Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of laser remote sensing, specifically relating to a method and system for inverting surface and aerosol parameters based on lidar. Background Technology

[0002] Surface reflectance (SR) and aerosol optical thickness (AOT) are key parameters for Earth observation. Their significance lies in quantitatively characterizing the radiative properties of light reflection at the Earth's surface and propagation through the atmospheric aerosol layer. They provide the core physical foundation for terrain identification and classification, aerosol and cloud monitoring, atmospheric correction in optical remote sensing, and remote sensing inversion, supporting environmental assessment and resource management for landform types such as deserts, plains, ice sheets, and snowfields. Over the past few decades, relying on mature land and aerosol identification algorithms, spaceborne passive optical sensors (such as multispectral cameras) have provided extensive and long-term data support for studying the Earth system. However, passive optical sensors only have a single measurement value (top atmospheric reflectance) per pixel, corresponding to two unknown parameters: surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness. They often rely on assumptions about the spectral characteristics of aerosols and the Earth's surface to complete SR and AOT inversion, which still presents many limitations in many scenarios.

[0003] In recent years, the rapid development of active laser remote sensing technology has provided a new approach to solving this bottleneck. Active detection not only overcomes the limitations of passive optical remote sensing in vertical observation but also allows operation at night or in low-light conditions at high latitudes, providing data support for Earth observation over a wider spatiotemporal range. The application of single-photon lidar technology has brought about a major breakthrough in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for inverting surface and aerosol parameters based on lidar includes:

[0047] Step 1: Based on the signal model of single-photon lidar, establish the theoretical mapping relationship between apparent surface reflectivity and surface reflectivity and aerosol optical thickness;

[0048] Step 2: Based on the background noise model of single-photon lidar, establish the theoretical mapping relationship between atmospheric top reflectivity and surface reflectivity and aerosol optical thickness;

[0049] Step 3: Based on the signal and noise observation data of the area to be measured provided by the single-photon lidar, calculate the measurement data of the apparent surface reflectivity and the top atmospheric reflectivity of the area to be measured.

[0050] Step 4: Combining the theoretical mapping relationship between apparent surface reflectance and surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness, the theoretical mapping relationship between atmospheric top reflectance and surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness, and the measured data of apparent surface reflectance and atmospheric top reflectance of the area to be measured, the surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness parameters of the area to be measured are obtained by inversion.

[0051] Furthermore, in step 1, the steps for establishing the theoretical mapping relationship between apparent surface reflectance and surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness are as follows:

[0052] Based on the system parameters of a single-photon lidar, a signal model for the single-photon lidar is established regarding the surface reflectivity and the one-way transmittance of direct atmospheric light.

[0053] Based on the signal model of single-photon lidar, we obtain the expression for the theoretically measured apparent surface reflectance, and the expression for the theoretically measured apparent surface reflectance with respect to the surface reflectance and the one-way transmittance of direct atmospheric light.

[0054] The atmospheric direct one-way transmittance is expressed as aerosol optical thickness, and the theoretically measured expression of apparent surface reflectance with respect to surface reflectance and atmospheric direct one-way transmittance is substituted into it to establish a theoretical mapping relationship between apparent surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness.

[0055] Furthermore, the mathematical expression for the theoretical mapping relationship between apparent surface reflectance and surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness is as follows:

[0056]

[0057] In the formula, r app_theo The theoretically calculated value representing the apparent surface reflectivity; f signal ( . This represents a mapping relationship based on a signal model; r s It is the surface reflectance; t o3 It is the optical thickness of ozone; t R Represents Rayleigh Optical thickness; t a Represents the optical thickness of the aerosol; i v It is the zenith angle of the sensor.

[0058] As a specific implementation method, the detailed derivation process of the theoretical mapping relationship between atmospheric top reflectivity and surface reflectivity and aerosol optical thickness is as follows:

[0059] Based on the signal model of single-photon lidar, for single-photon lidar with known system parameters (including laser parameters, transceiver optical system parameters, detector parameters, etc.), since the ozone layer optical thickness is stable and the atmospheric Rayleigh optical thickness can be estimated from the ground atmospheric pressure, the apparent surface reflectivity is affected by two unknown parameters: the surface reflectivity and the aerosol optical thickness. A theoretical mapping relationship can be established.

