Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of atmospheric remote sensing monitoring, in particular to a hyperspectral atmospheric methane concentration inversion method and system for a high aerosol scene. BACKGROUND

[0002] Methane is the second largest anthropogenic greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. Methane leakage in the process of underground coal mining and processing, oil and chemical production and transportation can easily form high-concentration point source plume emissions, which not only causes energy waste and environmental pollution, but also exacerbates the greenhouse effect. Therefore, accurate detection and quantification of such methane point source emissions are of great significance to climate change response, environmental protection and sustainable development.

[0003] In the prior art, the methane concentration inversion accuracy is still low, and the following problems exist:

[0004] The current mainstream methane point source inversion relies on statistical methods such as matched filtering and iterative lognormal matched filtering. Such methods assume that the background spectrum is uniform and the methane emission is sparse, and can achieve effective inversion in areas with uniform ground surface and stable atmosphere. However, in coal mine areas and other heterogeneous ground surfaces, the background spectrum is highly heterogeneous, and the background uniformity assumption of statistical methods is invalid, resulting in a significant increase in inversion error.

[0005] In addition, the differential absorption spectroscopy technology is a physical inversion method based on the Lambert-Beer law. Although it has been widely used in medium-resolution satellite and airborne hyperspectral observations, the spectral resolution and signal-to-noise ratio of AHSI (Atmospheric Hyperspectral Imager) are significantly lower than those of specialized greenhouse gas monitoring instruments. The DOAS (Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy) method cannot effectively separate the weak absorption signal of methane from the ground surface radiation background, resulting in large concentration inversion deviation when directly applied, which cannot meet the precise quantification requirements of point sources in coal mine areas. The full-physical inversion method can reduce background interference from the mechanism by modeling the atmospheric radiation transmission of each pixel, and has shown high precision advantage in medium-resolution satellite methane column concentration inversion. However, for AHSI (Atmospheric Hyperspectral Imager) and other hyperspectral satellites, the full-physical method still faces technical challenges: first, the reduced spectral resolution of AHSI (Atmospheric Hyperspectral Imager) leads to a decrease in the calculation accuracy of gas absorption cross section, and a higher resolution absorption coefficient database needs to be constructed; second, the large amount of hyperspectral data makes the iterative optimization calculation of traditional full-physical methods inefficient, which is difficult to adapt to the business inversion of large-scale coal mine areas; third, the state variable system is not optimized for high aerosol scenes, and the variability of un-inverted atmospheric parameters is not included in the error matrix, resulting in insufficient stability of the inversion results.

[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a hyperspectral atmospheric methane concentration retrieval method and system for a high aerosol scene. SUMMARY

[0043] An embodiment of the present application proposes a hyperspectral atmospheric methane concentration inversion method for a high aerosol scene, comprising:

[0044] The prior data acquisition step acquires atmospheric parameter data and multi-band ground surface albedo data of a target area, performs uniform pressure level adaptation processing on the atmospheric parameter data, performs methane short-wave infrared absorption spectrum interpolation processing on the ground surface albedo data, constructs a radiation transmission model through the processed data, and outputs a forward simulation vector;

[0045] The look-up table construction step constructs a short-wave infrared high-spectral optical absorption coefficient look-up table including methane and interfering gases and containing different temperature and pressure conditions based on CLARS-GFIT.

[0046] The forward simulation step constructs a hyperspectral imaging forward simulation model according to the forward simulation vector, corrects the forward simulation model through a GFIT3 model to quantify the influence of high aerosols on radiation transmission, and generates a forward simulation spectrum through convolution processing of the forward simulation spectrum vector in combination with a spectral response function of a hyperspectral sensor.

[0047] The iterative maximum posterior inversion step determines state variables including methane concentration, interfering gas concentration, and spectral parameters, adjusts the state variables through an iterative maximum posterior algorithm, minimizes a cost function of a measured spectrum and the forward simulation spectrum, simplifies the state variables, and includes the influence of un-inverted atmospheric parameters into an error matrix, iteratively solves to convergence, and obtains a methane concentration inversion result.

