Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of remote sensing technology, and more specifically, to a method, system, device and medium for detecting forest land disturbances based on full polarization SAR images.
Background Art
[0002] In recent years, our country has highly emphasized ecological environment protection and ecological civilization construction, implemented a series of effective ecological environment protection measures, and significantly improved the quality of the ecological environment.
[0003] Forests have functions such as soil and water conservation, water source nourishment, wind prevention and sand fixation, and biodiversity protection, and are an important component of the global ecosystem and ecological balance. Especially for areas with important ecological functions and fragile ecological environments, overdevelopment of forests is an important factor leading to a decline in the regional ecological service function. In recent years, illegal destruction incidents of forest resources have frequently occurred despite being prohibited, seriously threatening national ecological security. Therefore, strengthening the monitoring of forest land development is urgent and extremely important for enhancing the diversity, stability and sustainability of the ecosystem.
[0004] Remote sensing technology is widely applied in the field of monitoring surface cover changes. Currently, surface change detection technology based on high-resolution optical remote sensing images has become the main means for operations such as forest land changes. However, optical images are greatly affected by weather, and there are often problems such as high forest cover rates, difficulty in obtaining optical data in cloudy and rainy areas, or poor quality of the obtained images, which to a certain extent affect the accuracy and timeliness of the remote sensing monitoring data results.
[0005] Compared with optical satellites, the number of SAR satellites is relatively small, and the data sources somewhat limit their extensive applications. At the same time, due to the influence of elements such as speckle noise, geometric distortion, layover, and shadow in SAR images, it is relatively difficult to monitor human activities, and there are relatively few related applied research. In recent years, SAR satellite technology has developed rapidly. Multiple satellites with different high-resolution bands have already been launched, and the polarization mode has also evolved from single polarization to dual polarization, multi-polarization, and full polarization, further expanding the application fields and directions of SAR satellite remote sensing.
[0006] Therefore, how to design a method for detecting forest land disturbances based on full-polarization SAR images to compensate for the lack of coverage of high-resolution optical images in cloudy and rainy areas and optimize the monitoring of forest land development activities is an urgent problem that those skilled in the art should solve.

[0039] The following further elaborates on the above steps:
[0040] As shown in Figure 2, in S2 of this embodiment, performing preprocessing on the segmented full polarization SAR image to obtain a false color composite SAR image specifically includes the following:
[0041] S21. Introduction of SAR Images: Convert the full-polarization SAR images of the reference time phase and the monitoring time phase into the standard data format, and perform radiometric correction processing to obtain the full-polarization single-look composite data X: X = {X i : i = 1, 2, …, M} Here, X i = {xpq i = Ipq i + jQpq i : p, q ∈ {H, V}} M is the total number of pixels, p is the antenna transmission mode, q is the antenna reception mode, i is the pixel index, j is the imaginary unit, and xpq i is the complex scattering coefficient of the i-th pixel in the pq polarization mode, Ipq i is the real part of xpq i , Qpq i is the imaginary part of xpq i , H represents horizontal polarization, and V represents vertical polarization.
[0042] As shown in Figure 3, the single-look composite data that has not undergone subsequent processing has a lot of noise and low image readability, and cannot be directly used for human activity patch interpretation.
[0043] S22. Polarization Matrix Conversion of SAR Images: Construct the polarization scattering matrix S based on the full-polarization single-look composite data X: S = {S i : i = 1, 2, …, M} Define the target scattering vector set K using the polarization scattering matrix S: K = {K i : i = 1, 2, …, M} Convert the target scattering vector set K to the polarization coherent matrix T: T = {T i : i = 1, 2, …, M} Here, * represents the conjugate operation, and < > represents the multi-view processing.
[0044] As shown in FIG. 4, the converted polarization coherent matrix includes nine images.
[0045] S23, Refined Lee filtering: Performing Refined Lee filtering on the polarization coherent matrix T, adopting a 7*7 Refined Lee filtering with a window size, and obtaining a filtered polarization coherent matrix T1 includes the following: TIFF0007717301000011.tif20166 Here, N represents the number of views, m represents the pixel index of the image after multi-view processing, Changing the resolution in the azimuth direction to 1 / N of the original and keeping the resolution in the range direction unchanged can be achieved as follows: TIFF0007717301000012.tif10166 Here, represents the average value of the same boundary alignment window within the 7*7 local window where the Mth pixel is located, and w is the filtering weighting value.
