成熟热带森林地上生物量(AGB)的精确估测仍是遥感领域的关键挑战,主要源于高密度区域合成孔径雷达(SAR)信号饱和及云层对光学影像的持续干扰。为此,本文提出三模态相干协同注意力变换器(TCCT),一种物理启发的深度学习架构。该模型原生融合陆地卫星-5光学表面反射率与P波段和L波段极化干涉雷达(PolInSAR)的复数数据。不同于传统融合方法,其采用复数编码器保持空间相位一致性,并引入动态协同注意力机制作为自适应门控模块,降低云污染光学像素权重,增强对微波相位数据的依赖。通过Levenberg-Marquardt优化,构建了针对亚马孙盆地Paracou区域特定木材密度的局域空间异速生长校准模型。采用两阶段评估协议:首先进行五折交叉验证,获得稳健全局权重(全球均方根误差4.19米);随后在200轮局域细调后,冠层高程模型达到3.78米绝对均方根误差与0.33的$R^2$,优于随机森林、卷积神经网络与视觉变换器基线。消融实验表明,保持相位一致性可缓解深层冠层信号饱和。转化为生物量后,精细调优的TCCT地图在高于50兆克/公顷的密集林区实现4.51%相对均方根误差。该结果满足欧洲航天局(ESA)BIOMASS任务低于20%误差的要求,为热带生态系统的连续碳储量制图提供可靠框架。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The accurate estimation of Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) in mature tropical forests remains a critical challenge in remote sensing, primarily due to the saturation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) signals in high-density areas and persistent cloud cover affecting optical imagery. To overcome these physical limitations, we propose the Trimodal Coherent Co-attention Transformer (TCCT), a physics-informed deep learning architecture. The TCCT natively fuses optical surface reflectance (Landsat-5) with complex-valued Polarimetric SAR Interferometry (PolInSAR) data from both P and L bands. Unlike traditional fusion methods, our architecture employs complex-valued encoders to preserve spatial phase coherence, coupled with a dynamic co-attention mechanism that acts as an adaptive gating module, reducing the weight of cloud-corrupted optical pixels and shifting reliance to microwave phase data. We also derived a localized spatial allometric calibration model via Levenberg-Marquardt optimization, tailored to the specific wood density of the Paracou region in the Amazon basin. Evaluated using a two-stage protocol, the TCCT first underwent a rigorous 5-fold cross-validation to establish robust global weights (achieving a global RMSE of 4.19 m). Subsequently, following a localized spatial fine-tuning phase over 200 epochs, the model attained an absolute RMSE of 3.78 m and an $R^2$ of 0.33 for Canopy Height Models (CHM), outperforming standard Random Forest, CNN, and Vision Transformer baselines. Our ablation study confirms that preserving phase coherence mitigates deep-canopy signal saturation. When converted to AGB, the fine-tuned TCCT map yielded a Relative RMSE (rRMSE) of 4.51% in dense forest areas above 50 Mg/ha. By meeting the European Space Agency (ESA) BIOMASS mission requirement of less than 20% error, the TCCT provides a robust framework for continuous carbon stock mapping in tropical biomes.
