Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of remote sensing data processing, and in particular to a GNSS-R sea surface oil film detection correction coefficient determination method and device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous deepening of the development of marine oil and gas resources, offshore oil spill accidents as an important source of marine environmental pollution, its negative impact on the ecological system, fishery resources and coastal economy is increasingly prominent. Timely and accurately identifying the location, distribution range and diffusion trend of oil spill is a key technical requirement for effective protection and risk prevention and control of marine environment, and has important ecological and economic significance.

[0003] Compared with optical remote sensing, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and microwave radiometer, the emerging global navigation satellite reflectometry (GNSS-R) uses the L-band reflected signal of existing navigation satellites (GPS (Global Positioning System), Beidou, etc.), and realizes inversion by analyzing the changes of reflected signal parameters (amplitude, phase, Doppler shift). Its advantages of all-weather, global coverage, low cost and low power consumption make it develop very quickly.

[0004] Most methods are usually based on satellite or airborne platforms, and the few shore-based experimental simulations are not the real situation of sea surface oil spill, that is, the sea surface is covered with thin oil film. When distinguishing oil and water through the dielectric constant of seawater and oil area, the current method only distinguishes them by the difference of dielectric constant values in different areas, without considering the influence of numerical value caused by calibration error, resulting in low accuracy of oil and water distinction.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0077] Reference Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of steps of a method for determining a correction coefficient for GNSS-R sea surface oil film detection provided in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, the method for determining the correction coefficient for GNSS-R sea surface oil film detection can include steps 101, 102, 103 and 104. Figure 1

[0078] Step 101: Obtain GNSS direct signal power and GNSS reflected signal power of a seawater area in a target sea area.

[0079] The embodiments of the present application can be applied to a scenario of calculating a correction coefficient for correcting a dielectric constant for distinguishing seawater and oil film in combination with reference data of the seawater area.

[0080] The target sea area refers to a specific range of sea area for which the correction coefficient calculation is needed. In the present example, the target sea area can be, but is not limited to, an independent geographical unit sea area, such as a certain gulf, a sea area near a certain island group, etc.

[0081] The seawater area refers to an area in the target sea area without oil film coverage.

[0082] The GNSS direct signal power refers to a power value of a signal emitted by a global satellite navigation system (such as GPS, Beidou, etc.) and directly captured by a receiver. The GNSS direct signal power reflects the intensity of the satellite signal after propagation in free space, and is affected by factors such as satellite elevation angle, ionospheric / tropospheric attenuation, etc.

[0083] The GNSS reflected signal power refers to a power value of a GNSS signal reflected by seawater or other media and captured by a receiver. The reflected power is closely related to the dielectric constant, roughness, incident angle, etc. of the seawater or other media, and is a key parameter for remote sensing of the surface characteristics.

[0084] In the calculation of the correction coefficient for the target sea area, the GNSS direct signal power and the GNSS reflected signal power of the seawater area in the target sea area can be obtained. The implementation process can be described in detail in combination with the following specific implementation manners.

[0085] ​In an implementation of the present application, the step 101 can include:

[0086] Sub-step A1: obtaining initial GNSS direct signal power of a GNSS direct signal transmitted by a GNSS satellite to the sea area in a target period, and initial GNSS reflected signal power of a GNSS reflected signal corresponding to the GNSS direct signal.

[0087] In the embodiment, the target period refers to a specific time window preset for collecting GNSS signals.

[0088] The initial GNSS direct signal power refers to an original signal power value of the GNSS direct signal directly transmitted by the GNSS satellite in the target period and captured by the receiver.

[0089] The initial GNSS reflected signal power refers to an original power value of the GNSS reflected signal captured by the receiver after the GNSS signal is reflected by the sea surface.

