Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of computer vision and remote sensing image processing technology, and in particular to a method for identifying potential hazards in corrugated steel roofing along railway lines based on SAR polarization channel guidance. Background Technology

[0002] Corrugated steel roofing sheets are widely distributed in industrial parks, logistics parks, warehousing bases, and urban and rural construction land. Their spatial distribution and expansion pattern are closely related to local industrial layout, safety production management, and illegal construction. Accurate identification and dynamic monitoring of corrugated steel roofing sheets, especially in sensitive areas such as along railway lines, are of great significance for planning management and risk prevention.

[0003] Traditional methods for identifying color steel roof tiles primarily rely on on-site surveys and manual or semi-automatic interpretation based on high-resolution optical images. These methods are labor-intensive, subjective, and have long update cycles, making it difficult to meet the operational demands for "high-frequency updates and automated processing." Furthermore, optical remote sensing is easily affected by cloud cover and lighting conditions, leading to insufficient data timeliness and availability in cloudy, rainy areas or emergency monitoring scenarios.

[0004] Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) possesses all-weather, all-day imaging capabilities, unaffected by cloud cover or lighting conditions. Dual-polarization SAR satellites, such as Sentinel-1, provide a stable data foundation for identifying potential hazards in corrugated steel roofing when optical data is lacking or obscured by clouds or fog. However, SAR images suffer from significant speckle noise and a mixed effect from the superposition of multiple scattering mechanisms. Most existing SAR-based methods for corrugated steel roofing detection involve independent filtering or feature construction of polarization channels such as VV and VH, failing to fully utilize the polarization scattering characteristics of corrugated steel roofing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is how to provide a method for identifying hidden dangers of corrugated steel roofing along railway lines based on SAR polarization channel guidance, which has high identification accuracy and good identification robustness.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for identifying hidden dangers of corrugated steel roofing sheets along railway lines based on SAR polarization channel guidance, characterized by the following steps:

[0007] S1. Acquire Sentinel-1 images covering the study area along the railway line, label the color steel tile and non-color steel tile sample points in the study area, and divide the sample dataset into training set and test set. The Sentinel-1 images include the backscattering coefficients of the VV polarization channel and the VH polarization channel.

[0008] S2, performs logarithmic transformation on the VV and VH polarization channel images in the linear domain, and performs structure-detail decomposition based on polarization channel guidance in the logarithmic domain;

[0009] S3 performs structure-detail decomposition guided by polarization channels at small, medium and large scales respectively, and adopts an adaptive fusion strategy to adaptively adjust the weights of structural components and detail components at each scale according to the local texture intensity, thereby obtaining fused multi-scale structural components and detail components.

[0010] S4, using the fused multi-scale structural components to construct the polarization channel guide structure index CG_SBI;

[0011] S5, using the fused multi-scale structural components and detail components to construct a polarization channel joint guidance structure – detail ratio index JG_SDRI, where the polarization channel joint guidance includes both polarization channel self-guidance and polarization channel inter-guidance;

[0012] S6. The polarization channel guidance structure index CG_SBI, the polarization channel joint guidance structure-detail ratio index JG_SDRI, the backscattering coefficient of the VV polarization channel and the backscattering coefficient of the VH polarization channel are combined into a feature vector. A random forest classifier is trained based on the training set samples to obtain the color steel tile hidden danger identification model.

[0013] S7 uses a color steel tile hazard identification model to predict test set samples, calculates confusion matrix and various accuracy indicators, and identifies color steel tile hazards on the entire Sentinel-1 image.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the method enables the structural estimation of the VH polarization channel to benefit from the guidance of the VV polarization channel, making full use of the scattering characteristics of the color steel tile, which exhibits strong backscattering in the VV polarization channel but has a weaker response in the VH polarization channel, and significantly reducing the structural estimation instability caused by the weak signal and heavy speckle noise in the VH polarization channel.

