Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sensor technology, and in particular to an adaptive acoustic-optical fusion detection sensor and an operation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In existing technologies, acoustic and optical sensors are widely used in various detection tasks. However, single acoustic or optical sensors often have limitations in complex environments. For example, acoustic sensors are easily interfered with by environmental noise, and optical sensors have limited performance in low-light or complex background conditions. Although existing technologies have attempted to simply combine acoustic and optical sensors, these combinations generally lack adaptive capabilities and are unable to dynamically adjust detection strategies based on environmental changes, resulting in low detection accuracy and efficiency. In addition, no existing sensor can simultaneously achieve deep fusion of multimodal data, dynamic adjustment driven by environmental perception, and intelligent decision-making capabilities.
[0003] Based on this, an adaptive acoustic-optical fusion detection sensor and its operation method are designed. Summary of the Invention