[0090] In the implementation, a dual-antenna receiving system can be built: 1. A direct antenna, which can be a high-gain right-hand circular polarization (RHCP) antenna, is installed in an unobstructed position (such as the top of the mast) and points to the zenith direction (elevation angle ≥ 5°, etc.), and is used to capture the GNSS direct signal. 2. A reflected antenna, which can be a left-hand circular polarization (LHCP) antenna, is installed on the deck or the buoy platform and points to the target sea area (azimuth angle covers the main reflection area, elevation angle ≤ 45°, etc.), and is used to capture the GNSS reflected signal.

[0091] When the GNSS satellite transmits the GNSS signal to the sea area in the target period, the initial GNSS direct signal power of the GNSS direct signal and the initial GNSS reflected signal power of the GNSS reflected signal corresponding to the GNSS direct signal can be obtained. Specifically, for the GNSS direct signal and the GNSS reflected signal, the satellite signal can be captured by using a C / A code correlator through the processing of a radio frequency front end (low noise amplifier, band pass filter, frequency down converter), analog-to-digital conversion, digital down conversion, etc., the code phase and the carrier phase are calculated, and then the signal power, i.e., the initial GNSS direct signal power and the initial GNSS reflected signal power, can be calculated by using a square law detector.

[0092] After obtaining the initial GNSS direct signal power and the initial GNSS reflected signal power, sub-step A2 is performed.

[0093] Sub-step A2: Select the GNSS direct signal power and the GNSS reflected signal power that meet the conditions from the initial GNSS direct signal power and the initial GNSS reflected signal power.

[0094] After obtaining the initial GNSS direct signal power and the initial GNSS reflected signal power, the GNSS direct signal power and the GNSS reflected signal power that meet the conditions can be selected from the initial GNSS direct signal power and the initial GNSS reflected signal power. For example Figure 2 As shown, the variation of left-handed reflectivity of seawater and oil film with elevation angle is illustrated, where the horizontal axis represents elevation angle (in degrees) and the vertical axis represents left-handed reflectivity. Line 21 represents the curve of left-handed reflectivity of seawater as a function of elevation angle, and line 22 represents the curve of left-handed reflectivity of oil as a function of elevation angle. To obtain accurate correction coefficients, it is necessary to select stable ranges with relatively small variations, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it is necessary to filter out the GNSS direct signal power and GNSS reflected signal power corresponding to the left-handed reflectivity when the elevation angle is greater than 40°. The elevation angle is determined based on the position of the GNSS receiver and the position of the satellite in the sky.

[0095] This application embodiment improves the accuracy of correction coefficient calculation by filtering out GNSS direct signal power and GNSS reflected signal power that meet the conditions for subsequent correction coefficient calculation.

[0096] After obtaining the GNSS direct signal power and GNSS reflected signal power of the seawater area within the target sea area, proceed to step 102.

[0097] Step 102: Determine the observed left-handed reflectivity based on the GNSS direct signal power and the GNSS reflected signal power.

[0098] Left-Hand Circular Polarization Reflectivity (LHCPReflectivity) refers to the ratio of the power of the left-hand circular polarization (LHCP) component to the power of the incident right-hand circular polarization (RHCP) component after an electromagnetic wave is reflected from the surface of a target.

[0099] After obtaining the GNSS direct signal power and GNSS reflected signal power of the seawater area within the target sea area, the observed left-handed reflectivity can be determined based on these two values. Specifically, the power ratio between the GNSS reflected signal power and the GNSS direct signal power can be calculated, and this power ratio can be used as the observed left-handed reflectivity. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0100]

[0101] In the above formula, is a left-handed reflectivity observation value, is a GNSS reflected signal power, is a GNSS direct signal power.

[0102] After determining the left-handed reflectivity observation value based on the GNSS direct signal power and the GNSS reflected signal power, step 104 is performed.

[0103] Step 103: determining a left-handed reflectivity theoretical value according to measured seawater area reference data of the seawater area.

[0104] The seawater area reference data refers to seawater physical parameters obtained through field measurement or a historical database. In the present example, the seawater area reference data can be, but is not limited to, seawater salinity and seawater temperature data of the seawater area.