[0015] By using the variance of VV polarization channel images within a local window as a measure of texture intensity, the fusion weights of small-scale, medium-scale, and large-scale structural components and detail components are adaptively adjusted. This enhances fine-scale structures in areas with complex textures and strengthens large-scale structures in flat background areas. While meeting the requirements of speckle suppression and background smoothing, this approach also takes into account and strengthens the preservation of structural details of the corrugated steel tile target, achieving a better overall balance.

[0016] The CG_SBI and JG_SDRI indices were constructed. Based on the guidance between polarization channels, the former highlights the polarization scattering advantage of VV over VH in a smooth and stable structural characterization, improving the distinguishability of corrugated steel tile hazards from background features. The latter, by comprehensively characterizing the differences in structural dominance and detail undulation between the VV and VH polarization channels, ensures that corrugated steel tile hazards maintain high discriminability and robustness of identification even in complex backgrounds.

However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Overall, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this invention discloses a method for identifying potential hazards in color steel roofing sheets along railway lines based on SAR polarization channel guidance, comprising the following steps:

[0026] S1. Obtain Sentinel-1 images covering the study area along the railway line from the GEE platform, mark the color steel tile and non-color steel tile sample points in the study area, and divide the sample dataset into training set and test set.

[0027] S2 performs a logarithmic transformation on the VV and VH polarization channel images in the linear domain, and performs structure-detail decomposition based on polarization channel guidance in the logarithmic domain. This fully utilizes the stronger and more stable backscattering physical properties of the color steel tile in the VV polarization channel compared to the VH polarization channel to obtain a more robust structural characterization and noise suppression.

[0028] S3 performs structure-detail decomposition guided by polarization channels at small, medium and large scales respectively, and adopts an adaptive fusion strategy to adaptively adjust the weights of structural components and detail components at each scale according to the local texture intensity, thereby obtaining fused multi-scale structural components and detail components.

[0030] S5. The fused multi-scale structural components and detail components are used to construct the joint-guided structure-detail ratio index JG_SDRI (Joint-Guided Structure-Detail Ratio Index), in which the joint guidance of polarization channels includes both self-guidance of polarization channels and guidance between polarization channels.

[0031] S6. The backscattering coefficients of CG_SBI, JG_SDRI, VV polarization channel and VH polarization channel are used to form a feature vector. A random forest classifier is trained based on the training set samples to obtain the color steel tile hidden danger identification model.

[0032] S7 uses a color steel tile hazard identification model to predict test set samples, calculates confusion matrix and various accuracy indicators, and identifies color steel tile hazards on the entire Sentinel-1 image.

[0036] S1-2) Data Labeling and Classification: Different land features in the study area were labeled from optical remote sensing images through manual visual interpretation. The land feature types in the study area were divided into seven main categories: corrugated steel roofing, vegetation, bare land, highways, railways, water bodies, and buildings. 600 representative sample points of corrugated steel roofing were labeled, and 150 sample points of each of the other categories were labeled, for a total of 1500 sample points. The original seven categories were transformed into a binary classification problem, with corrugated steel roofing marked as 0, and all other categories (vegetation, bare land, highways, railways, water bodies, and buildings) uniformly marked as 1 (non-corrugated steel roofing).

[0116] Compared to VH polarization channels, the VV polarization channels of color steel roofing sheets typically exhibit stronger and more stable backscattering. To reduce the interference of speckle and detail noise on the polarization difference measurement, the polarization scattering advantage of VV over VH is highlighted at the structural level, and the inter-polarization channel guiding structure index CG_SBI is constructed.

[0125] Specifically, step S7 includes:

[0126] The various accuracy metrics include overall accuracy (OA), Kappa coefficient, and producer accuracy (PA), user accuracy (UA), and F1 score for the color steel tile category.

[0127] To verify the effectiveness of the method proposed in this application, an experiment was first conducted on the Sentinel-1 image, and the experimental results are shown in Table 1.

