[0002] In the field of leakage monitoring of pipe gallery pipelines, traditional methods mainly rely on manual inspections and fixed-threshold sensor detections, which have problems such as poor environmental adaptability and high false alarm rates. Although vision-based detection technologies can identify some leakage characteristics, under complex lighting changes, pipeline surface reflections, and dynamic background interferences, the reliability of the detection results significantly decreases.

[0003] Although existing deep learning solutions have improved the detection accuracy in some scenarios, they are highly dependent on training data and have insufficient generalization ability in the face of small-sample scenarios with diverse pipeline materials and variable leakage patterns. In addition, multi-sensor fusion solutions are difficult to be deployed on a large scale in industrial scenarios due to high hardware costs and complex data alignment. At the same time, existing technologies generally lack in-depth verification of the physical laws of leakage, resulting in the inability to effectively distinguish real leakage from dynamic environmental interferences, which restricts the practicability and reliability of the detection system.

[0079] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0080] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 , the present invention provides a leakage monitoring system for key connection points of pipe corridor pipelines based on AI vision, aiming to achieve high-precision leakage monitoring of key connection points in the pipe corridor. This system can be widely applied to complex environments such as underground utility tunnels, oil pipelines, water supply pipelines, and chemical pipelines to achieve accurate leakage detection, three-dimensional positioning, trend prediction, and intelligent alarm, improving pipeline safety and maintenance efficiency.

[0081] As Figure 1 shown, the leakage monitoring system for key connection points of pipe corridor pipelines based on AI vision may include:

[0082] Data acquisition module: used to obtain visible light images, infrared thermal imaging data, pressure sensing data, and laser spectroscopy analysis data;

[0083] Intelligent analysis module: based on a dynamic heterogeneous neural network (DHNN), perform leakage detection on multimodal data and calculate the leakage probability;

[0084] 3D modeling module: use neural radiance fields (NeRF) technology to construct a 3D model of the pipe gallery environment, and combine the output results of the intelligent analysis module to locate the leakage points;

[0085] Spatio-temporal verification module: combine the optical flow tracking algorithm with fluid mechanics analysis to verify the consistency of the detected leakage area in the time and space dimensions;

[0086] Alarm prediction module: use the Bayesian decision algorithm to trigger an alarm and predict the leakage diffusion trend based on the fluid mechanics model.

[0087] The following is a detailed description of each module in the system of the present invention, comprehensively elaborating on the specific implementation principles, technical details, and processes of each module.

[0088] For the data acquisition module, it is used to synchronously collect visible light images, infrared thermal imaging data, pressure sensing data, and gas composition data of the pipe gallery area, and preprocess the multimodal data.

[0089] Exemplarily, the following sensors are arranged around the key connection points of the pipe gallery: visible light cameras (resolution ≥ 1920×1080, frame rate 30fps), infrared thermal imagers (wavelength range 8 - 14μm), pressure sensors (accuracy ±0.1MPa), and laser spectroscopy analyzers (detection accuracy 0.1ppm). Each sensor is connected through a hardware synchronization unit to ensure that the timestamp error is less than 1ms. Preferably, the visible light camera and the infrared thermal imager are installed coaxially to eliminate the viewing angle deviation.

[0090] First, perform contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) processing on the visible light images to eliminate image noise in the low-light environment of the pipe gallery. Specifically, the image is divided into 8×8 sub-regions, the histogram clipping threshold for each sub-region is 0.03, and the global image is reconstructed through bilinear interpolation. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the processed image is increased to more than 30dB, which can effectively extract the texture features of the leakage area.

[0091] Perform temperature normalization processing on the infrared thermal imaging data to eliminate the interference of ambient temperature fluctuations. The calculation formula is:

[0092]

[0093] where, TIR is the original temperature value, μ T is the historical average temperature, σ T is the standard deviation. Preferably, when |T norm | > 2.5, it is determined that the temperature is abnormal and the leakage candidate area is marked.

