自动发现可解释的植被遥感指数,精度超传统方法。

Interpretable Machine Learning-Derived Spectral Indices for Vegetation Monitoring

  • 用多项式框架自动搜索简洁、可解释的光谱指数
  • 在小麦和耐盐碱植物检测中准确率达98.6%以上
  • 结果透明可部署,适合农业遥感专家使用

NDVI等光谱指数虽长期用于植被监测,但其设计多依赖人工经验。我们提出光谱特征多项式(SFP)框架,从带标签的多光谱影像中自动发现紧凑且生物可解释的光谱指数。SFP构建基于比值的光谱特征库,天然具备光照不变性;通过交叉验证特征选择与连续系数优化,为每个任务生成单一闭式表达式,对领域专家透明,无需标准化即可部署于任意遥感平台。在两个农业应用中验证:在萨斯喀彻温省洛基湖周边三季哨兵-2影像上检测耐盐碱植物Kochia,46次独立交叉验证中有44次出现相同双项方程,平均准确率达98.6%,较最优已有指数提升超4个百分点;在无人机多光谱影像上对小麦分阶段分类,各生长阶段准确率分别为99.5%、97.2%、93.5%,显著优于现有指数(晚期低于78%)。SFP生成的单一方程在跨区域验证中表现稳定且性能更优。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Spectral indices such as NDVI have driven vegetation monitoring for decades, yet their design remains largely manual and ad hoc. Their usefulness stems not only from their empirical performance, but also from algebraic forms that remain compact and biologically interpretable. However, the space of possible algebraic expressions relating spectral bands is effectively infinite, making systematic search impractical without structural constraints. We introduce the Spectral Feature Polynomial (SFP) framework, a general pipeline that automatically discovers compact, interpretable spectral indices from labeled multispectral imagery. SFP constructs a library of ratio-based spectral features that inherit illumination invariance by construction. It then applies cross-validated feature selection and continuous coefficient optimization to produce a single closed-form equation per task, transparent to domain experts and deployable on any remote sensing platform without requiring standardization statistics. We validate the framework on two agricultural applications. For Kochia (Bassia scoparia) detection in Sentinel-2 imagery near Lucky Lake of Saskatchewan over three growing seasons, the same two-term equation emerged in 44 of 46 independent cross-validation folds, achieving 98.6% mean accuracy, more than 4 percentage points above the best established index under year-held-out evaluation. For wheat plant classification from UAV multispectral imagery, stage-specific indices achieved 99.5%, 97.2%, and 93.5% across three growth stages, compared to 78% or below for the best established index at late season when NIR-based contrasts lose discriminatory power as wheat senesces. In both applications, SFP yielded a single transparent equation that generalized across held-out regions and outperformed established indices.
