Description

A kind of method of utilizing laser point cloud Calculation of Three Dimensional Forest Canopy extinction coefficient
One, technical field
The present invention relates to the method that a kind of cloud data that utilizes the Three Dimensional Ground laser scanner to obtain calculates the Forest Canopy extinction coefficient, specifically, refer to a kind of improved method (flow process as shown in Figure 1) of utilizing the computational geometry algorithm to come the extinction coefficient under any given incident ray of Calculation of Three Dimensional Forest Canopy.
Two, background technology
The Forest Canopy structure occupies an important position in the interaction of soil-canopy-atmosphere, and closely related with the Exchange of material and energy in the biogeochemical cycle.Extinction coefficient is defined as unit leaf area perpendicular to the averaging projection's area on the plane of radiation direction, is the quantitative important factor of understanding Forest Canopy structure and radiation delivery.He is based on the directional distribution function (comprising inclination angle and azimuthal distribution function) at leaf inclination angle, calculates for the incident ray of any given angle.
The Leaf angle inclination distribution density function that obtains indirectly, exactly the vegetation canopy is a challenging job all the time, and traditional method mainly is to utilize the method for directly observing by blade to obtain the Leaf angle inclination distribution density function of given isolated tree.Such as: the equipment making such as people's utilization hornwork such as Norman and compass a kind of instrument (accompanying drawing 2 left sides) of measuring comparatively simply and easily blade angle and space distribution; The people such as Lang utilize the dirigibility of mechanical arm and cleverly how much transitive relations made a kind of instrument that is used for measuring blade space and angular distribution that can move freely and stretch (accompanying drawing 2 right sides).
But because its workload is large, subjectivity is strong, and restricted to the height of measured target trees, so can not be widely used in the practical study.Even more important a bit is, directly observation tends to affect even the structure of vegetation destruction canopy, and then destroys the inner and following radiation profiles situation of canopy.And with regard to forest, be difficult to utilize direct observation instrument to pursue blade in the reality and measure.Therefore, need a kind of new fast, accurately, round-about way obtains angle and the space distribution situation of canopy leaves.In recent years, also someone begins to attempt indirectly obtaining the blade tilt distribution.For example, Shilbayama in 2007 and Watanabe are published in " Estimating the mean leaf inclination angle of wheat canopies using reflected polarized light " literary composition of periodical " Plant Production Science " the 10th volume, propose to utilize the reflection polarized light to average the evaluation method at leaf inclination angle..
At present, also having a kind of comparatively popular method is to utilize the mathematics geometric model to come the approx blade actual distribution of approaching to reality trees, and wherein widely accepted is what model of spheroid that Campbell proposed in the eighties in 20th century.Its core concept is that the different distributions at each tangent plane inclination angle, spheroid surface is come the angular distribution of the actual blade of approximate expression, and regulates the variation of different angle distribution density function by the long and short axle of adjusting spheroid.The method can be used following equation expression:
ξ ( α ) = 2 χ 3 sin α Λ ( cos 2 α + χ 2 sin 2 α ) 2 - - - ( 1 )
Wherein &chi; = b / a , &Lambda; = &chi; + ( sin - 1 &epsiv; ) / &epsiv; , &chi; < 1 , &epsiv; = ( 1 - &chi; 2 ) 1 / 2 &chi; + ln [ ( 1 + &epsiv; 1 ) / ( 1 - &epsiv; 1 ) ] 2 &epsiv; 1 &chi; , &chi; > 1 , &epsiv; 1 = ( 1 - &chi; - 2 ) 1 / 2 , 0 &le; &alpha; &le; &pi; / 2 ,
When χ=1, this distribution will become sphere and distribute, this moment Λ=2, a, b are respectively half short, semi-major axis of spheroid.But the actual distribution of approaching blade that this method just is similar in theory is not enough to describe protean truth.
