Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional remote sensing methods are used for forest monitoring, then monitoring coverage is achieved, but the ability to distinguish on-year and off-year moso bamboo forests is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The method segments the classification process into distinct stages: first classifying evergreen vegetation using NDVI, then further segmenting into on-year and off-year moso bamboo forests using OYML and FYML indices. This segmentation allows precise boundary extraction by handling different vegetation types and growth stages separately, resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and method complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The method changes spectral parameters by using specific red edge bands (band 5 and band 6 of Sentinel-2) to calculate OYML and FYML indices. This parameter change exploits the unique spectral characteristics of moso bamboo at different growth stages, enabling accurate boundary line extraction while maintaining operational simplicity through standardized index calculations.
2Reliability
If no specific boundary extraction method is used, then operational simplicity is maintained, but ecological and economic management effectiveness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The method performs preliminary classification of evergreen vegetation using NDVI before extracting boundary lines. This preliminary action filters out non-evergreen vegetation and reduces the complexity of subsequent boundary extraction, improving ecological monitoring reliability while maintaining ease of implementation through a structured two-stage process.
Solution Approach 2:
The method introduces OYML and FYML indices as intermediary tools between raw remote sensing data and boundary line extraction. These intermediary indices simplify the complex task of distinguishing on-year and off-year forests by transforming spectral data into interpretable metrics, thereby improving reliability without significantly increasing implementation difficulty.
3Measurement precision
If general vegetation classification is used, then broad coverage is achieved, but specific boundary delineation between on-year and off-year forests is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The method applies local quality by using different spectral indices for different vegetation types: NDVI for evergreen vegetation identification, and OYML/FYML indices specifically for on-year and off-year moso bamboo forests. This localized approach to data processing improves boundary extraction accuracy by matching processing methods to specific vegetation characteristics, while reducing overall data processing volume through targeted analysis.

AI summary
Disclosed is a method for extracting a boundary line of on-year and off-year moso bamboo forests based on Sentinel-2 remote sensing data, and relates to the technical field of forestry remote sensing. The method includes classifying remote sensing images to acquire spatial distribution of three land type results, the three land type results including several on-year moso bamboo forests, several off-year moso bamboo forests and other vegetations between the on-year and off-year moso bamboo forests; extracting an initial boundary line of the on-year and off-year moso bamboo forests according to spatial distribution of three land type results; building a buffer region of the initial boundary line, and acquiring intersecting pixels of the buffer region and the spatial distribution of three land type results; and calculating pixel thresholds by using the intersecting pixels, and acquiring a final boundary line of the on-year and off-year moso bamboo forests. Using the above method can accurately obtain the boundary line between on-year and off-year of moso bamboo forests.
