Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of artificial intelligence and aviation safety technology, and in particular to an intelligent aircraft inspection system based on a multi-modal large model. Background Art

[0002] Aircraft safety and reliability are of vital importance to the air transport industry. Therefore, regular aircraft inspection and maintenance are necessary measures to ensure flight safety.

[0003] However, existing aircraft inspection technologies face several challenges and limitations, including the following:

[0004] Low efficiency of manual inspection: Traditional manual inspection relies on technicians to manually inspect the aircraft. Due to the large size and complex components of the aircraft, a comprehensive inspection takes a lot of time. Technicians need to carefully inspect each component, and it is difficult to ensure the thoroughness and consistency of each inspection;

[0005] Strong subjectivity of personnel: During manual inspections, the experience and subjective judgment of technicians will affect the inspection results, which may cause some potential problems to be missed, thereby increasing the risk of failure;

[0006] Limitations of single-mode inspection: Current inspection technologies usually rely on single-mode data, such as using only visual cameras for inspection or relying on acoustic sensors to detect noise. This single-mode data cannot fully capture the aircraft status and may miss faults that can be identified through other modes;

[0007] Limited data processing capabilities: Traditional detection systems face challenges in processing and analyzing large amounts of sensor data. Data processing is often decentralized, lacking effective integration and analysis, making it difficult to extract useful information from complex data.

[0008] Limited application scope: Although artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies have been used in the aviation field to a certain extent in recent years, these technologies are mostly used for data analysis or fault prediction and have not yet been widely integrated into actual aircraft inspection systems;

[0009] Insufficient multimodal data fusion: Current AI and ML applications are still insufficient in multimodal data fusion. The comprehensive analysis capabilities of multimodal data (such as visual, infrared, sound waves, etc.) are not strong, making it impossible to fully utilize the potential of these data to improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of fault detection;

[0010] High cost: Traditional comprehensive inspections require a lot of labor costs and equipment maintenance costs. In addition, high-frequency inspections may interfere with the normal use of aircraft and affect the operating efficiency of airlines;

[0011] Safety risks: Due to the limitations of manual inspection, some hidden faults may not be discovered in time, increasing flight safety risks.

[0012] In summary, the existing aircraft inspection technology faces many problems such as low efficiency, limited detection range, insufficient data processing capacity, high cost and safety risks. To this end, an intelligent aircraft inspection system based on a multimodal large model is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0080] Embodiment 1:

[0081] Step 1: System Setup and Initialization

[0082] Hardware deployment: Multimodal sensors such as high-resolution cameras, infrared sensors, microphone arrays, vibration sensors, etc. are placed in key parts of the aircraft, including engines, landing gear, wings and other parts prone to problems. These sensors are connected to edge computing devices via a local area network to facilitate local data processing.

[0083] Edge computing devices: Edge computing devices deployed on the aircraft or ground maintenance center are equipped with sufficient processing power and storage space to support real-time data preprocessing and transmission. After completing basic preprocessing, the edge device uploads the data to the cloud system to ensure the stability and real-time nature of data flow.

[0084] Cloud Server: Connect the aircraft's edge devices and ground data centers to the cloud server. The cloud server is responsible for long-term data storage, in-depth analysis, and system optimization. The cloud has security protocols to protect data from unauthorized access.

[0085] Step 2: Data collection and processing

[0086] Data collection: The system collects data from various sensors in real time, including visual, infrared, acoustic and vibration data, and adds a timestamp to each piece of data to ensure the synchronization of multimodal data. During data collection, additional information such as specific aircraft models, production batches, historical inspection records, warranty and fault records are integrated into the database to form rich contextual information.

[0087] Data preprocessing: During the aircraft inspection, the collected data is transferred to the data processing module. The data preprocessing unit performs denoising, normalization, data enhancement and other processing on the raw data to ensure that the data quality is suitable for subsequent analysis.

[0088] The dynamic multi-modal fusion mechanism introduced here can adaptively adjust the fusion weights of each modal feature, improving the sensitivity of the model to diverse fault features. For details, see the data preprocessing module of the technical solution;

[0089] Multimodal data fusion: The pre-processed data is input into the multimodal data fusion unit, and the fusion algorithm is used to integrate the visual, infrared, acoustic and vibration data into a unified model input to provide more comprehensive aircraft status information.

