[0002] The dredging operation in the construction of large-scale cross-sea bridges and other marine engineering projects will disturb the seabed sediments intensively, resulting in a sharp increase in the suspended sediment concentration in the surrounding water area, and the diffusion and migration under the action of hydrodynamic force. Such high-concentration suspended sediment will reduce water transparency, affect the photosynthesis of aquatic plants, and interfere with the feeding, respiration and reproduction processes of aquatic organisms, posing a serious threat to adjacent ecologically sensitive areas.

[0026] The present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The remote sensing inversion and warning method of the suspended sediment concentration in the dredging area includes the following steps:
[0028] Step S1, obtaining a training sample set, the training samples in the training sample set including feature band reflectivity sensitive to the suspended sediment concentration obtained according to historical images of the dredging area, construction parameters and hydrological parameters of the dredging area on-site synchronous with the historical images;
[0029] The hyperspectral remote sensing image is a satellite image taken by a multispectral camera carried on a UAV, the hyperspectral remote sensing image is radiometrically calibrated and atmospherically corrected to obtain the ground reflectivity data, more specifically, the radiometric calibration converts the original digital value of the image into apparent radiance, and the atmospheric correction is used to eliminate the atmospheric absorption and scattering effect, thereby obtaining the ground reflectivity data. Among them, the radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction are both prior art.
[0030] Based on the Pearson correlation analysis, several feature band reflectances most sensitive to the suspended sediment concentration are extracted from the surface reflectance data. Specifically, the spectral reflectance corresponding to different suspended sediment concentrations at a certain wavelength is obtained, and the corresponding spectral reflectance and suspended sediment concentration are taken as a data pair. The Pearson correlation coefficient at this fixed wavelength is calculated according to all data pairs. Repeat the process to calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient at all wavelengths. The wavelengths with a Pearson correlation coefficient greater than a certain threshold are taken as the feature band, and the corresponding reflectance is taken as the feature band reflectance.
[0031] For example, for the wavelength λ = 550 nm, there are 5 sets of data pairs: suspended sediment concentration Y i 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 kg / m3, and the corresponding reflectance X i 0.25, 0.30, 0.38, 0.45, 0.52, according to the formula The Pearson correlation coefficient r ≈ 0.998 at this wavelength is obtained, which is close to 1, indicating that the spectral reflectance at 550 nm wavelength has a strong positive linear correlation with the suspended sediment concentration, and it is also greater than the set correlation coefficient threshold, so it is taken as the sensitive band for inverting the suspended sediment concentration.
[0032] The construction parameters include the dredging ship power, the number of dredging ships, the dredging depth, and the sediment particle roundness. The hydrological parameters include the water flow rate and the water wave height.
[0033] Step S2, constructing and training the inversion model, the inversion model includes an attention mechanism layer and an inversion layer, the attention mechanism layer weights and fuses the feature band reflectance, the construction parameters and the hydrological parameters to obtain a weighted feature vector, the inversion layer obtains the suspended sediment concentration value according to the weighted feature vector, and the inversion model is trained using the training sample set. The loss function used in training is L total =L MSE +λL eco , wherein L MSE is the mean square error of the predicted concentration and the measured concentration, L eco is an ecological penalty term related to the predicted concentration, and λ is a penalty coefficient.
[0034] The inversion model also includes an input layer at the front end of the attention mechanism layer. During training, the input layer receives the feature band reflectance, the construction parameters and the hydrological parameters and quantizes them into an input vector The attention mechanism layer is connected to the output end of the input layer, and the weighted feature vector obtained by the attention mechanism layer is represented as , wherein is the attention weight, P is the dredging power (unit: kW) determined by the dredging ship power and the number of dredging ships, is the dredging depth (unit: m), is the roundness of the sediment particle, is the sequence of characteristic band reflectivity, is the flow velocity of the water body (unit: m / s), is the wave height of the water body (unit: m), is the Sigmoid function, and are learnable parameters, A is the projected area of the sediment particle, and L is the projected perimeter of the sediment particle, 1 represents a perfect circle.
[0035] The inversion layer includes a hidden layer that performs linear transformation, ReLU activation, and Dropout regularization, which is obtained according to the formula obtains the suspended sediment concentration value where W2 and b2 are learnable parameters, C max = 2000 mg / L.
[0036] An ecological sensitive area penalty term is added to the loss function to directly link the inversion result to the ecological sensitive area, so as to realize quantitative and spatial ecological risk real-time early warning. Specifically, the mean square error L MSE is expressed as The ecological penalty term L eco is expressed as where n represents the number of training samples participating in the mean square error calculation, is the predicted concentration corresponding to the i-th training sample, is the measured concentration corresponding to the i-th training sample, and S represents a set of sampling points in the ecological sensitive area, the i-th sampling point corresponding to the i-th training sample, is the concentration threshold value of the ecological sensitive area.
[0037] Step S3, obtain the current dredging area remote sensing image, process the image to obtain the current characteristic band reflectivity, and obtain the current construction parameters and hydrological parameters. The current characteristic spectral band, construction parameters and hydrological parameters are input into the trained inversion model to predict the suspended sediment concentration;
[0038] After the inversion model predicts the suspended sediment concentration, the suspended sediment concentration is rendered into an intuitive spatial distribution map through a visualization module, such as Figure 2The specific working process of the visualization module is as follows: saving the trained inversion model and the corresponding wavelength list as an ssc_rf_model.pkl file; reading the hyperspectral remote sensing image (such as the construction area.dat) and its supporting hdr header file, extracting the wavelengths of each band from the hdr header file, generating a water mask and a cloud mask, taking the intersection of the two to obtain an effective water mask, then extracting the blue, yellow and red bands from the hyperspectral remote sensing image to generate a true color RGB image, traversing the ssc_rf_model.pkl file, selecting the wavelengths with a wavelength difference of <1 nm from the wavelengths in the hyperspectral remote sensing image as matching bands, remodeling the matching band data as pixel-level feature input to the inversion model to predict the suspended sediment concentration value, then using a custom color system color scale to superimpose the suspended sediment concentration prediction result on the RGB image in the form of an RGBA layer (only the effective water mask area displays the suspended sediment concentration color), and finally generating a high-resolution suspended sediment concentration distribution map.
[0039] Step S4, setting different levels of dynamic early warning thresholds, the early warning thresholds are related to the dredging power, and corresponding level early warning is performed according to the predicted suspended sediment concentration and the early warning threshold, and the early warning is diffused to the entire ecological sensitive area, and the ecological sensitive area radius is related to the hydrological parameters and the dredging time.
[0040] The schematic diagram of the ecological sensitive area is shown in Figure 3 , and the ecological sensitive area radius is represented as , through the formula, the early warning area can be delineated in advance to ensure that the sediment caused by the construction does not spread to the ecological protection area, wherein T is the dredging time, and g is the acceleration of gravity. When the concentration exceeds the threshold, an alarm is immediately sent to the management personnel.
[0041] In this embodiment, the blue early warning threshold , the yellow early warning threshold and the red early warning threshold are set to be raised in turn, wherein P is the dredging power. When the predicted suspended sediment concentration of the inversion module is less than the blue early warning threshold, it indicates safety and no early warning information is sent. If the suspended sediment concentration is greater than the blue early warning threshold and less than the yellow threshold, a blue early warning information is sent. The early warning thresholds of each level are dynamically adjusted with the dredging power, which can make the early warning information more reliable.
