Abstract
Accurate estimation of tropical cyclone (TC) intensity, as an important task for meteorological hazard monitoring and warning, is often regarded as a problem of intensity grade classification or intensity regression. Good classification accuracy of TC intensity is of great significance to improve the accuracy of TC intensity estimation. Based on the infrared brightness temperature data of the Northwest Pacific Basin, a TC intensity classification method based on feature fusion of infrared satellite images is proposed in this paper. The proposed method divides infrared satellite images into three categories according to intensity grades of TCs: TS+STS, STY, VSTY+ViolentTY. Firstly, the features of the middle layer of Xception network which is one of deep convolutionary neural network models are extracted. Then, after 1×1 convolution and pooling, they are fused with the features of the output of the full connection layer. Finally, the fused features are sent into the Softmax classifier to determine the category. In this paper, by fusing the information from different convolutional layers, the information complementarity of global and local features can be realized. The results show that the proposed model has the best performance after the fusion of the features output from the seventh residual module in middle flow and the output features of the full connection layer. The classification accuracy of TC intensity grades is improved to 80.99%, which is 1.5% higher than the original Xception network. The proposed method can be applied to the task of TC intensity estimation.
