Resümee

Machine learning methods have made breakthroughs in recent years, and their remote sensing applications have developed from remote sensing image recognition and classification to many fields in quantitative retrievals. Owing to their complicated mechanism in quantitative aerosol remote sensing, the types and accuracy of retrieved parameters are limited. Machine learning introduces new research and application techniques to aerosol remote sensing. Existing aerosol retrieval machine learning methods are summarized into four categories: satellite aerosol optical depth remote sensing, other aerosol parameters’ satellite remote sensing, particulate matter concentration, and ground-based aerosol remote sensing. In consideration of the authors’ research, through analysis and discussion, the conditions for machine learning to be used for aerosol quantitative remote sensing are summarized as follows: (1) Physical models could not be utilized. (2) Existing models have low accuracy. (3) Existing models have low computational efficiency. From the perspective of application, relevant inputs can be used to utilize machine learning to improve retrieved product types, retrieval accuracy, and calculation efficiency. For the quantitative remote sensing research field, how to mine information from remote sensing data should also be paid attention to improve the retrieval capability. Machine learning can also feedback the understanding of remote sensing mechanisms through error analysis, such that machine learning and remote sensing mechanism research can promote each other.
