Blue-green algae (BGA) blooms are a common and harmful occurrence in many water bodies. In this study, a spatial–temporal deep learning prediction model based on Graph Convolutional Network and Gated Recurrent Unit (GCN-GRU) is utilized to predict BGA concentration based on water quality data gathered by an unmanned surface vehicle (USV). To solve the uneven distribution of the water quality sampling positions of USV, the Kriging algorithm is applied to structure the water quality data into a graphical distribution, which can be further input into our proposed GCN-GRU deep learning network to predict short-term BGA concentration. We compare the prediction accuracy of our algorithm with the other four prediction benchmarks (HA, SVR, GRU, LTSM) in four metrics (RMSE, MAE, MAPE, R-Squared). Experimental results indicate that our GCN-GRU model has the best performance in predicting the spatial–temporal distribution of BGA in each metric.

摘要

Blue-green algae (BGA) blooms are a common and harmful occurrence in many water bodies. In this study, a spatial–temporal deep learning prediction model based on Graph Convolutional Network and Gated Recurrent Unit (GCN-GRU) is utilized to predict BGA concentration based on water quality data gathered by an unmanned surface vehicle (USV). To solve the uneven distribution of the water quality sampling positions of USV, the Kriging algorithm is applied to structure the water quality data into a graphical distribution, which can be further input into our proposed GCN-GRU deep learning network to predict short-term BGA concentration. We compare the prediction accuracy of our algorithm with the other four prediction benchmarks (HA, SVR, GRU, LTSM) in four metrics (RMSE, MAE, MAPE, R-Squared). Experimental results indicate that our GCN-GRU model has the best performance in predicting the spatial–temporal distribution of BGA in each metric.
