Abstract

Nowadays, natural resource monitoring represents an actual and challenging research topic in the context of the new climate neutrality strategies. In this paper, we design a composite index for assessing natural resources such as lands that can sustain vegetation. We also implement a cloud computing solution based on the microservice architecture that allows the monitoring of natural resources such as water, soil, and vegetation using satellite products provided by SentinelHub. The images are processed to obtain NDWI (Normalized Difference Water), BSI (Bare Soil), NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation), and NDMI (Normalized Difference Moisture) index values. Furthermore, we compute the quality composite index for the specified area based on the previously mentioned indexes. Moreover, comparisons can be made between various years chosen by the user. The solution can be deployed in a Cloud Computing environment, is scalable due to multiple replicas of the used services, reliable due to the cache service that saves already processed indexes in a database, reducing the dependency on SentinelHub, and is secure due to various protection measures against SQL and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

利用卫星图像监测自然资源的质量维持植被指数

如今，在新的气候中和战略背景下，自然资源监测是一个实际而又具有挑战性的研究课题。在本文中，我们设计了一个用于评估自然资源（如可维持植被的土地）的综合指数。我们还实施了一个基于微服务架构的云计算解决方案，利用 SentinelHub 提供的卫星产品对水、土壤和植被等自然资源进行监测。通过对图像进行处理，可获得归一化差异水分（NDWI）、裸土（BSI）、归一化差异植被（NDVI）和归一化差异水分（NDMI）指数值。此外，我们还会根据上述指数计算指定区域的质量综合指数。此外，还可以对用户选择的不同年份进行比较。该解决方案可部署在云计算环境中，由于使用的服务有多个副本，因此具有可扩展性；由于缓存服务可将已处理的索引保存在数据库中，因此具有可靠性，从而降低了对 SentinelHub 的依赖性；由于采取了各种保护措施来抵御 SQL 和拒绝服务（DoS）攻击，因此具有安全性。
