Probabilistic NDVI Forecasting from Sparse Satellite Time Series and Weather Covariates

  • 分离编码历史植被与气象数据,融合多步分位数预测。
  • 在欧洲数据上优于统计与深度学习基线,点预测与概率评估均领先。
  • 适合农业决策支持系统,尤其关注气候影响的场景。

短期植被动态预测是精准农业数据驱动决策支持的关键。然而,由于云遮挡导致的稀疏不规则采样,以及作物生长过程中气候条件的异质性,从卫星观测中预测归一化差异植被指数(NDVI)仍具挑战。本文提出一种针对稀疏、不规则晴空获取的田块级NDVI概率预测框架。该架构将历史NDVI与气象观测编码与未来外生协变量分离,融合两者表示以实现多步分位数预测。为应对不规则重访模式及预测时距依赖的不确定性,引入基于时间距离加权的分位数损失,使训练目标与实际有效预测范围对齐。此外,通过累积与极端天气特征工程捕捉对植被响应具有延迟效应的气象因素。在欧洲卫星数据上的实验表明,所提方法在点预测与概率评估指标上均优于统计模型、深度学习及时间序列基线。消融实验确认目标历史是性能主要驱动力,气象协变量在多模态设置下提供额外增益。代码已开源:https://github.com/arco-group/ndvi-forecasting。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Short-term forecasting of vegetation dynamics is a key enabler for data-driven decision support in precision agriculture. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) forecasting from satellite observations, however, remains challenging due to sparse and irregular sampling caused by cloud masking, as well as the heterogeneous climatic conditions under which crops evolve. In this work, we propose a probabilistic forecasting framework for field-level NDVI prediction under sparse, irregular clear-sky acquisitions. The architecture separates the encoding of historical NDVI and meteorological observations from future exogenous covariates, fusing both representations for multi-step quantile prediction. To address irregular revisit patterns and horizon-dependent uncertainty, we introduce a temporal-distance weighted quantile loss that aligns the training objective with the effective forecasting horizon. In addition, we incorporate cumulative and extreme-weather feature engineering to capture delayed meteorological effects relevant to vegetation response. Experiments on European satellite data show that the proposed approach outperforms statistical, deep learning, and time-series baselines on both pointwise and probabilistic evaluation metrics. Ablation studies confirm that target history is the primary driver of performance, with meteorological covariates providing additional gains in the full multimodal setting.