[0105] When calculating the correction coefficient of the target sea area, seawater area parameter data of the seawater area can be measured, and the left-handed reflectivity theoretical value can be determined according to the seawater area reference data. The implementation process can be described in detail in combination with the following specific implementation manners.

[0106] In a specific implementation of the present application, the above step 103 can include:

[0107] Sub-step B1: measuring seawater temperature and seawater salinity of the seawater area, and taking the seawater temperature and the seawater salinity as the seawater area reference data.

[0108] In the present example, the seawater temperature and the seawater salinity of the seawater area can be measured first, and the seawater temperature and the seawater salinity can be taken as the seawater area reference data. Specifically, the seawater temperature and the seawater salinity of the seawater area can be obtained through a CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) instrument, etc.

[0109] After obtaining the seawater area reference data, sub-step B2 is performed.

[0110] Sub-step B2: determining the left-handed reflectivity theoretical value based on the seawater temperature and the seawater salinity.

[0111] After obtaining the seawater region reference data, the left-handed reflectivity theoretical value of the seawater region can be determined based on the seawater temperature and the seawater salinity. Specifically, the measured seawater temperature and seawater salinity can be substituted into the seawater Debye model to obtain a seawater relative permittivity theoretical value of the seawater region. Then, the seawater relative permittivity theoretical value and the incident angle can be substituted into the Fresnel reflection model to obtain the left-handed reflectivity theoretical value. The incident angle is the incident angle of the GNSS direct signal corresponding to the GNSS direct signal power.

[0112] In the present embodiment, the seawater Debye model is a classical theory for describing the dielectric properties of a dielectric in an alternating electromagnetic field, used to characterize the polarization relaxation behavior of the medium. The seawater Debye model regards seawater as a complex dielectric composed of water molecules, ions, etc., and establishes a theoretical calculation model of the dielectric constant through parameters such as temperature, salinity, and frequency.

[0113] The Fresnel reflection model is based on Maxwell's equations and describes the reflection and transmission laws of electromagnetic waves at the interface of two media. The reflection coefficient is calculated through the dielectric constant of the medium and the incident angle, and then the polarization characteristics and power distribution of the reflected signal are obtained.

[0114] The implementation process of substituting the seawater temperature and the seawater salinity into the seawater Debye model to obtain the seawater relative permittivity theoretical value can be as follows:

[0115]

[0116] In the above formula, , is the seawater salinity (i.e., the seawater salt content), is the seawater temperature, is the electromagnetic wave frequency, is the complex permittivity of seawater (i.e., the seawater relative permittivity theoretical value in the present embodiment), is the static permittivity of seawater. is the dielectric constant of seawater at infinite frequency, which can be considered not affected by temperature and salt content, and has a value of 4.9. is the relaxation time, representing the time taken by seawater to complete the polarization process from the start. is the ionic conductivity of dissolved salt in seawater, with a unit of mho / m. i is the imaginary unit.

[0117] , , The relationship between and the seawater temperature and the seawater salinity can be represented by the Stogryn model (i.e., a semi-empirical model for calculating electromagnetic parameters such as the dielectric constant of seawater, saltwater, etc., which is an extension of the seawater Debye model framework) as follows:

[0118]

[0119]

[0120]

[0121] In the embodiment, the seawater and the oil are distinguished according to the relative dielectric constant value, the relative dielectric constant of the seawater can be represented by the Fresnel reflection coefficient, the Fresnel reflection coefficient of the vertical polarization The Fresnel reflection coefficient of the horizontal polarization can be represented as a function of the relative dielectric constant , as shown in the following formula:

[0122]

[0123]

[0124] wherein, represents the elevation angle, represents the relative dielectric constant of the medium.

[0125] Since the polarization mode of the GNSS satellite signal is RHCP, the polarization mode of the GNSS receiver signal is LHCP, and the Fresnel reflection coefficient of the mirror surface reflection point (i.e. the reflection point of the GNSS signal irradiated to the seawater area) can be represented as:

[0126]

[0127] The left-handed reflectivity can be represented as:

[0128]

[0129] That is, the square of the Fresnel reflection coefficient is the left-handed reflectivity.

