Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of hydrological remote sensing and water resources management in arid areas, and particularly to a method for estimating oasis water consumption by multi-source evapotranspiration fusion and dynamic weight optimization. Background Technology
[0002] Oases are core components of arid zone ecosystems, and accurate estimation of their water consumption plays a crucial supporting role in regional water resource allocation, ecosystem protection, and sustainable development decisions. Oasis ecosystems are highly heterogeneous, containing various land cover types such as farmland, natural vegetation, desert transition zones, water bodies, saline-alkali land, and urban built-up areas. The evapotranspiration processes of these different types differ significantly in their driving mechanisms, spatiotemporal variability, and responses to water stress. This makes oasis water consumption estimation a far more complex challenge than that for general watersheds or homogeneous underlying surfaces.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream methods for estimating regional evapotranspiration (ET) can be categorized as follows: energy balance models based on physical mechanisms (such as SEBS and METRIC), empirical and semi-empirical models based on vegetation index parameterization (such as PT-JPL), water balance models based on hydrological processes, and data-driven methods that have emerged in recent years (such as machine learning models). Each of these methods has its specific applicable conditions and data dependencies, and each has significant limitations in practical applications in oasis environments.
[0004] In the field of multi-source data fusion, Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) is one of the most widely used frameworks. BMA achieves good results in hydrological forecasting and integrated climate prediction by weighting and averaging the posterior probabilities of each model. However, the BMA method has the following fundamental limitations in oasis ET fusion: First, the weights of BMA are fitted from historical training periods, which are static posterior weights and cannot respond to the real-time time-varying characteristics of data source quality. Second, the BMA framework assumes that the errors of each model follow a normal distribution and are spatially homogeneous, failing to distinguish the differentiated applicability of each model to different land cover types within the oasis. Third, BMA is essentially a purely statistical framework and does not embed physical conservation equations, which may produce fusion results that violate energy balance or water conservation under extreme water stress conditions. Fourth, the uncertainty quantification of classic BMA and its extended variants (such as EB-BMA) depends on parametric model assumptions; when multi-source data are fused under non-Gaussian error structures, the confidence interval estimation exhibits systematic bias.
[0005] The main shortcomings of existing research and technical solutions are reflected in the following four aspects: First, there is the issue of fixed weights in multi-source data fusion. When fusing remote sensing products (such as MOD16 and GLASS-ET), site observation data, and model outputs, existing methods (including BMA) generally use static weights based on statistical errors, which remain unchanged once calibrated. However, the accuracy of different ET data sources dynamically changes with seasons, meteorological conditions (such as cloud cover, alternation of wet and dry periods), and surface conditions. Fixed weights cannot reflect the time-varying characteristics of the relative reliability of each data source, resulting in a significant decrease in the accuracy of the fusion results during critical water-consuming periods (such as the spring greening period and peak irrigation periods).
[0006] Second, there is the problem of unquantified error propagation. Existing fusion frameworks typically only provide point estimates of ET, lacking a systematic characterization of the uncertainties of each data source and a quantification of their propagation patterns during the fusion process. When multiple data sources simultaneously exhibit high uncertainties at a certain time (such as continuous rain leading to a deterioration in the quality of optical remote sensing products), the errors in the fusion results will be amplified by superposition, but existing methods cannot identify and control this process.
[0007] Third, the issue of overlooking differences in land cover types. The evapotranspiration mechanisms of different land cover types within oases differ fundamentally: farmland evapotranspiration (ET) is regulated by irrigation systems, exhibiting strong anthropogenic characteristics; natural vegetation ET is constrained by both soil moisture and groundwater depth; soil evaporation and transpiration from sparse vegetation in desert transition zones need to be estimated separately; and ET in urban built-up areas is primarily driven by impermeable surfaces trapping evaporation and green vegetation transpiration, which differs significantly from natural land cover mechanisms. Existing methods use a uniform fusion framework for the entire region, neglecting this internal heterogeneity and leading to systemic bias.
[0008] Fourth, the problem of missing physical constraints. Most data fusion methods are based on a purely mathematical and statistical framework, failing to embed the energy balance equation (net radiation = latent heat + sensible heat + soil heat flux) and the water balance equation (precipitation + irrigation = ET + runoff + soil water change) as hard constraints into the fusion process. This can lead to physical inconsistencies in the fusion results, especially under extreme conditions of water stress, resulting in estimations that exceed the upper limit of energy supply or violate water conservation.
[0009] Fifth, the limitations of distribution assumptions in uncertainty quantification methods. Existing methods (including BMA) generally assume that the errors of each data source follow a parameterized normal or t-distribution when quantifying ET fusion uncertainty. However, the error distribution of Oasis ET data sources often exhibits heavy-tailed, skewed, or even multimodal characteristics under conditions such as cloud pollution and irrigation abrupt changes. The parametric model assumptions lead to a serious underestimation of the confidence interval, which in turn affects the reliability of the decision. Summary of the Invention
[0010] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in existing technologies, this invention provides a multi-source evapotranspiration fusion and dynamic weight optimization method for estimating oasis water consumption. This method solves the problem of how to maximize the complementary advantages of multi-source evapotranspiration data under highly heterogeneous underlying surface conditions in oases through dynamic weight adjustment, uncertainty control, and physical constraint embedding, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of regional water consumption estimation.
[0011] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is: a method for estimating oasis water consumption based on multi-source evapotranspiration fusion and dynamic weight optimization, comprising: S1: Based on the acquired multi-source evapotranspiration data, an evaluation mechanism is used to obtain the data quality index of each data source. S2: Based on the acquired multi-temporal high-resolution remote sensing images, the oasis study area is divided into multiple functional zones using a surface classification strategy to obtain a partition mask. S3: Based on multi-source evapotranspiration data and partitioning masks, the Riemannian manifold theory of information geometry is used to quantify the multi-source uncertainty of data from each data source in each functional area, and the error covariance matrix of each data source is obtained. S4: Based on the data quality index and multi-source evapotranspiration data, the spatiotemporal adaptive dynamic weights of each data source in each functional area are calculated using the physically enhanced variational Bayesian adaptive weight update mechanism. S5: Based on spatiotemporal adaptive dynamic weights, multi-source evapotranspiration data and error covariance matrix, combined with partitioning mask, hierarchical weighted fusion and covariance propagation are performed to obtain the preliminary fused evapotranspiration field and fused uncertainty field. S6: Based on the preliminary evapotranspiration field, the final evapotranspiration field of each functional area is obtained by using the energy balance model and the water balance model for dual physical constraint correction. S7: Based on the final evapotranspiration field and the fusion uncertainty field, spatial integration and error propagation calculations are performed to obtain the total water consumption of the oasis and its confidence interval, thus completing the oasis water consumption estimation.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a method for estimating oasis water consumption by multi-source evapotranspiration fusion and dynamic weight optimization. By introducing the information geometry Riemannian manifold theory to quantify the uncertainty of each data source, the error covariance matrix is obtained. Compared with the error estimation of traditional Euclidean space, it can handle complex error scenarios more robustly and retain the spatial correlation structure of the error.
[0013] By utilizing a physically enhanced variational Bayesian adaptive weight update mechanism to calculate spatiotemporally adaptive dynamic weights, we overcome the shortcomings of static weight fixation and reliance on subjective experience in traditional methods, and realize the adaptive response of weights to changes in data source quality.
[0014] By constructing a partitioned mask based on high-resolution remote sensing imagery and combining the mask with layered weighted fusion, the heterogeneity of the internal structure of the oasis surface is specifically addressed, allowing different data sources to maximize their advantages on the most suitable surface types.
[0015] By using energy balance and water balance models to perform dual physical constraint correction on the preliminary evapotranspiration field, it is ensured that the final evapotranspiration field does not violate physical laws in both the upper limit of energy supply and the macroscopic water balance, thus achieving physical self-consistency of the results.
[0016] Further, S1 includes: Based on the acquired multi-source evapotranspiration data and corresponding cloud cover data, temporal continuity indicators, irrigation pulse flags and crop coefficients, the cloud pollution self-enhancing penalty term, the cloud pollution modulation temporal continuity coupling term and the land surface type-specific nonlinear deviation penalty term are calculated respectively. By combining the cloud pollution self-enhancing penalty term, the cloud pollution modulation temporal continuity coupling term, and the surface type-specific nonlinear deviation penalty term, the data quality index of each data source is obtained.
[0017] The superlinear decay design of the contamination self-enhancing penalty term dramatically amplifies the penalty intensity when the cloud coverage probability is high, which is far more effective than linear penalty in suppressing the interference of severely cloud-contaminated data on the fusion results. The cloud contamination modulation time continuity coupling term, by introducing an irrigation pulse flag, distinguishes between "cloud-induced pseudo-mutations" and "irrigation-driven real step jumps," avoiding the misjudgment of reasonable irrigation responses as data anomalies and subsequent incorrect weighting, which is of great significance in irrigation district applications.
[0018] Furthermore, the expression for the cloud pollution self-enhancing penalty term is: ; The expression for the time continuity coupling term of the cloud pollution modulation is: ; The expression for the surface type-specific nonlinear deviation penalty term is: ; ; in, This indicates a self-enhancing penalty for cloud pollution. This represents the cloud pollution index of the S-th data source. This represents the empirical value coefficient of optical remote sensing in arid areas. This represents the time-continuity coupling term of cloud contamination modulation. This represents the time continuity index of the S-th data source. This represents the cloud pollution index of the S-th data source. Represents the attenuation factor constant. Indicates the adjustment parameter. Indicates irrigation status. This indicates the irrigation pulse flag, where t represents the time. This represents a nonlinear deviation penalty term specific to land surface type. This represents the decay rate of the k-th functional region. Indicates the penalty index. This indicates the deviation under the penalty index. Indicates the deviation amount. This represents the crop coefficient of the S-th data source. This represents the upper limit of the optimal crop coefficient range for the k-th functional zone. denoted by , represents the lower limit of the optimal crop coefficient interval for the k-th functional zone, and x represents the spatial pixel coordinates.
[0019] The three penalty factors are weighted by adjustable empirical weights to form a unified data quality index, which is then transmitted to the downstream weight update module in the form of a single scalar, avoiding decision conflicts caused by the parallel transmission of multiple indicators. At the same time, the default parameter values are derived from optical remote sensing experience in arid areas, which has a certain degree of plug-and-play applicability and reduces user calibration costs.
[0020] Further, S2 includes: Based on the acquired multi-temporal high-resolution remote sensing images, combined with vegetation phenology information, impermeable surface extraction results and auxiliary geographic data, the oasis study area is divided into six functional zones: irrigated farmland, natural vegetation, water and wetland, oasis-to-desert transition zone, bare soil and saline-alkali area, and urban built-up area. A zoning mask is constructed and obtained.
[0021] The division of the six functional zones covers the complete spatial gradient within the oasis, from strong anthropogenic disturbance (irrigated farmland, urban built-up areas) to weak anthropogenic disturbance (natural vegetation, desert transition zone), which is highly consistent with the classification of the main driving mechanisms of oasis evapotranspiration. By introducing vegetation phenological information, the zoning boundaries can reflect seasonal changes in the surface condition, avoiding the problem of ignoring phenological dynamics with fixed boundaries. The inclusion of auxiliary geographic data (digital elevation, soil type, etc.) further enhances the reliability of functional zone division in areas with complex terrain.
[0022] Further, S3 includes: Based on the multi-source evapotranspiration data and the partition mask, mutually independent data sources are selected to construct the error covariance estimation matrix within the time window; The error covariance estimation matrix is mapped to a symmetric positive definite matrix space, and the geodesic distance between the covariance matrices of each data source is obtained by using the affine invariant Riemannian metric. Based on the geodesic distance, the error covariance matrix of each data source is obtained by solving the Riemann trigonometric calibration equations and combining them with the physical reliability modulation factor determined by the spatial variance of the cloud pollution index and vegetation index for triple weighted aggregation.
[0023] By mapping the error covariance estimation matrix to a symmetric positive definite matrix space and employing an affine invariant Riemannian metric, the positive definiteness constraint of the covariance matrix in geometric operations is fundamentally guaranteed, avoiding the non-positive definite covariance matrix that may be generated by traditional Euclidean mean operations. Riemann trigonometric calibration based on geodesic distance has smaller bias under non-Gaussian error structures compared to the direct triple difference method, and the error covariance estimation results are more robust.
[0024] Furthermore, the expression for the physical reliability modulation factor is: ; in, Indicates the physical reliability modulation factor. Indicates the cloud pollution suppression coefficient. Represents a triplet The average cloud pollution index at the current moment for the three data sources. Indicates the heterogeneity adjustment coefficient. Represents the x-neighborhood window of spatial cell coordinates Spatial variance of normalized vegetation index within the region denoted as the mean of the spatial variance of the normalized vegetation index for the entire region, t represents time, and x represents the spatial pixel coordinates.
