A spatial random forest downscaling LST method (SRFD) was proposed in this study, which supplemented the shortcomings of previous statistics-based downscaling methods by adding the spatial feature of LST. Results show that SRFD outperforms other methods in vision and statistics.
Land surface temperature (LST) is one of the crucial parameters in the physical processes of the Earth. Acquiring LST images with high spatial and temporal resolutions is currently difficult because of the technical restriction of satellite thermal infrared sensors. Downscaling LST from coarse to fine spatial resolution is an effective means to alleviate this problem. A spatial random forest downscaling LST method (SRFD) was proposed in this study. Abundant predictor variables-including land surface reflection data, remote sensing spectral indexes, terrain factors, and land cover type data-were considered and applied for feature selection in SRFD. Moreover, the shortcoming of only focusing on information from point-to-point in previous statistics-based downscaling methods was supplemented by adding the spatial feature of LST. SRFD was applied to three different heterogeneous regions and compared with the results from three classical or excellent methods, including thermal image sharpening algorithm, multifactor geographically weighted regression, and random forest downscaling method. Results show that SRFD outperforms other methods in vision and statistics due to the benefits from the supplement of the LST spatial feature. Specifically, compared with RFD, the second-best method, the downscaling results of SRFD are 10% to 24% lower in root-mean-square error, 5% to 20% higher in the coefficient of determination, 11% to 25% lower in mean absolute error, and 4% to 17% higher in structural similarity index measure. Hence, we conclude that SRFD will be a promising LST downscaling method.