The appearance of ground laser radar scanner is so that we can directly obtain the Forest Canopy structural information of high precision (grade) from three-dimensional perspective, and then the extinction coefficient of calculating canopy.At present domestic about the applied research of laser radar in forest, particularly the research for three-dimensional canopy structure also is in starting and exploratory stage.Existing research major part concentrates on utilizes ground laser radar to carry out parameter (comprising the diameter of a cross-section of a tree trunk 1.3 meters above the ground, the height of tree and biomass etc.) the extraction aspect of substantially every wooden dipping of higher or forest sample ground level.Such as: the people such as Ma Liqun had introduced laser radar in the application aspect the extraction Forest Vertical structural parameters in " application of laser radar in the estimation of Forest Vertical structural parameters " literary composition of " World Forestry research " the 1st volume in 2011; Forest application facet at laser radar, generating high-precision digital terrain model is a wherein crucial step, and the people such as Zhou Shufang have inquired into method and the exact evaluation that utilizes airborne laser radar system generating digital ground model in " DEM based on airborne laser radar data obtains and uses " literary composition of " remote sensing technology and application " the 22nd volume in 2007.In addition, the people such as Pang Yong has carried out a large amount of more deep researchs to the height of tree estimation that utilizes laser radar system to extract forest Dan Mu and sample prescription level between 2006-2009.But at present domestic that the three dimensional point cloud that utilizes laser radar to obtain is extracted research theory and the technology of canopy extinction coefficient is deep not enough, needs further to strengthen.
Three, summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is:
The three dimensional point cloud that provides a cover directly to utilize the ground laser radar system to generate in conjunction with the method for computational geometry, calculates the individual plant trees of any given incident light or the algorithm of forest sample prescription extinction coefficient from three-dimensional perspective.And provide the contactless method of quick and precisely observing the Forest Canopy structural characteristic parameter.
Principle of the present invention is as follows:
Utilize newer remote sensing technology means (Three Dimensional Ground Laser Radar Scanning system), technological means in conjunction with computational geometry, directly obtain individual plant trees under the assigned direction incident light and the extinction coefficient of forest sample size blade from the angle of three-dimensional, and then calculate the extinction coefficient of vegetation canopy.The three-dimensional mathematical model of model is accurately located the position of individual blade, adopts on this basis the computational geometry method, and three dimensional point cloud is carried out gridding, utilizes the point cloud slicing algorithm that the some cloud of differing heights is classified.Then carry out the line sampling analysis, obtain the relevant information that blade is intercepted and captured light, and then calculate the projection coefficient of each slicing layer, i.e. extinction coefficient, thus obtain the extinction coefficient of whole canopy.Finish the calculating of averaging projection's coefficient of extinction coefficient under the given incident ray and canopy integral body.
Technical scheme of the present invention mainly may further comprise the steps:
(1) at first utilizes the ground laser radar scanning system, obtain the three dimensional point cloud of vegetation canopy.Wherein comprised the space geometry of scanning impact point and the energy information that laser beam is rebounded, three-dimensional coordinate directly provides the locus coordinate information of any point, and this also is the basis of the mathematical model in the traditional optical theory.The cloud data that obtains at first carries out Image Mosaics, and manually removes the ground point cloud.
(2) three dimensional network is formatted.At first define an X in a territory, cloud sector, Y, the cartesian coordinate system of three coordinate axis of Z comprises all cloud datas wherein.And cloud data is divided into limited zonule, and to set up take volume elements (voxel) as basic data structure, this process is called three dimensional network and formats.Each volume elements determines its size by length (l) wide (w), high (h) three parameters, and all cloud datas are divided into m * n * p volume elements, wherein, and m=(X Max-X Min)/w, n=(Y Max-Y Min)/l, P=(Z Max-Z Min)/h.If, l=w=h, then volume elements is a cube.With the three-dimensional center point of these cloud datas, i.e. [(X Max-X Min)/2, (Y Max-Y Min)/2, (Z Max-Z Min)/2] be new initial point, set up cartesian coordinate system.Coordinate axis Z is the direction of growth of trunk, and perpendicular to surface level, X, Y-axis are positioned on the plane vertical with Z axis, and Z axis is axle longitudinally, and X, Y-axis are horizontal axle.Shown in accompanying drawing 3 (a, b, c).
(3) point cloud slicing algorithm.After the three dimensional network process of formatting finished, cloud data was divided in length and breadth numerous data Layers of direction, i.e. section, and cloud data can be considered the in length and breadth stack of direction section.Dropping cut slice shown in accompanying drawing 3 (d).All volume elements be made as (i, j, k) (i=1,2 ..., m; J=1,2 ... n; K=1,2 ..., p).Work as k=1, i and j are the arbitrary value in the given area, then can be expressed as ground floor or first cross section all volume elements.
