Description

Crown information extraction method and system based on high spatial resolution remote sense image
Technical field
The present invention relates to the technical field of tree crown information extraction, relate in particular to a kind of crown information extraction method and system based on high spatial resolution remote sense image.
Background technology
The actual standing forest individual plant hat of many at present employings width of cloth method for quantitative measuring obtains the parameters such as profile of individual plant tree crown.This method is the center with the trunk, measures the radius of 8 directions of trunk or 4 directions respectively, obtains the profile of individual plant tree crown then with circular or oval-shaped approximation method; And and then the size of pro form bill strain tree crown; This method workload is big, and expense is high, and the estimation frequency is low; Be difficult to obtain continuous observation data, can't decision support promptly and accurately be provided for forest inventory control.
Based on high-resolution remote sensing image, the crown identification method mainly contains method (local maximum is called for short LM) (Blazquez, 1989 based on local maximum; Dralle et al, 1996), based on method (Contour-based is called for short CB) (Pinz, et al, 1993 of profile; Gougeon, 1995), template matching method (template-matching is called for short TM) (Pollock, 1996; Tarp-Johansen, 2002), 3D modelling (3D-model) (Sheng et al, 2001; Gong et al, 2002), region growing method (region growing is called for short RG) (Brandtberg and Walter, 1998; Culvenor, 2002; Erikson, 2003) and watershed segmentation method (Watershed Segmentation is called for short WS) (Gonzalez and Woods, 2002, Wang et al., 2004, Najman et al., 2005).
The cardinal principle of LM method is that the peak value of hypothesis canopy reflectance is positioned at or is in close proximity to the treetop, thereby finds local maximum through image filtering, can finally detect the position, treetop.Though this method has advantage simply fast, when image is changed by background interference and illumination, be easy to generate a plurality of local maximums.The performance of its crown identification can descend greatly.
The main strategy of CB method is to detect the tree crown border with edge-detection algorithm, also promptly mainly is the separator bar of attempting finding tree crown and its background.Under than the fine scale chi, can confirm all branches of a tree crown more accurately, branch has occupied most Strength Changes; Under thick engineer's scale, adjacent tree crown can interconnect.Like this, cluster is set to become and is changed the place that takes place, so finds in the reality that suitable ratio is very difficult with the adaptation of individual plant tree crown borderline phase strictly.
The TM method comprises that mainly model generates and two processes of template matches.Different sizes and the shape that outward appearance showed of tree have been considered, to the different mathematical model of various parameters structures of different seeds.At first consider geometric configuration and the radiation feature of tree, in case obtained these knowledge, the best match position of just most likely setting through a moving window removal search.
The 3D method is not overripened at present, and the resurfacing that the images match that existing a kind of concrete application is based on model goes to obtain a tree crown is accomplished the tree crown extraction, and the tree crown surface model is considered shape of tree-crown, illumination and sensor model or the like.OO this tree crown method for distilling, formality is loaded down with trivial details, wants height parameter at every turn, and stability is bad as a result in extraction.
The RG method is cut apart according to the spectral characteristic of image, utilizes the tree crown central point that produces in the single ebon hat detection process as seed points, is starting point with the spectral value of seed points; Set a threshold value, whether the spectral value of the interior each point of neighborhood is close with seed points around judging, if the two spectrum intervals is less than threshold value; Then the two belongs to same tree crown zone; It is merged in the zone at seed points place, otherwise, this tree crown zone then do not belonged to.
The WS method is based on mathematical morphology; The spectral value of image is thought of as the landform of fluctuating, earlier raw video is generated gradient image, then gradient image is carried out the processing of edge thinning; The local maximum of final search gradient image, these local maximums are the tree crown border.Watershed algorithm is to faint edge sensitive, but watershed algorithm has the characteristics of over-segmentation, need carry out pre-service or aftertreatment to image.Tree crown extraction effect on aerial image is pretty good, but for satellite image, is not enough height because the spatial resolution of image is compared with the tree crown size, and therefore for satellite image, the tree crown extraction effect is relatively poor.
