摘要： Soil moisture (SM) monitoring in farmland at a regional scale is crucial for precision irrigation management and ensuring food security. However, existing methods for SM estimation encounter significant challenges related to accuracy, generalizability, and automation. This study proposes an integrated data fusion method to systematically assess the potential of three automated machine learning (AutoML) frameworks-tree-based pipeline optimization tool (TPOT), AutoGluon, and H2O AutoML-in retrieving SM. To evaluate the impact of input variables on estimation accuracy, six input scenarios were designed: multispectral data (MS), thermal infrared data (TIR), MS combined with TIR, MS with auxiliary data, TIR with auxiliary data, and a comprehensive combination of MS, TIR, and auxiliary data. The research was conducted in a winter wheat cultivation area within the People's Victory Canal Irrigation Area, focusing on the 0-40 cm soil layer. The results revealed that the scenario incorporating all data types (MS + TIR + auxiliary) achieved the highest retrieval accuracy. Under this scenario, all three AutoML frameworks demonstrated optimal performance. AutoGluon demonstrated superior performance in most scenarios, particularly excelling in the MS + TIR + auxiliary data scenario. It achieved the highest retrieval accuracy with a Pearson correlation coefficient (R) value of 0.822, root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.038 cm3/cm3, and relative root mean square error (RRMSE) of 16.46%. This study underscores the critical role of input data types and fusion strategies in enhancing SM estimation accuracy and highlights the significant advantages of AutoML frameworks for regional-scale SM retrieval. The findings offer a robust technical foundation and theoretical guidance for advancing precision irrigation management and efficient SM monitoring.