[0094] Calculate the real-time change rate of pipeline pressure. The formula is:

[0095]

[0096] where P t is the current pressure value, and Δt is the sampling interval (default 1 s). If ΔP exceeds the threshold θP (set to 20% of the historical fluctuation range), a pressure anomaly event is generated. Further, θP is dynamically adjusted according to the pipeline material. For example, θP for steel pipelines is 15% lower than that for polyethylene pipelines.

[0097] Align the data time axes of different sensors through the dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm. Define the cost matrix D:

[0098] D(i,j) = |X i - Y j | + min(D(i - 1,j), D(i,j - 1), D(i - 1,j - 1))

[0099] where X i and Y j are the time series points of visible light and infrared data respectively. Preferably, a sliding window mechanism (window length 5 s) is used to achieve real-time alignment, and the calculation delay is less than 50 ms.

[0100] The gas concentration data collected by the laser spectroscopy analyzer is denoised by Kalman filtering and spatially matched with the infrared temperature anomaly area. Exemplarily, when the methane concentration and the corresponding area T norm > 2.0, it is determined as a gas leakage event.

[0101] The preprocessed multimodal data is transmitted to the intelligent analysis module through Gigabit Ethernet. The data packet format is defined as a quadruple:

[0102] DataPacket = <Image, T norm , ΔP, C gas >

[0103] where Image is the enhanced visible light / infrared fusion image, and C gas is the gas concentration vector.

[0104] Through multi-sensor synchronous acquisition and preprocessing, this embodiment can achieve low-latency and high-precision acquisition of the data of the pipe gallery environment.

[0105] For the intelligent analysis module, it is used to perform leakage detection and probability calculation on the multi-modal data obtained by the data acquisition module, and its core includes a dynamic heterogeneous neural network unit and a dynamic weight allocation unit.

[0106] Exemplarily, the first branch network adopts a lightweight MobileNetV4 architecture, inputs a visible light and infrared fusion image (size 256×256×3), and outputs a thermal map of the leakage area. Specifically, the network layer is configured as: 5 depthwise separable convolutional layers (kernel size 3×3), SE attention module (compression ratio 16), global average pooling layer, and Softmax classification layer. The inference latency of this branch on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier edge device is less than 30ms.

[0107] The second branch network is constructed based on the model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML) framework, and the input is a leakage data set generated by physical simulation. Preferably, the physical simulation data simulates the leakage diffusion process of different pipe materials (steel, polyethylene, PVC) through the finite element method, and generates multi-modal data including temperature field, pressure field, and fluid velocity field. The network structure is ResNet-34, and the initial parameters are updated through second-order gradient optimization during training:

[0108]

[0109] where α is the meta-learning rate (default 0.01), and L task is the task loss function.

[0110] The dynamic weight allocation unit calculates the branch weights according to the physical simulation result (S sim ), the infrared anomaly intensity (I IR ), and the pressure data (P pipr ):

[0111]

[0112] where φ(·) is a non-linear function optimized by meta-learning (implemented by a two-layer fully connected network), and ∈ is a small constant (1e-6) to prevent division by zero. Preferably, the infrared anomaly intensity value is obtained by calculating the standardized deviation of the temperature in the current detection area and the average temperature of the same location in history through statistical analysis. Preferably, when w1>0.7, the second branch network is activated for high-precision re-inspection.

[0113] The output feature map (size 16×16×512) of the first branch network and the feature map (size 16×16×512) of the second branch network are fused by dynamic weight weighting:

[0114] F fusion = w1·F branch1 +(1 - w1)·F bramch2

[0115] The fused feature map is output with a leakage probability value P after dimensionality reduction by a 1×1 convolutional layer leak ∈[0,1]. Further, when P leak > 0.85, a high-confidence leakage event is generated

[0116] Taking a steel pipe as an example, the physical simulation process includes:

[0117] 1. Establish a three-dimensional model of the pipe and set the material parameters (elastic modulus 200 GPa, Poisson's ratio 0.3);

[0118] 2. Simulate liquid leakage caused by a microcrack (size 0.1 mm) in COMSOL Multiphysics;

[0119] 3. Output simulation data including the temperature gradient field (ΔT = 5 - 15 °C) and the flow velocity field (0.1 - 1.2 m / s).