[0046] As shown in FIG. 5, the image after filtering using a 7*7 Refined Lee with a window size has appropriate noise and maximally retains the detailed information of the image.
[0047] S24, false color synthesis: Performing full polarization false color synthesis on the filtered polarization conversion matrix T1 using the Pauli synthesis method to obtain a false color synthesis SAR image S1 and a false color synthesis SAR image S2.
[0048] As shown in FIG. 6, the SAR image after false color synthesis has rich color information, significantly improved display of different ground object images, and is beneficial for the interpretation of human activities.
[0049] As shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment S3, the optimization of the surface change detection model includes the following: S31, creating a tagged image dataset based on the surface disturbance interpretation flag, S32, training a surface change detection model using the tagged image dataset, S33. Classify the false-color composite SAR image using the trained surface change detection model to obtain a classification result. S34. Perform vector conversion on the classification result, calculate the cross-entropy loss value using the cross-entropy loss function, and conduct model evaluation. S35. If the cross-entropy loss value is smaller than the cross-entropy loss threshold, output the classification result; otherwise, return to S31 and supplement the tag image dataset using the classification result.
[0050] As shown in Figure 8, the construction of the surface disturbance interpretation flag includes the following: S311. Obtain two high-resolution optical remote sensing images in the previous and later periods that match the full-polarization SAR image phase. S312. As shown in Figure 9, input the two high-resolution optical remote sensing images in the previous and later periods into the pre-trained neural network model to extract newly added surface disturbance patches. S313. As shown in Figure 10, combine with the false-color composite SAR image to construct the surface disturbance interpretation flag.
[0051] As shown in Figure 11, adopt the Freeman method to calculate the radar vegetation index RVI: RVI = Fv / (Fv + Fd + Fs) Here, Fv, Fd, and Fs respectively represent the odd scattering component, even scattering component, and volume scattering component obtained by decomposing the scattering matrix after the polarization matrix transformation of the SAR image.
[0052] As shown in Figure 12, combine with the radar vegetation index RVI to obtain the initial forest land disturbance patches.
[0053] As shown in Figure 13, in S4 of this embodiment, performing an overlay check on the initial forest land disturbance patches includes the following: S411. Perform an overlay check on the initial forest land disturbance patches and forest land data to obtain forest land disturbance patches. S412. Perform a spatial overlay check on the forest land disturbance patches and slope data to obtain forest land disturbance patches within a preset slope range.
[0054] In the following, the overlay check performed on the initial forest land disturbance patches will be described in detail:
[0055] Performing an overlay check on the initial forest land disturbance patches means using GIS (Geographic Information System) software to perform an overlay check on the initial forest land disturbance patches, especially a spatial overlay check between the forest land data and the slope data:
[0056] Data preparation: Ensure a vector data layer that includes forest land data and contains the boundaries and related information of the forest land. Slope data: A vector or raster data layer containing slope information is also required. This is slope data calculated based on a DEM (Digital Elevation Model). Initial forest land disturbance patches: This is the layer that needs to be checked and may be a vector layer containing the locations and extents of forest land disturbances.
[0057] Data import: Open ArcGIS software and create a new map project. Use the "Add Data" function to import the forest land data, slope data, and initial forest land disturbance patches into the map project.
[0058] Spatial overlay analysis: Overlay with forest land data: In the ArcGIS toolbox, find the "Overlay Analysis" tool. Select the "Intersect" or "Identity" tool according to the desired results. If you only want to find the disturbance patches that overlap with the forest land, you can use the "Intersect" tool. If you want to retain other information of the initial forest land disturbance patches, you can use the "Identity" tool. In the pop-up dialog box, set the input element (initial forest land disturbance patches) and the overlay element (forest land data).
[0059] Set the position and name of the output layer, and click "OK" to execute the analysis. As a result, a new layer containing forest land disturbance patches overlapping with forestry land will be obtained. Overlay with gradient data (assuming the gradient data is raster data): If the gradient data is raster data, in order to facilitate the overlay analysis, it is necessary to convert it into vector data using the "Raster to Vector" tool. After the conversion is completed, use the "Spatial Selection" tool or the "Location-based Selection" tool to select the vector gradient data within the preset gradient range. Next, use the same overlay analysis tool as the forestry land data (such as "Intersect" or "Identify") to overlay the selected vector gradient data and the forestry land disturbance patches. When the parameters are set and the analysis is executed, as a result, a new layer containing forestry land disturbance patches within the preset gradient range will be obtained.
