The invention discloses a method for inverting
arctic melting
pool distribution by using an
artificial neural network. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, collecting a high-resolution melting
pool image and a medium-resolution
imaging spectrometer MOD09GA at the same time period, and re-projecting the high-resolution melting
pool image and the medium-resolution imaging spectrometerMOD09GA into sine projection; then, constructing a grid consistent with the MOD09GA; calculating the proportion of a melting pool, the proportion of
sea ice and the proportion of
open water in each grid, and deleting pixels covered by cloud in MOD09GA; forming a
data set by the obtained data, the corresponding sun-chasing surface reflectance and the MOD09GA 1-7 waveband reflectance; finally, constructing a melting pool model, taking the matched MOD09GA 1-7 waveband
reflectivity as an input set, taking the corresponding
sea ice proportion, melting pool proportion and
open water proportion as anoutput sample set to
train an
artificial neural network, and finding an optimal solution. The method overcomes the defects of
field observation and underway observation in time and space, has the characteristics of rapidness and simplicity, improves the
remote sensing monitoring level of polar regions in China, and can better reflect the real melting pool condition of the
north pole.