[0060] Referring to the system parameters of a single-photon lidar, the signal model of a single-photon lidar can be expressed as: the average number of photons received on the Lambertian surface. N s Mathematically, it is represented as:

[0061] (1)

[0062] In the formula, E t This is the emission energy of a single-photon lidar (with emission system efficiency already taken into account). or q It refers to the quantum efficiency of photodetectors. or r It is the efficiency of the receiver system. A r It refers to the size of the receiving telescope aperture. h It is Planck's constant. u It is the photon frequency. h u The energy representing a single photon F It is the scaling factor of the lidar system. D c It is the detector dead time correction factor. R h This refers to the flight altitude of the lidar. The above are the instrument parameters related to the single-photon lidar system. T The atmospheric direct sunlight transmittance in one pass; r s It is the surface reflectance; i g It is the angle of incidence of the laser relative to the surface, and is affected by the nadir angle of laser incidence. i v In conjunction with the ground tilt angle, when i g When less than 10°, cos i g A value greater than 0.98 can be approximated as 1.

[0063] Considering the influence of the Earth's atmosphere, the apparent surface reflectivity provided by single-photon lidar is the measurement result of laser light transmitted from the spacecraft platform to the ground surface, reflected by the ground surface, and then transmitted back to the platform from the ground surface (simply put, the apparent surface reflectivity measured by lidar represents the transmission of laser light from the platform to the ground surface × the reflection by the ground surface × the transmission from the ground surface to the platform). Based on equation (1), the theoretically measured apparent surface reflectivity can be calculated as (assuming the ground is flat, cos... i g (Default is 1):

[0064] (2)

[0065] In the formula, r app_theo The theoretically calculated value representing the apparent surface reflectivity;

[0066] In the absence of clouds, the angle of incidence i v Atmospheric direct sunlight one-way transmittance T It can be approximated as:

[0067] (3)

[0068] In the formula, t o3 It is the ozone optical thickness, which is relatively stable and is set to a constant of 0.02; t R Represents Rayleigh optics thickness, calculated from the atmospheric pressure at the site; t a Represents the optical thickness of the aerosol, used to calculate the one-way transmittance of direct atmospheric light. T The only uncertain term; i v This represents the nadir angle at which the laser is incident.

[0069] By combining equations (2) and (3), the apparent surface reflectance can be established. r app_theo With surface reflectivity r s and aerosol optical thickness t a The theoretical mapping relationship between them is as follows:

[0070] (4)

[0071] Furthermore, in step 2, the process of constructing the theoretical mapping relationship between atmospheric top reflectivity and surface reflectivity and aerosol optical thickness is as follows:

[0072] Based on the system parameters of a single-photon lidar, a background noise model for the single-photon lidar is established, considering the surface reflectivity, atmospheric path radiation reflectivity, and atmospheric diffuse transmittance.

[0073] Based on the background model of single-photon lidar, we obtain the expression for the theoretical measurement of atmospheric top reflectivity, and its expression for surface reflectivity, atmospheric path radiation reflectivity, and atmospheric diffuse transmittance.

[0074] By expressing atmospheric path radiative reflectance and atmospheric diffuse transmittance as aerosol optical thickness, and substituting them into the theoretically measured expression for atmospheric top reflectance with respect to surface reflectance, atmospheric path radiative reflectance, and atmospheric diffuse transmittance, a theoretical mapping relationship between atmospheric top reflectance and surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness is established.

[0075] Furthermore, the mathematical expression for the theoretical mapping relationship between atmospheric top reflectivity and surface reflectivity and aerosol optical thickness is as follows:

[0076]

[0077] In the formula, r toa_theo The theoretically calculated value representing the reflectivity at the top of the atmosphere; f noise (.) indicates a mapping relationship based on the background noise model; S atm It is the spherical albedo of the atmosphere; i v It is the zenith angle of the sensor. i s It is the zenith angle of the sun; oh a It is the single-scattering albedo of the aerosol; P R ( i- ) is the Rayleigh phase function. P a ( i- ) is the aerosol scattering phase function. i- This represents the scattering angle of light as it is scattered backward from the atmosphere.

[0078] As a specific implementation method, the theoretical mapping relationship between atmospheric top reflectivity and surface reflectivity and aerosol optical thickness is established as follows:

[0079] Based on the background noise model of single-photon lidar, for a single-photon lidar with known system parameters, the solar elevation angle at the measurement time is known, the albedo of the atmospheric surface can be determined by looking up a table, and the single-scattering albedo of the aerosol can be substituted with typical values. Thus, the reflectivity at the top of the atmosphere is affected by two unknown parameters: the surface reflectivity and the optical thickness of the aerosol. A theoretical mapping relationship can be established.

[0080] For single-photon lidar, scattered and reflected solar radiation is detected and recorded as background noise. The solar radiation received by the lidar from the top of the atmosphere (background noise) includes: solar noise received by the system after atmospheric reflection, solar noise received by the system after "atmospheric transmission - surface reflection - atmospheric transmission," and the dark count noise of the detector itself. Theoretically, the formula for calculating the total noise rate of a single-photon lidar (background noise model) is:

[0081] (5)

[0082] In the formula, f t This represents the total noise rate; the parameters within the first set of parentheses are instrument parameters related to the lidar system, among which... Dl It is the filter width. i r It is half of the receiving field of view; the parameters in the second set of parentheses are the environment and target parameters, among which, It is the solar irradiance at the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. r atm Atmospheric path reflectivity t ( i () indicates the angle of incidence. i Atmospheric diffuse transmittance ,the v This refers to the sensor's zenith angle (equal to the laser incident nadir angle; the laser incident nadir angle refers to the angle at which the laser beam deviates from vertical downwards when it is emitted and points towards the ground target; the sensor's zenith angle refers to the angle at which the noise signal, reflecting off the ground, deviates from vertical upwards when the solar signal is reflected back to the sensor. However, in spaceborne lidar measurements, the laser and sensor must be pointing towards the same ground area to receive the measurement signal, so the two angles are numerically identical and share the same symbol). i s It is the zenith angle of the sun. S atm It is the spherical albedo of the atmosphere, which can be found in a lookup table; f d It is the dark counting noise of the photon counting detector.

[0083] In the formula, , This represents the measured solar irradiance; the Day value represents the day of the year.

[0084] The theoretical atmospheric top reflectivity can be derived from equation (5). r toa_theo for:

[0085] (6)

[0086] Atmospheric path reflectivity r atm The contributions from aerosols and atmospheric molecules (or Rayleigh scattering) are approximated using the single-scattering approximation as follows:

[0087] (7)

[0088] In the formula, oh a This is the single-scattering albedo of the aerosol, set to a typical value of 0.95 for simplified calculation; P R ( i - ) is the Rayleigh phase function. P a ( i - ) is the aerosol scattering phase function. i - The scattering angle, representing the backscattering of light from the atmosphere, depends on the relative position between the satellite receiving system and the sun. At this point, the aerosol optical thickness... t a To calculate atmospheric path radiative reflectivity r atm The only uncertain item.

[0089] Angle of incidence i Atmospheric diffuse transmittance t (θ) Modeled by the following formula:

[0090] (8)

[0091] In the formula, F a It is the forward scattering fraction of aerosols, defined as the integral of the forward scattering part of the aerosol scattering phase function:

[0092] (9)

[0093] Marine scene aerosol F a The typical value is 0.85. At this point, the aerosol optical thickness... t a To calculate atmospheric diffuse transmittance t The only uncertain item.

[0094] By combining equations (6), (7), and (8), the atmospheric top reflectivity can be established. r toa_theo With surface reflectivity rs and aerosol optical thickness t a The theoretical mapping relationship between them is as follows:

[0095] (10)

[0096] Furthermore, in step 3, the calculation process for the measurement data of the apparent surface reflectance of the area to be measured and the reflectance at the top of the atmosphere is as follows:

[0097] By substituting the signal observation data of the area to be measured provided by the single-photon lidar into the expression for the theoretical measurement of the apparent surface reflectivity, the measurement data of the apparent surface reflectivity of the area to be measured is obtained; at the same time, by substituting the noise observation data of the area to be measured provided by the single-photon lidar into the expression for the theoretical measurement of the reflectivity of the top of the atmosphere, the measurement data of the reflectivity of the top of the atmosphere is obtained.

[0098] As a specific implementation method, the apparent surface reflectance, i.e., the surface reflectance considering atmospheric attenuation, can be estimated based on the signal observation data detected by single-photon lidar; the atmospheric top reflectance, i.e., the combination of apparent surface reflection and atmospheric reflection, can be estimated based on noise observation data. The calculation process for the measurement data of the apparent surface reflectance and atmospheric top reflectance of the area to be measured is as follows:

[0099] Let the average ground signal photon count along the orbit provided by the single-photon lidar (signal observation data) be denoted as N s, mea The background noise rate along the track (noise observation data) is f t,mea Then, combining the intermediate term of equation (2), the apparent surface reflectance along the orbit measured by single-photon lidar... r app,mea It can be calculated as follows:

[0100] (11)

[0101] Combining the intermediate term of equation (6), the reflectivity along the top of the orbital atmosphere measured by single-photon lidar. r toa,mea It can be calculated as follows:

[0102] (12)

[0103] Furthermore, in step 4, the inversion process of the surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness parameters of the area to be measured is as follows:

[0104] The measured data of the apparent surface reflectance of the area to be measured are substituted into the theoretical mapping relationship of apparent surface reflectance with respect to surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness. At the same time, the measured data of the atmospheric top reflectance of the area to be measured are substituted into the theoretical mapping relationship of atmospheric top reflectance with respect to surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness. These are combined into a nonlinear bivariate equation, and the inversion results of the surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness parameters are obtained by solving the equation.

