Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of soil moisture movement technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment, medium and product for soil preferential flow analysis. Background Technology

[0002] Preferential flow is a term used to describe non-equilibrium flow in soil, referring to the phenomenon where water or solutes rapidly migrate through the soil matrix along specific pathways (such as pores, fissures, wormholes, plant roots, etc.) to deeper soil layers or groundwater. This process differs from matrix flow in soil, does not follow Darcy's law, and symbolizes the transition in soil moisture movement research from the homogeneous to the heterogeneous domain.

[0003] To perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of preferential flow in soil, most related techniques use dyes to stain the soil, thereby revealing water movement within it. However, these dyes have several drawbacks: they only show color in shallow soil layers, lagging behind the seepage range of water molecules; or the chromogenic ions in the dyes are easily affected by microorganisms and oxidized to a color not significantly different from the soil, resulting in poor staining effects and thus failing to accurately represent water movement in the soil. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The recognition module is used to recognize the grayscale value of each pixel in the optimized image;

[0025] The priority flow analysis module is used to analyze the priority flow of soil in the target soil area based on the grayscale values.

[0026] According to another aspect of this disclosure, a computer device is provided, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory, the processor executing the computer program to implement the method of one aspect above.

[0030] The above and other objects, features, and advantages of this disclosure will become more apparent from the more detailed description of the embodiments thereof in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The drawings are provided to further illustrate the embodiments of this disclosure and form part of the specification. They are used together with the embodiments of this disclosure to explain the disclosure and do not constitute a limitation thereof. In the drawings, the same reference numerals generally represent the same components or steps.

[0034] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a soil preferential flow analysis device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0035] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of a computer device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0036] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a computer program product according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Detailed Implementation

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure more apparent, exemplary embodiments according to this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments of this disclosure. It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein.

[0038] Preferential flow, also known as dominant flow, is a term used to describe non-equilibrium flow in soil. It refers to the phenomenon where water or solutes rapidly migrate through the soil matrix along specific pathways (such as pores, fissures, wormholes, plant roots, etc.) to deeper soil layers or groundwater levels. This process differs from matrix flow in soil and does not follow Darcy's law, symbolizing the transition in soil moisture movement research from homogeneous to heterogeneous domains.

[0039] Although preferential flow is a common form of soil moisture movement, it is difficult to detect under normal conditions. To conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis of preferential flow in soil, modern technologies are needed. Among these, staining tracer methods are a fundamental and commonly used method for studying preferential flow because they can visually demonstrate the movement of stained water molecules. Currently used staining agents include brilliant blue and ionic stains. Brilliant blue is a relatively large small-molecule organic compound; therefore, when used in soils with high clay content, brilliant blue molecules are adsorbed to some extent, resulting in color showing only in the shallow soil layer. This color range lags behind the seepage range of water molecules, which does not match the actual seepage movement. Another type of ionic staining agent generally produces a colorless solution after dissolving in water, requiring the addition of another reagent and a colorimetric reaction to develop color. For example, iodine-starch tracers, because the anions that mainly play a role in the colorimetric reaction are affected by microbial activity, are easily oxidized to a color not much different from the soil, resulting in poor staining effects. Both of these staining agents have a certain lag and inadequacy relative to the movement of water molecules in general soil, making it difficult to effectively characterize preferential flow at wetting fronts.

[0040] The above description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a method, apparatus, device, medium, and product for analyzing soil preferential flow according to embodiments of the present disclosure. The method involves staining a target soil area with a fluorescent dye solution. The fluorescent dye molecules move at similar speeds to water molecules in the soil, preventing separation of water and dye. The method is harmless to the soil, produces vibrant colors, has strong coloring power, requires minimal dosage, exhibits stable performance, and is inexpensive. Such stained profile images can reveal the typical spatial distribution characteristics of macropore flow development.

[0041] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a detailed description of the soil priority flow analysis method disclosed in this disclosure is provided first. The execution entity of the soil priority flow analysis method provided in this disclosure is generally a computer device with certain computing capabilities. This computer device may include, for example, a terminal device, a server, or other processing devices. The terminal device may be a user equipment (UE), mobile device, user terminal, terminal, cellular phone, cordless phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), handheld device, computing device, vehicle-mounted device, wearable device, etc. In some possible implementations, the soil priority flow analysis method can be implemented by a processor calling computer-readable instructions stored in memory.

[0042] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a flowchart of a soil preferential flow analysis method provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the method comprising S101-S104:

[0043] S101: Obtain a stained profile image of the target soil area;

[0044] The target soil area was stained with a fluorescent dye solution. Specifically, the fluorescent dye could be fluorescent yellow-green (Fluorescein Isothiocyanate, FITC), with the molecular formula C0. 20 H 12 O5.

[0045] S102: Perform color correction and binarization on the stained profile image to obtain an optimized image;

[0046] S103: Identify and optimize the grayscale value of each pixel in the image;

[0047] S104: Based on grayscale values, analyze the soil preferential flow in the target soil area.

