Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ecological and environmental remote sensing technology, and in particular to a method for inverting daily canopy water content by coupling optical and microwave remote sensing. Background Technology

[0002] Canopy water content is a crucial physiological and ecological parameter reflecting vegetation water status, transpiration processes, water stress, and photosynthetic efficiency. Timely monitoring of vegetation water status is therefore essential. Canopy water content can be expressed as the product of the leaf thickness (equal amount of water) and the leaf area index, and is also equivalent to the difference between the fresh mass and dry mass of the leaves. Traditional destructive ground sampling methods (drying and weighing) are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to implement on a large scale. Remote sensing technology, on the other hand, is a rapid, non-destructive, and multi-scale method for detecting the biophysical characteristics of vegetation. Therefore, utilizing remote sensing technology to achieve rapid, non-destructive, and large-area monitoring of vegetation water content has become a research hotspot in the field of remote sensing applications.

[0003] Estimating vegetation canopy water content based on satellite remote sensing mainly includes two types of methods: one is to invert vegetation canopy water content using statistical models or radiative transfer models based on optical imagery; the other is to invert vegetation optical thickness (VOD), an indicator of vegetation water content, based on microwave remote sensing and radiative transfer processes. These methods have certain advantages and disadvantages. Generally, optical imagery can invert the absolute value of canopy water content, directly indicating the vegetation water content situation. However, optical imagery is often affected by weather conditions such as clouds and rain, and although it has high spatial resolution, it suffers from significant data gaps, making daily-scale monitoring difficult. Microwave remote sensing belongs to the field of active remote sensing and has the advantage of high daily-scale data coverage. Its disadvantage is that it currently cannot directly invert canopy water content, but can only invert the exponential VOD, which indicates vegetation water content.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method for inverting vegetation canopy water content by coupling optical and microwave remote sensing, so as to achieve accurate estimation of canopy water content and provide reliable technical support for monitoring drought stress and studying vegetation physiological status. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a method for inverting diurnal canopy water content by coupling optical and microwave remote sensing, comprising the following steps: S1. Training samples are generated by forward simulation based on the radiative transfer model. Equivalent spectra are obtained by spectral convolution. The optimal feature combination and machine learning algorithm suitable for different vegetation types are determined through evaluation to obtain optical image canopy water content data. S2. Based on the zero-order microwave radiative transfer model, the single albedo of vegetation is optimized pixel by pixel, and the optical thickness data of vegetation is calculated using a multi-channel collaborative inversion algorithm. S3. Acquire and preprocess vegetation optical thickness data, vegetation type, vegetation index and meteorological data, and unify the resolution to 0.1°×0.1° to generate a raster dataset of input factors; S4. Based on the preprocessed vegetation optical thickness data, a sample dataset is formed by combining meteorological data, vegetation index, and vegetation type. Considering the cumulative effect of rainfall and the lag effect of vegetation optical thickness, an extreme gradient boosting machine learning estimation model is constructed. S5. For the raster dataset of input factors obtained in step S3, use the extreme gradient boosting machine learning estimation model in step S4 to estimate the daily vegetation canopy water content data.

S33. Obtain rainfall data from the MSWEP dataset, and calculate the cumulative rainfall over 1 to 30 days within the target period, with a daily time step. S34. Select vegetation function type data; S35. Unify the raster data to a resolution of 0.1°×0.1°. For categorical raster data, use the mode method to determine the category of the raster cell.

[0019] Example 1 The present invention will be further illustrated below using optical images and microwave data acquired by the Fengyun (FY) 3D satellite. The implementation examples are based on the technical solutions of the present invention. It should be understood that these examples are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for inverting diurnal canopy water content by coupling optics and microwave remote sensing is described, with the following specific steps: S1. Training samples are generated based on forward simulation of the radiative transfer model. Equivalent spectra are obtained through spectral convolution. The optimal feature combination and machine learning algorithm suitable for different vegetation types are determined through evaluation to obtain optical image canopy water content data.

