Abstract

The reasonable remote sensing sale transformation method is very important for RS data utilization. In order to find a suitable scaling model for ascending scale and downscaling transformation with spectral data, given the randomness and structural of soil moisture data as regional variation, point Kriging method accounting for spatial heterogeneity is used in this study to transfer from ASTER soil moisture data with 15m resolution to 7.5m resolution. The similarity degree of fractal dimension is shown that the transformation result is reasonable. Block Kriging method is engaged in the upscaling transformation for the field measured point soil content to 7.5m spatial resolution. The 7.5m resolution upscaling scale conversion results and average of measured sample point soil moisture with downscaling 7.5 m resolution remote sensing data were compared respectively. The result shows that 7.5m resolution soil moisture mean error of the measured sample points is in the range of 1.5782 to 5.019, the error between 7.5m resolution upscaling scale conversion results and downscaling 7.5 m resolution remote sensing data is from 1.2825 to 5.0481, which indicates that soil moisture value acquired by Kriging is much better than the soil moisture average without considering spatial heterogeneity under the same scale because of Kriging method taking account of the relationship between the points and the surrounding.
