[0052] Embodiment 7: This embodiment provides an ice detection radar device based on peak detection, and the ice detection radar device based on peak detection includes the ice detection signal acquisition unit provided in Embodiment 1.

[0053] Embodiment 8: This embodiment provides an ice thickness measurement method based on peak detection. The method is implemented based on the ice measurement radar device based on peak detection provided in Embodiment 7. The method includes:

[0054] Steps for collecting preset algorithms and algorithm parameters;

[0055] The step of preprocessing the collected high-frequency electromagnetic wave echo signal according to the preset algorithm;

[0056] A step of performing peak detection on the pre-processed high-frequency electromagnetic wave echo signal;

[0057] A step of obtaining a layer detection result of the preprocessed high-frequency electromagnetic wave echo signal according to the result of the peak detection;

[0058] The step of obtaining the thickness of the ice layer according to the result of the layer detection.

[0059] Specifically, the methods include:

[0060] Step 1: Algorithm parameter setting

[0061] Configure parameters related to data files, such as storage path, header byte length, etc.

[0062] Set the filter parameters, including the FIR filter order, filter type, and cutoff frequency.

[0063] Set the initial layer position and roughly set the radar wave layer positions for the upper and lower layers of the ice surface.

[0064] Set the number of A-Scan data channels collected at each measuring point, generally 2 to the power of N.

[0065] Step 2: Data preprocessing

[0066] The data format processed by the algorithm is multi-channel A-Scan data with time as the horizontal axis, and each channel of A-Scan data contains 1024 sampling points.

[0067] The sampled data is filtered using a bandpass FIR filter to remove high-frequency and low-frequency noise.

[0068] Step 3: Ice surface peak detection

[0069] Peak detection is used on each A-scan data channel to search near the initially set upper layer of the ice surface. The extreme value is recorded as the upper layer reference signal. The ice surface position detected by multiple data channels is averaged to obtain the ice layer position. This signal is also recorded as the ice surface position reference signal.

[0070] Step 4: Ice bottom peak detection algorithm

[0071] The background of multiple A-Scan data is removed, and then each A-Scan data is processed and back-differentiated to obtain a differential sequence.

[0072] The difference function is binarized to obtain a binarized sequence.

[0073] Perform the difference operation on the binarized sequence again to obtain the peak sequence.

[0074] Traverse each positive and negative peak, take the initially set reference point of the bottom of the ice layer as the starting point, and search for the maximum value on both sides to determine the peak position of the bottom of the ice layer.

[0075] The ice bottom position detected by multiple channels of data is averaged and recorded as the ice bottom position. This signal is then used as the ice bottom position reference signal.

[0076] In single-point acquisition mode, proceed directly to step 7. In continuous acquisition mode, steps 5 and 6 are also required:

[0077] Step 5: Related calculations

[0078] Use the FFT algorithm to perform correlation calculations between the reference signal and the acquired signal to quickly determine the layer position.

[0079] Fine positioning correction is performed through peak detection to reduce positioning errors.

[0080] Step 6: Exception handling

[0081] Handle situations such as tracking loss and abnormal jumps, including expanding the search range to re-detect, using the previous detection data and skipping detection, etc., to enhance the robustness of the algorithm.

[0082] Step 7: Calculate ice thickness

[0083] The ice thickness is calculated by combining the average ice surface and ice bottom layers calculated from the multi-channel A-Scan data obtained in steps 3 and 4, and combining the sampling rate and the electromagnetic parameters of the ice.

[0084] Implementation method 9: This implementation method provides a computer storage medium for storing a computer program. When the computer program is read by a computer, the computer executes the method provided in implementation method 7.

[0085] Implementation 10: This implementation provides a computer, including a processor and a storage medium. When the processor reads the computer program stored in the storage medium, the computer executes the method provided in Implementation 7.

[0086] Implementation Method 11: Combination Figure 1-4 This embodiment further describes the above technical solution in detail and completely through specific examples, specifically:

[0087] Ground penetrating radar is different from traditional radar. It is a detection instrument for detecting the distribution of underground media. It has the characteristics of high efficiency and non-destructiveness. Its working principle is as follows Figure 1 Utilizing electromagnetic principles, the radar transmits high-frequency electromagnetic waves underground, receives reflected echoes, and determines the distribution of underground objects based on the echo characteristics. The received echoes are stored as data in a host computer, where various data processing operations can be performed and then displayed using data visualization methods.

[0088] Echo curve Figure 2As shown in Figure 2, when electromagnetic waves propagate underground, the distribution and composition of the underground medium will cause the echo to change. Therefore, the underground medium can be interpreted based on the characteristics of the echo, such as time delay and amplitude.

[0089] The handheld ice detection radar equipment system based on peak detection consists of a pulse receiving / transmitting unit, a signal acquisition unit (i.e., ice detection signal acquisition unit), and display and control peripherals. The signal acquisition unit is the core part of the system, and its main functions are: the signal acquisition unit receives information sent by peripherals such as buttons, and sets the equipment, including setting parameters and control commands, such as sampling frequency, number of sampling points, dielectric constant, detection mode, average channel number and other acquisition parameters, while completing the timing control of the entire system, radar signal conditioning, acquisition, data buffering, preprocessing and other transmission and control functions, and can transmit data to the cloud server in an orderly manner through the WIFI module, playing a role in controlling the operation of the entire radar system. Figure 3 shown.

