Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] Research has shown that mangroves, as important coastal ecosystems, play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation, coastal protection, and carbon sequestration. Accurately determining mangrove tree height is essential for assessing their ecological functions, monitoring their health, and supporting sustainable management. Current technologies rely on manual field measurements to determine mangrove tree height; however, mangroves mostly grow in shallow sea areas such as estuaries and bays, which are not suitable for manual field measurements.
[0020] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for estimating mangrove tree height, which solves the problem that existing methods for measuring mangrove tree height are limited by the mangrove growth environment.
[0021] Example 1: The mangrove tree height estimation method of this example can be applied to a terminal device, which can be a terminal product with data processing capabilities, such as a computer. In this example, as... Figure 1 As shown, the mangrove tree height estimation method specifically includes the following steps: S100, defines the boundary area where the mangroves are located; S200, Collect multi-source satellite remote sensing data of the boundary area, including spectral bands, topographic features and radar backscattering features; S300, based on the spectral band, the terrain features, and the radar backscattering features, estimate the average tree height of the mangroves in the boundary area.
[0022] In this embodiment, determining the boundary area where the mangrove forest is located in step S100 includes the following specific steps S101, S102, and S103: S101 traverses the boundary points of mangrove planting areas.
[0023] Based on the vector boundary of the mangrove area, S102, determine the smallest convex polygon constructed from the boundary points.
[0024] Based on the vector boundary of the mangrove region, the smallest convex polygon containing all boundary points is found by traversing all boundary points.
[0025] Since the planting area of mangroves may not be a regular shape, it is necessary to collect images of the planting area and identify the mangroves using image recognition technology. The mangroves near the edge of the planting area are used as boundary points. The closed area formed by several boundary points can be of any shape. The reason why this embodiment selects the smallest convex polygon that includes all boundary points is that the smallest convex polygon can not only cover all the growth areas of mangroves, but also ensure that there are no extra invalid areas in the covered growth areas. For example, if the growth area of mangroves is a square, there can be multiple convex polygons of different sizes outside the square. Only the convex polygon with the smallest area is selected.
[0026] S103, extend a set distance outward from the smallest convex polygon to obtain the boundary area where the mangrove forest is located.
[0027] In this embodiment, the set distance is 10 kilometers, which means that the minimum convex polygon and the area 10 kilometers away from the minimum convex polygon are taken as the boundary area of the mangrove forest.
[0028] The boundary region, or Region of Interest (ROI), serves to ensure that subsequent remote sensing data extraction covers the entire mangrove vegetation area and external environmental information that may affect its growth by generating an area that includes the mangroves and their surrounding influence zones. This provides the model with more comprehensive environmental variable information.
[0029] Step S200 involves acquiring spectral bands using the ESA Sentinel-2 multispectral imager, including twelve spectral bands from B1 to B12. Topographic features and radar backscattering characteristics of the boundary area are then acquired using lidar.
[0030] In this embodiment, step S300 includes the following specific steps S301 to S308: S301, determine the blue light band (blue light band is B2 in B1 to B12), green light band (green light band is B3 in B1 to B12), red light band (red light band is B4 in B1 to B12), near-infrared band (near-infrared band is B8 in B1 to B12), and short-wave infrared band (short-wave infrared band is B11 in B1 to B12) in the spectral band.
[0031] The ESA Sentinel-2 multispectral imager can collect twelve spectral bands from B1 to B12 for the boundary area where mangroves are located. In this embodiment, B3, B4, B8, and B11 of the twelve spectral bands from B1 to B12 are used to calculate the remote sensing index.
[0032] S302, determine NDVI based on the near-infrared band B8 and the red band B4: NDVI=(B8-B4) / (B8+B4).
[0033] S303, based on the green light band B3 and the short-wave infrared band B11, determine the MNDWI: MNDWI=(B3-B11) / (B3+B11).
[0034] S304, Based on the near-infrared band B8 and the short-wave infrared band B11, determine NDBI: NDBI=(B11-B8) / (B11+B8).
[0035] S305, determine EVI based on the blue light band B2, the short-wave infrared band B11, the red light band B4, and the near-infrared band B8: EVI=((B11+B4)-(B8+B2)) / ((B11+B4)+(B8+B2)).
[0036] S306, determine the BSI based on the blue light band, the red light band, the near-infrared band, and the short-wave infrared band; and use the NDVI, the MNDWI, the NDBI, the EVI, and the BSI as remote sensing indices.
