摘要:

极光卵的极光强度能够直观反极光粒子沉降的分布特征, 是研究磁层动力学以及空间环境的重要物理参量, 理解磁层、电离层、热层及耦合关系具有重要意义。研究发现, 部分空间物理参数与极光强度密切相关, 但目前并没有明确的数学关系, 而神经网络可以通过映射关系建模两者的关系。因此, 本文基于Polar卫星的紫外极光图像数据, 利用NASA OMNI数据库中与极光卵强度相关的6个空间物理参数, 构建199612月—19971的极光卵强度数据集。利用基于文本到图像的特征感知生成式对抗网络(Feature-Aware Generative Adversarial Network, FA-GAN)构建物理参数到极光卵强度的预测模型。利用4个评价指标(KL散度、结构相似度(structure similarity, SSIM)Inception Score(SIS)Frechet Inception Distance(DFID))对极光强度预测模型进行性能评。结果显示, 基于FA-GAN方法的极光强度预测模型预测结果对应的SSIM、SIS以及DFID明显优于现有的极光强度预测模型。

Abstract:

The auroral intensity of the auroral oval directly reflects the distribution characteristics of auroral particle precipitation. It serves as a critical physical parameter for investigating magnetospheric dynamics and the space environment, playing a vital role in understanding the coupling mechanisms between the magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere. Recent studies have demonstrated that specific space physical parameters are closely correlated with auroral intensity; however, their explicit mathematical relationships remain poorly defined. Neural networks offer a robust alternative by modeling these complex non-linear associations through learned mapping relationships. In this study, an auroral oval intensity dataset spanning from December 1996 to January 1997 was constructed using ultraviolet auroral imagery from the Polar satellite, integrated with six key space physical parameters retrieved from the NASA OMNI database. A prediction model mapping physical parameters to auroral oval intensity was developed based on the Feature-Aware Generative Adversarial Network (FA-GAN), a text-to-image synthesis framework. The performance of the proposed model was evaluated using four metrics: Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, Structural Similarity (SSIM), Structural Inception Score (SIS), and Denoising Feature Inception Distance (DFID). The experimental results indicate that the FA-GAN-based prediction model significantly outperforms existing auroral intensity models in terms of SSIM, SIS, and DFID.