For the relative position relation of approximate simulation incident ray and Forest Canopy, developed the slicing mode of another point of rotation cloud.At first, the cloud data rotation to the relative position that we will simulate, is then carried out three dimensional network to it and formatted.The such plane parallel at dropping cut slice and XY axle place, the plane parallel at vertical section and Z axis place.We suppose that direct sunlight injects from zenith direction, and are parallel with Z-direction.When the incident light direction changes, can realize by the rotation cloud data.
Specifically, the central point of three dimensional point cloud is the initial point of cartesian coordinate system, and cloud data then rotates around X, Y, Z axis according to the needs of a cloud with the section relative position.For example, cloud data around 30 ° of Y-axis rotations, is equivalent to that a cloud is cut into slices or sun incident light is cut into slices with 30 ° pitch angle.Therefore, some cloud at an arbitrary position (0 °-360 ° of levels, vertical 0 °-90 °) is cut into slices, and is called the directivity section.Any cloud data all can generate thin plate to extract three-dimensional canopy information by the directivity section.
(4) line sampling analysis.The space distribution of blade in section analyzed by the line method of sampling.The section of each position of cloud data is comprised of many line-transects, and these line-transects are perpendicular or parallel in sun incident light r (θ, β).When research during along the distribution of r direction blade, be to consider the line-transect parallel with r.If the three-dimensional parameter of each volume elements is set to 1.5 times of the laser radar sampled distance, we can guarantee that each volume elements at most only comprises a sampling point.So, volume elements (N) number of non-NULL represents the number of times that line-transect and blade intersect in every line-transect, and N obeys stochastic distribution.If greater than 1.5 times of sampled distance, when comprising a plurality of sampling point in the volume elements, we need to calculate different N values with spot projections all on the line-transect to the face parallel with the line-transect direction, as the number of times that intersects with blade.
Definition P nWhen passing whole cloud data for line-transect, intersect n time possibility with blade.P 0What the expression line-transect passed through all is the space, and summation exponent is 0.By finding the solution the mean value of all line-transects N when passing vegetation, can intersect in the hope of all line-transects and blade in the whole cloud data mean value (m) and the variance (σ of number of times 2).This number of times that intersects not is actual blade point cloud density, but projects to the projection on the plane with the line-transect perpendicular direction.Variance (the σ of every line-transect 2The relative variation of)/average (m) can reflect that blade is in the distribution situation of real space.The Leaf positional distribution of isolated tree or standing forest can change (σ relatively according to it 2/ m=1,>1, and<1) being divided into accordingly three kinds of situations: regular distribution, stochastic distribution and gathering distribute.
The line sampling analysis is the key of calculating whole canopy and differing heights section extinction coefficient, is conducive to simultaneously a cloud density, radiation flux and the radiation profiles situation is isoparametric obtains.
(5) sun incident light pitch angle (θ) calculates averaging projection's coefficient of k layer section fixedly the time.When only studying the sun incident light of a direction of r (θ, β), that is to say the projection coefficient G of k layer section k(r) refer to the projection coefficient of r (θ, the β) direction of fixing.When not considering the incident light position angle, and the k layer averaging projection coefficient G of pitch angle when being θ k(θ), be by the integral and calculating of azimuthal angle beta on [0,2 π]:
G k ( &theta; ) = &Integral; 0 2 &pi; G k ( r ) d&beta; - - - ( 2 )
(6) projection coefficient under any given incident ray of calculating, i.e. extinction coefficient.At first consider to cut into slices with fixed-direction r (θ, β), finish after three dimensional network formats at cloud data, all three-dimensional point clouds all are enclosed in the three-dimensional border, generate section and the line-transect of horizontal and vertical.If all sections are parallel with direction r (θ, β), so all line-transects also are parallel to direction r (θ, β), and the direction of the longitudinal axis namely represents this direction.Each volume elements can make up one perpendicular to the plane of this main shaft, and all sampling points can project on this plane.In the 3D grid framework, this projecting plane be two perpendicular to the volume elements border of line-transect direction it.If the sampling point number that comprises in each non-NULL volume elements is n:
If n=1 a., the square of each two dimension is take user's sampling interval as the length of side, and then sampling point represents the center of this square leaf area.If sampling interval is s, then the leaf area area is s * s.Projection coefficient (is s * s), with the ratio of the area of the length (l) of volume elements * width (w) for area take Sampling Distance as the length of side.