[0060] Processing of results: Perform necessary processing and cleanup on the overlay analysis results, such as deleting duplicate items and merging adjacent patches. If necessary, the style and symbols of the layer can be modified to better display the results. The results can be exported to the required formats such as Shapefile, GeoJSON, KMZ, etc. using the export function of ArcGIS so that they can be shared with other software and platforms.
[0061] Through the above steps, an overlay check of forestry land data and gradient data is performed on the initial forest land disturbance patches based on the ArcGIS software, and forestry land disturbance patches within the required preset gradient range are generated.
[0062] As shown in Figure 14, generating visualization results includes the following: S421, Export the forest land disturbance patches within the target area from the vector data layer, S422, Combine with the existing attribute information and mark the vector data layer, Based on the marked vector data layer, generate multiple types of visualization results including a forest land property classification map, a forest land disturbance heat map, and a forest land disturbance trend graph.
[0063] Forest land property classification map: A visualization map that classifies forest land disturbance patches according to their properties and is represented by different colors or symbols. Through this map, the situations of different types of forest land disturbances within the target area, such as forest logging, fires, natural disasters, etc., can be clearly understood.
[0064] Forest land disturbance heat map: Can display the forest land disturbance heat areas within the target area. The heat areas are usually represented as high-density points, thermodynamic diagrams, or density diagrams and are used to indicate the concentration degree and distribution situation of forest land disturbances. It helps to determine the areas where focused actions are needed.
[0065] Forest land disturbance trend graph: A forest land disturbance trend graph can be generated based on time-series data. Such a visualization result can show the change trend of forest land disturbances over time and helps analysts understand the evolution of forest land disturbances and influencing factors.
[0066] The technical solution in this embodiment realizes accurate detection and visualization presentation of forest land disturbances by combining methods such as full-polarization SAR images, radar vegetation index RVI, optimization of surface change detection models, and construction of surface disturbance interpretation flags. It plays an important role in aspects such as forest resource management, environmental monitoring, and natural disaster assessment, and provides more effective data support and decision-making basis for related fields.
[0067] Example 2: As shown in FIG. 15, this embodiment provides a forest land disturbance detection system based on full-polarization SAR images, and the system includes A data acquisition module for acquiring full-polarization SAR images within the target area and performing image classification for the reference time phase and the monitoring time phase on the full-polarization SAR images, For all polarized SAR images, perform preprocessing including the introduction of SAR images, SAR image polarization matrix conversion, Refined Lee filtering, and false color synthesis to obtain a false color synthesized SAR image, and a data preprocessing module for Input the false color synthesized SAR image into an optimized surface change detection model, extract surface change patches, and combine them with a radar vegetation index RVI image to obtain an initial forest disturbance patch, and a feature extraction module for Perform an overlay check on the initial forest disturbance patch to obtain a forest disturbance patch within the target area and generate a visualization result, and an overlay check module for
[0068] Example 3: As shown in Figure 16, this example provides an electronic device including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, the disturbance detection method in the above example is realized.
[0069] Example 4: This example provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that realizes the forest disturbance detection method in the above example when executed by a processor.
[0070] In the technical solution of the above example, all polarized SAR images can collect more surface detail information according to different polarization states. Compared with conventional non-polarized SAR images, all polarized SAR images can provide additional information about surface structures and materials, which is particularly important for forest disturbance detection. Since interference in forest areas often causes changes in surface structures, all polarized SAR images can help identify and monitor forest disturbance events by capturing these fine structural changes.
[0071] The preprocessing of SAR images includes steps such as image introduction, polarization matrix conversion, and Refined Lee filtering. These steps can remove or reduce the influence of noise and improve image quality. False color synthesis can highlight important features while suppressing irrelevant background information, making the detection of forest land disturbances more accurate.
[0072] After being optimized, the surface change detection model can process the preprocessed SAR images more efficiently and accurately extract surface change patches. The overlay check process can determine the specific scope and degree of forest land disturbances by comparing SAR images in different time periods, reducing the error in a single measurement and ensuring the accuracy of the final disturbance patches. By converting complex SAR image data into easy-to-understand visualization results, it can provide decision-makers and relevant parties with rapid and accurate information, helping them respond in a timely manner and take appropriate protection measures.
[0073] It is achieved by the effective utilization of fully polarized SAR images, the application of preprocessing and false color synthesis, the optimization of the surface change detection model, the overlay check, and the generation of visualization results. This method has relatively high accuracy and reliability in actual applications and can effectively support forest land management and protection work.