[0090] Temporal alignment is introduced here to generate new time-aligned feature groups by identifying the temporal relationship between each modality in the historical data. This mechanism can capture the potential correlation between sensor, image and sound data during the alignment process.

[0091] Step 3: Large model training

[0092] Multimodal large model construction: Deep neural network models are trained in the cloud. The model structure includes convolutional layers for visual feature extraction, recurrent layers for processing time series information, and feature fusion layers for integrating data from different modalities. The training data comes from a large amount of annotated historical fault data so that the model can identify the association between multimodal features.

[0093] Model optimization and time series processing: The system adds historical data to the training process for incremental learning. Through time series data, the model learns specific behavior patterns during the operation of the equipment and enhances its ability to perceive potential risks. After training, the model will regularly fine-tune and learn online through new inspection data to continuously optimize the accuracy of fault prediction.

[0094] Model verification: Before actual application, the system conducts verification testing on the model and evaluates the model through a known fault data set to ensure that the model's fault recognition rate and false alarm rate meet the expected standards.

[0095] Step 4: Real-time troubleshooting

[0096] Data flow during the inspection process: The system acquires data in real time during the aircraft inspection process. The data collected by the sensor is processed by the edge device and transmitted to the large cloud model in real time. After each round of data transmission, the system generates a multimodal feature vector and inputs it into the model.

[0097] Real-time analysis and fault identification: After receiving new data, the large model uses a deep learning model to analyze the characteristics of each mode separately. For critical faults, the model uses a weighted fusion strategy to integrate the prediction results of each mode to generate the final fault identification result. The system completes the diagnostic analysis within seconds and determines whether an early warning needs to be generated.

[0098] Automatic warning and notification: If the model identifies an abnormal signal that exceeds the threshold, the system will automatically generate a warning message and push it to the maintenance personnel terminal. The warning message includes the specific component, possible cause of failure and recommended maintenance measures. The system will also automatically update the inspection record to ensure the complete maintenance history.

[0099] The equipment in this step is a cloud computing device. The aircraft collects real-time data, and the cloud server is responsible for processing the data. The cloud server can also combine the past historical records of all aircraft of the same type and model to make fault judgments.

[0100] Step 5: Cloud Data Management and Model Optimization

[0101] Data storage and sharing: All inspection data and diagnostic results are stored in the cloud for easy access and analysis by different maintenance teams, enabling data sharing and knowledge accumulation. The system also supports automated data analysis and learning processes, using new data to fine-tune the model and continuously improve the accuracy of fault detection.

[0102] Continuous learning and model updates: The system has online learning capabilities in the cloud, which can introduce new inspection data to achieve incremental updates and regularly retrain models to ensure improved accuracy and sensitivity of fault prediction. The data management module will perform regular backups and security checks to protect system data security.

[0103] Step 6: User interaction and visualization

[0104] Interface display: Users can view the aircraft's current status, historical inspection records, fault warnings and diagnostic reports through an intuitive graphical interface. The interface supports interactive analysis, and users can click on specific components to view detailed diagnostic information, such as fault type, related sensor data, and potential risks.

[0105] Decision support and report generation: When the system generates a fault diagnosis report, users can choose to archive the inspection data or use it as incremental learning data for the model. The system also supports the generation of printable reports, which contain detailed inspection data, historical fault comparisons, and system recommendations for technicians to refer to and make decisions.

[0106] This embodiment places the processing and analysis of the model in the cloud, and the aircraft side only needs to collect and upload data, thus significantly reducing the computing burden on the aircraft side. Cloud computing provides powerful computing power, which can comprehensively analyze a large amount of historical data of different types of aircraft, identify problems more accurately, and support the reception and transmission of real-time information;

[0107] In the data preprocessing, timestamps and rich aircraft information are added, including specific models, production batches, inspection records, warranty and fault records, and aircraft manual contents. The addition of this information not only facilitates the system to conduct comprehensive analysis, but also improves the model's fault prediction accuracy and decision support level;

[0108] A long short-term memory (LSTM) network is introduced to process time series data to capture dynamic information, and combined with the global context-aware characteristics of the converter architecture, it can achieve an understanding of long-term behavior and improve fault prediction accuracy.