[0105] As a specific implementation method, the apparent surface reflectance and atmospheric top reflectance measurement data of single-photon lidar are substituted into the theoretical mapping relationship between apparent surface reflectance, atmospheric top reflectance, surface reflectance, and aerosol optical thickness parameters for simultaneous solution.

[0106] Based on steps 1 and 2, we have established the theoretical mapping relationship between apparent surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness as shown in equation (4). r app_theo = f signal ( t a , r s ), and the theoretical mapping relationship between atmospheric top reflectivity, surface reflectivity, and aerosol optical thickness as shown in Equation (10). r toa_theo = f noise ( t a , r s Based on step 3, we have obtained the apparent surface reflectance along the orbit measured by the single-photon lidar. r app,mea and atmospheric top reflectivity r toa,mea The above results can be combined into a nonlinear bivariate equation as follows:

[0107] (13)

[0108] Solving the above nonlinear bivariate equations yields the inversion results for surface reflectivity and aerosol optical thickness parameters.

[0109] This invention also provides an embodiment for acquiring surface reflectivity and aerosol optical thickness parameters based on the ICESat-2 satellite. The embodiment uses the ground signal photon count acquired by the ATLAS (Advanced Terrain Laser Altimeter System) onboard the ICESat-2 satellite as it flew over the North China Plain. sig_count ), background noise count ( backg_c Using the data as an example, the surface reflectance of the area to be measured is retrieved. r s and aerosol optical thickness t a Parameters. ICESat-2 / ATLAS can emit six laser pulses at a repetition rate of 10 kHz. Utilizing an extremely sensitive photon counting detector, it records both ground-based laser photons and atmospheric aerosol background noise reflected into the telescope. This background noise can mask weak signals, resulting in observations similar to those of passive optical sensors. ICESat-2 / ATLAS's range resolution allows for accurate separation of surface laser signals and atmospheric aerosol background noise, making it possible to perform active and passive fusion observations on a single platform with a single measurement.

[0110] Example analysis was conducted using data from ICESat-2's first orbit over the North China Plain on February 22, 2020, to retrieve surface reflectance and aerosol optical thickness parameters. Specifically, this study utilized ICESat-2's Level 3 ATL09 product (calibrated for atmospheric delay), which provides passive background noise counts statistically analyzed at a rate of 25 Hz. backg_c ), and ground signal photon information accumulated from 400 consecutive pulses. Among them, the ground signal photon information is categorized by high confidence ( sig_count_hi ), medium confidence level ( sig_count_med ) and low confidence ( sig_count_low ) Classification. In this example, the photon count of the signal ( sig_count )for sig_count_hi , sig_count_med and sig_count_low The sum. In addition, the ATL09 product provides the corresponding solar altitude angle with a timestamp ( solar_elevation ) and emission energy ( tx_pulse_energy These are essential input data for the proposed method.

Figure 3(b) shows the comparison between the aerosol optical thickness parameter inversion data (light black solid line) and the MODIS validation data (dark black dashed line) at the corresponding latitudes along the orbit. The aerosol optical thickness parameter results provided in the official ICESat-2 dataset ATL09 are also shown (light gray dashed line). The results show that the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of the official ATL09 aerosol optical thickness data compared to the MODIS validation data is 94.60%, and the root mean square error (RMSE) is 0.1410, indicating poor consistency between the two. The aerosol optical thickness parameters inverted by the above method have a MAPE of 26.76% and an RMSE of 0.0394 compared to the MODIS validation data, showing high consistency between the two. Figure 3 (c) This paper presents a comparison between the surface reflectance parameter inversion data (light black solid line) and the MODIS validation data (dark black dashed line) at the corresponding latitude along the orbit. The results show that the surface reflectance parameters obtained by the above method have a MAPE of 8.59% and an RMSE of 0.0145 compared to the MODIS validation data, indicating a high degree of consistency between the two.
