It is found that there are some anomalous high-energy nuclear-shaped regions in the VLF frequency band of the space electric field. To detect and statistically analyze these nuclear-shaped anomaly areas, this paper proposes a nuclear-shaped anomaly area detection method based on the electric field power spectrum image data of the China Seismo Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES-01). First, the logarithm of VLF frequency band data was calculated and rotated counterclockwise to create power spectrum images and label them to form a sample image dataset; then, images were enhanced (which involved resizing, scaling, rotation, gaussian denoising, etc.) to solve the problems of the model overfitting and sample imbalance. Finally, the U-net network model based on the ResNet50 encoder was trained to obtain the optimal kernel anomaly detection model ResNet50_Unet. Comparative experiments with various semantic segmentation algorithms show that the ResNet50_Unet model has the best performance. Applying this model to detect the electric field power spectrum images from November 2021 to February 2022, a total of 101 nuclear-shaped anomaly areas were found, distributed between 45° and 70° of the north–south latitude. This model can quickly detect nuclear-shaped anomaly regions from massive data, providing reference significance for the detection of other types of ionospheric spatial disturbances. At the same time, it has important scientific significance and practical value for understanding the ionosphere and space communication.
