卫星数量增加提升了地球观测的时间分辨率,使基于卫星的洪水制图成为运营级洪水监测的有力手段。利用遥感数据训练深度学习模型进行洪水制图,是地理空间人工智能(GeoAI)的重要应用,其通过学习复杂的空间和光谱模式显著提升了预测性能。然而,深度学习模型决策过程的不透明性仍是其融入科学与运营流程的主要障碍。因此,亟需系统评估模型解释是否与遥感领域知识一致。本研究提出ADAGE(领域知识与GeoAI解释对齐评估)框架,系统评估深度学习模型解释与遥感领域知识(尤其是地表独特的光谱特性)之间的对齐程度。ADAGE采用分组通道SHAP方法,估计输入通道组对像素级预测的贡献。在两个基于卫星的洪水制图任务上的实验表明,该框架可(1)定量评估模型解释与基于领域知识生成的参考解释之间的对齐程度;(2)通过提出的对齐分数帮助领域专家识别不一致的解释。本研究推动了遥感观测中可解释性与领域知识的融合,增强了GeoAI模型在科学与运营流程中的可用性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The increasing number of satellites has improved the temporal resolution of Earth observation, making satellite-based flood mapping a promising approach for operational flood monitoring. Deep learning-based approaches for flood mapping using satellite imagery, an important application within Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI), have shown improved predictive performance by learning complex spatial and spectral patterns from large volumes of remote sensing data. However, the opaque decision-making processes of deep learning models remain a major barrier to their integration into critical scientific and operational workflows. This highlights the need for a systematic assessment of whether model explanations align with established domain knowledge in remote sensing. To address this research gap, this study introduces the ADAGE (Alignment between Domain Knowledge and GeoAI Explanation Evaluation) framework. The proposed framework is designed to systematically evaluate how well explanations of deep learning models align with established remote sensing knowledge, particularly regarding the distinctive spectral properties of the Earth's surface. The ADAGE framework employs Channel-Group SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) method to estimate the contributions of grouped input channels to pixel-level predictions. Experiments on two satellite-based flood mapping tasks demonstrate that the ADAGE framework can (1) quantitatively assess the alignment between model explanations and reference explanations derived from domain knowledge, and (2) help domain experts identify misaligned explanations through the proposed alignment scores. This study contributes to bridging the gap between explainability and domain knowledge in GeoAI for Earth observation, enhancing the applicability of GeoAI models in scientific and operational workflows.
