摘要: The rapid and accurate acquisition of soil moisture (SM) information is essential. Although Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) remote sensing technology has made significant advancements in SM monitoring, existing studies predominantly focus on developing models tailored to specific regions. The transferability of these models across different regions remains a considerable challenge. Therefore, this study proposes a transfer learning-based framework, using two representative small agricultural watersheds (Hongxing region and Woniutu region) in Northeast China as case studies. This framework involves pre-training a model on a source domain and fine-tuning it with a limited set of target domain samples to achieve high-precision SM inversion. This study evaluates the performance of three algorithms: Random Forest (RF), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network. Results show that the fine-tuned model significantly mitigates the decline in prediction accuracy caused by regional differences. The fine-tuned LSTM model achieved the highest retrieval accuracy, with the following results: 10% samples (R = 0.615, RRMSE = 15.583%), 30% samples (R = 0.682, RRMSE = 13.97%), and 50% samples (R = 0.767, RRMSE = 16.321%). Among these models, the LSTM model exhibited the most significant performance improvement and the best transferability. This study underscores the potential of transfer learning for enhancing cross-regional SM monitoring and providing valuable insights for future UAV-based SM monitoring.