[0048] Atmospheric and ground surface parameters are important prior data for atmospheric radiation transmission modeling. This embodiment intends to use the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) simulation and MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) inversion product data. The atmospheric parameter data of the research area will be collected according to the observation time (about 11-12 o'clock Beijing time) of GF-5BAHSI (hyperspectral imager). In addition, all the atmospheric parameter data will be interpolated to the uniform pressure layer of the radiation transmission model. The MODIS ground surface albedo product only provides discrete band (0.648, 0.858, 0.470, 0.555, 1.240, 1.640 and 2.13 μm) data, and this embodiment will obtain the ground surface albedo of the CH4 short-wave infrared absorption spectrum through an interpolation method.

[0049] Since the absorption intensity of CH4 and other gas molecules in the atmosphere is affected by both the gas temperature and the gas pressure, this embodiment will use the CLARS-GFIT method to construct a look-up table database of short-wave infrared high-spectral resolution gas optical absorption coefficients including different temperatures and pressures. Thus, in the subsequent calculation of the optical absorption coefficients of atmospheric CH4 and other gases, the results can be quickly obtained through interpolation according to the temperature and pressure.

[0050] Preferably, in the prior data acquisition step, the atmospheric parameter data includes air temperature, atmospheric humidity, trace gas concentration, surface temperature and surface pressure, the unified atmospheric pressure level adaptation processing maps the atmospheric parameter data to the atmospheric pressure level preset by the radiation transfer model, ensuring that each atmospheric parameter matches the model vertical resolution, and the interpolation processing of the multi-band surface albedo data maps the discrete waveband albedo to the methane shortwave infrared absorption spectrum, ensuring that the preprocessed data is directly adapted to the radiation transfer model.

[0051] Specifically, in the lookup table construction step, the interference gas is a gas that affects shortwave infrared spectrum absorption, and when the lookup table is called, the optical absorption coefficients of methane and the interference gas under corresponding conditions are obtained through interpolation calculation according to real-time temperature and pressure data of the target area, and are input into the spectrum absorption characteristic model construction as basic data in the forward simulation.

[0052] Specifically, the forward simulation step includes that the GFIT3 model modifies the radiation transfer equation of the forward simulation model, introduces parameters representing the scattering and absorption characteristics of aerosols, corrects the transmission process of shortwave infrared radiation in a high aerosol scene, the spectrum response function is constructed based on the imaging principle of the hyperspectral sensor, and the high-resolution spectrum vector generated by the forward simulation is convolved to make the characteristics of the forward simulation spectrum consistent with the characteristics of the measured spectrum of the sensor.

[0053] In the SWIR spectrum absorption inversion algorithm of atmospheric CH4, the radiation transfer of solar radiation along the light path to the sensor needs to be modeled, and the radiation changes caused by different concentrations of atmospheric CH4 are also separated and simulated. The classical differential absorption spectrum technology (DOAS (Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy)) is based on the Beer-Lambert law, which describes the relationship between the incident radiation intensity of a vertical column ( ) and the measured radiation intensity after passing through a light path containing an absorber ( ). ) between the incident radiation intensity of a vertical column ( ) and the measured radiation intensity after passing through a light path containing an absorber (

[0054] ). ;

[0055] In the formula, represents the absorption cross section, represents the concentration of CH4 gas molecules. And the absorption cross section is a function of wavelength ( ), air temperature (T) and atmospheric pressure (p).

[0056] Based on the AHSI (hyperspectral imager) sensor can distinguish the atmospheric CH4 absorption characteristics, and the point source plume inversion region only exists short-wave infrared weak absorption gas premise assumption. The embodiment adopts a radiation transfer model, and is applied to AHSI (hyperspectral imager) imaging spectrum simulation. For the case of higher aerosol, the embodiment adopts GFIT3 to optimize the above radiation transfer model.

[0057] Specifically, in the iterative maximum posterior inversion step, the state variable further includes a polynomial fitting coefficient and a spectral offset term, and a cost function in iteration is determined by observation errors of measured and simulated spectra and prior errors of the state variable, the state variable simplifies and retains core parameters of methane concentration and surface albedo, and a convergence condition is set as a state variable change amount of adjacent iterations being less than a set threshold.

