Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of infrared remote sensing monitoring, specifically to a method and system for correcting changes in infrared radiation on the Earth's surface observed by remote sensing satellites. Background Technology
[0002] Infrared remote sensing is a crucial tool for monitoring surface temperature, energy balance, fires, and environmental changes. Due to the need for satellite orbit, attitude adjustments, or side-swing observations, observations of the same ground target are often conducted at different times and under different sensor deflection angles. Changes in the sensor's observation angle alter the optical path, atmospheric effects, and the effective radiation direction of the target object, leading to significant differences in the apparent radiance of the same object observed at different angles (i.e., the angle effect). This radiation difference, which is not a reflection of the actual changes in the ground object itself, severely interferes with the application of time-series-based infrared remote sensing data, such as long-term trend analysis of surface temperature and dynamic monitoring of disasters.
[0003] Currently, traditional radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction can only eliminate the sensor's own response and atmospheric effects along the vertical path, but cannot effectively correct radiometric distortion caused by changes in the observation angle. Some existing angle correction models often rely on complex two-way reflection / radiation distribution function (BRDF / BTDF) models, which require multi-angle synchronous observation data or prior knowledge base support. They are computationally complex, have poor universality, and are difficult to apply operationally to historical archive data or satellite observation sequences from a single angle.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that does not rely on multi-angle synchronous observation, is computationally efficient, and can effectively normalize the observed radiation values under different deflection angles, in order to obtain time-series infrared radiation data that truly reflects changes in the physical state of the Earth's surface. Summary of the Invention

S2: Based on surface radiance or surface temperature data, select pseudo-invariant feature points within the target area, and establish a model of the relationship between the sensor-observed zenith angle and the surface radiation value based on the pseudo-invariant feature points; S3: Set the standard reference observation zenith angle, and calculate the normalized radiance values of the observed zenith angles to the standard reference observation zenith angle based on the relational model; S4: Apply the normalized correction coefficient to the entire scene image and perform multiplicative correction on the original radiometric value of each pixel; S5: Repeat steps S1-S4 on multi-temporal infrared remote sensing images to generate angle-normalized time-series radiation datasets, thereby realizing the correction of changes in surface infrared radiation observed by remote sensing satellites.

[0012] The beneficial effect of the above-mentioned further scheme is that, based on the above calculation formula, a relationship model between the sensor-observed zenith angle and the surface radiation value is established.
[0013] Furthermore, the relational model The construction methods include: Cosine model based on the Lambertian approximation:

[0015] The beneficial effect of the above-mentioned further solutions is that the present invention can construct a relational model based on any of the above methods. .
[0016] Furthermore, the method for selecting pseudo-invariant feature points within the target area includes: using the stability of vegetation index, surface reflectance, or nighttime light data over a long time series for screening, and selecting several uniform pixels whose surface physical properties remain stable during the observation period as pseudo-invariant feature points.
[0017] The beneficial effect of the above further scheme is that, within the target area, several uniform pixels whose surface physical properties remain stable during the observation period are selected as pseudo-invariant feature points (PIFs).

[0020] The beneficial effect of the above further scheme is that the correction process is achieved through the above formula. That is, for the angle Normalized correction coefficient This is used for subsequent multiplication correction of the original radiation value of each pixel.
[0021] Furthermore, the normalized correction coefficient is applied to the entire scene image, and the original radiometric value of each pixel is multiplied for correction. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0038] Example 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, a method for correcting changes in infrared radiation of the Earth's surface observed by remote sensing satellites includes the following steps: S1: Acquire multi-scene infrared band data and corresponding sensor observation zenith angles, and perform radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction on the infrared band data to obtain surface radiance or surface temperature data, including: Multiple infrared band data from the same remote sensing satellite platform observed the same target area at different times are acquired. Radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction are performed on each data scene to obtain surface radiance or surface temperature data. At the same time, the sensor's zenith angle for each pixel in each data scene is extracted from the satellite auxiliary data.
[0039] S2: Based on surface radiance or surface temperature data, select pseudo-invariant feature points within the target area, and establish a model of the relationship between the sensor-observed zenith angle and the surface radiation value based on the pseudo-invariant feature points; The model relating the zenith angle observed by the sensor to the Earth's surface radiation value is as follows:
[0040] in, This represents the surface radiation value. For relational models, To enable sensors to observe the zenith angle from the ground, This is the residual.
[0041] relational model It can be preferably an analytical function based on physical mechanisms or an empirical fitting function based on statistical learning.
[0042] The relation model The construction methods include: Cosine model based on the Lambertian approximation:
[0043] in, For the sensor to observe vertically (observing the zenith angle) The target radiation signal received at 0° is the model's baseline reference value.
[0044] A correction model based on atmospheric radiative transfer: a relational model is generated through simulation using simplified atmospheric radiative transfer equations. ; Statistical Nonparametric Fitting Model: Utilizing Pseudo-Invariant Feature Points The L-shaped scatter plot was used to obtain the relational model through nonparametric fitting using local weighted regression or spline functions. .
[0045] Methods for selecting pseudo-invariant feature points within the target area include: using the stability of long-term vegetation index, surface reflectance, or nighttime light data for screening, and selecting several uniform pixels whose surface physical properties remain stable during the observation period as pseudo-invariant feature points.
[0046] S3: Set the standard reference observation zenith angle, and calculate the normalized radiance values of the observed zenith angles to the standard reference observation zenith angle based on the relational model; In remote sensing satellite observations of geothermal infrared radiation, the infrared brightness temperature of the same surface target often varies significantly under different observation deflection angles due to the influence of orbital scanning and sensor deflection imaging. This difference mainly stems from directional radiation distortion caused by changes in observation geometry, rather than actual changes in the surface thermal state, easily leading to false information in multi-temporal data. To address this issue, focusing on "lens deflection angle normalization," a directional normalization coefficient corresponding to the observation deflection angle is calculated to uniformly normalize and correct the brightness temperature at different angles. This eliminates systematic errors caused by changes in remote sensing satellite observation angles, improves the consistency and reliability of multi-temporal infrared remote sensing data, and provides stable angle standardization support for accurate monitoring of surface radiation changes.
[0047] In thermal infrared imaging, the failure to consider variations in zenith angle can lead to differences in radiation transmission paths, thus affecting the received radiation brightness and temperature. To eliminate this effect, zenith angle normalization is employed to normalize radiation data from different observation angles, ensuring their comparability.