[0120] This data is used for few-shot training of the second branch network (only 50 groups of simulation data are required for each material type).

[0121] Exemplarily, three-dimensional leakage models of steel, polyethylene, and PVC pipes are established using finite element simulation software. First, set the crack size (in the range of 0.1 - 2.0 mm), fluid type (water / oil / gas), and pressure parameters (0.5 - 5.0 MPa). Calculate the diffusion path by solving the Navier-Stokes equation:

[0122]

[0123] where ρ is the fluid density, μ is the dynamic viscosity, v is the flow velocity field, and p is the pressure field. The output data includes the diffusion path coordinates (x t , y t , z t ) of the time series and the flow velocity v t , forming a spatio-temporal feature data set for training the second branch network

[0124] The thermal conductivity λ, specific heat capacity c p and surface emissivity ε of the pipe material are measured through experiments, and a quantitative relationship with the infrared radiation intensity is established:

[0125] E IR = εσT 4 +(1 - ε)E amb

[0126] where σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, T is the surface temperature, and E amb is the environmental radiation intensity. Preferably, the mapping relationships of steel (ε = 0.85) and polyethylene (ε = 0.92) are embedded in the simulation model to generate infrared temperature field data matching the material.

[0127] Multi-physics field coupling simulation process:

[0128] 1. Geometric modeling: Construct a three-dimensional model of a pipeline with cracks in COMSOL (example crack length 1.5 mm);

[0129] 2. Parameter assignment: Input the thermodynamic parameters of the material (steel: λ = 45.8 W / (m·K), c p = 465 J / (kg·K));

[0130] 3. Boundary condition setting: Define the fluid inlet pressure (example value 2.5 MPa) and the environmental temperature (25 °C);

[0131] 4. Equation solving: Simultaneously solve the fluid dynamics equation and the heat conduction equation

[0132] 5. Data output: Generate a simulation data set including the diffusion path point cloud, the temperature gradient field and the infrared radiation intensity E IR of.

[0133] The diffusion path data generated by physical simulation in this embodiment can accurately reflect the leakage mode differences of pipelines with different materials.

[0134] For the 3D modeling module, it is used to construct the neural radiation field model of the pipe gallery environment and achieve precise leakage point positioning. Its core includes a neural radiation field modeling unit and a leakage point positioning unit.

[0135] Exemplarily, multi-view visible light cameras and infrared thermal imagers are used to collect the image data of the pipe gallery environment and input it into the neural radiation field (NeRF) model for three-dimensional reconstruction. The model generates the RGB color and temperature distribution at any view through the volume rendering equation:

[0136]

[0137] where σ is the density function, c is the color function, T IR is the temperature measured by the infrared sensor, M 材质 is the thermodynamic parameter of the material (steel: 0.85, polyethylene: 0.92), and γ is the dynamic adjustment coefficient.

[0138] The dynamic adjustment coefficient γ is generated by a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) optimized by meta-learning, and the real-time pressure P of the pipeline is inputpipe With the ambient temperature T env :

[0139] γ = f MLP (P pipe , T env ; θ)

[0140] where θ is a network parameter obtained by pre-training with a physical simulation dataset. Preferably, when P pipe > 2.0 MPa and T env > 40 °C, the value of γ is reduced to 0.3 - 0.5 to suppress infrared noise interference.