[0058] Specifically, the radiation transfer model is configured with:

[0059] ;

[0060] wherein, represents a high-resolution backscattering simulation radiation amount at a wavelength , is a solar incident radiation intensity, is an air mass factor of a vertical atmosphere =[1,72] layer, is a default optical thickness of each trace gas element from the U.S. standard atmosphere, wherein an initial value of atmospheric CH4 is set as 2000ppb, is a scaling factor applied to the optical depth, is a polynomial coefficient representing a low-frequency spectral feature, wherein represents a state variable, including gas concentration, atmospheric and surface parameters, is a model input parameter, and k is a preset number.

[0061] The embodiment simulates in a spectral range of 2076-2510nm (around 2300nm) with a spectral resolution of 0.02nm, and forms a forward simulation vector . Then, through a spectral response function, as shown in Figure 2 , a convolution calculation based on a Gaussian distribution modeling with a mean value of 0 and a full width at half maximum (FWHM) parameter is performed, to realize a high-resolution simulation vector and an imaging simulation spectrum after convolution of the spectral response function, as shown in Figure 3 . Then, sampling of the simulation spectrum at known AHSI (hyperspectral imager) wavelength positions can obtain a forward simulation spectrum F (x) representing satellite imaging.

[0062] Due to the significantly lower spectral resolution and signal-to-noise ratio of AHSI (Airborne Hyperspectral Imager) than TROPOMI (Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument) and GMI (Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Instrument), the atmospheric CH4 retrieval based on AHSI (Airborne Hyperspectral Imager) cannot directly use the DOAS (Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy) retrieval method. The embodiment adopts an iterative maximum posterior algorithm, adjusts the state variable to be inverted, makes the difference between the imaging spectrum simulated by the forward model and the AHSI (Airborne Hyperspectral Imager) measured spectrum, and statistically optimizes the solution on the basis of considering the AHSI (Airborne Hyperspectral Imager) and the forward simulation spectrum error.

[0063] ;

[0064] In the formula, y is the AHSI (Airborne Hyperspectral Imager) observation real spectrum; F is the forward model simulation AHSI (Airborne Hyperspectral Imager) imaging spectrum; b is the model input parameter, for example, the optical absorption coefficient of atmospheric molecules, etc., x is the state variable, and the embodiment specifically includes 11 parameters including target gas (CH4) and interfering gas (CO2, H2O and NO2) concentration, 5 polynomial fitting coefficients (atmospheric, surface and aerosol parameters, etc.) and 2 spectral offset items; is an error term. In actual calculation, the state variable to be inverted x is calculated by solving the minimum value of the one-dimensional variation cost function.

[0065] Specifically, the cost function of the iterative maximum posterior algorithm is configured as:

[0066] ;

[0067] In the formula, J(x) is the cost function, y is the AHSI (Airborne Hyperspectral Imager) observation real spectrum, F is the forward model simulation AHSI (Airborne Hyperspectral Imager) imaging spectrum, b is the model input parameter, x is the state variable, x a is the state variable prior value, S a is the error covariance matrix of the state variable prior value, S ɛ is the observation spectrum error covariance matrix. The matrix is calculated by comparing the difference between the AHSI (Airborne Hyperspectral Imager) measured spectrum and the forward simulation spectrum under the CH4 background concentration scene.

[0068] In order to reduce the calculation complexity and improve the efficiency, the following simplification is made to the problem. Since many atmospheric parameters (such as other gases or clouds) are not directly related to CH4 retrieval, they are not included in the state vector. CH4 is usually stable in the atmosphere (unless in the fossil energy point source emission area), so attention can be focused on a few key parameters. Simplification method:

[0069] ;

[0070] Since the function is nonlinear, the solving process needs to be obtained by iteration. For the state variable i second iteration , the Jacobian matrix is calculated.

[0071] ;

[0072] Meanwhile, the embodiment obtains the state variable x that minimizes the cost function by Gauss-Newton iteration.