Physical temperature T d Target rock emissivity Emissivity of the surrounding environment of the object The quantitative relationship was established using infrared brightness temperature observations of rock fragments. The rock fragment emissivity calculated from its physical temperature includes the true emissivity of the target rock fragments. and environmental radiative emissivity The combined effects of these factors are termed rock cutting pseudo-emissivity in this invention, and are related to the experimental observation environment, namely:
[0050] In actual space-to-ground observations, the influence of changes in the observed zenith angle also exists, and zenith angle correction is crucial for the inversion calculation of ground temperature. Considering the zenith angle... The impact of change, formula = It can be transformed into:
[0051] in, This represents the gray body radiation energy measured by an infrared thermal imager. This represents the lower limit of the observation band for infrared thermal imagers. This represents the upper limit of the observation band for infrared thermal imagers. This refers to the energy proportion coefficient related to the frequency band. This is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. Let be the value of the i-th specific zenith angle.
[0052] The normalization of the observed zenith angle effectively solved the problem of the influence of zenith angle variations on radiation temperature. To mitigate the impact of the target's false emissivity and eliminate observational bias, refer to the solution of multi-angle LST.

The surface emissivity of the target rock fragments; Let K be the surface physical temperature of the target rock fragment. The emissivity of the environment surrounding the observed object. This refers to the change in zenith angle; The directional index of emissivity change caused by zenith angle variation; for The calculated emissivity value obtained without considering the angle effect; for The physical temperature actually measured at the location.

Product generation module: This module is used to repeatedly perform the above processing on multi-temporal infrared remote sensing images to generate angle-normalized time-series radiation datasets, thereby realizing the correction of changes in infrared radiation on the Earth's surface observed by remote sensing satellites.
[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, in view of the problem of measurement deviation of the surface infrared radiation caused by the deflection of the sensor and the change of the scanning angle during the observation process of the remote sensing satellite, an indoor multi-zenith angle simulation observation experiment is constructed to systematically observe the infrared radiation responses of different lithologies and multi-grain surface targets under the conditions of small-angle swing scanning and large-angle deflection. By precisely controlling the observation geometric relationship, the variation law of the radiation temperature at different observation angles is obtained, and the deviation between the actual zenith angle and the nominal observation angle and its directional characteristics are quantified, revealing the systematic radiation distortion mechanism caused by multi-angle observation. This experiment provides a direct physical basis and data support for the "correction scheme for surface infrared radiation change based on deflection angle normalization" proposed in the patent, verifying the necessity and feasibility of angle unification and normalization processing of remote sensing infrared data.
[0064] In actual infrared applications, there are mainly two observation methods: remote sensing satellites and drones. First, the remote sensing satellite observes the ground ( Figure 2 ), with a "m" - shaped swing observation. The observation angle variation range of the 4 observation lines (Line 1 - 4) is [-20°, 20°], which is called the small - angle observation experiment (abbreviated as E1 experiment). Second, the drone carries an infrared thermal imager for observation ( Figure 3 ), and the distribution of the measurement points is in the shape of ", and the observation angle variation range at 6 groups of observation points (Points 1 - 6) is , which is called the large - angle observation experiment (abbreviated as E2 experiment). Among them, the observation parameters of the small - angle and large - angle observation experiments are shown in Tables 1 and 2. In the tables is the height between the observation lens and the rock debris stage, is the horizontal distance between the observation lens and the rock debris stage, is the variation of the observation zenith angle.

The rock debris stage is placed in a black box to isolate the influence of the surrounding background radiation. The black box is placed on a flatbed truck, and the flatbed truck is pushed along the calibrated position to form variation of the observation zenith angle; in the large - angle variation observation experiment, the observation height of the infrared thermal imager is adjusted by a lifting frame to form variation of the observation zenith angle.

A system for correcting changes in infrared radiation observed from the Earth's surface by remote sensing satellites as described in any one of claims 1-7, characterized in that, include: Data preprocessing module: used to acquire multiple infrared band data and corresponding sensor observation zenith angles, and to perform radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction on the infrared band data to obtain surface radiance or surface temperature data. Model building module: Used to select pseudo-invariant feature points within the target area based on surface radiance or surface temperature data, and to establish a model of the relationship between sensor-observed zenith angle and surface radiation value based on the pseudo-invariant feature points; Corrected radiation calculation module: used to set the standard reference observation zenith angle and calculate the normalized corrected radiation value of the observed radiation value under different observation zenith angles to the standard reference observation zenith angle based on the relational model; Global Correction Module: This module applies normalized correction coefficients to the entire scene image, performing multiplicative correction on the original radiometric value of each pixel. Product generation module: This module is used to repeatedly perform the above processing on multi-temporal infrared remote sensing images to generate angle-normalized time-series radiation datasets, thereby realizing the correction of changes in infrared radiation on the Earth's surface observed by remote sensing satellites.