[0090] The ice detection radar device based on peak detection is powered by 12V voltage. The working process of the whole device is as follows: the device is powered on by long pressing the switch button. After power on, the signal acquisition unit communicates with the display screen through the display control part. The operator sends parameters and working instructions to the ice detection radar device based on peak detection by pressing buttons, etc. The FPGA receives the instructions, controls the DDS chip to generate the transceiver control signal and controls the AD chip to collect data. The collected data is sent to the internal cache of the FPGA, equivalent sampling splicing, filtering and other processing, and then displayed on the screen through the display control module. At the same time, the data can be sent to the cloud platform for storage, processing and display through the WIFI module. Figure 3 shown.

[0091] The ice thickness measurement algorithm mainly relies on peak detection and correlation detection, which can realize real-time tracking of ice thickness.

[0092] When setting the algorithm parameters, you need to configure parameters related to the data file, the filter, and the initial layer position. Data file parameters include the read path and header byte length. Correctly setting these parameters ensures accurate reading of A-Scan data. Filter parameters involve the FIR filter order, filter type, and cutoff frequency. These parameters are used to calculate the FIR filter response. The initial layer position is set for the radar wave layer in the first data entry for the direct wave, upper ice layer, and lower ice layer. Excessive precision is not required, as these are automatically corrected later.

[0093] To reduce the sudden interference errors associated with collecting only one channel of data, the algorithm processes data in the form of multiple A-Scans with time as the horizontal axis. Each A-Scan contains 1024 sampling points. The number of A-Scan channels collected can be set on the device, typically in powers of 2, with a default of 32. Because the data is raw, preliminary processing is required. The algorithm uses a bandpass FIR filter to filter the sampled data to remove high- and low-frequency noise, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0094] During the first detection, since there is no reference signal and a fixed layer, it is necessary to use peak detection to search near the initially set layer and take the extreme value as the layer reference position. After positioning, the signal is intercepted as the reference signal. The peak detection calculation steps are as follows:

[0095] First, perform backward difference according to the following formula: f(k) is the original sampling sequence, and g(k) is the difference sequence.

[0096]

[0097] When detecting the peak, the difference function can be simply binarized. m(k) is the binarized sequence.

[0098]

[0099] Then, we differentiate m(k) again to get the peak sequence n(k). The value of 1 indicates a positive peak, and the value of -1 indicates a negative peak.

[0100]

[0101] Traverse each positive and negative peak and find the maximum value.

[0102] Starting from the second detection, the reference signal and the acquired signal are correlated using the FFT algorithm to quickly determine the layer position. Based on this, fine positioning correction is performed through peak detection to reduce positioning errors. Based on the current positioning position, the intercepted signal is used as the newly generated reference signal, mixed with the original signal at a weight of 1:9, and the reference signal is updated for subsequent detection. The relevant calculation steps are as follows:

[0103] According to the parity and even imaginary and real properties, we can know that for real sequence x(n):

[0104] DFT(x(n))=X(k)DFT(x(-n))=X * (k);

[0105] FFT can be considered as linear convolution if the following equation is satisfied: where N1 is the original length of the x(i) sequence, N2 is the original length of the y(i) sequence, and N is the length of the x(i) and y(i) sequences after zero padding.

[0106] N1+N2-1≤N;

[0107] Therefore, the correlation calculation can be written as follows. Where x(i) is the sequence to be detected, y(i) is the reference signal sequence, r xy (k) is the sequence of correlation functions.

[0108]

[0109] From the above formula, we can know that we can calculate the FFT transforms X(k) and Y(k) of x(n) and y(n) respectively, take the conjugate of Y(k), and then multiply them to get the inverse transform.

[0110] The exception handling section is used to handle situations such as tracking loss and abnormal jumps. Methods for handling this problem include expanding the search range and retesting, using the last detection data and skipping detection, etc. Exception handling can enhance the robustness of the algorithm.

[0111] Ultimately, by integrating the layer calculated from each A-Scan data, combined with the sampling rate and the electromagnetic parameters of the ice, the ice thickness can be calculated, achieving the goal of the automatic ice thickness identification algorithm.

[0112] This embodiment also provides a method for calculating the ice sheet bearing capacity, including:

[0113] P=Ah 2 ;

[0114] Where P is the allowable bearing capacity, in t; h is the effective thickness of ice, in m; A is a coefficient determined by the ice strength, crack coefficient, and temperature influence coefficient. The specific formula is as follows:

[0115]

[0116] Where N represents the strength and crack coefficient. The default value is N = 1 for cracks and N = 1.143 for no cracks. K represents the temperature influence coefficient, and e is the absolute value of the average temperature over the past three days. K only works when the average temperature is below zero. For zero and above, K = 1.

[0117] The above bearing capacity calculation formula is for intact, well-frozen ice sheets and is not applicable to accumulated ice sheets or ice sheets with cracks. Furthermore, the ice sheet thickness for a single person walking on it should be at least 10 cm, for a snowmobile at least 18 cm, and for a 4x4 vehicle at least 38 cm.

[0118] In January 2024, the equipment was tested on the surface of the Songhua River in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, and a set of data was collected. The average temperature for the first three days was -18°C. A hole drilling verification was performed. The drilling results were consistent with those measured by a handheld peak detection-based ice detection radar device, with an absolute measurement error of less than 0.5cm. As shown in the following table:
