Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fire alarm technology, and in particular to a method, device, equipment, and storage medium for alarming weak forest and grassland fires. Background Technology

[0002] Because the thermal radiation brightness temperature of weak wildfires in their initial stages is low, even lower than that of strongly warming ground features such as clouds, bare rocks, sand and gravel, land, and valleys, existing remote sensing image-based forest fire identification technology frameworks are unable to identify weak forest and grassland fires. Currently, technology for identifying high-temperature ground heat sources based on absolute thermal radiation brightness temperature indices is relatively mature, but technology for forecasting forest fires based on "hotspots" is still immature. The industry generally uses visual interpretation and manual methods, relying on false-color images and bright red spots formed by high-temperature heat sources to identify and extract forest fires with high-temperature heat source effects; simultaneously, based on slightly reddish or dark red image spots in low-temperature background forest areas, it identifies forest fires without high-temperature heat source effects that are in their early stages of development. Current automatic hotspot extraction and monitoring technologies for forest and grassland fires often include a large number of non-forest fire land types in their hotspot sets, such as cloud reflections, bare rocks (bare ground), urban (town) heat islands, beaches, dry and hot river valleys, agricultural fires, and industrial heat sources. Because too many small fires are missed and too many false alarms (mistaking ordinary heat sources for forest fires) are made, the system cannot meet the needs of industry departments for early warning issuance, field verification and disposal, and emergency command, and therefore cannot be promoted and applied in actual work.

[0003] The "hotspot" identification method is effective for identifying "high-temperature forest fires," but many "low-temperature forest fires" may have a radiation brightness temperature below 315 K, rendering the hotspot identification method ineffective. Current "hotspot" identification theories and methods are unsuitable for identifying "low-temperature forest fires." Furthermore, the "high-temperature forest fires" identified by the "hotspot" identification algorithm are deeply confused with other heat sources, necessitating the exploration of more effective technical methods to address this issue. In fact, "low-temperature forest fires" include forest fires in their early stages. Forest fires located on shady slopes, in dense vegetation areas, and in valleys, as well as those with small burned areas, do not possess the characteristics of high-temperature heat sources. From the development process of forest fire ignition, combustion, and spread, the occurrence and development of a forest fire must go through a process of low temperature, short fireline, and small area. The characteristics of all forest fire occurrence and development determine that they always exist as a "fireline" strip several meters wide, gradually spreading and advancing towards the surrounding areas. When the length of a "fireline" with high-temperature characteristics reaches the kilometer level, its fireline area only occupies a few thousandths of the area of ​​a 1 km mixed pixel. For initial fires and small fires, the area proportion is even smaller. For forest fires in their development stage, although they have a certain burned area, the burned area is small. When they are located in densely vegetated forest areas, shady slopes, thick and dense forests, or virgin forests, the overall thermal radiation value of the pixels is extinguished, blocked, or masked due to the low background brightness temperature. Their thermal radiation brightness temperature cannot reach the level of a "high-temperature heat source," exhibiting low-temperature characteristics. When using 1 km pixel remote sensing data to represent and detect forest fires, only when the fireline and burned area in the mixed pixels are sufficiently large, and the background temperature is relatively high, can the forest fire appear as a "high-temperature heat source" on the ground and a "hot spot" on the remote sensing image. In short, "low-temperature forest fires" are a necessary process in the development of forest fires and represent a form of forest fire existence for some species. Identifying these fires is a major challenge in satellite forest fire monitoring, and research in this area is limited. Summary of the Invention

[0081] To more clearly explain this application, specific examples of weak forest and grassland fire alarms are provided below:

[0082] Step 1: Data Acquisition

[0083] Download the BIO1 product from the WorldClim version 2 global climate and meteorological dataset at https: / / worldclim.org to obtain global annual average temperature data with a spatial resolution of 1 km. After cropping, extract multi-year annual average temperature data for a specific location. Download the 12 m spatial resolution ALOS DEM digital terrain model for the location from the geospatial data cloud website. Download MODIS remote sensing imagery of the region at the target time.

[0084] Step 2: Computer simulation and representation of instantaneous surface temperature field data synchronized with optical satellites to form surface temperature baseline field data:

[0085] The target time is read from the MODIS satellite image header file. The surface temperature baseline field at the target time is calculated using the authorized invention patent "A Method for Constructing a Temporal Baseline of a Surface Temperature Field (Patent No.: ZL 202011327172.1)", with a spatial resolution of 1 km. The predefined target spatial resolution for sub-pixel decomposition is 10 m. The surface temperature baseline field with a 1 km spatial resolution is decomposed into a 10 m surface temperature baseline field using the sub-pixel decomposition method of "A Sub-pixel Decomposition and Enhancement Method for Digital Images (Patent No.: ZL200710066071.1)". Figure 3 As shown.

[0086] Step 3: Calculate the instantaneous surface temperature field using satellite thermal infrared spectral data:

[0087] Using MODIS imagery in band 7 as the primary data, and based on Planck's law, the instantaneous surface temperature field of MODIS was retrieved using a known single-wavelength brightness temperature correction method. This data has a spatial resolution of 1 km. Figure 4 As shown.

[0088] The instantaneous surface temperature field at 1 km resolution was decomposed into sub-pixel values ​​and interpolated to obtain an instantaneous surface temperature field at 10 m resolution. First, ALOS-12 m topographic data at 12 m resolution was obtained. The ALOS DEM was resampled to a spatial resolution of 10 m using conventional GIS bilinear interpolation. Second, using the aforementioned instantaneous surface temperature field at 1000 m resolution as input data, the instantaneous surface temperature field at 1 km resolution was decomposed into a spatial resolution of 10 m using a method for decomposing and enhancing sub-pixel values ​​of digital images (patent number: ZL200710066071.1). Third, slope aspect grids were extracted from the 10 m spatial resolution DEM data, and a 3×3 (or 5×5 or 7×7) sliding window was set to calculate the maximum elevation difference and slope aspect difference data of the pixels within the window. Finally, the data was calculated based on an elevation difference of 100 m and a temperature difference of 0.6 m. The rule is that for every 10° change in slope aspect, the temperature changes by 0.001°. The instantaneous surface temperature field with a spatial resolution of 10m is then subjected to a grid addition operation with a grid multiplied by 0.6 for elevation difference and 0.001 for slope aspect difference, to obtain the interpolated and corrected instantaneous surface temperature field with a spatial resolution of 10m.

[0089] Step 4: Calculate the sub-pixel thermal increment image:

[0090] The difference between the interpolated instantaneous surface temperature field and the 10 m surface temperature baseline field is calculated to obtain a sub-pixel thermal increment image. The image is then mapped using red-to-blue symbols, arranged from highest to lowest increment size, following the conventional GIS natural breakpoint method. The result is shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the red spots in the image represent weak fire, and the sub-pixel thermal increment image represents the initial ignition with weak heating, compared to... Figure 4 In comparison, 17 small fires were rediscovered.

[0091] Step 5: Sub-pixel thermal increment color synthesis:

[0092] Using the first and second bands of the concurrent MODIS satellite imagery as input, the images of the first and second bands were resampled using a method for sub-pixel decomposition and enhancement of digital images (patent number: ZL200710066071.1), generating images with a resolution of 10 m. Using the sub-pixel thermal increment image as the red channel, the first band after sub-pixel decomposition as the green channel, and the second band after sub-pixel decomposition as the blue channel, a false-color image was synthesized using an RGB color synthesis mode. The red spots then represent ground-level forest and grassland fires. Figure 6 As shown, compared with existing technologies, the top left and middle images are from the Southern Satellite Center system; the bottom left and right images are from weak fire monitoring, with white circles indicating newly added weak fires identified by this technology.

[0093] In this embodiment, a novel method for identifying "low-temperature forest fires" is based on the ground temperature field baseline and utilizes pixel temperature increment and pattern change characterization. Compared to high-temperature heat sources and other strongly reflective or high-radiation ground features, only ground features with "fire" characteristics (including clouds) experience sudden warming or changes in temperature patterns. Other features such as bare rock, urban heat islands, beaches, canyons, and industrial heat sources remain constant on the ground, regardless of their temperature. Therefore, by comparing temperature fields, sudden "fires" can be identified, with the ground temperature field baseline serving as the best benchmark. In fact, the ground temperature field baseline depicts the average temperature and spatial pattern relationships of various ground features. It is the result of the combined effects and characterization of factors such as altitude, slope, aspect, longitude, latitude, and the thermal radiation characteristics of ground features, and is also influenced by atmospheric medium and airflow, solar thermal radiation, etc. Assuming no abrupt changes in terrain features (unless there are earthquakes or large-scale land reclamation projects) and no surface fires, the spatial pattern of surface temperature is statistically steady-state. Classical studies also show that vertical lapse rate, horizontal lapse rate, and aspect effect rate are variables that characterize the stability of spatial patterns. Under the influence of atmospheric circulation and solar radiation, the warming and cooling patterns at each pixel are consistent, but the steady-state variables, such as the vertical and horizontal lapse rates, remain almost unchanged.

[0094] In practical applications, assuming that the ground (instantaneous) thermal radiation temperature field A obtained by remote sensing is statistically consistent with the instantaneous (remote sensing) baseline field B, a suitable function F can be found through individual calibration points such that F(A) = B. In other words, the information represented by F(A) - B is the amount of change in thermal radiation brightness temperature with a significant increment or spatial pattern. Excluding noise, the point of change expressed by F(A) - B is the fire point. Therefore, the main task of this invention is to identify weak fires by utilizing the relative change indicators and characteristics of brightness temperature in the spatial or frequency domains. This is a pioneering work with significant theoretical and practical value. By constructing a ground instantaneous thermal radiation brightness temperature baseline field synchronized with remote sensing, and using this as a benchmark to simulate and reconstruct sub-pixel thermal increment images, based on the characteristics of abrupt changes in thermal increment and the thermal steady-state characteristics of forest and grassland distribution areas, early forest fires can be characterized and identified. This enables the identification of weak fire points that are difficult to detect within a single pixel of meteorological satellites such as MODIS, effectively improving the monitoring efficiency and accuracy of fire points and enhancing the technological level of forest fire monitoring.

[0095] Therefore, this invention takes a different approach, breaking through the limitations of existing theoretical methods and technical paradigms in remote sensing image processing. It proposes a theoretical method for reconstructing sub-pixel thermal increment remote sensing images, which is used to characterize weak forest and grassland fires with abrupt changes in spatiotemporal patterns. This increases the identifiability of weak wildfires from below 15% to over 85%. It can significantly reduce the construction and maintenance investment in ground-based monitoring, such as manual patrols and lookout observations, ground visible light video and thermal infrared monitoring, large aircraft and near-ground UAV inspections, thermal sensing IoT detection, and network transmission.
