- 适合遥感估碳、土壤监测及环境评估研究者使用。
土壤有机碳(SOC)是衡量土壤健康的关键指标,但在植被覆盖区域,植物对光谱信号的干扰会掩盖土壤反射特征,降低模型可靠性。本文提出基于成对GAN的反射率重构网络(ReflectGAN),通过学习植被覆盖与裸土反射率之间的映射关系,重建真实裸土反射率,从而提升混合地表条件下土壤碳的估算精度。利用LUCAS 2018数据集和对应的Landsat 8影像训练多个模型,对比原始输入与ReflectGAN重构输入的表现。结果显示,采用最优模型(随机森林,RF)在重构信号上达到R²=0.54,RMSE=3.95,RPD=2.07,相比现有最佳方法(PMM-SU)分别提升35%、降低43%、改善43%。该结果在另一数据集Sentinel-2影像上也得到验证。表明ReflectGAN可有效改善植被干扰区域的土壤碳估算准确性,支持更可靠的土壤监测。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a critical indicator of soil health, but its accurate estimation from satellite imagery is hindered in vegetated regions due to spectral contamination from plant cover, which obscures soil reflectance and reduces model reliability. This study proposes the Reflectance Transformation Generative Adversarial Network (ReflectGAN), a novel paired GAN-based framework designed to reconstruct accurate bare soil reflectance from vegetated soil satellite observations. By learning the spectral transformation between vegetated and bare soil reflectance, ReflectGAN facilitates more precise SOC estimation under mixed land cover conditions. Using the LUCAS 2018 dataset and corresponding Landsat 8 imagery, we trained multiple learning-based models on both original and ReflectGAN-reconstructed reflectance inputs. Models trained on ReflectGAN outputs consistently outperformed those using existing vegetation correction methods. For example, the best-performing model (RF) achieved an $R^2$ of 0.54, RMSE of 3.95, and RPD of 2.07 when applied to the ReflectGAN-generated signals, representing a 35\% increase in $R^2$, a 43\% reduction in RMSE, and a 43\% improvement in RPD compared to the best existing method (PMM-SU). The performance of the models with ReflectGAN is also better compared to their counterparts when applied to another dataset, i.e., Sentinel-2 imagery. These findings demonstrate the potential of ReflectGAN to improve SOC estimation accuracy in vegetated landscapes, supporting more reliable soil monitoring.