[0073] Specifically, the maximum posterior algorithm iteration is configured with:

[0074] ;

[0075] Where x i+1 represents the state variable vector to be inverted at the i+1th iteration, x i represents the state variable vector to be inverted at the ith iteration, K represents the Jacobian matrix, that is, the partial derivative matrix of the forward simulation model with respect to the state variable x, represents the degree of influence of a small change in the state variable on the simulated spectrum, γ is an iteration adjustment parameter, used to dynamically adjust the trust region of the iteration step, c represents the bias term, x a represents the state variable prior value vector, that is, the initial reference value of the state variable.

[0076] Parameter is updated in each iteration to minimize the cost function, and is calculated according to the following ratio: R

[0077]

[0078] Where is the value of the cost function corresponding to the forward model and the state variable in the i+1th iteration; and is the value of the cost function of under the linear assumption. From this definition, it can be seen that R represents the influence of the nonlinear characteristics of the forward model on the cost function. When the forward model is linear, R=1. In specific calculations, R is initialized to 10. In each iteration, when R>0.75, R is reduced by half; otherwise, R remains unchanged. When the state variable satisfies the following relationship, the solution converges:

[0079]

[0080] ​The change of the representative state variable in iteration is less than the posterior error, wherein n represents the number of elements of the state variable vector; is the posterior estimation error covariance matrix of the final state variable estimation value , which can be expressed as:

[0081] In the formula, represents the posterior inversion error and the estimation error correlation between different state variable parameters. This is an important indicator of the inversion result error estimation.

[0082] The embodiment of the present application also provides a hyperspectral atmospheric methane concentration inversion system for a high aerosol scene, comprising:

[0083] A prior data acquisition module acquires atmospheric parameter data and multi-band ground surface albedo data of a target area, performs unified pressure level adaptation processing on the atmospheric parameter data, performs methane short-wave infrared absorption spectrum interpolation processing on the ground surface albedo data, constructs a radiation transfer model through the processed data, and outputs a forward simulation vector;

[0084] A lookup table construction module constructs a short-wave infrared hyperspectral optical absorption coefficient lookup table including methane and interfering gases and containing different temperature and pressure conditions based on CLARS-GFIT;

[0085] A forward simulation module constructs a hyperspectral imaging forward simulation model according to the forward simulation vector, corrects the forward simulation model through a GFIT3 model to quantify the influence of high aerosol on radiation transfer, and generates a forward simulation spectrum through convolution processing of the forward simulation spectrum vector combined with a spectral response function of a hyperspectral sensor.

[0086] An iterative maximum posterior inversion module determines state variables including methane concentration, interfering gas concentration and spectral parameters, adjusts the state variables through an iterative maximum posterior algorithm and minimizes a cost function of a measured spectrum and the forward simulation spectrum, simplifies the state variables and includes the influence of un-inverted atmospheric parameters into an error matrix, iteratively solves to convergence, and obtains a methane concentration inversion result.

[0087] The following shows and describes a methane concentration random enhancement spectrum simulation of the present application:

[0088] (1) Optionally, satellite data of one scene of GF-5B / AHSI (hyperspectral imager) is acquired to obtain Wavelength and FWHM (full width at half maximum), and Wavelength and FWHM within 2110-2455nm are obtained;

[0089] ​(2) Generate a 100x100 image matrix (Concentration: 100x100; Spectrum: 100x100x41; Albedo: 100x100), 98% of which is background concentration (1900ppb), 2% of which is randomly increased concentration, and the random increase in concentration value is (1-1500ppb), to construct the simulated XCH4 concentration data (100x100) of the background concentration+increased concentration;

[0091] (4) Take 0.002% to 0.02% of the maximum value of each imaging spectrum as the standard deviation (corresponding to the signal-to-noise ratio 500 to 50), and the mean value is 0, add Gaussian noise to each spectral segment, and finally return the imaging spectrum data after adding noise;

[0092] (5) Use the MF, ILMF and COBRA methods in turn to invert the simulated spectrum. Basic characteristics, principles and advantages of the present application.

[0093] As shown in Figure 4 , the scatter plot compares the true CH4 enhancement value and the CH4 enhancement value obtained by randomly simulating the enhancement value (ranging from 0 to 1500ppb).