Above method is all putting forward under concrete image and landscape conditions, based on above-mentioned all be that the closing of crop degree is lower under the more simple relatively standing forest condition, just suitable under the general prerequisite uniformly of tree crown.For the higher standing forest in blocks of canopy density, existing research method is difficult to accurately estimate the individual plant tree crown.Therefore, existing method is inappropriate for the quantitative estimation of carrying out forest zone standing forest hat width of cloth size.

Embodiment
For make above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be more obviously understandable, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment the present invention done further detailed explanation.
With reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the flow chart of steps that the present invention is based on the crown information extraction method embodiment of high spatial resolution remote sense image, comprises the steps:
Data acquisition step 110 is obtained the forest land remote sensing image; Pre-treatment step 120 to said remote sensing image pre-service, is obtained pretreated remote sensing image data; Single forest stand image information extraction step 130, on said pretreated remote sensing image, the stack forest form map is the clipping region with forest form map bottom class border, determines each bottom class's corresponding image information in the forest form map, extracts single forest stand image information; Segmentation procedure 140 is utilized the method in maximum stable extremal district, cuts apart the tree crown and the background area of said single forest stand image information, and extracts the tree crown zone; Single ebon hat extraction step 150 is under the situation in many ebon hats zone in said tree crown zone, extracts single ebon hat, and the crown outline of sketching out, generates single ebon hat distribution plan; Tree crown factor calculation step 160 is calculated the tree crown factor of said tree crown distribution plan number of trees and every one tree, and the said tree crown factor comprises the hat width of cloth, area, center point coordinate; Show the tree crown factor information according to said center point coordinate distribution, show the space distribution of forest land tree crown in proportion.Below, above-mentioned each step is carried out detailed explanation.
1) data acquisition step
(A) image data obtains: the high spatial resolution remote sense image in forest land can be aviation digitized video or high-resolution satellite image.
(B) 1: 10000 digital terrain figure
(C) digitizing forest form map
(D) field operation DGPS High Accuracy Control point data.
2) pre-service of remote sensing image
With 1: 10000 digital terrain figure,, the high spatial resolution remote sense image that obtains is carried out orthorectify in conjunction with field operation high-precision GPS reference mark data.
3) single forest stand image information extraction:
Just penetrating on the remote sensing image above-mentioned, the gloomy phasor that superposes is the clipping region with forest form map bottom class border, determines each bottom class's corresponding image information in the forest form map.
4) utilize maximum stable extremal district (MSER) method to cut apart tree crown and background area
Cut apart the tree crown zone with the MSER method, a MSER (maximum stable extremal district) selects suitable threshold and obtains connected component topography, and the stationarity of these connected components is detected the final plateau region of acquisition.Tree crown can be thought some zones that spectral value is more approaching.
Arthmetic statement: with all probable values of piece image, as threshold value.Suppose that the pixel that is lower than threshold value is the tree crown zone, the pixel that is higher than threshold value is the background area.Threshold value is changed to maximal value gradually from minimum value, and on some threshold values, merging can appear in the target area.Add up the area in each localized target zone, when reaching a certain threshold value, the area in localized target zone can obviously increase.Think that then this threshold value is the segmentation threshold of localized target zone and background.Tree crown zone after cutting apart is a maximum stable extremal region.
The MSER arithmetic result is similar to the algorithm that a kind of suboptimization threshold value is selected.General Threshold Segmentation Algorithm adopts same threshold value that image is cut apart in the entire image scope, when image range bigger, when textural characteristics enriches, the segmentation effect that single threshold value can not play.The MSER algorithm adopts independently threshold value to each localized target zone.Regional area at image is grown, until obtaining extreme value stabilized zone (tree crown zone just).Algorithm essence is exactly in the zones of different scope, generates adaptive segmentation threshold, has obtained segmentation effect preferably.The cutting apart and compare based on the local maximum method of this object-oriented zone, the uncertainty of having avoided Local Extremum to choose has improved the stability that target is chosen.To the identification of tree crown target area, be not subject to noise, when illumination changes, also have more stable effect.
