Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of remote sensing monitoring, and particularly relates to a grassland degradation monitoring method based on remote sensing monitoring. BACKGROUND
[0002] The health and sustainable development of grassland ecosystems are of critical importance to maintaining global ecological balance, supporting pastoral economies, and addressing climate change. Grassland degradation not only affects ecological functions, but also threatens regional economies and food security. However, existing methods for monitoring grassland degradation often rely on a single data source or simple indicators, making it difficult to capture the complex dynamic changes of grassland ecosystems, especially in complex terrain, human activity interference, and multi-seasonal scenarios. The monitoring accuracy and spatial and temporal coverage are insufficient. This results in a lack of comprehensiveness and reliability in degradation assessment results, making it difficult to meet the needs of scientific management and precise restoration.
[0003] In grassland degradation monitoring, the core challenge is how to effectively integrate multi-source remote sensing data and extract feature parameters that can reflect the dynamic changes of grassland ecology. Different remote sensing data (such as optical images, radar images, and thermal infrared images) have their own physical characteristics, with significant differences in resolution and observation period. The radiation consistency and terrain adaptability of collaborative processing of these data become the primary problem. Relying solely on a single data source or traditional processing methods cannot accurately capture the comprehensive characteristics of grassland vegetation, soil, and human disturbance. The spatio-temporal heterogeneity of these characteristics further exacerbates the problem, and static or single feature extraction cannot reflect the dynamic evolution of continuous growing seasons, resulting in a lack of refinement and dynamization in degradation grade classification.
[0004] Therefore, how to integrate multi-source and multi-temporal remote sensing data, extract dynamic features reflecting grassland vegetation, soil, and human disturbance, and achieve the fusion of spatio-temporal features and the accurate classification of degradation grades through deep learning models has become a key problem in grassland degradation monitoring and evaluation.

[0048] The embodiment proposes a grassland degradation monitoring method based on remote sensing monitoring, as shown in the figure, specifically comprising the following steps: Figure 1
[0049] Obtaining multi-source remote sensing data;
[0050] Preprocessing the multi-source remote sensing data to obtain the preprocessed remote sensing data;
[0051] Extracting multi-dimensional feature parameters based on the preprocessed remote sensing data to obtain a multi-dimensional feature parameter set;
[0052] Through the multi-dimensional feature parameter set, combining multi-temporal observation data, time series analysis is performed on vegetation dynamic characteristics, soil dynamic characteristics and human disturbance characteristics to construct a dynamic characteristic time series data set;
[0053] According to the dynamic characteristic time series data set, a convolutional neural network model is used to deeply fuse the spatial features and time sequence changes in the time series to generate a spatio-temporal fusion feature set;
[0054] According to the spatio-temporal fusion feature set, a degradation grade division result map is obtained;
[0055] Based on the degradation grade division result map, multi-source remote sensing data is integrated to obtain a refined grassland degradation evaluation result, and according to the evaluation result, the grassland degradation is monitored.
[0056] Specifically, the present application collects multi-source remote sensing data, performs radiation correction and terrain adaptability correction, and extracts multi-dimensional feature parameters. Time series analysis is performed in combination with multi-temporal observation data to construct a dynamic characteristic time series data set. The convolutional neural network model is used to deeply fuse the spatio-temporal features to generate a spatio-temporal fusion feature set. According to the feature change trend, the potential degradation area is determined, and the historical data and environmental factors are combined for multi-dimensional verification to determine the final degradation area distribution. The degradation degree is classified by cluster analysis, and finally a refined grassland degradation evaluation report is output, and according to the evaluation result, the grassland degradation is monitored. The present application realizes the accurate monitoring of grassland degradation in complex terrain area, and provides a scientific basis for grassland ecological protection and sustainable utilization.
[0057] Further, the multi-source remote sensing data includes optical image data, radar image data and thermal infrared image data.
[0058] Further, the multi-source remote sensing data is preprocessed to obtain preprocessed remote sensing data, including:
[0059] A radiative transfer model is used to perform radiometric correction on the multi-source remote sensing data to obtain a radiometrically corrected data set.
[0060] A digital elevation model is used to perform terrain analysis on the radiometrically corrected data set to calculate terrain slope and aspect, obtaining terrain feature parameters.
[0061] The shadow distribution of complex terrain regions is calculated based on the terrain feature parameters and the solar elevation angle to determine the shadow-affected area.
[0062] According to the shadow-affected area, a terrain adaptability correction data set is generated.
[0063] Specifically, for example, in the processing of multi-source remote sensing data, it is assumed that the original data set of optical images, radar images and thermal infrared images from different satellites is obtained through a data acquisition platform. The optical images may come from a high-resolution satellite with a resolution of 2 meters and a timestamp of May 10, 2023; the radar images come from a synthetic aperture radar satellite with a resolution of 10 meters and the same timestamp; the thermal infrared images have a resolution of 30 meters and a slightly different timestamp. These data are extracted through standardized interface protocols to obtain metadata such as imaging time, sensor parameters, etc., forming a multi-source original data set. Specifically, for radiometric correction, a radiative transfer model is used to process the three types of images. When correcting the optical images, the effects of atmospheric scattering and absorption are considered to convert the digital values of the images to ground reflectance; when correcting the radar images, the effects of terrain undulations on echo intensity are considered; and when correcting the thermal infrared images, temperature radiation values are calibrated to generate a radiometrically corrected data set. This step ensures the consistency of the data in the radiometric layer, laying the foundation for subsequent fusion.
[0064] For example, in the resolution difference processing, it is assumed that the resolution of the optical images is 2 meters, while the resolution of the thermal infrared images is 30 meters. Through a spatial interpolation algorithm such as bilinear interpolation, the low-resolution images are resampled to 2 meters to generate a data set with consistent spatial resolution. This improves the comparability of the data in the spatial scale. Specifically, in the geometric registration step, a feature point-based algorithm is used to spatially align the multi-source images. For example, ground control points are selected, and a transformation matrix is used to correct image shifts to ultimately obtain a geometrically corrected unified data set, ensuring spatial correspondence at the pixel level.
[0065] For example, in data fusion, a principal component analysis algorithm is used to extract color features from optical images, texture features from radar images, and temperature features from thermal infrared images to generate a fusion feature data set. This step effectively integrates multi-source information, highlights key features, and improves data expression capability. Specifically, for optimization of the fusion feature data set, an autoencoder model is used for data compression.
[0066] For example, high-dimensional features are compressed to a preset dimension, such as from 100 dimensions to 20 dimensions, to obtain an optimized feature dataset. This not only reduces storage requirements, but also improves subsequent analysis efficiency.
[0067] For example, if the dimension of the optimized feature dataset meets a threshold, such as being less than 30 dimensions, it is saved to a distributed database through a data storage interface to form a final unified radiation correction dataset. This storage method supports efficient querying and large-scale data management, providing reliable data support for subsequent applications such as disaster monitoring and land use analysis. Through the above process, each technical link is closely linked, ensuring the consistency and availability of data from collection to storage, significantly improving the application value of remote sensing data.
[0068] Further, based on the preprocessed remote sensing data, multi-dimensional feature parameters are extracted to obtain a multi-dimensional feature parameter set, including:
[0069] A principal component analysis algorithm is used to extract principal components from the preprocessed remote sensing data, reducing the dimensionality to obtain a multi-dimensional feature parameter set.
[0070] Further, through the multi-dimensional feature parameter set, combined with multi-temporal observation data, time series analysis is performed on vegetation dynamic characteristics, soil dynamic characteristics, and human disturbance characteristics to construct a dynamic characteristic time series dataset, including:
[0071] Through multi-temporal observation, multi-temporal observation data of vegetation, soil, and human disturbance are obtained;
[0072] Data fusion technology is used to integrate the multi-temporal observation data to generate an integrated dataset;
[0073] The integrated dataset is processed through a time series analysis method to generate the change trend of vegetation dynamic characteristics, soil dynamic characteristics, and human disturbance characteristics;
[0074] According to the change trend, a sliding window method is used to calculate the dynamic change rate of vegetation dynamic characteristics and soil dynamic characteristics to obtain a dynamic change rate sequence;
[0075] Based on the dynamic change rate sequence and the change trend of human disturbance characteristics, a correlation analysis method is used to determine the dynamic characteristic time series dataset.
[0076] Specifically, multi-dimensional feature parameter data of vegetation, soil, and human disturbance are obtained through multi-temporal observation. Remote sensing images combined with ground sensor data are used to collect vegetation coverage, soil moisture content, and human disturbance intensity, such as urban expansion or agricultural activity impact, at different time points. Assuming that in a certain area, Sentinel-2 satellite images in spring and autumn show that the vegetation coverage is 60% and 45%, respectively, and the soil moisture content is 30% and 25%, respectively. The human disturbance intensity is quantified by the amount of night light data, which is 0.4 in spring and 0.6 in autumn. This multi-temporal data forms the original data set, reflecting the dynamic changes in the time dimension.
[0077] In one possible implementation, when integrating multi-temporal data sets, the data fusion technology can use a weighted average method to align data from different sources, such as satellite images and ground station data, according to time stamps. For example, for vegetation coverage, the spectral data of the fused image and the ground measured data are combined to generate a unified multi-dimensional feature parameter set, ensuring data consistency. If there are missing values in the data set, such as missing soil moisture content data at a certain time point, the missing value can be calculated based on the values at the previous and subsequent time points (e.g., 28% and 26%) using linear interpolation, resulting in 27%, thereby completing the data set. Specifically, principal component analysis algorithm can be used to extract vegetation dynamic features, soil dynamic features, and human disturbance features. For example, the analysis results may show that vegetation coverage and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) are the principal components, with a contribution rate of 70%, reflecting the dynamic changes of vegetation; soil moisture content and electrical conductivity are the principal components, with a contribution rate of 65%, reflecting the dynamic characteristics of soil; and human disturbance features are extracted through light intensity and land use changes, with a contribution rate of 60%. These features form the feature extraction results after dimension reduction, reducing the computational complexity of subsequent analysis. For example, time series analysis can process the feature extraction results through an autoregressive model to generate a trend. Assuming that the vegetation coverage decreases from 60% to 50% in 6 months, the soil moisture content decreases from 30% to 24%, and the human disturbance intensity increases from 0.4 to 0.7, trend analysis can reveal the seasonal changes of vegetation and soil and the growth trend of human disturbance. When calculating the dynamic change rate using a sliding window method, a 3-month window can be set to calculate the vegetation coverage change rate (e.g., a decrease of 3% per month) and the soil moisture content change rate (e.g., a decrease of 2% per month), generating a dynamic change rate sequence. In one possible implementation, the correlation analysis method can evaluate the influence weight of human disturbance on vegetation and soil dynamic features through the Pearson correlation coefficient. For example, the analysis shows that the correlation coefficient between human disturbance intensity and vegetation coverage change rate is -0.85, and the correlation coefficient between human disturbance intensity and soil moisture content change rate is -0.78, indicating that human disturbance has a significant negative impact on both. The weight can be allocated accordingly, such as human disturbance affecting vegetation with a weight of 0.6 and soil with a weight of 0.4. This analysis helps to quantify the impact of human activities on the ecosystem and provides a basis for subsequent management.
[0078] Further, according to the dynamic feature time series data set, the spatial features and time sequence changes in the time series are deeply fused by using a convolutional neural network model to generate a spatio-temporal fusion feature set, including:
[0079] According to the dynamic feature time series data set, a convolutional neural network model is used to process the dynamic features, extract spatial feature information, and determine the spatial distribution pattern;
[0080] According to the spatial distribution pattern, the time sequence change rule is analyzed, the change trend in the time series is fused, and the time sequence change feature is obtained;
[0081] If the fluctuation amplitude of the time sequence change feature exceeds the preset threshold, the change trend is smoothed to obtain stable time sequence change data;
[0082] The stable time sequence change data and the spatial distribution pattern are deeply fused to generate a spatio-temporal fusion feature set.
[0083] Specifically, by processing the time series data set, dynamic feature information of vegetation coverage, soil moisture, and human activity intensity can be obtained. Assuming that in an agricultural area, satellite remote sensing data is used, vegetation index, soil reflectance, and land use change data are collected every 10 days, the time span is one year, and there are 36 groups of data. The preliminary data structure can be a table containing time stamp, vegetation index, soil moisture, and human activity intensity, constituting a basic data framework. This framework facilitates subsequent analysis and ensures the continuity of data in the time dimension.
[0084] In one possible implementation, a convolutional neural network model is employed to extract spatial feature information. For vegetation coverage and soil moisture data, a multi-channel convolutional neural network is designed, with each channel processing the spatial data of vegetation and soil respectively. For example, the region is divided into 100x100 meter grids, and each grid point contains vegetation index and soil moisture values. The convolutional neural network captures the boundary changes of vegetation coverage or the spatial heterogeneity of soil moisture between grids through convolution kernels, generating spatial distribution patterns. Such patterns can reflect the gradient changes of vegetation coverage from the center of farmland to the edge of the transition zone, or the distribution differences of soil moisture between irrigated and non-irrigated areas. Specifically, when analyzing the temporal variation law, the spatial distribution pattern can be combined with time series data to identify the periodic changes of vegetation coverage or soil moisture. For example, the vegetation index in spring may rise from 0.3 to 0.6, reflecting the crop growth cycle, while soil moisture may increase from 20% to 35% after rainfall. By Fourier transform or autoregressive model, the seasonal variation trend is extracted, and the change characteristics in the time series are fused. If it is found that the vegetation index fluctuation amplitude exceeds the preset threshold of 0.2 in a certain period of time, indicating that it may be affected by extreme weather, then the moving average method is used for smoothing processing to generate stable time series change data. This smoothing processing can reduce noise interference and highlight long-term trends, facilitating subsequent analysis. In one embodiment, the construction of spatio-temporal fusion features can be achieved by combining stable time series change data with spatial distribution patterns. For example, the spatial gradient of vegetation coverage is superimposed with the seasonal variation trend to generate a three-dimensional feature matrix containing time, spatial coordinates, and feature values. This integrated feature representation can fully describe the dynamic variation law of vegetation and soil in the region. When verifying consistency, the correlation coefficient between the integrated feature representation and the original time series data set can be calculated. For example, a correlation coefficient of 0.9 or higher indicates that the fused features effectively retain the information of the original data. The final fused feature set can be used for subsequent monitoring or prediction to provide data support for agricultural management. It should be noted that each step of the above method is closely related to the analysis of vegetation and soil dynamic features, and the generated fused feature set has good spatio-temporal consistency. This consistency helps to accurately identify the dynamic variation law in agricultural areas and provides a basis for optimizing resource allocation. For example, irrigation plans can be adjusted according to the spatial distribution and temporal variation of soil moisture to reduce water waste.
[0085] Further, according to the spatio-temporal fusion feature set, obtaining the degradation level division result map includes:
[0086] According to the spatio-temporal fusion feature set, obtaining a preliminary degradation area distribution map;
[0087] Through the preliminary degradation area distribution map, combined with historical data and regional environmental factors, the potential degradation area is verified in multiple dimensions to determine the final degradation area distribution map;
[0088] According to the final degradation area distribution map, the degradation degree is classified by using a clustering analysis method, and a degradation grade division result map is generated.
[0089] Specifically, by obtaining basic information from the preliminary degradation area distribution map, the distribution map is segmented by using image processing technology, and the degradation area features required for preliminary analysis are extracted, and the preliminary divided area range is obtained.
[0090] According to the preliminary divided area range, the corresponding historical data is obtained, and the historical data is compared with the current area features by using data matching technology to determine whether there is a significant deviation. If the comparison result exceeds the preset threshold, the area range is adjusted, and the corrected area boundary is determined.
[0091] For the corrected area boundary, relevant environmental factor data is obtained, and the environmental factors and area boundary information are integrated by using data fusion technology to obtain a comprehensive influence factor data set.
[0092] According to the comprehensive influence factor data set, a random forest algorithm is used to classify and predict potential areas, to determine which areas have a high risk of degradation, and to determine a potential degradation area list.
[0093] Through the potential degradation area list, the data sources required for multidimensional verification are obtained, and the cross verification of environmental factors and historical data is performed for each potential area. If the verification result meets the preset condition, it is marked as a high-risk area, and a verified area set is obtained.
[0094] According to the verified area set, combined with the area distribution information, the boundary of the high-risk area is optimized by using a spatial analysis tool to generate a final degradation area distribution map.
[0095] More specifically, the data of the final degradation area distribution map is obtained, the feature information of the degradation area is extracted by digitizing the distribution map, and a preliminary degradation feature data set is obtained.
[0096] For the preliminary degradation feature data set, a clustering analysis method is used to classify and process the degradation degree, to determine the category distribution of different degradation degrees, and to form a degradation degree classification result.
[0097] According to the degradation degree classification result, combined with the preset grade standard, each category is classified and processed to determine the grade division of the degradation degree, and a degradation grade data set is obtained.