[0037] NDVI represents the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. NDVI is closely related to the growth status and density of mangroves and can indirectly reflect the height of mangrove trees. EVI represents the Enhanced Vegetation Index. EVI can reflect the vegetation growth status and biomass characteristics of mangroves. EVI has a certain correlation with the average height of mangroves, so it can be used as one of the remote sensing indicators for estimating the height of mangrove trees. MNDWI represents the Normalized Difference Water Index. The value of MNDWI reflects the humidity level of mangroves, and humidity affects the growth of mangroves. Therefore, the average height of trees in the mangrove area can be estimated through MNDWI. NDBI represents the Normalized Difference Building Index, and BSI represents the Bare Soil Index.
[0038] The NDBI and BSI work together to distinguish between bare land and urban areas, helping to accurately indicate mangrove areas in complex coastal environments.
[0039] S307, Based on the NDVI, determine the ecological structural indicators of the boundary area.
[0040] In this embodiment, mangrove coverage is used as an ecological structural indicator, namely FVC. Calculating mangrove coverage based on NDVI is an existing technology.
[0041] The 1% and 99th percentiles of NDVI values (representing the sparsest and densest vegetation cover in the region, respectively) are dynamically extracted from the boundary area as normalization parameters. These two dynamic thresholds are then used to linearly stretch the NDVI values, thus standardizing the uneven distribution of NDVI values caused by differences in vegetation types across regions to a unified FVC interval. To further ensure the physical rationality of the calculation results, this invention also establishes a three-level masking mechanism: when the calculation result is less than 0, it is forcibly set to 0; when the result is between 0 and 1, the original value is maintained; and when the result is greater than 1, it is forcibly set to 1. This method not only automatically adapts to the vegetation characteristics of different geographical regions, improving the accuracy and reliability of FVC calculation, but also significantly enhances the stability and prediction accuracy of the mangrove tree height estimation model by providing accurate vegetation canopy density information.
[0042] S308, apply a random forest regression model to the spectral bands, the remote sensing index, the ecological structural index, the topographic features, and the radar backscattering features to estimate the average tree height of the mangroves in the boundary area.
[0043] In other words, data is collected in the boundary area. The collected spectral bands, including the twelve bands B1 to B12, NDVI, MNDWI, NDBI, EVI, BSI, FVC, the elevation and slope features of the terrain, and four radar backscattering features, totaling twenty-four features, are input into the random forest regression model. The random forest regression model outputs the average tree height of the mangroves in the boundary area. In other words, the random forest regression model can estimate the impact of the above four data on the growth of mangroves based on the terrain, spectral bands, remote sensing index, and radar backscattering features of the boundary area, thereby estimating the average tree height reached by the mangroves under this influence.
[0044] The four radar backscattering features in this embodiment include Sentinel-1's VV, Sentinel-1's VH, ALOS PALSAR's HH, and ALOS PALSAR's HV. Sentinel-1's VV represents the signal wave formed vertically after a radar wave emitted vertically is reflected by mangroves; Sentinel-1's VH represents the signal wave formed horizontally after a radar wave emitted vertically is reflected by mangroves; ALOS PALSAR's HH represents the signal wave formed horizontally after a radar wave emitted horizontally is reflected by mangroves; and ALOS PALSAR's HV represents the signal wave formed vertically after a radar wave emitted horizontally is reflected by mangroves. These four radar backscattering features interact to reflect the growth environment provided by the boundary area where the mangroves are located. This growth environment, in turn, affects the overall tree height of the mangroves. Therefore, the average tree height of the mangroves can be estimated using these four radar backscattering features.
[0045] Example 2, based on Example 1, provides a training method for a random forest regression model. Specifically, it provides a pre-trained random forest regression model for Example 1. The training method includes constructing training samples, partitioning the training samples, and constructing a loss function. Constructing training samples includes the following specific steps S01, S02, S03, S04, and S05: S01, Obtain the global mangrove observation dataset, which includes spectral sample bands, topographic sample features, and radar backscatter sample features collected in the mangrove observation area, as well as tree height labels in the mangrove observation area.
[0046] The observation area differs from the boundary area mentioned above. The height of mangroves in the boundary area is unknown, while the height of mangroves in the observation area is known.
[0047] The spectral sample bands included are the same as those in Example 1, namely the twelve bands from B1 to B12. The terrain sample features also include elevation and slope, and the radar backscattering sample features also include Sentinel-1 VV, Sentinel-1 VH, ALOS PALSAR HH, and ALOS PALSAR HV.
[0048] The Sentinel-1 band and the PALSAR band have complementary penetration characteristics. That is, the Sentinel-1 band is sensitive to the top of the mangrove canopy, while the PALSAR band has stronger penetration capabilities and is more sensitive to the interior of the canopy and the trunk structure. The combination of the two can provide the model with more comprehensive information on the vertical structure of mangroves.
