  • 以树冠为中心构建时序嵌入模型,结合对比与掩码重建目标
  • 5885棵树冠数据中,前两个主成分解释25.1%方差,近邻检索准确率达0.946
  • 适合需要长期监测树冠物候变化的研究者使用

树冠是难以应对的挑战性目标,因其光谱响应、内部纹理、透光性和外观边界在生长季内显著变化。我们提出PhenoEmbed,一种基于对比和掩码重建目标训练的自监督冠层中心时序嵌入模型,使用HeideBench(D{ö}lauer Heide地区18次无人机多光谱时序数据集)进行训练。模型将季节性冠层动态视为由叶萌发、冠层闭合、衰老和落叶条件驱动的物候外观变化。保留分割后的树冠多边形作为对象锚点,通过时间对齐提取冠层中心图像块,每棵树学习一个256维向量以总结其季节外观变化。在5,885个安全裁剪的树冠上,导出的嵌入向量表现出结构化的低维组织:前两个主成分解释了25.1%的方差;最近邻检索的中位数余弦相似度为0.946。相比手工设计的时间特征和均值池化基线,PhenoEmbed生成的嵌入具有更紧凑的近邻结构;消融实验表明,对比损失、掩码重建损失和显式季节时间特征均影响嵌入空间结构。结果表明PhenoEmbed可作为可复用的森林冠层表征学习器,并推动未来在季节变化下是否提升树级建模性能的下游验证。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Tree crowns are a challenging target for resilient AI because they are not static objects: their spectral response, internal texture, translucency, and apparent boundaries change substantially across the growing season. We develop PhenoEmbed, a self-supervised crown-centric temporal embedding model trained with contrastive and masked reconstruction objectives on HeideBench, an 18-date UAV multispectral time-series benchmark for forest crown phenology in D{ö}lauer Heide. The model treats seasonal crown dynamics as phenological appearance change driven by leaf emergence, canopy closure, senescence, and leaf-off conditions. Segmented tree crown polygons are retained as object anchors to extract aligned crown-centered crops through time, allowing one 256-dimensional vector summarizing seasonal crown appearance to be learned per tree. On 5,885 crop-safe crowns, the exported embeddings show structured low-dimensional organization, with the first two principal components explaining 25.1\% of variance and nearest-neighbor retrieval producing a median top-1 cosine similarity of 0.946. Compared with handcrafted temporal features and a learned mean-pooling baseline, PhenoEmbed yields substantially more compact nearest-neighbor structure, while ablations show that the contrastive loss, masked reconstruction loss, and explicit seasonal time features each affect the structure of the learned embedding space. These results support PhenoEmbed as a reusable forest crown representation learner and motivate future downstream tests of whether such features improve tree-level models under seasonal change.
