[0025] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Drawing the design drawings with the "century-old plane trees" in Nanjing as the main street tree species, including the following steps:

[0028] S1. Use unmanned aerial vehicles and ground measurement technologies to collect the basic data and environmental parameters of the "plane trees" on the streets in Nanjing.

[0029] The basic data includes the distribution and quantity of street tree species. There are about 90,000 plane trees on both sides of the main roads in Nanjing; the tree specifications, the average tree height of adult plane trees is 25m, the diameter at breast height is 0.5m, the crown width is 15m, and the height of the branches below is 5m; the growth status of the trees, the plane trees grow healthily, without obvious aging and diseases and pests, and the growth trend is good; the current situation of the road green belt, the width of the street tree green belt is 3m, and the configuration mode is permeable, mainly with plane trees.

[0030] The environmental parameters include climatic conditions. The average temperature in early autumn is between 20-27°C, the precipitation is 50-100mm, the air humidity is 60-80%, and the dominant wind direction is northeast wind or northerly wind; soil conditions, the soil type is yellow-brown soil, the pH value is 6.5, the humidity is moderate, and the nutrient status is good; hydrological conditions, the groundwater level is 1.5 meters; vegetation conditions, the area where the plane trees are located is an urban green belt, the vegetation coverage is 80%, and the biodiversity index is medium; topographic and geomorphic conditions, the growth area of the plane trees is a plain, and the slope is gentle.

[0031] Unify the format of the collected data. For example, convert the image data into a matrix form that can be processed by the model, and perform standardization or normalization processing on the parameter data to eliminate the dimension difference, which is convenient for model calculation and learning.

[0032] S2. Input the design parameters.

[0033] Such as Figure 3As shown, input the design parameters according to the realistic style requirements, including tree parameters, road parameters, and seasonal landscape parameters.

[0034] The tree parameters include determining the tree species as "Platanus acerifolia (Ait.) Willd."; the tree specifications, with a tree height of 25m, a diameter at breast height of 0.5m, a crown width of 15m, and a height of the lowest branch of 5m; the tree shape and crown form, with the crown being bell-shaped, having good fullness, and looking majestic; the growth rate of the tree, medium; the adaptability of the tree to environmental conditions, with medium cold tolerance, good heat tolerance, medium drought tolerance, and strong pollution resistance; the planting spacing between street trees, 8 meters.

[0035] The road parameters include the road type being the arterial road; the road pattern being the three-board and four-belt type.

[0036] The seasonal landscape parameters are set as early autumn.

[0037] S3. Artificial intelligence design.

[0038] Initialize the parameters of the generator and discriminator based on the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) architecture, select an appropriate network depth and width to ensure that the model has sufficient expressive power and learning ability, simulate the realistic style of Platanus acerifolia in early autumn, and automatically generate the design drawings of street trees, including the two-dimensional plan view and three-dimensional rendering of Platanus acerifolia.

[0039] Training process:

[0040] (1) Generator training: Use random noise and partial real sample data as inputs to generate preliminary design drawings, and adjust the parameters of the generator through the backpropagation algorithm to minimize the difference between the generated drawings and the real drawings. Adopt the generative loss function in the generative adversarial network, such as the least squares loss function, etc., to guide the generator to generate more realistic design drawings.

[0041] (2) Discriminator training: Input the drawings generated by the generator and the real design drawings into the discriminator together, train the discriminator to accurately distinguish between the two, and improve its discrimination ability by optimizing the loss function of the discriminator, such as the binary cross-entropy loss function, to provide more accurate feedback for the generator and promote the generator to continuously improve the output results.

[0042] (3) Alternating training: Cycle through the training of the generator and the discriminator to maintain the dynamic balance between the two, avoid premature convergence of one network or over-suppression of the other network, and gradually improve the quality and realism of the generated drawings.

[0043] (4) Use multi-dimensional evaluation metrics to comprehensively measure the performance of the model, including the visual quality of the generated drawings (such as clarity, color accuracy, etc.), the compliance with the actual design requirements (such as the accuracy of tree specifications, road parameters, etc.), and the stability of the model (such as the consistency and repeatability of the generated results).

[0044] (5) Optimize the model structure or training parameters according to the evaluation results. For example, if the generated drawings perform poorly in some details, the parameters of the corresponding feature extraction layer in the generator can be adjusted or specific loss function terms can be added to strengthen the model's attention and learning of these details; if the model has overfitting or underfitting phenomena, optimization can be carried out by adjusting the number of network layers, the number of neurons, regularization parameters, etc., to improve the generalization ability and adaptability of the model.
