Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] With the development of remote sensing technology, hyperspectral remote sensing images and synthetic aperture radar images have become important data sources for vegetation monitoring and classification. Hyperspectral images can provide detailed spectral information in continuous bands, which can be used to characterize the reflection characteristics of plants under different electromagnetic wave bands. SAR images can obtain the structural scattering characteristics of ground objects under all-weather conditions, and are particularly sensitive to the geometric structure and scattering mechanism of vegetation in multi-polarization mode.
[0003] However, existing technologies still have significant shortcomings in plant target identification: on the one hand, hyperspectral images have high dimensionality and large data redundancy, resulting in low information extraction efficiency and susceptibility to noise; on the other hand, although SAR images can provide structural information, their scattering mechanisms are complex, making it difficult to accurately distinguish different plant categories when used alone; simultaneously, there are radiometric differences and geometric shifts between multi-source images, and without effective registration and feature fusion methods, inaccurate information alignment can easily occur, leading to unstable identification results.

[0022] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the plant target recognition method based on multi-source remote sensing image fusion includes the following steps: S1: Acquire hyperspectral remote sensing images and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of the same observation area, and perform radiometric calibration and geometric registration preprocessing on the hyperspectral remote sensing images and SAR images to obtain the registered hyperspectral images and registered SAR images.

Through the above polarimetric target decomposition steps, the geometric structural information contained in the SAR image is transformed into a physically meaningful scattering component expression, which can effectively enhance the ability to characterize the structural differences between different ground features and provide a more robust structural feature foundation for subsequent spectral information fusion and plant target identification.

Through the above steps, complementary spectral and scattering information from different remote sensing source images can be efficiently integrated to form a multi-source feature map with stronger fusion expression capabilities, providing a high-information, high-alignment input foundation for subsequent target region segmentation and plant category identification.

The fused image serves as the unified input data for subsequent processing stages. By employing a pixel-by-pixel feature vector stitching method, the above steps can fully preserve the independent structure and joint representation capabilities of both spectral and scattering information. This allows the fused image to maintain spatial consistency while enhancing the expressive power of feature dimensions, thereby improving the accuracy and discriminative power of subsequent plant region identification.
