摘要: 基于探地雷达数据的冰裂隙检测研究对于冰川和气候研究、冰川地区活动安全性具有重要的意义。针对极地环境中冰裂隙纹理特征差异大易误检、检测实时性和检测泛化能力不足等难题,提出一种兼顾高精度与实时性的基于域对抗学习的冰裂隙自动检测方法。基于不同区域、复杂场景下的探地雷达数据,该文通过构建特征提取器与域判别器之间的对抗博弈机制,使模型能够在保持判别性特征提取能力的同时,有效缩小不同数据源之间的分布差异,从而实现跨域特征对齐,提升模型在不同数据源和复杂场景下的鲁棒性和稳定性。在特征提取阶段,设计并构建了基于小波残差网络的冰裂隙特征提取器。该模块通过在残差网络的首层引入可学习的多尺度小波卷积模块,实现在多尺度空间中自适应提取探地雷达数据中的冰裂隙特征,显著增强冰裂隙与连续雪层在特征空间的区分能力。实验基于2015年的南极麦克默多剪切带与北极格陵兰岛两个数据集,所提模型的冰裂隙检测平均准确率达95.70%,F1指数达95.50%,虚警率达1.87%,单样本平均推理时间为5.26 ms,满足在冰裂隙数据采集下的裂隙实时预警需求。多项实验结果综合表明,所提方法可在多场景、跨区域探地雷达数据中实现高精度、低虚警率与实时性的统一,适用于保障南极科考通行安全与冰川裂隙检测等场景。Abstract: Crevasse detection using Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) is crucial for glacier and climate studies and for ensuring safety in glacial regions. To address challenges including large texture variability in crevasses in polar environments, high false-alarm rates, limited real-time performance, and poor generalization, this study proposes a domain-adversarial learning–based automatic crevasse detection method that balances high accuracy and real-time efficiency. Using GPR data acquired from diverse regions and complex scenarios, an adversarial learning mechanism is established between a feature extractor and a domain discriminator, enabling the method to maintain discriminative feature extraction while effectively reducing interdomain distribution discrepancies. This leads to cross-domain feature alignment, enhancing robustness and generalization across heterogeneous data sources. In the feature extraction stage, a wavelet-residual-network-based crevasse feature extractor is designed. By introducing a learnable multiscale wavelet convolution module into the first layer of the residual network, the model adaptively extracts multiscale crevasse features from GPR data, significantly enhancing the separability between crevasse regions and continuous snow layers in the feature space. Experiments were conducted on two GPR datasets: the 2015 McMurdo Shear Zone dataset from Antarctica and a Greenland dataset from the Arctic region. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves an average detection accuracy of 95.70%, an F1-score of 95.50%, and a false-alarm rate of 1.87%, with an average inference time of 5.26 ms per sample, thereby meeting the requirements for real-time crevasse warning during field GPR acquisition. Overall, the proposed method achieves a favorable balance among high accuracy, low false-alarm rate, and real-time performance across multiscene and cross-regional GPR data, demonstrating its suitability for safety assurance during Antarctic expeditions and for glacier crevasse detection in polar research.