[0130] The above formula can be obtained by comprehensively combining the above formula:

[0131]

[0132] The left-handed reflectivity theoretical value is the theoretical value of the seawater dielectric constant, and the left-handed reflectivity theoretical value can be obtained by substituting the theoretical value of the seawater dielectric constant and the satellite elevation angle when observing the seawater into the above formula.

[0133] Step 104: determining the correction coefficient corresponding to the target sea area based on the left-handed reflectivity observation value and the left-handed reflectivity theoretical value, the correction coefficient being used for correcting the dielectric constant for distinguishing the seawater and the oil film. ​

[0134] After obtaining the left-handed reflectivity observation value and the left-handed reflectivity theoretical value, a correction coefficient of the target sea area can be determined based on the left-handed reflectivity observation value and the left-handed reflectivity theoretical value, and the correction coefficient can be used to correct the dielectric constant for distinguishing seawater and oil film. Specifically, a ratio between the left-handed reflectivity theoretical value and the left-handed reflectivity observation value can be calculated, and the ratio is determined as the correction coefficient.

[0135] In a specific implementation, based on the formula in the above step 103, it can be derived that the influence of the calibration error of the same sensor in the similar environment is the same in different target areas, and in order to eliminate the influence of the calibration error, a proportional correction coefficient C is defined, and the formula is as follows:

[0136]

[0137] In the above formula, is the left-handed reflectivity observation value, is the left-handed reflectivity theoretical value.

[0138] The GNSS-R sea surface oil film detection correction coefficient determination method provided by the embodiments of the present application can calculate the correction coefficient by introducing the seawater area reference data, correct the dielectric constant for distinguishing seawater and oil film, thereby effectively reducing the influence of the calibration error, more truly reflecting the dielectric constant distribution of the detection area, and improving the accuracy of oil-water differentiation.

[0139] After obtaining the correction coefficient of the target sea area, the relative dielectric constant of the target sea area can be corrected, so as to determine the oil film detection result of the to-be-measured area according to the corrected dielectric constant. The implementation process can be described in detail in combination with the following specific implementation manners.

[0140] In a specific implementation of the present application, after the above step 104, the following can also be included:

[0141] Step C1: obtaining the target GNSS direct signal power and the target GNSS reflected signal power of the to-be-measured area of the target sea area, and the corresponding satellite elevation angle.

[0142] In the embodiments, when the oil film detection is performed on a certain area of the target sea area, the target GNSS direct signal power and the target GNSS reflected signal power of the to-be-measured area of the target sea area, and the corresponding satellite elevation angle can be obtained.

[0143] Step C2: determining the target left-handed reflectivity based on the target GNSS direct signal power and the target GNSS reflected signal power.

[0144] After obtaining the target GNSS direct signal power and the target GNSS reflected signal power, the target left-handed reflectivity can be determined based on the target GNSS direct signal power and the target GNSS reflected signal power. That is, the target left-handed reflectivity = target GNSS reflected signal power / target GNSS direct signal power.

[0145] Step C3: determining the relative permittivity corresponding to the to-be-measured area based on the target left-handed reflectivity, the satellite elevation angle and the correction coefficient.

[0146] After obtaining the target left-handed reflectivity, the relative permittivity corresponding to the to-be-measured area can be determined based on the target left-handed reflectivity, the satellite elevation angle and the correction coefficient. Specifically, the relative permittivity can be calculated based on the following formula (1):

[0147] (1)

[0148] In the above formula (1), is the relative permittivity, is the target left-handed reflectivity, is the satellite elevation angle, is the correction coefficient.

[0149] Step C4: determining the oil film detection result of the to-be-measured area according to the relative permittivity.

[0150] After obtaining the relative permittivity, the oil film detection result of the to-be-measured area can be determined according to the relative permittivity. Specifically, a threshold range of the relative permittivity of an oil film and a threshold range of the relative permittivity of seawater can be set in advance, and according to the threshold range in which the corrected relative permittivity is located, the oil film detection result of the to-be-measured area, i.e., whether the to-be-measured area has an oil film, can be determined.