[0021] Based on the PROSAIL radiative transfer model, canopy reflectance spectra of various vegetation types under different biophysical conditions were simulated. The PROSAIL and PROGeoSail models were used for forest types, while the PROSAIL model was used for farmland types. The spectral response function was then used to convert the reflectance to an equivalent reflectance consistent with the FY-3D sensor, and Gaussian noise was added. The specific formula is as follows: = ; In the formula, It is the simulated equivalent reflectance. It is the original spectral reflectance. It is the number of spectral bands within each band. Indicates the first The original spectral reflectance of each spectral band. Indicates the first Spectral response function of each spectral band; Based on this, equivalent reflectance, optical vegetation parameters constructed from it, and corresponding canopy water content were used as input and output variables. Exhaustive experiments were conducted on different combinations of feature variables to construct multiple candidate models. The final optical image canopy water content inversion model considering vegetation type was determined by the coefficient of determination and root mean square error. Global canopy water content data at the astronomical scale for some months in 2023 were generated and quality-screened, retaining pixels with a leaf area index greater than 0 and a daily rainfall of 0. These pixels were then rasterized and used as ground truth labels for subsequent machine learning.

[0022] S2. Based on the zero-order microwave radiative transfer model, the single albedo of vegetation is optimized pixel by pixel, and the optical thickness data of vegetation is calculated using a multi-channel collaborative inversion algorithm.

[0023] Based on the zero-order microwave radiative transfer model, the single albedo of vegetation is optimized pixel by pixel, and a multi-channel collaborative inversion algorithm is used to calculate global VOD data. The calculation formula for the zero-order microwave radiative transfer model is: ; in, Indicates the observed brightness temperature. Indicates the emissivity of rough soil. and These are vegetation emission and transmission terms, representing the emission and transmission behavior of microwave signals in vegetation, respectively. First, brightness temperature observation data from six dual-polarization channels (10H, 10V, 18H, 18V, 23H, 23V) of the FY-3D satellite were preprocessed, and channel 10H was identified as the core channel for inversion. Second, position parameters were initialized. ,in, It is based on day data obtained from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model, using multi-year averages. The main method involves determining the brightness of different vegetation types using auxiliary files from the SMOS SM inversion algorithm; then, the brightness of the core channel is determined based on the relationship between the brightness temperatures of each channel. The simulated brightness temperature of the cooperative channel is calculated. Then, a cost function is established, and the parameters are updated by minimizing the difference between the observed brightness temperature and the simulated brightness temperature. This process is repeated iteratively until the cost function converges, yielding the final parameter estimates. Finally, based on the corrected model, the VOD value for each channel is calculated.

[0024] S3. Acquire and preprocess vegetation optical thickness data, vegetation type, vegetation index (normalized vegetation index and enhanced vegetation index) and meteorological data (rainfall and water vapor pressure deficit), and unify the resolution to 0.1°×0.1° to generate a raster dataset of input factors.

[0025] The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) were calculated based on the MODIS surface reflectance dataset (MOD09GA), and quality screening was performed to remove invalid values ​​affected by aerosols, sensors, and other factors.

[0026] Obtain the ERA5 reanalysis dataset, calculate the hourly vapor pressure deficit (VPD) based on the hourly 2-meter temperature data and dew point temperature data of the dataset, and synthesize the daily average value of the hourly vapor pressure deficit.

[0027] Obtain rainfall data from the MSWEP dataset, and calculate the cumulative rainfall over 1 day, 2 days, ..., 30 days within the target time period, using daily as the time step.

[0028] Obtain the vegetation function type dataset (MCD12Q1) from MODIS, select the vegetation function type data, remove non-vegetated areas, i.e. retain type codes 1-8.

[0029] The raster data was standardized to a resolution of 0.1° × 0.1°, resulting in a 3600 × 1800 raster image set. For categorical raster data, the mode method was used to determine the category of each raster cell. For numerical data, grid mean aggregation was performed with a target grid size of 0.1°. The specific calculation method is as follows: ; in, For a 0.1° grid cell value, This represents the number of raster cells. These are the original raster cell values. Indicates the first Each raster pixel Indicates the row number of the raster cell. This indicates the column number of the raster cell.

