一种融合相位、振幅与频率的 GNSS-IR 土壤 湿度反演方法.

Objectives: Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) interferometric reflectometry (GNSS-IR) is a new passive remote sensing technique for determining surface environment parameters, which places an important part in the inversion of earth's surface properties, such as soil moisture monitoring, snow parameter retrieval, and vegetation remote sensing, etc. GNSS-IR offers several benefits over the traditional soil moisture inversion approach, including all-weather capability, high temporal precision, and cheap cost. Methods: Considering the fact that the existing soil moisture inversion algorithms only utilize one single feature of GNSS reflected signal and from the perspective of increasing data availability, this paper proposes a GNSS-IR soil moisture inversion approach that integrates multi-type feature data by utilizing phase, amplitude, and frequency extracted GNSS signals reflected by soil. The main work is to effectively filter all available features extracted from the original GNSS signal-to-noise ratio observations. The feasibility and effect of the suggested method are compared and evaluated using three machine learning models, including least squares support vector machine (LSSVM), random forest (RF), and back propagation neural network (BPNN). Results: Comparing the inversion effects of above three models, BPNN model has the best inversion effect, followed by RF model, and LSSVM model is the worst. The results show that the correlation coefficients between the reference value and soil moisture inversed by the multi-feature fusion method LSSVM, RF, and BPNN models are 0.830, 0.953, and 0.980, respectively, and the corresponding root mean square errors are 0.045, 0.035 and 0.032 cm³ /cm³ Conclusions: Compared with the single feature inversion method, both the accuracy and correlation coefficient of soil moisture inversion increase significantly. The results demonstrated that the proposed method has higher inversion accuracy and reliability than the single feature inversion method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