If b. n=2 can make up a line-transect and represent leaf area, foursquare unit area be multiply by for the projected length of this line-transect in projected area of blade.Projection coefficient is after the projection and the front line-transect Length Ratio of projection.
If point is at first detected all on a face or line in n 〉=3 c. whether all.If on same line-transect, then these points are decomposed (n=2) on the less yardstick.If on same, then make up a triangle and represent leaf area, projected area of blade is calculated by the projection coordinate on three summits.Three projection coordinates are made as (x 1, y 1), (x 2, y 2), (x 3, y 3), leg-of-mutton projected area A pBe projected area of blade, by following matrix computations:
A p = 1 2 &times; x 1 y 1 1 x 2 y 2 1 x 3 y 3 1 - - - ( 3 )
If the institute d. in the volume elements has a few not coplanar or on a line, then make up the convex closure of a three-dimensional, half of convex closure surface area namely represents the blade area (A) of reality.Then, all spot projections to the plane parallel with line-transect, are set up the convex closure of two dimension with these points, its area namely represents the blade area (A of projection p)
In sum, projection coefficient A p/ A is calculated by the non-NULL volume elements.The k layer is perpendicular to the projection coefficient G of incident light k(r) can be calculated by following formula:
G k ( r ) = 1 N &Sigma; &xi; = 1 N A p&xi; / A &xi; - - - ( 4 )
Wherein N is total number of k layer section non-NULL volume elements, and k is the number of plies of section.
Obtain G k(r) after, substitution formula (2) is obtained averaging projection's coefficient of each slicing layer, and the projection coefficient of whole canopy (being extinction coefficient) is the summation of each layer section projection coefficient.
Compared with prior art, advantage of the present invention is embodied in: laser radar technique provides effective technological means for obtain the Forest Canopy structural parameters from three-dimensional perspective, carry out indirect observation in conjunction with the computational geometry method, compare with traditional observation method, workload is little, need not contact observation, do not destroy canopy structure and radiation characteristic, have objective efficient accurate characteristics; Developed the method for from laser radar data, extracting three-dimensional structure and biophysics diversity information, with the Concentration Changing Pattern characterization of blade.
Concrete beneficial effect is as follows:
The three dimensional point cloud that the present invention utilizes laser scanner to obtain take the extinction coefficient of volume elements as the basic calculation Forest Canopy, provides a kind of method that indirectly need not the observation Forest Canopy biophysical parameters that contacts.The present invention keeps sunshine from the tree crown top along the incident of longitudinal axis parallel direction by the rotation cloud data, come sunshine in the simulating reality situation at the sight of different angles irradiation tree crown, not only easy but also efficient, and can not cause any harmful effect to forest structure and radiation characteristic.The present invention not only can calculate the extinction coefficient of canopy integral body, can also calculate the extinction coefficient of tree crown differing heights section, and this is conducive to further to study light radiation the holding back and distribution mechanism of canopy inside, and the research of other biological physical parameter.The present invention observes Forest Canopy mechanism from three dimensions, its key is to utilize the geometric projection technology that three dimensional point cloud is converted to the two-dimensional grid image, calculate from different directions the extinction coefficient on canopy differing heights plane, not only greatly improve estimation precision, and provide bulk information for the research of the radiation delivery mechanism of canopy inside.
Practical application shows, the invention provides the effective ways of indirect observation Forest Canopy extinction coefficient, no matter is individual plant trees or the extinction coefficient of forest sample prescription canopy, all can directly use this method to try to achieve.The method has overcome classic method need spend plenty of time and a large amount of manpower and materials, affects the Forest Canopy architectural characteristic, and the large defective of error.Improve the efficient of vegetation biophysical parameters estimation, strengthened popularization and validity that three-dimensional laser scanning technique is used.Can serve better the resource environment research projects such as forest inventory investigation, vegetation ecological remote sensing.