[0151] The embodiments of the present application use the GNSS-R technology to inverse the oil spill area on the sea surface, and the direct signal power, the reflected signal power and the incident angle obtained by detection in combination with the reference data of seawater temperature and seawater salinity can obtain the dielectric constant after correction and scaling error. This method can effectively reduce the influence of scaling error by introducing reference data, and more truly reflect the dielectric constant distribution of the detection area.

[0152] In order to verify the above technical solutions, the embodiments of the present application have made related experiments, which are as follows:

[0153] The receiver used in the experiment has eight channels, which can receive the signals of GNSS satellite constellation in all observable angles (including GPS, BDS, GAL). The azimuth angle range is ±90°, the signal receiving frequency is 1 Hz, and the duration of each data receiving is about 1.5 hours. The receiver antenna adopts a fixed gain mode.

[0154] The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0155] 1. Data acquisition and preprocessing. Obtain the GNSS direct signal power and reflected signal power of the mirror reflection point in the continuous detection period and their corresponding elevation angles, screen the data falling within the target area and having an elevation angle greater than 40°, measure the reference data of the seawater area not covered by the oil film, and the seawater temperature is 27℃ and the seawater salinity is 31‰.

[0156] 2. Calculate and correct the dielectric constant. Calculate the left-handed reflectivity of the mirror reflection point from the direct signal power and the reflected signal power, and together with the elevation angle, substitute it into the last formula in step 103 to obtain the uncorrected relative dielectric constant of the mirror reflection point. Substitute the seawater temperature and seawater salinity reference data of the seawater area into the Debye model and Stogryn model to obtain the theoretical value of the seawater relative dielectric constant as 70.7885, and substitute this theoretical value as the correction parameter of the seawater relative dielectric constant into the last formula in step 103 to obtain the reference left-handed reflectivity, and then substitute it into the first step in step 104 together with the left-handed reflectivity to obtain the correction coefficient. Substitute this correction coefficient into the above formula (1) to obtain the dielectric constant value of other areas after correcting and scaling the error in other detection areas, and the dielectric constant mean value of the oil film covered area is 17.5592.

[0157] 3. The reflectivity of the static water surface covered with oil film will show a downward trend after the signal is refracted and attenuated by the oil film. According to the approximate distribution of the oil film in the experimental scene and the oil film reflectivity distribution in the oil spill detection pool, the area of is considered as the area covered with oil film. The corrected data of the seawater area without oil film is taken as the theoretical value to correct the oil film data, and the relative dielectric constant of the oil film area is obtained. Through the test, it can be determined that the relative dielectric constant of the oil area and the seawater area is significantly different. In order to quantify the degree of this difference, the absolute value of the effect size can be calculated as (95% confidence interval [2.9025, 3.0423]), which is far beyond the effect threshold , which indicates that there is a very significant difference between the two groups, and the small range of confidence interval also emphasizes the robustness and reliability of this difference. Further combined with the probability histogram of the corrected dielectric constant of seawater and oil, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the horizontal axis represents the dielectric constant, and the vertical axis represents the probability (i.e., the frequency of occurrence of oil or seawater samples in the corresponding dielectric constant interval, i.e., the proportion of the number of samples in the interval to the total number of samples), the seawater region data is mainly concentrated in the range of 60-90, and the oil region data is concentrated in the range of 0-30, the distribution range of the two is small, and the dielectric constant of the seawater region is significantly higher than that of the oil region. This distribution characteristic is consistent with the above effect quantity analysis result, that is, the dielectric constant of the seawater and oil film regions is significantly different, and the oil and water can be effectively distinguished.

[0158] The embodiment of the present application can distinguish seawater and oil film covered regions while correcting the scaling error by referring to the data, thereby providing a more accurate technical idea and method for GNSS-R sea surface oil spill detection.
