Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural remote sensing monitoring technology, and in particular to a method for predicting soil water and salt content based on interaction effects and optical remote sensing images. Background Technology

[0002] In irrigated areas affected by salinity, timely and accurate monitoring of soil water and salinity is crucial for water resource management and soil salinization control. Complex soil and groundwater conditions, coupled with irrigation management practices, lead to significant spatiotemporal variations in soil water and salinity. These factors exacerbate the complexity of optical remote sensing information, making it difficult to accurately estimate soil moisture and salinity from mixed data.

[0003] Optical remote sensing images have become an indispensable tool for understanding soil moisture processes in agricultural areas. Spectral indices based on broadband bands are often used to assess soil water and salt conditions in farmland. Artificial intelligence algorithms can also be used to address the performance limitations of single spectral indices.

[0004] However, when soil moisture deficit and salt accumulation occur simultaneously in farmland, the mixing of water and salt obscures the spectral behavior of crops, resulting in poor accuracy of remote sensing analysis of farmland soil water and salt information. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for predicting soil water and salt content based on interaction effects and optical remote sensing images to address the aforementioned technical problems. This method improves the prediction accuracy of soil water and salt content.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: This invention provides a method for predicting soil water and salt content based on interaction effects and optical remote sensing images, comprising: The spectral reflectance of all bands is extracted from sample optical remote sensing images of the target area over a historical period, and the corresponding spectral index is calculated based on the spectral reflectance of each band; the types of spectral indices include soil moisture index, soil salinity index and vegetation index. For each spectral index, a mapping relationship between soil water and salt content and the spectral index is constructed. Choose two or three from multiple mapping relationships to form a combination of two quadratic equations in two variables, and solve the combination of two quadratic equations in two variables to obtain the soil water and salt content; the soil water and salt content includes soil moisture content and soil salt content. With the goal of minimizing the difference between the calculated water and salt content and the actual water and salt content of the target area within a preset time period, a soil water and salt content estimation model based on machine learning is trained to obtain the soil water and salt content estimation model. The soil water and salt content estimation model is used to predict the water and salt content of the target area at the current time by using the optical remote sensing image of the target area.

[0007] Preferably, the mapping relationship is as follows: ; in, SI For spectral index, Soil moisture content, Soil salinity content, , , , and All are coefficients.

[0008] Preferably, the method for determining the coefficients of the mapping relationship specifically includes: The soil water and salt content in the target area was measured, and spectral remote sensing data of the target area was obtained. Using measured soil water and salt content as the independent variable and spectral remote sensing data as the dependent variable, the coefficients of the mapping relationship were determined by partial least squares method.

[0009] Preferably, the method further includes: Based on the predicted water and salt content of the target area at the current moment, draw a water and salt content distribution map of the target area.

[0010] Preferably, the method further includes: After acquiring the optical remote sensing image to be predicted, the image is preprocessed; the preprocessing includes atmospheric correction, image stitching, and cropping.

[0011] This invention provides a soil water and salt content prediction device based on interaction effects and optical remote sensing images, comprising: The calculation module is used to extract the spectral reflectance of all bands from sample optical remote sensing images of the target area within a historical time period, and calculate the corresponding spectral index based on the spectral reflectance of each band; the types of spectral indices include soil moisture index, soil salinity index and vegetation index. The mapping module is used to construct a mapping relationship between soil water and salt content and spectral index for each spectral index. The module is used to select two or three from multiple mapping relationships to form a combination of two quadratic equations in two variables, and solve the combination of two quadratic equations in two variables to obtain the soil water and salt content; the soil water and salt content includes soil moisture content and soil salt content.

The prediction module is used to predict the water and salt content of the target area at the current time by using a soil water and salt content estimation model.

[0013] The present invention provides a computer device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the program, it implements the above-mentioned method for predicting soil water and salt content based on interaction effects and optical remote sensing images.

[0014] The above-mentioned at least one technical solution adopted in this invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: by extracting the spectral reflectance of multi-band remote sensing images, the spectral feature differences of surface materials can be captured, providing basic data for subsequent water and salt content analysis; for each spectral index, a mapping relationship between soil water and salt content and the spectral index is constructed respectively. By establishing the relationship between a single spectral index and soil water and salt content, remote sensing data and field measurement data are associated, providing independent variables for subsequent simultaneous equations; two or three mapping relationships are selected from multiple relationships to form a combination of two quadratic equations, and the combination of two quadratic equations is solved to obtain the soil water and salt content.
