基于机载LiDAR测深水体波形的漫衰减系数提取方法

漫衰减系数是一个重要的海洋光学参数，能够为水体环境变化、水质分析以及水产养殖等方面提供基础性数据。针对目前船载实地测量效率与分辨率低、卫星遥感反演精度与分辨率较低的局限性，本文提出一种基于机载LiDAR测深水体波形的漫衰减系数提取方法。该方法首先通过分层异构模型的机载LiDAR波形分解算法得到水体散射回波，利用激光在水体中的衰减特性，构建漫衰减系数提取模型，最终获取大面积水域漫衰减系数的空间分布。采用西沙甘泉岛与江苏连云港两个航次的实测数据对所提算法进行了验证，本算法无需每个测深点的水底底部回波强度和深度即可反演得到漫衰减系数，并且在浑浊水域也可取得较好的效果，表明在中国近海利用机载LiDAR测深系统能够有效获取高精度的漫衰减系数。

Extraction method for diffuse attenuation coefficient based on airborne LiDAR bathymetric water column waveform

The diffuse attenuation coefficient(Kd)is an important marine optical parameter,which can provide the basic data for the water environment change,the water quality analysis and the aquaculture.There are some limitations of the traditional methods,such as the low efficiency and resolution of the traditional shipborne field measurement and the rough inversion accuracy and spatial resolution of the satellite remote sensing.Therefore,an extraction method for diffuse attenuation coefficient based on airborne LiDAR bathymetric water column waveform is proposed in this paper.Firstly,the water column contribution is decomposed by the waveform decomposition algorithm for airborne LiDAR bathymetry based on the layered heterogeneous model.Then,according to the attenuation characteristics of laser in water,the diffuse attenuation coefficient extraction model is constructed.Finally,the diffuse attenuation coefficient spatial distribution in a large area of water is obtained.The performance of the proposed method was verified by the measured data from the Ganquan Island in the Xisha Archipelago and the Lianyungang’s seacoast.The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method could obtain the diffuse attenuation coefficient without the water bottom contribution intensity and depth information for each bathymetric point.And the good results were also achieved in turbid waters.Meanwhile,the proposed method showed the feasibility of employing the ALB system to obtain the high-precision diffuse attenuation coefficient in China coastal waters.