[0128] Table 1 Experimental results based on Sentinel-1 images

[0129]

[0130] In a pure SAR scenario using only Sentinel-1 imagery with dual VV and VH channels, experimental results show that the detection performance of corrugated steel roof tiles is significantly improved by introducing the inter-polarity channel guided structure index CG_SBI and the joint polarity channel guided structure-detail ratio index JG_SDRI. Compared with the random forest baseline using only the original intensities of VV and VH, the addition of CG_SBI increases the PA, UA, and F1 scores of the corrugated steel roof tile category by approximately 4 percentage points, OA by approximately 3.3 percentage points, and Kappa by approximately 7 percentage points. This demonstrates that, based on inter-polarity channel guidance, CG_SBI can highlight the polarization scattering advantage of VV over VH in a smooth and stable structural representation, thereby improving the distinguishability of corrugated steel roof tile targets from background features. Figure 4 The confusion matrix of the model after adding CG_SBI is shown. The TP of the corrugated steel tile category is 145 and the FN is 35, while the TN of the non-corrugated steel tile category is 237 and the FP is 33. The high proportion of diagonal elements indicates that the model after adding CG_SBI has a good ability to distinguish between the two types of land cover. Figure 5This paper presents the spatial distribution results of corrugated steel roof tiles in the entire Sentinel-1 image, using a random forest classifier trained with the CG_SBI index. Based on polarization channel guidance and self-guided fusion, JG_SDRI comprehensively characterizes the differences in structural dominance and detail undulation between the VV and VH polarization channels, enabling corrugated steel roof tile hazard targets to maintain high discriminability and robustness in complex backgrounds, while also delivering stable accuracy gains, although the improvement is slightly lower than that of CG_SBI.

[0131] Based on the experiments relying solely on Sentinel-1 imagery, it can be verified that the proposed polarization channel guided structure-decomposition of details and its constructed CG_SBI and JG_SDRI indices can significantly improve the detection accuracy of color steel tiles even without optical information. Building upon this, to further examine the applicability and robustness of this method in multi-source data scenarios, this application designs supplementary experiments using fused Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images as the data source to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method in high-dimensional optical-radar feature spaces.

[0132] Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 fused images of railway lines were acquired during the summer of 2024 (June 1 to August 31). The study area was a 1 km buffer zone on both sides of some railway lines within Xinhua District, Qiaoxi District, and Luquan District of Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. For Sentinel-1 SAR data, images with IW imaging mode, VV / VH dual polarization, and 10m resolution within this period were selected and generated as seasonal SAR images through median composite. For Sentinel-2 optical data, images with cloud cover below 30% during the same period were selected, and cloud masking denoising was performed using the SCL band, retaining bands B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B8A, B11, and B12, which were also composited using median composite. Finally, the VV and VH bands of the Sentinel-1 images were spatially registered and stacked with the 10 bands of the Sentinel-2 images at the pixel scale to generate a fused image with a uniform 10m resolution.

[0133] Table 2. Experimental results based on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 fused images

[0134]

[0135] In the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 fused imagery scenario, under the high accuracy conditions of already including VV, VH, and 10 optical bands, with a baseline F1 score of 93.44% and a Kappa of nearly 89%, the further introduction of CG_SBI and JG_SDRI still showed a clear gain effect. The results showed that adding CG_SBI slightly improved the detection accuracy, mainly reflected in the improvement of producer accuracy (PA) for color steel tile categories; while adding JG_SDRI improved the F1 score to 94.05%, OA to 95.11%, and Kappa to 89.91%, achieving the best overall performance. This indicates that this index can provide additional discriminative information from the perspective of polarization structure-detail ratio, given that the optical spectral and texture features are already relatively complete, thus effectively complementing the multi-source high-dimensional features and further improving the overall accuracy and robustness of the color steel tile detection model.

The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this disclosure. Various changes and modifications can be made to this disclosure without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present disclosure as claimed.
