计算机视觉的进展推动了环境监测的新应用。本文提出HydroVision,一种基于深度学习的场景分类框架,通过标准红绿蓝(RGB)水面图像估算叶绿素α、叶绿素、有色溶解有机物(CDOM)、藻蓝蛋白、悬浮泥沙和浊度等光学活性水质参数。该模型利用2022至2024年间来自美国地质调查局水文影像可视化与信息系统的超过50万张季节性变化的影像进行训练,支持在自然灾害、工业活动及不可抗力事件中对污染趋势的早期识别,提升监管机构的监测能力。通过迁移学习评估VGG-16、ResNet50、MobileNetV2和DenseNet121四种卷积神经网络以及视觉变压器,DenseNet121表现最优,对CDOM的预测达到R²=0.89。当前模型针对光照良好图像优化,未来将提升低光与遮挡条件下的鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Ongoing advancements in computer vision, particularly in pattern recognition and scene classification, have enabled new applications in environmental monitoring. Deep learning now offers non-contact methods for assessing water quality and detecting contamination, both critical for disaster response and public health protection. This work introduces HydroVision, a deep learning-based scene classification framework that estimates optically active water quality parameters including Chlorophyll-Alpha, Chlorophylls, Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM), Phycocyanins, Suspended Sediments, and Turbidity from standard Red-Green-Blue (RGB) images of surface water. HydroVision supports early detection of contamination trends and strengthens monitoring by regulatory agencies during external environmental stressors, industrial activities, and force majeure events. The model is trained on more than 500,000 seasonally varied images collected from the United States Geological Survey Hydrologic Imagery Visualization and Information System between 2022 and 2024. This approach leverages widely available RGB imagery as a scalable, cost-effective alternative to traditional multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing. Four state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks (VGG-16, ResNet50, MobileNetV2, DenseNet121) and a Vision Transformer are evaluated through transfer learning to identify the best-performing architecture. DenseNet121 achieves the highest validation performance, with an R2 score of 0.89 in predicting CDOM, demonstrating the framework's promise for real-world water quality monitoring across diverse conditions. While the current model is optimized for well-lit imagery, future work will focus on improving robustness under low-light and obstructed scenarios to expand its operational utility.
