Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of space downscaling of spaceborne polarimetric GNSS-R technology, and particularly relates to supplementing and enhancing SMAP-R data using multi-source data fusion, and designing different model schemes for different secondary inversion requirements. BACKGROUND

[0002] The SMAP mission provides complementary L-band measurements by radiometer and radar to obtain geophysical measurements with fine spatial resolution. However, in 2015, the radar transmitter stopped working due to a fault, and by switching the band-pass center frequency of its radar receiver to the GPS L2C band, the SMAP-R data has become the largest polarimetric GNSS-R data set after more than seven years of continuous measurement. SMAP can receive reflected signals from the ground surface through the V channel and the H channel, and it is the only data set that provides polarimetric measurements. Compared with other GNSS-R missions, the unique feature of SMAP-R is the high-gain antenna and its hybrid compact polarimetric (HCP) capability. The SMAP-R data is collected in the in-phase and quadrature (I / Q) samples, and after processing, the forward scattering measurements generated by GPS reflection are extracted in the form of four Stokes parameters (S0, S1, S2, S3) and total intensity reflectivity (Γ0) calibrated by S0. The SMAP-R data set has great potential in the inversion research of surface parameters (vegetation, soil moisture, polar region), although SMAP-R has the advantage of high temporal resolution, due to the weak reflection signal, uneven distribution of reflection point position, and non-coherent accumulation time, and the observation points are sparse track points, resulting in many "gaps" or incomplete areas in space. The average spatial resolution of SMAP-R is 2.8 kilometers for wetlands, 5.3 kilometers for arid lands, 12.1 kilometers for low vegetation, and 26.6 kilometers for very dense vegetation. Therefore, in order to obtain higher spatial resolution of surface parameter inversion results, we need to supplement the SMAP-R data with other data. SAR data can provide high-resolution images, and there is a certain relationship between the brightness temperature of the L-band radiometer and SAR. In order to fully utilize the ability of SMAP-R to invert earth parameters and ensure its spatial resolution, it is necessary to supplement the sparse data of SMAP-R, so as to realize the inversion of soil moisture, vegetation optical thickness, vegetation water content, polar region parameters and other high temporal and spatial resolution. Therefore, by modeling the backscattering (SAR) of the forward scattering (SMAP-R), the SMAP-R data is supplemented to solve the problem of the lack of polarimetric SMAP-R data at the medium (or small) scale, which is the technical solution proposed in the present application.

[0003] In view of this, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY

[0004] The present invention aims to propose a method for filling gaps in spaceborne polarimetric SMAP-R data based on multi-polarimetric SAR data. This method uses SAR backscatter data to model the SMAP-R polarimetric data, and then verifies the performance of this data through secondary inversion, thereby supplementing the missing data in SMAP-R space and improving the spatial resolution of SMAP-R inverted surface parameters.

[0005] The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

It models the polarization coherence matrix as the contribution of three scattering mechanisms: surface scattering, double-bounce scattering, and volume scattering. In the SAR image, each pixel is represented by a 3x 3 coherence matrix T

The above formula calculates the integral within the 5 delay and ±1.8kHz frame.

[0042] The selected area's SMAP-R, SMAP, MODIS, GF-3, and Sentine-1 data were resampled using bilinear interpolation and gridded onto an EASE Grid 2.09 km x 9 km grid, generating a dataset containing the same number of grid points as the target area. A grid search was used to average SMAP-R reflection points that fell within the same grid, and grids without SMAP-R reflection points were labeled. The dataset was randomly partitioned: 60% of the data was used for training, 25% for testing, and 15% for validation.

