Inversion Method for Chlorophyll-a Concentration in High-Salinity Water Based on Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Data.

As one of the important lakes in the "One Lake and Two Seas" of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the monitoring of water quality in Lake Daihai has attracted increasing attention, and the concentration of chlorophyll-a directly affects the water quality, making the monitoring of chlorophyll-a concentration in Lake Daihai particularly crucial. Traditional methods of monitoring chlorophyll-a concentration are not only inefficient but also require significant human and material resources. Remote sensing technology has the advantages of wide coverage and short update cycles. For lakes such as Daihai with a high salinity content, salinity is considered a key factor when inverting the concentration of chlorophyll-a. In this study, machine learning models, including model stacking from ensemble learning, a ridge regression model, and a random forest model, were constructed. After comparing the training accuracy of the three models on Zhuhai-1 satellite data, the random forest model, which had the highest accuracy, was selected as the final training model. By comparing the accuracy changes before and after adding salinity factors to the random forest model, a high-precision model for inverting chlorophyll-a concentration in hypersaline lakes was obtained. The research results show that, without considering the salinity factor, the root mean square error (RMSE) of the model was 0.056, and the coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.64, indicating moderate model performance. After adding the salinity factor, the model accuracy significantly improved: the RMSE decreased to 0.047, and the R2 increased to 0.92. This study provides a solid basis for the application of remote sensing technology in hypersaline aquatic environments, confirming the importance of considering salinity when estimating chlorophyll-a concentration in hypersaline waters. This research helps us gain a deeper understanding of the water quality and ecosystem evolution in Daihai Lake.

Remote Sensing Monitoring of Grassland Locust Density Based on Machine Learning.

The main aim of this study was to utilize remote sensing data to establish regression models through machine learning to predict locust density in the upcoming year. First, a dataset for monitoring grassland locust density was constructed based on meteorological data and multi-source remote sensing data in the study area. Subsequently, an SVR (support vector regression) model, BP neural network regression model, random forest regression model, BP neural network regression model with the PCA (principal component analysis), and deep belief network regression model were built on the dataset. The experimental results show that the random forest regression model had the best prediction performance among the five models. Specifically, the model achieved a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9685 and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.0144 on the test set, which were the optimal values achieved among all the models tested. Finally, the locust density in the study area for 2023 was predicted and, by comparing the predicted results with actual measured data, it was found that the prediction accuracy was high. This is of great significance for local grassland ecological management, disaster warning, scientific decision-making support, scientific research progress, and sustainable agricultural development.
