.

[0111] The optical satellite imagery is subjected to radiometric correction, geometric correction and registration, water body extraction, and removal of clouds, cloud shadows and other interference.
[0112] Before extracting the water features of each water cell in the target lake from the SWOT satellite data, the method further includes the following steps:
[0113] Outlier removal, spatiotemporal matching and grid unification, and water body boundary optimization were performed on the SWOT satellite data.
[0114] The following section will provide a detailed introduction and explanation of the solutions in the embodiments of this application, using specific application examples.
[0115] Reference Figure 2This application aims to propose a method for predicting underwater topography in lakes. The key technical solution includes deep fusion of multi-source satellite remote sensing data (optical imagery and SWOT satellite observations) combined with advanced machine learning algorithms. The basic idea is to fully utilize the optical response characteristics of satellite imagery to water composition and water column attenuation effects, and combine this with multi-dimensional information provided by the SWOT satellite, such as centimeter-level water surface elevation (WSE), high-precision water body extent, and water surface slope, to construct a more comprehensive feature set with richer information and more significant physical constraints. Subsequently, a machine learning model is used to mine and learn the complex nonlinear mapping relationship between these geophysical features and actual water depth, ultimately achieving high-precision, wide-coverage inversion of underwater topography in lakes.
[0116] The detailed steps of this embodiment are as follows:
[0117] ① Data acquisition.
[0118] Optical satellite imagery acquisition:
[0119] Collect archived or newly acquired multispectral / hyperspectral satellite imagery covering the target lake area. Data sources may include, but are not limited to, publicly available data such as Landsat series (e.g., OLI / TIRS), Sentinel-2 (MSI), Sentinel-3 (OLCI), or high-resolution satellite imagery such as Planet, WorldView, and GeoEye.
[0120] SWOT satellite data acquisition:
[0121] Acquire SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) satellite data products that are as consistent as possible with the timing of optical imagery or fall within the same hydrological period. Key data products include: high-precision water surface elevation (WSE) raster data, water body classification data, and potential water surface slope (WSS) products provided by L2_HR_KaRIn (Ka-band Radar Interferometer High Rate).
[0122] Auxiliary data acquisition (optional):
[0123] Digital Elevation Models (DEMs): Such as ASTER GDEM and SRTM DEM, used for shoreline delineation, surrounding terrain analysis, and result correction. Historical Measured Water Depth Data: A small amount of high-precision historical water depth data obtained through sonar sounding, LiDAR, and other methods, primarily used as training labels for machine learning models and / or for independent accuracy verification. Hydrological Station Observation Data: Synchronous or quasi-synchronous water level observation records from hydrological stations in the target lake or adjacent areas, used for cross-validation or bias correction of the WSE data provided by SWOT analysis.
[0124] ② Data preprocessing.
[0125] Optical image preprocessing:
[0126] Radiometric correction converts raw DN (Digital Number) values to TOA (Top Atmosphere) reflectance or radiance values. Atmospheric correction eliminates the influence of atmospheric scattering and absorption on ground reflectance, obtaining accurate surface reflectance. Mature algorithms or tools such as FLAASH, QUAC, Sen2Cor, and LaSRC can be used. Geometric correction and registration perform high-precision geometric correction on the image to ensure accurate spatial registration with SWOT data, DEM, and other auxiliary data, with errors controlled within one pixel. Cloud, cloud shadow, and other interference removal uses quality assessment bands or specific algorithms (such as Fmask, CFmask) to identify and mask invalid pixels such as clouds, cloud shadows, and dense fog. Accurate water body extraction uses a combination of improved Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI), Automated Water Extraction Index (AWEI), object-oriented classification methods, or deep learning segmentation models to extract high-precision lake water body extents.
[0127] SWOT data preprocessing:
[0128] Outlier handling: Remove obvious outliers or isolated points from WSE, WSS, and other data. Spatiotemporal matching and grid unification: Reproject SWOT rasterized products (such as WSE) to a geographic coordinate system consistent with optical imagery and resample to a uniform analytical grid resolution (e.g., consistent with optical imagery resolution or setting an optimal analytical scale). Water body boundary optimization: Utilize the high-precision water body extent classification data provided by SWOT to further optimize or constrain water body boundaries extracted from optical imagery.
[0129] ③ Feature extraction and multi-source data fusion.
[0130] Feature extraction based on optical images:
[0131] Band reflectance is directly calculated using the preprocessed surface reflectance values of each band (blue, green, red, near-infrared, shortwave infrared, etc.). Band ratios are calculated to address water depth sensitivity, such as the green / blue band ratio, red / green band ratio, and near-infrared / green band ratio, to mitigate the influence of the underwater matrix and some water components. Logarithmic transformation features are used, employing logarithmically transformed single bands or band ratios (e.g., ln(blue), ln(green), ln(red), ln(NIR / Green), ln(Blue / Green)). These features are widely used in classic semi-theoretical / empirical water depth inversion models and can linearize the relationship between water depth and radiation signals. Water body indices, such as MNDWI and NDWI, may exhibit a certain correlation with water depth under specific conditions (e.g., extremely shallow, clear water).
[0132] Feature extraction based on SWOT data:
[0133] High-precision water surface elevation (WSE), the high-precision WSE value corresponding to each water body pixel, is one of the core inputs of this method, providing a crucial reference plane for water depth inversion. Water surface slope (WSS), the slope of the water surface in the X and Y directions, directly provided by SWOT data or calculated. WSS reflects local hydrodynamic conditions and may indirectly indicate changes in underwater topography. Shoreline distance, calculated based on the precise shoreline extracted from SWOT or optical imagery, is the Euclidean distance from each water body pixel to the nearest shoreline. This feature utilizes the prior knowledge that water depth generally increases with distance from the shore. SWOT water body information, water body pixel classification or water body extent information provided by SWOT, is used to accurately define the effective area for model training and prediction.
[0134] Feature vector construction and fusion:
[0135] Various features extracted from optical images and SWOT data will be spatially aligned and fused at a uniform pixel (or grid unit) scale to construct a high-dimensional feature vector for each water pixel.
[0136] ④ Machine learning model construction and water depth inversion.
[0137] Training sample construction:
[0138] Label data (real water depth): Ideally, measured water depth data (such as sonar or LiDAR measurements) covering a representative portion of the study area are used as the real labels. The measured water depth points are precisely matched to the geographical locations of their corresponding pixels, and the fused feature vector of that pixel is extracted to form training sample pairs of (feature vector, measured water depth).
[0139] Machine learning model selection and configuration:
[0140] Use machine learning models suitable for handling high-dimensional inputs and complex nonlinear regression tasks. Alternative models include: Random Forest Regression (RFR), Gradient Boosting Regression (GBR), such as XGBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost, Support Vector Regression (SVR), Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), such as Multilayer Perceptron (MLP); or variants of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) that incorporate neighborhood information (if local pixel neighborhoods are used as image patch input). Select a suitable model based on data characteristics and computational resources, and perform preliminary structural design or parameter configuration.
[0141] Model training and optimization:
[0142] Dataset partitioning involves dividing the constructed training sample set into a training set and independent validation / test sets according to a certain ratio (e.g., 70 / 30 or 80 / 20). Model training uses the training set to learn the parameters of the selected machine learning model. Hyperparameter optimization employs cross-validation techniques, combined with strategies such as grid search, random search, or Bayesian optimization, to systematically optimize the model's key hyperparameters in order to obtain the best generalization performance.
[0143] ⑤ Generation and output of underwater topography in lakes.
[0144] Model-based water depth prediction:
[0145] The trained and optimized optimal machine learning model is applied to the fused feature vectors of all water pixels within the target lake area to predict the water depth value for each pixel. Using the high-precision water surface elevation (WSE_SWOT) provided for the corresponding pixel in SWOT analysis, the model-predicted water depth (Depth_predicted) is converted into lakebed elevation (Bed_Elevation).
[0146] Bed_Elevatio=WSE_SWOT-Depth_predicted;
[0147] Output:
[0148] Generate a raster map of the lake bottom elevation model.
