摘要

针对高分五号可见短波红外高光谱相机AHSI (visible-shortwave infrared Advanced HyperSpectral Imager)可见光波段存在的薄云干扰，本文提出了一种联合统计信息与散射模型的校正方法。利用AHSI影像邻近波段间地表与云雾辐射的统计差异，实现对不同场景下相对薄云辐射

RCR

(Relative Cloud Radiance)的准确估计。基于此，根据不同波段的散射特性，分别利用分级暗目标统计和散射模型约束策略，获取可见光波段的绝对云辐射强度，最终实现影像校正。通过设置模拟与真实实验对方法的有效性和鲁棒性进行目视和定量检验。模拟实验中，可见光波段内的薄云干扰均可被有效地去除，校正结果与真实地表十分一致；此外，RMSE (Root-Mean-Square Error)

MAE (Mean Absolute Error)和SA (Spectral Angle)3个评价指标的值分别为1.9891

1.6822和0.4901，远小于对比方法。真实实验中，不同场景内的薄云可被有效抑制，在较为准确恢复降质地表信息的同时保持晴空区光谱特征；Q指数，SSIM (Structural Similarity Index)和UQI (Universal Quality Index)的计算结果优于对比方法。综上，本文提出方法可用于不同场景下高分五号AHSI影像可见光波段的薄云校正，可得到目视效果良好且光谱保真度高的校正结果。

Abstract

Thin clouds widely exist in the visible bands of GaoFen-5 visible-shortwave infrared Advanced HyperSpectral Imager (AHSI)

thereby degrading the data quality. In this study

a thin cloud correction method based on statistical information and scattering model was proposed to correct the clouds and restore the surface information with high fidelity.

The proposed method combines the statistical information between two adjacent visible bands and the atmospheric scattering model among visible bands. Two steps are included

that is estimating the Relative Cloud Radiance (

RCR

) and calculating the absolute radiance for different visible bands.

For a pair of adjacent visible bands

the ground radiance of clear pixels is highly and linearly correlated. However

the linear relationship deviates when the pixel is contaminated by clouds. The stronger the cloud contamination is

the larger the deviation will be. Therefore

the

RCR

can be accurately estimated using the two adjacent visible bands of the AHSI. Relying on the

RCR

different strategies were utilized to calculate the absolute cloud radiance for different visible bands in accordance with their scatter properties. A hierarchical dark object strategy was used to calculate the cloud radiance for the bands in blue and green spectral regions. A scattering model was adopted for the bands in red spectral region. The cloud-free results can be obtained by subtracting the band-varied cloud radiance from cloudy images when the absolute cloud radiance of different visible bands were calculated.

Synthetic and real experiments were conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method through qualitative and quantitative analyses. In the synthetic experiments

the cloud contamination in visible bands can be completely cleared

and the results are closest to the ground truth compared with the two other methods. The values of root-mean-square error

mean absolute error

and spectral angle values are only 1.9891

1.6822

and 0.4901

respectively

which are smaller than those of the compared methods. In the real experiments

the thin clouds in various scenes can be completely corrected

whereas the spectral characteristics of the clear regions are relatively maintained. The scores of the Q-index

structural similarity index

and universal quality index showed that the proposed method achieve the best performance in most cases compared with the two other methods. All the comparisons indicated the proposed method has superior cloud correction ability for different scenes.

This study proposed a thin cloud correction method for the GF-5 AHSI visible data. The highly linear correlation between the two adjacent visible bands can be used to accurately estimate the

RCR

. Various strategies were utilized to calculate cloud radiance in accordance with the scattering properties of different bands

wherea hierarchical dark object strategy was used for the bands in blue and green spectral regions

whereas a scattering model strategy was used for the bands in red spectral region. The thin clouds in the visible bands of AHSI data can be completely corrected by combining the statistical information and scattering model. For various scenes

the results achieve the best performance compared with the compared methods in terms ofqualitative and quantitative aspects.