[0141] Specifically, the calculation process of the dynamic adjustment coefficient includes:

[0142] Construct a non-linear function f based on a multi-layer perceptron, whose input layer receives the normalized parameters of the real-time pressure P pipe of the pipeline and the ambient temperature T env ;

[0143] Optimize and train the function f through a meta-learning framework, and the training dataset includes:

[0144] The thermal conductivity coefficient matrix of the pipeline material generated by physical simulation;

[0145] The temperature field distribution data under different pressure conditions;

[0146] The temperature-pressure correlation data of leakage events recorded in historical operation and maintenance;

[0147] In real-time calculation, preprocess the current pressure sensor reading and temperature sensor reading by standardization, and input the trained function f;

[0148] The output layer generates a dynamic adjustment coefficient through the Sigmoid activation function, which is used to weight and fuse real-time infrared data and material thermodynamics parameters.

[0149] The leakage point positioning unit receives the leakage area coordinates (x i , y i ) output by the intelligent analysis module, and tracks its movement trajectory by the optical flow method. Define the matching degree index:

[0150]

[0151] where F NeRF is the three-dimensional temperature field rendered by the NeRF model, and F IR is the measured temperature value of the infrared sensor. When D match < 0.15, it is determined as a valid leakage point, otherwise it is marked as a false detection.

[0152] Through neural radiance field modeling and dynamic temperature correction, this embodiment can achieve high-precision reconstruction of the three-dimensional temperature field of the utility tunnel.

[0153] For the spatio-temporal verification module, it is used to verify the physical consistency of the leakage detection results in the time and space dimensions. Its core includes a time dimension verification unit, a space dimension verification unit, and a consistency determination unit.

[0154] Exemplarily, for a visible light image, calculate the optical flow field based on the gray gradient, and use the Horn-Schunck algorithm to solve the velocity vector (u v , v v ):

[0155] I x u v + I y v v + I t = 0

[0156] where I x , I y is the spatial gradient, and I t is the temporal gradient. Calculate the temperature gradient optical flow field (u v , v v ) for the infrared thermal imaging data by minimizing the temperature change error:

[0157]

[0158] Generate the comprehensive movement trajectory of the leakage area by dynamically weighting and fusing the two optical flow fields:

[0159] u = αu v + (1 - α)u t , v = αv v + (1 - α)v t

[0160] where α = σ(P pipe / P max ), σ(·) is the Sigmoid function, and P max is the maximum pressure-bearing value of the pipeline.

[0161] Calculate the diffusion rate of the leakage area according to the optical flow field:

[0162]

[0163] Compare v leak with the diffusion rate threshold v th allowed by the pipeline material. Exemplarily, for a steel pipeline, v th = 0.2 m / s, and for a polyethylene pipeline, v th = 0.5 m / s. When v leak> 1.5V th is marked as abnormal when

[0164] Based on the thermal conductivity coefficient λ of the pipeline material and the real-time pressure P output by the neural radiance field model pipe , dynamically adjust the parameters of the diffusion equation:

[0165]

[0166] where the diffusion coefficient D = k1λ + k2P pipe , k1 = 0.03, k2 = 0.12 are empirical constants. Solve the equation to obtain the theoretical diffusion region A theory , and calculate the overlap degree with the detection region A detect :

[0167]

[0168] When IoU < 0.6, it is determined that the space is inconsistent.

[0169] If the time dimension verification is abnormal (v leak > 1.5V th ) and the overlap degree in the space dimension is insufficient (IoU < 0.6), trigger the consistency determination unit. Exemplarily, when there is a logical conflict between the two (such as high-speed diffusion but high space matching degree), use the Bayesian decision model:

[0170]

[0171] where H0 is the false alarm hypothesis. When P(false alarm) > 0.8, filter the detection result.

[0172] This embodiment can achieve cross-sensor verification of the leakage movement trajectory through multi-modal optical flow fusion and hydrodynamic constraints.

[0173] For the alarm prediction module, it is used to comprehensively evaluate the leakage risk and generate an early warning signal. Its core includes a Bayesian decision unit, a diffusion prediction unit, and a dynamic threshold optimization unit.

[0174] Specifically, the alarm prediction module includes:
