Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of remote sensing application technology, and in particular to a method for extracting submerged vegetation and algal blooms from Tongjiang lakes based on Sentinel-2 imagery. Background Technology
[0002] Connecting lakes are an important type of water body formed by the interconnection of rivers and lakes, characterized by complex hydrological processes, frequent shoreline changes, and significant spatial and temporal variations in water transparency and suspended solids concentration. Under eutrophic conditions, the rise and fall of submerged vegetation and algal blooms in connecting lakes often have a significant impact on the structure and function of the lake ecosystem. Submerged vegetation is an important ecological factor for maintaining lake ecological balance, improving water quality, and stabilizing bottom sediments, while large-scale algal blooms can lead to water quality deterioration, decreased dissolved oxygen, and ecosystem degradation. Therefore, rapidly and accurately identifying the spatial distribution of submerged vegetation and algal blooms in connecting lakes is of great significance for lake ecological monitoring, eutrophication control, ecological restoration, and analysis of vegetation-algae conversion processes.
[0003] Currently, the main methods for extracting submerged vegetation and algal blooms in lakes include field surveys, paleolynological methods, and remote sensing monitoring. Although field surveys and paleolynological methods have high accuracy, they suffer from problems such as large workload, poor timeliness, and limited coverage. Remote sensing technology provides strong support for monitoring the succession of submerged vegetation and algae. In lakes connected to the Yangtze River, the challenges in identifying submerged vegetation and algal blooms are: (1) Lakes connected to the Yangtze River are significantly affected by factors such as water level fluctuations, sediment input, changes in the water-land transition zone, and exposure of shallow waters, which easily leads to spectral confusion between shallow waters, submerged vegetation, and algal blooms; (2) During the high-water season, when the water level rises, emergent / floating-leaved vegetation becomes difficult to distinguish from submerged vegetation after being submerged. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for extracting submerged vegetation and algal blooms in Tongjiang lakes based on Sentinel-2 imagery.

Detailed Implementation
[0015] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0016] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0017] This invention uses Poyang Lake, the largest typical lake connected to the Yangtze River in a certain country, as an example. The data on submerged vegetation and algal blooms in this example are derived from previous research and field surveys. Algal blooms in Poyang Lake are mainly distributed in areas with relatively calm water and high nutrient levels, often forming aggregations in local bays, nearshore waters, and water stagnation zones. Submerged vegetation is mostly distributed in shallower, more transparent, and more stable saucer-shaped lake areas. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for extracting submerged vegetation and algal blooms in Tongjiang lakes based on Sentinel-2 imagery, including the following steps: Step 100: Acquire Sentinel-2 satellite surface reflectance image data of the study area and perform preprocessing to obtain preprocessed image data; the preprocessed image data includes: normalized difference water index image, aquatic vegetation index image, normalized vegetation index image, brightness image, phytoplankton index image and shoal-algal bloom discrimination index image. Step 200: Calculate the first classification threshold based on the normalized differential water index image and the sample kernel density map; Step 300: Based on the aquatic vegetation index image, normalized vegetation index image, and brightness image, calculate the second classification threshold, the third classification threshold, and the fourth classification threshold according to the linear mixture model; Step 400: Based on the phytoplankton index image and the shoal-bloom discrimination index image, calculate the fifth and sixth classification thresholds using the maximum gradient histogram method; Step 500: Construct a decision tree classification model based on the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth classification thresholds, and use the decision tree classification model to perform conditional discrimination on the preprocessed image data to obtain the classification results.
[0018] In the specific implementation process, step 100 downloads the Sentinel-2 satellite surface reflectance image data (COPERNICUS / S2_SR_HARMONIZED) from the Google Earth Engine cloud platform on October 23, 2023, which is synchronized with the sample point acquisition time and covers the Poyang Lake area. Then, using the uploaded Poyang Lake vector boundary cropping image, the cropping image is de-clouded and masked through the QA60 band. Finally, reflectance scaling is performed with a scaling factor of 0.0001 to achieve image data preprocessing.
[0019] In the specific implementation process, step 200 acquires the improved normalized difference water index (MNDWI) image from October 23, 2023, and, in conjunction with previous research and sample kernel density maps, determines the classification threshold T. MNDWI And it is used to distinguish between water areas and non-water areas. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the formula for calculating MNDWI is: ;in, For green band reflectivity, For near-infrared reflectance, in this embodiment, T MNDWI The preferred value is 0.2.
[0020] In the specific implementation process, step 300 acquires the aquatic vegetation index (AVI), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and brightness (BI) images from October 23, 2023, to determine the classification threshold T. AVI T NDVI And T BI T AVI and T NDVI Used to distinguish between aquatic vegetation areas and non-aquatic vegetation areas in aquatic areas, T BI Used to remove shallow areas and obtain submerged vegetation zones. Specifically, the AVI index is calculated using the following formula: Wherein, "Wetness" is the humidity index, obtained by weighting the spectrum across different wavelengths. The formula for calculating the humidity index is: ; in, For blue band reflectivity, For green band reflectivity, For red band reflectivity, For near-infrared reflectivity, For shortwave infrared band 1 reflectivity, T represents the reflectivity of the shortwave infrared band 2. AVI The calculation formula is obtained from the linear mixture model: ; Among them, T AVIThe threshold for AVI, and These are the average AVI values of pixels in pure water and pixels in areas with dense aquatic vegetation, respectively. The linear coefficient is preferably 70% in this embodiment. For example... Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the MNDWI image of the scene is acquired, and the MNDWI value corresponding to the highest peak in the MNDWI histogram is used as the threshold for extracting pure water, which is calculated to be 0.935. All pixels with MNDWI values greater than 0.754 are extracted as pure water pixels, and AVI(w) is calculated to be -0.0669. Figure 5 As shown, pixels in areas with dense aquatic vegetation growth are segmented through visual interpretation. Based on the histogram calculation, AVI(v) = -0.0085 is obtained, and T is thus calculated. AVI =-0.0494.
[0021] The formula for calculating NDVI is: .like Figure 6 As shown, to further exclude shallow water areas and obtain pixels of pure submerged vegetation, the brightness BI is calculated using the following formula: Based on the kernel density maps of shallow and submerged vegetation pixels and previous studies, this embodiment uses T... BI =7.5%.
[0022] It should be noted that BI was introduced into the vegetation sample candidate region to perform secondary separation of submerged vegetation and shoals at the brightness level, overcoming the shortcomings of existing methods that rely solely on vegetation indices and are difficult to separate highly reflective shoals.
[0023] In the specific implementation process, step 400 calculates the phytoplankton index (FAI) and the shallow water-bloom discriminant index (SABI) based on image data, and determines T using the maximum gradient histogram. FAI T SABI Specifically, the formulas for calculating FAI and SABI are as follows: ; ; ; in, The center wavelength of the near-infrared band is 835.1 micrometers in this embodiment; The center wavelength of the red band is 664.5 micrometers in this embodiment; The center wavelength of the shortwave infrared band 1 is 1613.7 micrometers in this embodiment.
[0024] Next, the maximum gradient histogram method is used to calculate and determine T. FAI T SABI ,include: 1) Generate the gradient image of the exponential image and define the gradient of a pixel as the difference between it and its neighboring pixels in a 3×3 window; 2) Based on the histogram distribution of the samples, remove overly sparse or dense areas, and retain only the pixels in the intermediate boundary areas; 3) Generate a histogram from the gradient images of the remaining pixels (i.e., pixels in the intermediate boundary region), determine the mode of its maximum gradient, and use the average value of all pixels corresponding to this gradient mode in the exponential image as the classification threshold. In this embodiment, T is preferred. FAI =0.02, T SABI =0.0167.
[0025] It should be noted that SABI, as a novel indicator proposed in this invention, is introduced into the high FAI candidate region and used to further distinguish between real algal blooms and high-reflectivity shoals, thus overcoming the problem of shoal misjudgment caused by the direct identification of algal blooms by a single FAI threshold in existing methods.
[0026] like Figure 7 As shown, in the specific implementation process, step 500 is based on T MNDWI T AVI T NDVI T BI T FAI And T SABI Determine the discrimination criteria and build a decision tree classification model. The model construction conditions include: Condition 1: The study area is divided into water bodies and non-water bodies based on the MNDWI index. If the MNDWI of the study area pixels is greater than 0.2, it is classified as a water body; otherwise, it is classified as a non-water body. Condition 2: For water bodies, classification is performed using the AVI and NDVI indices. When AVI > -0.0494 and NDVI > -0.02, the body is classified as aquatic vegetation; otherwise, it is classified as non-aquatic vegetation. Condition 3: For aquatic vegetation, the BI index is used for classification. When BI < 7.5%, it is classified as submerged vegetation; otherwise, it is classified as shallow water. Condition 4: For non-aquatic vegetation, the FAI index is used for classification. When FAI > 0.02, it is classified as shallow water algal bloom; otherwise, it is classified as open water. Condition 5: For algal blooms in shallow waters, the SABI index is used for classification. When SABI > 0.0167, it is classified as an algal bloom; otherwise, it is classified as a shallow water.
[0027] It should be noted that by introducing a dual judgment mechanism of NDVI and AVI, misjudgment of mixed pixels by a single index is avoided, and the accuracy of submerged vegetation candidate area extraction is improved. Furthermore, BI and the newly proposed SABI are used to achieve secondary separation of "submerged vegetation-shoals" and "algal bloom-shoals" respectively. Compared with the traditional AVI index, which has insufficient judgment power, is easily affected by suspended sediment, and has the problem that the AVI of water areas may be greater than that of submerged vegetation, this method fully considers the characteristics of water level fluctuations, sediment input, changes in the water-land transition zone, and exposed shoals in connected lakes. This effectively overcomes the problem of misjudgment of mixed pixels and high-reflectivity shoals in single index classification, significantly improving the accuracy and anti-interference ability of submerged vegetation and algal bloom identification in connected lakes.
[0028] Furthermore, this embodiment also plots the classification results from step 500 in ArcGIS, and calculates the overall classification accuracy (OA) and Kappa coefficient based on the measured sample points and classification results. The calculation formulas are as follows: ; ; in, The total number of samples, The total number of samples that were correctly classified. The total number of categories, For the i-th type of diagonal element in the confusion matrix, and The first i Line number i The total number of pixels in the column, N is the total number of samples. The classification results are evaluated by the overall classification accuracy and Kappa coefficient, as shown in Table 1. The validation set is derived from balanced stratified random sampling, combined with Google high-resolution maps and field surveys, totaling 240 sample points.
[0029] Table 1. Accuracy Evaluation of Automatic Classification and Mapping Results of Submerged Vegetation and Algal Blooms in Tongjiang Lakes
[0030] It should be noted that, through point-to-point verification of the classification results and sample points, it can be seen that the method of the present invention has high identification accuracy for land cover types such as submerged vegetation and algal blooms, with an overall classification accuracy of 90.4% and a Kappa coefficient of 0.872, which can meet the needs of ecological environment monitoring and classification mapping of lakes connected to the Yangtze River.
[0031] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1) This invention relies on the Google Earth Engine cloud platform to carry out image preprocessing, index calculation and classification mapping. It has the advantages of high efficiency, wide range and strong repeatability. It is suitable for large-scale and long-term lake ecological monitoring and can provide effective technical support for algal bloom early warning, aquatic vegetation dynamic analysis and lake ecological restoration management. 2) By comprehensively utilizing multiple remote sensing indices such as MNDWI, AVI, NDVI, BI, FAI, and SABI, a multi-indicator collaborative classification system for complex water environments in lakes connected to the Yangtze River was constructed, which effectively improved the ability to distinguish between submerged vegetation, algal blooms, open water areas, and shallow waters. 3) The key classification thresholds were determined by using the linear mixture model and the maximum gradient histogram method respectively, which enabled the automatic extraction of thresholds for targets such as vegetation-non-vegetation and algal bloom-shoal, reducing the subjectivity of traditional manual experience-based threshold selection and improving the stability and reliability of classification results. 4) A decision tree classification model was constructed based on multiple indices and their thresholds. The model is classified step by step according to the process of water body identification, vegetation discrimination, shoal removal and algal bloom extraction. The classification logic is clear and the degree of automation is high. It can realize the rapid and accurate extraction and mapping of target features in lakes and rivers.
