Resumen
In this paper, we applied the support vector machine (SVM) to the spatial interpolation of the multi-year average annual precipitation in the Three Gorges Region basin. By combining it with the inverse distance weighting and ordinary kriging method, we constructed the SVM residual inverse distance weighting, as well as the SVM residual kriging precipitation interpolation model and compared them with the inverse distance weighting, ordinary kriging, linear regression residual inverse distance weighting and linear regression residual kriging interpolation methods. The TRMM 3B43 V7 satellite precipitation information, which is processed by the latest revision algorithm, is used as the auxiliary variable for ground site precipitation interpolation along with latitude and elevation. Our results show that: (1) adding the TRMM 3B43 V7 satellite precipitation data as an auxiliary variable significantly improves the interpolation accuracy of the linear regression equation and SVM model; (2) the support vector machine hybrid interpolation method obtains superior interpolation results compared to the inverse distance weighting method, ordinary kriging method and linear regression hybrid interpolation method; (3) the interpolation accuracy of the SVM hybrid interpolation method depends on the SVM fitting degree, so we should choose a suitable fitting accuracy rather than the highest fitting accuracy; (4) the linear regression equation has a greater degree of dependency on the TRMM data than the SVM. The SVM accepts the TRMM data information while better maintaining its independence, taking into account that the TRMM data linear regression and linear regression hybrid interpolation method are not suitable for TRMM data evaluation.