[0025] The physical reliability modulation factor couples two independent physical information channels, cloud pollution suppression and vegetation heterogeneity perception, in a multiplicative manner, achieving dual physical correction of the aggregation weights of pure statistical errors. Specifically, when a data source of a certain triplet simultaneously exhibits high cloud pollution, the factor automatically reduces its aggregation contribution, preventing systematic errors from the same source from being incorrectly canceled out during triangulation. At the same time, the spatial variance term of the local vegetation index provides additional error suppression for areas with high surface heterogeneity, improving the estimation reliability in mixed pixel scenarios.
[0026] Furthermore, when weighting triples, if singularities occur in the triple estimation, an adaptive regularization perturbation is used to correct the aggregation weights. The expression for the corrected aggregation weights is as follows: ; ; in, This represents the corrected aggregate weights. Represents the original aggregate weights. This represents the adaptive regularization perturbation. Represents a triplet The determinant of the error covariance estimation matrix, This represents the basic disturbance quantity. The trace of the covariance matrix. Indicates the heterogeneity sensitivity parameter. This represents the spatial variance of the normalized vegetation index within the x-neighborhood window of the spatial cell coordinates. This represents the mean spatial variance of the normalized vegetation index for the entire region. Let represent the basic error covariance matrix of the triplet, and x represent the spatial pixel coordinates.
[0027] The adaptive regularization perturbation is positively correlated with the spatial variance of the local normalized vegetation index. It automatically enhances the regularization intensity in areas with highly complex (heterogeneous) land cover, while maintaining a small perturbation in homogeneous areas, thus achieving the effect of "regularization on demand". Compared with fixed perturbation, this design avoids the unnecessary loss of accuracy in homogeneous areas caused by global uniform regularization, while ensuring numerical stability in areas with high incidence of singularities.
[0028] Further, S4 includes: Based on the data quality index and the multi-source evapotranspiration data, an energy balance penalty term representing the upper limit of available energy and a water balance penalty term representing the monthly water mismatch are embedded in the lower bound objective function of variational inference to construct a physical enhancement evidence lower bound under the physical enhancement variational Bayesian adaptive weight update mechanism. By maximizing the lower bound of the physical augmentation evidence, the weight parameters are iteratively updated to obtain the spatiotemporally adaptive dynamic weights of each data source within each functional area.
[0029] Furthermore, the expressions for the lower bound of the physical enhancement evidence and the included energy balance penalty term and water balance penalty term are as follows: ; ; ; The expression for the spatiotemporal adaptive dynamic weight is: ; ; ; in, Let q denote the lower bound of the physical enhancement evidence, q denote the variational approximation distribution, and p denote the prior distribution. Let q represent the expectation under distribution q. Represents the relative entropy divergence. This represents observed evapotranspiration data. Indicates the surface type adaptability coefficient. This represents the adaptive penalty coefficient for energy balance at the current time t. This represents the adaptive penalty coefficient for water balance in the k-th functional zone at time t. Represents the energy balance residual term. This represents the water balance residual term. Indicates the amount of fusion evaporation. This indicates the evaporation ratio at the current moment. G represents the net surface radiation flux, and G represents the soil heat flux. This represents the joint error variance of available energy observations. This represents the reference evapotranspiration for water balance. This represents the joint error variance of the observations of each component of the water balance. An indicator function representing the availability of water balance data. and These represent the posterior accuracy parameters before and after the iterative update, respectively. and Let represent the posterior mean parameters before and after the iterative update, respectively. Indicates the lower bound of physically enhanced evidence. This represents a truncation operator that projects a value onto the interval [0.5, 2.0]. This represents spatiotemporal adaptive dynamic weights. This represents the base weight of each data source, and N represents the total number of data sources.
[0030] Further, S6 includes: Based on the preliminary evapotranspiration field, the evaporation ratio is independently retrieved from the surface temperature and albedo characteristic space using an energy balance model to determine the upper limit of available energy. The energy balance upper limit constraint correction is then applied to the preliminary evapotranspiration field to obtain the corrected evapotranspiration field. Based on the changes in precipitation, irrigation water diversion, runoff and soil water storage, the water balance model is used to calculate the reference evapotranspiration for water balance. The water balance reference evapotranspiration is used to perform water balance verification and linear scale correction on the corrected evapotranspiration field on a monthly scale to obtain the final evapotranspiration field of each functional area.