[0030] S4. Based on the preprocessed vegetation optical thickness data, a sample dataset is formed by combining meteorological data, vegetation indices, and vegetation types. Considering the cumulative effect of rainfall and the lag effect of vegetation optical thickness, an extreme gradient boosting machine learning estimation model is constructed. For example... Figure 2 As shown, based on VOD, NDVI, EVI, PFT, VPD, and rainfall data, and considering the lag effect of VOD (3 to 18 days) and the cumulative effect of rainfall (2 to 30 days), an extreme gradient improvement machine learning estimation model with high accuracy R is established. 2The value is 0.63, and the RMSE is 0.06.

[0031] The canopy water content data obtained in step S1 is used as the true value and quality screening is performed to retain areas with a leaf area index greater than 0 and a rainfall of 0 on that day.

[0032] Based on the canopy water content data from optical imagery obtained in step S1, the vegetation optical thickness data from step S2 is extracted and combined with rainfall, vapor pressure deficit, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), enhanced vegetation index (EDI), and vegetation functional type to form a sample dataset. Rainfall is calculated on a daily time step, with cumulative rainfall over 2 days, ..., 30 days within the target time period to quantify the impact of cumulative rainfall effects at different time scales on canopy water content. The lag between VOD and leaf growth is also considered, with lags of 3 days, 6 days, ..., 18 days.

[0033] The sample dataset was divided into a test set and a training set, and a 100km test set was used. A 100km spatial partitioning method was used to avoid feature leakage and ensure a uniform distribution of vegetation types within the training and testing sets. Water vapor pressure deficit, normalized difference in vegetation index, enhanced vegetation index, and vegetation function type were used as fixed features. Rainfall with different cumulative durations and vegetation optical thickness with different lag durations were paired, and the optimal feature combination was determined based on the coefficient of determination and root mean square error using five-fold cross-validation. An extreme gradient boosting machine learning estimation model was then constructed.

[0034] S5. For the raster dataset of input factors obtained in step S3, use the extreme gradient boosting machine learning estimation model in step S4 to estimate the daily vegetation canopy water content data.

[0035] Using the extreme gradient boosting machine learning estimation model constructed in step S4, pixel-by-pixel estimation is performed on the input factor raster dataset generated in step S3 to obtain daily vegetation canopy water content data.

[0036] S6. Using the vegetation canopy water content data obtained in step S5, fill in the missing areas in the optical image canopy water content data obtained in step S1, thereby obtaining global daily-scale vegetation canopy water content data.

[0037] The global daily-scale vegetation canopy water content data is calculated using an extreme gradient boosting machine learning estimation model. Pixels with a leaf area index less than 0 are removed and merged with the optical image canopy water content data from step S1 to obtain the incomplete global daily-scale vegetation canopy water content data.

[0038] Statistical results show that the number of pixels estimating the vegetation canopy water content based on VOD is 293,000, and the number of missing pixels is 576,800, accounting for 50.80% of the missing area on that day.

[0039] Therefore, this invention employs a diurnal canopy water content inversion method that couples optical and microwave remote sensing, achieving diurnal and spatiotemporally continuous canopy water content inversion. This effectively solves the data loss problem caused by cloud and rain interference in optical imagery, while also compensating for the limitation of microwave remote sensing in directly obtaining the absolute value of canopy water content. This method fully leverages the complementary advantages of high optical inversion accuracy and good microwave coverage. Using the inversion results from the physical radiative transfer model as training labels, it endows the machine learning model with good physical interpretability and extrapolation capabilities. Furthermore, by combining rainfall accumulation and the lag characteristics of vegetation optical thickness, it enhances the model's ability to characterize dynamic changes in vegetation moisture, thereby obtaining canopy water content products with both high spatiotemporal resolution and high reliability.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