[0043] Preferably, the data supplementation method model for multi-polarization SAR backscatter modeling SMAP-R polarization parameters based on ensemble learning in step S4 includes the following:

[0044] The gradient boosting-based integrated machine learning CatBoost algorithm uses the full polarization (GF-3) and dual polarization (Sentinel-1) backscattering coefficients and auxiliary data to calculate the SMAP-R polarimetric parameters (total intensity reflectivity Γ0 and normalized three Stokes parameters) ) for modeling. The specific steps are: take all filtered and normalized data including (GF-3 and Sentinel-1 backscatter coefficients; SMAP SM, RC, VWC, VOD, Roughness; MODIS NDVI, EVI) as input, and use SMAP-R polarization parameters As output, different input features are combined according to different secondary inversion requirements.

[0094] As an implementation of this embodiment, step S3 includes the following contents:

[0095] The SMAP-R, SMAP, MODIS, GF-3, and Sentinel-1 data for the selected area were resampled using bilinear interpolation and gridded onto an EASE Grid 2.09 km x 9 km grid, generating a dataset containing the same number of grid points as the target area. A grid search method was used to average the SMAP-R reflection points that fell within the same grid, and grids without SMAP-R reflection points were labeled. The dataset was randomly partitioned: 60% of the data was used for training, 25% for testing, and 15% for validation.

[0096] As an implementation of this embodiment, step S4 includes the following contents:

[0097] The SMAP-R polarimetric parameters (total intensity reflectance and normalized three Stokes parameters) were modeled using full polarization (GF-3) and dual polarization (Sentinel-1) backscatter coefficients and auxiliary data. The selected ensemble learning method was CatBoost. The specific training process was as follows: all filtered and normalized data including (GF-3 and Sentinel-1 backscatter coefficients; SMAP SM, Roughness, VWC, VOD, RC; MODIS NDVI, EVI) were used as input, and SMAP-R as output.

[0098] According to the different requirements of secondary inversion of filled data and to prevent overfitting, the input scheme is designed as follows:

[0099]

[0100] As an implementation of this embodiment, step S5 includes the following sub-steps:

[0101] Step S5.1: The SMAP-R parameters with different secondary inversion capabilities inverted from the SAR backscatter coefficients after training in step S4 are The data are input into the ANN network for secondary inversion, with the target parameters being VWC, VOD and SM.

[0102] Step S5.2, for the ANN model, as shown in the attached Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the model consists of 8 fully connected layers, with the number of neurons in each layer being 32, 64, 64, 32, 64, 128, 128, and 64, respectively. The activation function between layers 1-6 is uniformly ReLU function, and no activation function is used in layers 7-8. Dropout mechanism is added in the middle to suppress overfitting, and the Dropout ratio is 0.1. The output layer uses Linear function to enhance output stability. The optimization algorithm uses Adam optimizer, and the initial learning rate is 0.001. The loss function uses mean square error (MSE), which is defined as follows:

[0103]

[0104] Where y i represents the observed value of the i-th sample, represents the predicted value of the model, and n is the total number of samples.

[0105] In step S5.3, the results are compared and validated with the SMAP data. During training, if the validation set error does not significantly decrease over 10 consecutive iterations, training is terminated early. After constructing a complete regional training sample, the overall model is applied to predict missing grids, achieving a complete reconstruction of the spatial distribution of SMAP-R inversion parameters.

[0106] In step S5.,4, the selected accuracy indicators are correlation coefficient (CC) and root mean square error (RMSE).

[0110] Finally, the results of secondary inversion using ANN are as follows Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the scatter density maps of vegetation optical thickness, vegetation water content and soil moisture inverted from SMAP-R data are given, as well as the correlation coefficient and root mean square error.

[0111] As can be seen from the figure, there is a strong correlation between the three inversion results and the validation data (inverted vegetation optical depth CC = 0.89, vegetation water content CC = 0.88, soil moisture CC = 0.83), and the inverted soil moisture shows the smallest RMSE = 0.054cm 3 / cm 3 , RMSE of vegetation optical depth = 0.076, RMSE of vegetation water content = 0.645 kg / m 2 The above results prove that SMAP-R data modeled by SAR backscatter data can successfully invert surface parameters with good accuracy and can be used as a substitute for missing data, thereby filling the gaps in the SMAP-R inversion parameter space and improving spatial resolution.