5) single ebon hat extracts automatically
Arboreal growth in the forest land interconnects between tree crown to certain time limit usually, and promptly canopy density increase.In forest resourceies investigation, what a lot of occasions were concerned about is the characteristic of single trees, like its tree crown size shape or characteristic parameter etc.Therefore, need find out the connecting line between tree crown, separate the tree crown that links to each other, reach the purpose that single wood extracts, this also is statistics standing forest trees number and the basis of calculating the tree crown factor.The method for distilling of single ebon hat mainly is from many ebon hats zone, to isolate single ebon hat zone.Many ebon hats here are meant the tree crown zone that two or more trees are connected with each other.
It is relatively low to the present invention is directed to image resolution, and the less situation of pixel that single ebon hat that will extract in the image comprises provides a kind of method that combines with the condition growth method of successively shrinking.Successively shrinkage method more after a little while, can make full use of less shape information at pixel; And, can well separate the connection tree crown through shrinking and growth.This method comprises under the less situation of pixel at tree crown, make shape of tree-crown in contraction and growth course, be difficult for distortion, and operation efficiency is high.
Below, explain and successively shrink and condition growth method single ebon hat of extraction from many ebon hats.
Carrying out extracting the tree crown zone after MSER cuts apart, the tree crown zone is adopted successively to shrink with the condition growth method can extract single ebon hat.This algorithm is regarded interconnective tree crown as the some zones that are interconnected, and earlier connected region is made marks, and for morphologic algorithm provides marking image, through shrinking and the growth computing, detects the single tree crown that image comprises, and extracts profile information.
With reference to Fig. 2, this method is made detailed description.
A) image resampling amplifies
Carrying out with the most contiguous method for resampling image being amplified 4 times after MSER cuts apart.The shape that so both can keep original image can guarantee that again enough big zone carries out morphologic operation.According to experiment, when amplifying more than 4 times, 4 times of no significant differences of result and amplification.
B) successively shrinkage method mark list ebon is preced with the center
When successively shrinkage method is handled, the connected region that exists in the image is dwindled and can not make its disappearance.Result is that each regions contract becomes a point or do not have interior zonule of putting, and this point or zonule are called nucleus.The promptly corresponding tree crown of each nucleus.Like this, through just can know the position and sum of single ebon hat in the image to these nucleus countings.
When carrying out shrink process, do not make unborn connected region disappearance in the image, making regions contract is the nucleus that isolates.The key that realizes is not make the zone to disappear and when finishes contraction process.
The input picture of shrinkage operation and output image should separate.Operation steps is following:
Step 1 is carried out the Euclidean distance conversion to bianry image, generates distance map.
Step 2 subtracts 1 with the pixel value of all non-zero pixels in the distance map.
Step 3 detects all connected regions in the input picture.According to the connected region in the input picture, whether also there is non-zero pixels in output image relevant position inspection, if there has not been non-zero pixels in certain zone in output image, then on output image, recovering should the zone, makes it be unlikely to disappear.
Step 4 all need be recovered as if All Ranges in the output image, then termination procedure.
Fig. 3 shows above-mentioned 4 steps.
C) the condition growth method extracts single ebon hat
Condition growth method: make edges of regions outwards expand a pixel and be called a secondary growth.The condition growth is not unconfined growth, and it can only be grown in the regional extent of original image, and the nucleus that simultaneously mark is come out can not link together in growth course.These two steps of process gather, and the zone that linked together originally is just by separated from each other.
With reference to Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is single ebon hat process flow diagram for the condition growth method extracts, and operation steps is following:
Step 1 makes each zone to pixel of outgrowth.
Step 2 is found out the pixel that this secondary growth increases newly through the distance of input, output image after each growth process.
Step 3 detects newly-increased pixel, if it then removes this pixel for interior point in the growth output image.
Step 4 is checked the pixel that each is newly-increased, if this pixel is then removed in the background area of this pixel in original image.
Step 5 detects the linking number that increases pixel newly in the growth input picture, if its linking number is also removed this pixel greater than 1.
Step 6 is counted the newly-increased pixel of not deletion in testing process.This number is 0 and stops long-living process.
D) false tree crown zone removal
According to the minimum dimension of standing forest list ebon hat, set a threshold value; If the area in said tree crown zone less than this threshold value, confirms that then this tree crown zone is false tree crown, and deletion should vacation tree crown zone.
6) tree crown factor calculation
