Improving lake chlorophyll-a interpreting accuracy by combining spectral and texture features of remote sensing

This article extracts the Qiantang River tidal bore, analyzing the water environment characteristics in front of the tidal line of the Qiantang River tidal bore and behind it. The Qiantang River tidal bore Index (QRI) was established using HY-1C, HY-1D, and Gao Fen-1 wide field-of-view (GF-1 WFV) satellite data to precisely determine the location and details of the Qiantang River tidal bore. Comparative analyses of the changes on the two sides of the Qiantang River tidal bore were conducted. The results indicate the following: (1) QRI enhances the visibility of tidal bore lines, accentuating their contrast with the surrounding river water, resulting in a more vivid character. QRI proves to be an effective extraction method, with potential applicability to similar tidal lines in different regions. (2) Observable roughness changes occur at the tidal bore location, with smoother surface textures observed in front of the tidal line compared to those behind it. There is a discernible increase in suspended sediment concentration (SSC) as the tidal bore passes through. (3) This study reveals the mechanism of water environment change induced by the Qiantang River tidal bore, emphasizing its significance in promoting vertical water body exchange as well as scouring the bottom sediments. This effect increases SSC and surface roughness.

“…In order to avoid complexity in parameter adjustment, a simple, parameter-free random walk strategy with the characteristics of Levy flight is proposed, which is called the consumption factor C. In this stage, different types of consumers are updated according to different rules. Specifically, herbivores are updated according to Equation (7), carnivores are updated according to Equation (8), and omnivores are updated according to Equation (9).…”

A Chlorophyll-a Concentration Inversion Model Based on Backpropagation Neural Network Optimized by an Improved Metaheuristic Algorithm

Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration monitoring is very important for managing water resources and ensuring the stability of marine ecosystems. Due to their high operating efficiency and high prediction accuracy, backpropagation (BP) neural networks are widely used in Chl-a concentration inversion. However, BP neural networks tend to become stuck in local optima, and their prediction accuracy fluctuates significantly, thus posing restrictions to their accuracy and stability in the inversion process. Studies have found that metaheuristic optimization algorithms can significantly improve these shortcomings by optimizing the initial parameters (weights and biases) of BP neural networks. In this paper, the adaptive nonlinear weight coefficient, the path search strategy “Levy flight” and the dynamic crossover mechanism are introduced to optimize the three main steps of the Artificial Ecosystem Optimization (AEO) algorithm to overcome the algorithm’s limitation in solving complex problems, improve its global search capability, and thereby improve its performance in optimizing BP neural networks. Relying on Google Earth Engine and Google Colaboratory (Colab), a model for the inversion of Chl-a concentration in the coastal waters of Hong Kong was built to verify the performance of the improved AEO algorithm in optimizing BP neural networks, and the improved AEO algorithm proposed herein was compared with 17 different metaheuristic optimization algorithms. The results show that the Chl-a concentration inversion model based on a BP neural network optimized using the improved AEO algorithm is significantly superior to other models in terms of prediction accuracy and stability, and the results obtained via the model through inversion with respect to Chl-a concentration in the coastal waters of Hong Kong during heavy precipitation events and red tides are highly consistent with the measured values of Chl-a concentration in both time and space domains. These conclusions can provide a new method for Chl-a concentration monitoring and water quality management for coastal waters.

“…Furthermore, to elucidate the synergistic effects of two types of texture features on LCC, normalized difference texture index (NDTI), difference texture index (DTI), and ratio texture index (RTI) for pairwise texture features (T1, T2) are computed as Equations ( 3)-( 5) [66][67][68]. These textural features are calculated in Python 3.…”

Estimation of Chlorophyll Content in Apple Leaves Infected with Mosaic Disease by Combining Spectral and Textural Information Using Hyperspectral Images

Leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) is an important indicator of plant nutritional status and can be a guide for plant disease diagnosis. In this study, we took apple leaves infected with mosaic disease as a research object and extracted two types of information on spectral and textural features from hyperspectral images, with a view to realizing non-destructive detection of LCC. First, the collected hyperspectral images were preprocessed and spectral reflectance was extracted in the region of interest. Subsequently, we used the successive projections algorithm (SPA) to select the optimal wavelengths (OWs) and extracted eight basic textural features using the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). In addition, composite spectral and textural metrics, including vegetation indices (VIs), normalized difference texture indices (NDTIs), difference texture indices (DTIs), and ratio texture indices (RTIs) were calculated. Third, we applied the maximal information coefficient (MIC) algorithm to select significant VIs and basic textures, as well as the tandem method was used to fuse the spectral and textural features. Finally, we employ support vector regression (SVR), backpropagation neural network (BPNN), and K-nearest neighbors regression (KNNR) methods to explore the efficacy of single and combined feature models for estimating LCC. The results showed that the VIs model (R2 = 0.8532, RMSE = 2.1444, RPD = 2.6179) and the NDTIs model (R2 = 0.7927, RMSE = 2.7453, RPD = 2.2032) achieved the best results among the single feature models for spectra and texture, respectively. However, textural features generally exhibit inferior regression performance compared to spectral features and are unsuitable for standalone applications. Combining textural and spectral information can potentially improve the single feature models. Specifically, when combining NDTIs with VIs as input parameters, three machine learning models outperform the best single feature model. Ultimately, SVR achieves the highest performance among the LCC regression models (R2 = 0.8665, RMSE = 1.8871, RPD = 2.7454). This study reveals that combining textural and spectral information improves the quantitative detection of LCC in apple leaves infected with mosaic disease, leading to higher estimation accuracy.
