土壤湿度是衡量地表水资源可用性的重要指标。它在地球的水循环过程中扮演着关键角色,连接着降水、蒸发、储存和径流等各个环节。对于农业、林业资源管理和火灾防控等领域来说,土壤湿度数据至关重要。然而,传统的土壤湿度监测手段存在一定局限性。传统的土壤湿度监测主要依赖于地面监测站和卫星遥感技术。但合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar, SAR)影像数据结合被动微波遥感数据,可实现对土壤湿度的高精度反演和空间分布制图。而微型SAR系统相较于传统大型SAR平台,展现出显著优势:微型合成孔径雷达(Miniaturized SAR/MicroSAR)在土壤湿度监测中的应用是当前遥感技术的前沿方向之一,尤其适用于高分辨率、近实时的小范围监测(如农田、森林或灾害区域)。


1. 微型SAR的优势

轻量化与低成本:重量可低至几公斤(如无人机载SAR),适合搭载于小型无人机(UAV)、近地卫星或商业卫星。
高频次观测:灵活部署,弥补大型卫星重访周期长的不足。
高分辨率:可达亚米级,适合精细农业或局部水文研究。

2. 土壤湿度监测原理

雷达后向散射信号分析:土壤湿度影响地表介电常数,从而改变雷达回波强度(尤其对C/X波段敏感)。


极化与干涉技术:

多极化(VV/VH/HH):区分植被覆盖与土壤水分(如VH极化减少植被干扰)。

InSAR(干涉SAR):通过相位变化检测土壤膨胀/收缩(毫米级湿度变化)。

3.微型SAR应用于土壤湿度在诸多领域监测的应用

(1)洪水预测

土壤湿度信息有助于预测洪水潜力。尽管洪水是由强降雨引发的,但饱和的土壤大大增加了洪水的可能性,因为土壤不再能够吸收雨水。当未被土壤吸收的雨水通过狭窄的出口排出的速度不足以容纳降雨速率时,流域内就会发生洪水。采用SAR技术服务将可更好的监测洪水情况,以做预警。


(2)林火监测

近年来,野火造成了许多灾难,频发的严重野火灾害凸显了早期预警的重要性。SAR技术服务不仅能通过监测植被状态(如生物量、含水量)来评估当前火灾风险,其反演的表层土壤湿度数据在预测火灾爆发可能性方面也至关重要,因为长期干旱往往是火灾爆发的先决条件之一。


(3)滑坡预警

滑坡通常突然发生,留给居民逃生的时间很少。量滑坡发生在强降雨或持续降雨之后,土壤水分饱和导致土体粘聚力下降、重量增加,从而诱发失稳。

绘制高精度土壤湿度分布图,可作为识别潜在滑坡危险区域、进行早期预警的重要手段。


(4)农业应用

在单个农田尺度上获取准确的土壤湿度信息,可以实现高效的灌溉、用水和施肥。高效的灌溉可以节约水资源,这些资源由于干旱和全球对食物需求的增加。而优化施肥可以降低成本,并防止过量营养物质污染河流系统。传统上依赖人工田间巡查获取土壤湿度信息,而SAR技术可高效、客观地提供大范围田块尺度的精准数据,下列图以冬季小麦浇灌监测为例:

Tianjing Yunhu | MiniSAR: Full Polarimetric Imaging Capability

In the field of remote sensing today, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), visible light, and infrared together form a multi-layered observation system. Visible light remote sensing is intuitive and clear, while infrared remote sensing excels at thermal sensing. However, both are passive detection methods, heavily reliant on sunlight or the target's own thermal radiation. Once they encounter cloud cover, nightfall, or rainy/foggy weather, their detection capabilities are significantly reduced or even completely lost.

Tianjing Yunhu | P-band Airborne SAR Radar System

Low-frequency radars (such as P-band and L-band radars) can "see farther and see more clearly" because of their longer wavelengths, lower attenuation, and reduced sensitivity to stealth coatings. In modern air defense systems, they are key to anti-stealth radars. They can penetrate 1-meter-thick camouflage netting and 3-meter-thick bushes to identify hidden tanks and radar stations, and are less likely to trigger enemy warning systems, demonstrating significant advantages in covert detection.

Tianjing Yunhu | Miniature SAR Vehicle Target Dataset

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) target detection datasets are a core foundation for training and evaluating deep learning models.

They not only provide high-resolution SAR images but also contain precise annotation information (category, location, size, etc.), ensuring improved algorithm performance.

Tianjing Yunhu | Airborne SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) Calibration Capability

Airborne SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) calibration refers to the calibration of various parameters of an airborne SAR system using specific methods to eliminate systematic and environmental errors, thereby ensuring the quality of SAR images, positioning accuracy, and the accuracy of inversion parameters. Airborne SAR calibration is mainly divided into three categories: geometric calibration, radiometric calibration, and polarimetric calibration.

UAV L-band Heavy Orbit Interferometric SAR System: Airborne Verification for Millimeter-Level Deformation Monitoring

Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) technology, with its all-weather, 24/7 capability and high sensitivity to surface deformation, has become an important tool for geological hazard monitoring, ground subsidence investigation, and infrastructure health diagnosis. Integrating InSAR technology onto unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms further overcomes the limitations of long satellite revisit cycles, insufficient maneuverability, and high costs associated with manned operations, providing a new approach for regional, high-frequency, and high-precision deformation monitoring. However, the small size and susceptibility of UAV platforms to airflow disturbances make it difficult to maintain consistent flight paths during repeated flights, posing a significant challenge to double-track interferometry processing.
