基于多源遥感NDVI时序曲线特征的田区尺度冬小麦物候期提取

    Extracting phenological periods of winter wheat at field scale based on the characteristics of NDVI time series curves from multisource remote sensing images

    • 摘要: 冬小麦是中国北方地区主要的粮食作物。物候是随季节变化的特定生命周期事件,准确获取区域冬小麦物候期对指导粮食作物生产具有重要意义。传统的物候期监测方法主要基于野外实地观测,在时间和空间范围上存在局限性。遥感技术的发展使得长时间、大范围的冬小麦物候监测成为可能。目前遥感物候监测结果是以像元为单位空间分辨率较低的栅格影像,而以田区地块为单元的物候期图更符合实际作物生长状况。该研究为了提高物候期分布图的空间分辨率和精度,并获取田区尺度冬小麦物候期图,首先基于多源高时空分辨率遥感数据建立时间上非均匀的NDVI影像数据集,然后基于插值法获取均匀的每日NDVI数据集,并通过SG滤波重构获取能够反映冬小麦真实生长状态的NDVI时序曲线。最后基于冬小麦NDVI时序曲线特征与物候特征对应关系,采用极值法和动态阈值法提取了生长季开始期(播种)、峰值期(抽穗)、成熟期和结束期4种物候期的栅格影像,并将像元尺度的物候期结果转为田区尺度。结果显示:2017—2018年度冬小麦播种期晚于其他5年;2019—2020年度和2020—2021年度抽穗期明显早于其他4年;2019—2020年度冬小麦成熟时间早于其他5年,同时该年度生长季结束期也早于其他5年。通过验证对比发现遥感物候期结果与田间数据和其他物候研究结果一致,满足物候期县域田区尺度提取的需求。并且进一步讨论冬小麦遥感抽穗期结果与气候变化响应,发现抽穗期与当年气温、降水量和日照时数关系密切。研究综合运用高分一号、环境二号、Landsat-8和哨兵二号多源光学遥感影像,准确提取了6年冬小麦田区尺度物候期的空间分布图,为监测冬小麦生长发育状态提供科学依据。

       

      Abstract: Winter wheat has been one of the main food crops in the North China Plain. Crop phenology refers to the specific events of the crop life cycle that change with the seasons. It is of great significance to accurately obtain the regional phenological periods of winter wheat in agricultural production. Traditional monitoring phenological periods can rely primarily on laborious field observations, indicating the limited time and space. Remote sensing technology can be expected to monitor long-term and large-scale phenology. However, there are single data sources of traditional phenology monitoring technologies by remote sensing, leading to medium and low spatial resolution. The low accuracy of extraction cannot fully meet the demands of agricultural production. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series data is currently the main data source to extract the phenological periods through remote sensing. In this study, the multi-source remote sensing images were utilized to calculate and reconstruct the long-time series NDVI data. The optical remote sensing images were taken from GF-1, HJ-2, Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2. The spatial distribution maps of winter wheat were extracted in the phenological periods at field scale over six years. The smooth curves were then selected to truly reflect the wheat growing state in the natural state. The extraction model was also established for the phenology periods of winter wheat. Firstly, a temporally uneven NDVI image dataset was constructed using multi-source optical remote sensing data. Then a uniform daily NDVI dataset was obtained using interpolation methods. The NDVI time series curves were reconstructed through Savitzky-Golay (SG) filtering, in order to eliminate the noises of time series data. According to the relationship between the characteristics of winter wheat NDVI curves and phenological features, the raster images were finally extracted for three phenological stages: start of season (sowing), peak of season (heading), and end of season (post-harvesting) using the extremum method. The raster images for the maturity stage were extracted using the dynamic threshold. The pixel-scale phenological data was converted to the field scale using computer vision vectorization. Compared with the field survey data, the dates of the start of the season and the peak of the season by remote sensing were consistent with the sowing and heading dates from field data, respectively. The field harvesting dates were between the maturity and the end dates of the season by remote season. The results show that the sowing period for winter wheat in the 2017-2018 season was later than in the other five years; The heading period in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons was significantly earlier than in the other four years; The maturity period in the 2019-2020 season was earlier than in the other five years, and the end period in this season was also earlier than in the other five years. Compared with the multi-year climate data and phenological extraction, if the temperature was higher, precipitation was sufficient and sunshine duration was longer in the period of overwintering and regreening, while the heading period was advanced accordingly. Therefore, the interannual difference in temperature, precipitation, and sunshine duration can lead to the interannual variation in the winter wheat heading period. The findings can provide scientific evidence to monitor the growth and development of winter wheat.