[0049] Tree height labels are RH98 data of mangroves in the observation area obtained through GEDI. RH98 data represents the canopy height of mangroves in the observation area.
[0050] GEDI represents the data of mangroves in the observation area obtained by lidar. The lidar emits lasers into the mangroves. After the laser pulses illuminate the ground, some of the energy is reflected back by the ground, canopy, and branches at different heights. The lidar receiver records the waveform of the returned energy changing over time and accumulates the waveform point by point from the ground upwards to obtain the cumulative energy curve. When the cumulative energy reaches 98% of the total energy, the corresponding height is RH98.
[0051] S02, the original values of the radar backscatter sample features are standardized and transformed to obtain the dB values of the radar backscatter sample features.
[0052] That is, the original values (DN) of Sentinel-1 VV, Sentinel-1 VH, ALOS PALSAR HH, and ALOS PALSAR HV contained in the radar backscatter sample features are standardized to obtain dB values.
[0053] dB = 10 * log10(DN²) - 83.0.
[0054] The Sentinel-1 in this embodiment is a Sentinel-1 that uses an ascent trajectory (ASCENDING). Data is used to reduce the impact of geometric distortion caused by orbital orientation.
[0055] S03, based on the numerical value of the tree height label, delete invalid labels from the tree height label to obtain the preprocessed tree height label.
[0056] In other words, the laser energy reflected back from the mangroves collected by GEDI is filtered based on GEDI's own quality label, retaining the laser energy with quality_flag equal to 1 and degrade_flag equal to 0. Based on the retained laser energy, RH98 is obtained. Then, the RH98 is checked for numerical range. For example, only RH98 values greater than 0 are retained to exclude invalid lidar measurements, so as to obtain the final RH98. The final RH98 is the tree height label after preprocessing.
[0057] S04, remove terrain sample features that are greater than the set value to obtain preprocessed terrain sample features.
[0058] This involves applying terrain-based quality control, for example, retaining only pixels with a slope of less than 30° to eliminate measurement errors in steep terrain areas.
[0059] S05, the spectral sample bands, the dB values, the preprocessed tree height labels, and the preprocessed terrain sample features are transformed into the same coordinate system to obtain training samples.
[0060] This embodiment also obtains the remote sensing sample index based on the spectral sample band. This process is the same as obtaining the remote sensing index from the spectral band in step S300, and will not be described in detail here.
[0061] This embodiment converts positive or negative infinity values appearing in the spectral sample bands into missing values (NaN), calculates the mean for each band, and uses this mean to fill in the missing positions through interpolation, resulting in the interpolated spectral sample bands. This method recovers some feature data lost due to remote sensing image quality issues without significantly introducing bias.
[0062] For tree height labels, all locations with missing or infinite values are directly removed to ensure that the target values used for training are derived from reliable measurement results and have clear physical meaning.
[0063] Finally, in this embodiment, the interpolated spectral sample bands, dB values, remote sensing sample indices, preprocessed tree height labels (after removing missing and infinite values), and preprocessed terrain sample features are all spatially registered under the same coordinate system (UTM) on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. All data sources are resampled to 25-meter resolution using bilinear interpolation and uniformly converted to floating-point type to maintain data continuity and eliminate spatial differences between different data sources, thus obtaining training samples.
[0064] The integrity and stability of the training samples are significantly improved, while retaining the maximum number of usable samples. This effectively avoids interference from non-mangrove areas and remote sensing outliers on the model, ensuring the stability, interpretability, and generalization ability of the model training.
[0065] This embodiment uses training samples to train a random forest regression model. Before training, the training samples are divided into training and test sets in a 70%:30% ratio. The loss function used for model training is mean squared error (MSE). The training terminates when a preset number of iterations (i.e., the number of decision trees in the random forest) is reached. The model performance is comprehensively evaluated using four metrics: mean squared error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and coefficient of determination (R²). After the model training is complete, it is saved in a general model format for use by the subsequent region prediction module.
[0066] In summary, this invention employs a random forest regression model with excellent nonlinear fitting capabilities for modeling. This model is combined with multi-source satellite remote sensing data and leverages the efficient data processing capabilities of Google Earth Engine (GEE). This combination allows the model to fully utilize the complementary advantages of different remote sensing data sources, effectively capturing the nonlinear relationship between mangrove tree height and complex environmental factors, thereby significantly improving prediction accuracy and generalization ability on a large scale.