[0149] Post-processing of results:
[0150] The generated lakebed elevation or depth map is then subjected to necessary post-processing, such as spatial smoothing filtering, outlier removal and repair, and contour line generation and mapping.
[0151] ⑥ Accuracy verification and evaluation.
[0152] Independent validation dataset:
[0153] The final lake topography product was rigorously evaluated for accuracy using independent measured water depth data (“test set”) that was not involved in model training and optimization.
[0154] Quantitative evaluation indicators:
[0155] Root mean square error, mean absolute error, coefficient of determination, mean relative error, or percentage deviation.
[0156] In summary, this embodiment includes the following technical solutions:
[0157] Key technical points:
[0158] (1) Multi-source heterogeneous data fusion strategy: How to effectively integrate pixel-level optical spectral features with higher-level structural hydrological information (such as WSE grid, water body range vector / grid, water surface slope) provided by SWOT at the feature level or model level to maximize information complementarity.
[0159] (2) Innovative feature extraction and application based on SWOT data: How to transform SWOT data such as WSE, water body extent, and water surface slope into the most effective input features for machine learning models to predict lake bottom topography. For example, using WSE as an absolute elevation reference to constrain relative water depth, or using multi-temporal WSE and water body extent changes to infer the reservoir capacity characteristics of the lake to assist in topographic inversion.
[0160] (3) Optimization of machine learning models for fusion features: Select or design a machine learning model that can effectively handle multiple types of features such as spectrum, elevation, slope, and distance, and perform targeted structural optimization, loss function design or training strategy adjustment to improve the learning efficiency and prediction accuracy of the model.
[0161] (4) Adaptability and transferability of the model in the case of sparse or no ground truth: How can a lake topography prediction model with a certain generalization ability still be trained by means of semi-supervised learning, transfer learning or pseudo-labels generated by using SWOT data when the measured water depth data is extremely limited?
[0162] More specifically:
[0163] (1) A method for predicting lake topography, which involves acquiring satellite (multispectral / hyperspectral) band images and SWOT satellite data (including at least water surface elevation and / or water body range) of the target lake, preprocessing and extracting features from the two types of data, fusing the extracted band image features with the SWOT data features, and using the fused feature set to predict the underwater topography of the lake through a machine learning model.
[0164] (2) Specific methods of feature fusion: Protect the technical solution of combining features such as spectral reflectance and water depth correlation index of satellite band images with features such as water surface elevation, water surface slope and distance to shoreline of SWOT at the pixel (or grid) level to form a multi-dimensional feature vector for use as input to machine learning models.
[0165] (3) Specific applications of machine learning models: Protect the use of specific categories or improved machine learning models (such as random forests, gradient boosters, neural networks, etc. optimized for such fused data) to achieve terrain prediction by learning the mapping relationship between fused features and water depth (or lake bottom elevation).
[0166] (4) Methods of using SWOT data to constrain models or calibration results: Protect the method of using the high-precision water surface elevation provided by SWOT as part of the training label (e.g., if the predicted lake bottom elevation is, then the lake bottom elevation = SWOT WSE - predicted water depth), or as the absolute elevation benchmark of the predicted results for calibration.
[0167] The lake topography prediction system based on the above methods is an integrated system comprising a data acquisition module, a preprocessing module, a feature extraction and fusion module, a machine learning model training and prediction module, and a topography result generation and output module. In cases where measured water depths are scarce or sparse, SWOT data is used to assist in generating training samples or improving model robustness.
[0168] The beneficial effects of this embodiment:
[0169] In terms of originality: This embodiment addresses the bottlenecks of traditional underwater topographic surveying methods for lakes, such as high cost, low efficiency, poor timeliness, and difficulty in applying them to vast, complex, or sparsely populated waters. Focusing on critical needs such as sustainable water resource utilization, precise water environment management, and flood control and disaster reduction, it proposes an intelligent underwater topographic inversion technology for lakes that deeply integrates multi-type satellite remote sensing observation data with advanced machine learning algorithms. This technology aims to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and coverage of underwater topographic mapping. It innovatively constructs a collaborative inversion framework combining optical satellite image features (reflecting water optical properties and water column attenuation) and unique SWOT satellite observation data (high-precision water surface elevation (WSE), water body extent, and water surface slope). By constructing a more information-rich and physically constrained multi-source feature set and utilizing machine learning models to mine the complex nonlinear relationships between these features and underwater topography, it achieves a revolutionary breakthrough over traditional methods. This method overcomes the limitations of previous methods that relied on insufficient information from single remote sensing data sources or overly strong physical model assumptions. It provides a novel technical approach for rapidly and accurately acquiring underwater topographic information of large-scale lakes, demonstrating significant originality and technological leadership.
