摘要
叶面积指数LAI是众多气象、环境、农业等模型的关键输入参数。尽管具有多个传感器的全球LAI产品已经相继发布,但是由于受反演方法的局限性以及反射率产品质量的影响,这些由单一传感器数据得到的LAI产品在时间上表现出一定的不连续性,这与自然生长植被的LAI变化规律不能一致。而神经网络在对复杂的、非线性数据的模式识别能力方面具有出色的表现。如在3层神经网络中,只要对隐层采用非线性递增映射函数,输出层采用线性映射函数,就可以用于对任意连续函数进行逼近。对于具有相同植被覆盖类型的同一地点多年的LAI数据,在无自然灾害和人为破坏的前提下,可以构成一个非线性的、连续的时间序列。通过融合MODIS和VEGETATION两种传感器产品,在利用相同植被类型的LAI时间序列来建立自回归神经网络,即NARX神经网络的同时,引入红、近红外和短波红外3个波段上时间序列的反射率以及相应的太阳天顶角、观测天顶角和相对方位角作为NARX神经网络的外部输入变量,并最终达到估算时间序列LAI的目的。验证结果表明,NARX神经网络非常适用于时间序列的LAI估算,并且其预测的LAI比原始的MODIS LAI在时间序列上表现的更连续和平滑。因此,该方法在改进典型植被类型的LAI遥感数据产品质量方面具有一定的应用价值。
Leaf Area Index is a key parameter of many meteorological, environmental and agricultural models. At present, global LAI products of several sensors have been released. However, due to the limitations of the retrieval methods and the qualities of the reflectance products, the released LAI products, generally retrieved from a single sensor data, have been found maybe not continuous in time series and can not characterize the natural growing vegetation well. Many research results in different domain have found that the neural network has nearly perfect performance in recognizing patterns in complex, nonlinear data, e. g. , a three-layered neural network could be used to approximate any continuous function if nonlinear increasing function and linear function are used respectively in its hidden layers and output layer. As to a span of the LAI values of an individual vegetation type in a same area, if there were no natural disasters or human destructions, they should present as a nonlinear continuous time series. In this study, by fusing the MODIS and VEGETATION products, time series LAI were used to construct recurrent neural networks, namely the NARX neural network, for six typical vegetation types. Meanwhile, time series reflectances in red, near infrared and shortwave infrared bands and the corresponding sun-viewing angles were introduced into the NARX neural networks as the exogenous inputs to estimate time series LAI. The validation results show that the NARX neural network is competent to estimate time series LAI and the predicted LAI of it is more continuous and smoother than that of the original MODIS LAI in time series. Thus the proposed method may be helpful to improve the quality of LAI products of the typical vegetation types.