[0098] If the category boundary in the degradation grade data set is not clear, the degradation features are analyzed again to adjust the classification boundary, and the final grade division result is determined.
[0099] For the final classification results, image generation techniques are used to combine degradation levels and regional classification to generate visual images of degradation level distribution.
[0100] According to the generated visual image, the rationality of regional classification is verified, and if it is found that part of the regional classification does not match the degradation characteristics, the data classification logic is re-adjusted to obtain an optimized result diagram.
[0101] By formatting the optimized result diagram, the image data is converted into a standard output form to determine the final degradation level classification result diagram.
[0102] Further, based on the degradation level classification result diagram, multi-source remote sensing data is integrated to obtain a refined grassland degradation evaluation result, including:
[0103] The spatial distribution image is obtained by using a spatial interpolation method to process the degradation level classification result diagram;
[0104] Through the spatial distribution image, the spatial variation trend of the degradation level is extracted, and a clustering analysis method is used to identify the hot spot area to determine the hot spot area set;
[0105] According to the hot spot area set, time series data is obtained to analyze the change trend of the degradation level with time to obtain dynamic change characteristics;
[0106] According to the dynamic change characteristics, a data fusion method is used to integrate multi-source data and spatial distribution images to generate a refined evaluation report containing degradation levels, hot spot areas and change trends, and the report content is output.
[0107] Specifically, for example, when obtaining remote sensing images, meteorological data and soil parameters from multi-source data, Landsat images can be obtained through satellite remote sensing, combined with rainfall records of meteorological stations and soil humidity sensor data to form an initial data set. The data cleaning method can use outlier detection to remove cloud cover noise in the image or extreme values in the meteorological data. For example, set the rainfall threshold to 0 to 500 mm, and remove the abnormal data outside the range to obtain a standardized data set. This cleaning ensures data consistency and provides a reliable basis for subsequent analysis. In one possible implementation, when extracting dynamic features such as vegetation coverage, soil moisture, and rainfall, vegetation coverage can be calculated by normalized difference vegetation index, assuming that the coverage of a certain area decreases from 0.6 to 0.3, reflecting the degradation trend. Soil moisture can be obtained through sensor data, such as a point with a humidity of 20% and an annual rainfall of 300 mm.
[0108] When using principal component analysis for dimension reduction, these features can be converted into 2 to 3 principal components, retaining more than 90% of the data variance, simplifying the analysis while highlighting key features. For example, for the key feature set, if the vegetation coverage is below the preset threshold of 0.4, combined with the conditions of soil moisture below 25% and rainfall less than 200 mm, the support vector machine algorithm can be used to classify the degradation level.
[0109] Assuming that a certain area meets these conditions, the algorithm classifies it as moderately degraded, generating a distribution result containing light, moderate, and severe degradation. This method clearly classifies the levels through the classification boundary, facilitating subsequent spatial analysis.
[0110] In one possible implementation, the spatial interpolation method can use Kriging interpolation to generate a continuous degradation level distribution map based on existing degradation level data points. For example, the central part of a certain area shows severe degradation, and the edge is lightly degraded, forming a smooth spatial distribution image after interpolation. This image intuitively shows the spatial variation of the degradation level, facilitating the identification of key areas. For example, when extracting the spatial variation trend of the degradation level, the K-means algorithm can be used to identify hotspots by analyzing the trend of degradation decreasing from the center to the edge.
[0111] For example, three hotspots in a certain area show severe degradation, with a coverage rate of less than 0.2 and soil moisture of less than 15%. These hotspot regions provide targets for subsequent dynamic analysis. In one possible implementation, when obtaining time series data of the hotspot regions, the change in vegetation coverage from 0.5 to 0.3 over the past 5 years can be analyzed, combined with the trend of rainfall decreasing from 400 mm to 200 mm, to obtain the dynamic characteristics of the intensifying degradation. This analysis reveals the variation of degradation over time, providing a basis for long-term monitoring. For example, the data fusion method can integrate remote sensing images, hotspots, and trends to generate a refined evaluation report. The report can show that the central part of a certain area is severely degraded, with a coverage rate of less than 0.2, combined with the trend of decreasing rainfall, and propose key management recommendations. This report integrates multi-source information, comprehensively presents the degradation status and dynamic changes, and provides support for decision-making.
[0112] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed in the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