[0170] In terms of value: The technical framework proposed in this embodiment closely addresses the urgent need to improve the acquisition of basic geographic information for lakes, and its value is reflected in multiple aspects. First, by efficiently and cost-effectively utilizing multi-source satellite remote sensing data to replace or supplement traditional measurement methods, the economic and time costs of underwater topographic mapping of lakes are greatly reduced, making it possible to conduct topographic surveys of lakes lacking actual measurement data. Second, the high-precision, high-timeliness underwater topographic data (DBEM / DBM) produced by this technology are indispensable key input parameters for hydrological, hydrodynamic, water environment, and ecological models, significantly improving the simulation accuracy and prediction reliability of related models. This provides solid data support for precise reservoir scheduling, water balance analysis, flood risk assessment, water quality simulation, ecosystem health assessment, waterway planning, and water-related engineering design. This technology has the advantages of being non-contact, large-scale, and repeatable, making it particularly suitable for monitoring remote areas, environmentally sensitive areas, or dynamically changing water bodies. It provides core technical support for achieving refined, intelligent management and sustainable development of lake water resources, and has significant strategic importance and broad application prospects for addressing water security challenges under the background of climate change.
[0171] In terms of practical effectiveness: The lake underwater topography prediction technology based on multi-source satellite data fusion and machine learning proposed in this embodiment has undergone thorough methodological design and (future or already conducted) case verification, demonstrating strong practical application performance. This technology effectively overcomes the bottleneck of insufficient information from a single remote sensing data source, providing a direct vertical benchmark constraint for water depth inversion through high-precision water surface elevation information provided by SWOT satellites, significantly improving prediction accuracy. The introduction of machine learning models enables it to adaptively learn complex relationships from the data, reducing dependence on prior water body optical parameters and enhancing the method's universality for lakes with different water quality conditions. The underwater topography results produced by this method (such as RMSE, MAE, R...) 2 Based on various metrics, this technology is expected to achieve or surpass the accuracy levels of some existing remote sensing inversion methods, and boasts unparalleled advantages in data acquisition costs, mapping efficiency, and coverage. The technology has a clear workflow, and key steps (such as data preprocessing, feature extraction, model training, and terrain generation) are easily automated and standardized. It possesses enormous potential to move from research to operational applications, enabling rapid response to emergency monitoring needs (such as terrain assessment within flood-prone areas), and demonstrates significant practical benefits and operability.
[0172] In terms of systemic aspects: The underwater topography prediction technology for lakes proposed in this embodiment is not a simple superposition of single technologies, but a complete technical system encompassing multi-source heterogeneous data acquisition, collaborative preprocessing, deep feature engineering, intelligent model construction, and final product generation and verification. This system emphasizes the collaborative observation advantages of optical remote sensing and radar remote sensing (SWOT's KaRIn), systematically designing feature extraction and fusion strategies targeting water column optical characteristics, water surface geometry, and shoreline spatial relationships to maximize information utilization. The application of machine learning models constitutes the core of intelligent inversion, achieving end-to-end mapping from high-dimensional features to underwater topography. Furthermore, this method, through direct linkage with WSE data provided by SWOT, ensures that the predicted "water depth" can be accurately converted into "lake bottom elevation" with a clear elevation benchmark, forming a systematic three-dimensional spatial information cognition scheme from the water surface to the bottom. This technology system not only focuses on the accuracy of terrain prediction, but also takes into account the automation potential and applicability of the method. It provides a key link for building digital twin lakes and realizing routine remote sensing monitoring and intelligent management of lakes. It is a systematic and innovative solution in the field of lake information science.