[0048] Because FITC is highly soluble in water and stable in soil, it does not have an adverse effect on the soil ecosystem. FITC's molecular weight can achieve the same permeation pathway as water molecules, and the amount adsorbed by the soil is small. Therefore, it can effectively reveal the typical spatial distribution characteristics of macropore flow development. Thus, the use of fluorescent yellow-green can effectively solve the limitations of other types of dyes in use.

[0049] In one or more embodiments, the stained profile image includes a vertical profile image and a horizontal profile image; wherein the vertical profile image is obtained by irradiating the vertical profile of the target soil area with ultraviolet light, and the horizontal profile image is obtained by irradiating the horizontal profile of the target soil area with ultraviolet light.

[0050] When a fluorescent dye is exposed to ultraviolet light, specific chemical groups in its molecule (such as the isothiocyanate group in FITC) absorb the ultraviolet light, thus reaching a higher energy excited state. In the excited state, the electrons of the molecule are unstable, and the molecule quickly returns to the lower energy ground state. During this process, the molecule releases additional energy in the form of light, which is typically the wavelength of visible light, thus allowing fluorescence emission to be observed. For example, FITC typically emits light in the green range, and the intensity of the fluorescence depends on the intensity of the absorbed light and the fluorescence quantum yield of the molecule. The fluorescence quantum yield is a parameter describing the efficiency of the transition between the excited and ground states; different compounds have different fluorescence quantum yields.

[0051] In one or more embodiments, the target soil area includes an outer ring pit and an inner ring pit.

[0052] The double ring structure, consisting of an outer ring pit and an inner ring pit, prevents the fluorescent dye solution from seeping out of the ring.

[0053] In one or more embodiments, the concentration of the fluorescent dye solution is 1 to 10 g / L, and the fluorescent dye solution is used to simulate artificial rainfall in the inner ring pit; the outer ring pit is filled with water at the same level as the liquid level in the inner ring pit.

[0054] In one or more embodiments, a horizontal scale and a vertical scale are also included;

[0055] Vertical cross-sectional images are taken using a horizontal scale, and horizontal cross-sectional images are taken using a vertical scale.

[0056] In one or more embodiments, S103 identifies the grayscale value of each pixel in the optimized image, including:

[0057] Adjust the optimized image to a length of 1000 pixels; identify the grayscale value of each pixel in the image;

[0058] In this image, the grayscale value of pixels in the stained area is 0, and the grayscale value of pixels in the unstained area is the maximum grayscale value, which is 255.

[0059] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment also provides an application example, such as... Figure 2 The flowchart shown is for this application example, including S201-S206:

[0060] S201: In the test area, after removing weeds from the soil surface and covering it with 30cm of soil, the double-ring infiltration method is used to excavate an outer ring pit and an inner ring pit.

[0061] The outer ring pit is a 2.2m × 1.1m test pit, and the inner ring pit is a 1m × 1m test pit. The earthen embankment between the outer and inner ring pits is 10cm wide and 10cm high. Figure 3 The diagram shown is a cross-sectional excavation diagram of the test area. The shaded area is actually green, which is the fluorescent color emitted by the FITC solution.

[0062] S202: Prepare FITC solutions with a concentration gradient of 1-10 g / L. Simulate artificial rainfall with a FITC solution gradient of 20-50 mm in the inner ring pit. Add tap water with the same liquid level as the inner ring pit to the outer ring pit to form a double ring and prevent FITC solution from seeping outwards from the ring.

[0063] S203: After the FITC solution has completely penetrated the test area, cover the test area with plastic sheeting. After 18-36 hours, excavate the vertical and horizontal profiles and irradiate the profiles with ultraviolet lamps.

[0064] S204: Use two measuring tapes as horizontal and vertical scales respectively, and use a high-definition camera to take colored profile images of each vertical and horizontal section. Finally, fill in the outer and inner ring pits of the test area.

[0065] S205: Perform geometric correction on the stained section image based on the horizontal and vertical scales, crop it to the actual stained section size, and then optimize and binarize the image.

[0066] The actual stained section is typically 1m long and 40-60cm deep. Image optimization includes color correction, adjustment of parameters such as brightness, contrast, and saturation to enhance the color contrast between the stained and unstained areas.

[0067] S206: Export the binarized image as a file with a length of 1000 pixels and identify the grayscale value of each pixel.

[0068] The arrangement of these grayscale values ​​is the same as the coloring of the cross-section, with the grayscale value of the colored area being 0 and the grayscale value of the uncolored area being 255, thus completing the extraction of the colored image information. The grayscale value of each pixel can be identified using the Bitmap Analysis function of Image-ProPlus software.

[0069] The application principle of this embodiment is as follows: the luminescence principle of FITC is related to the electronic structure and energy levels of the molecule. Typically, fluorescence generation involves electronic transitions between excited and ground states. 20 H 12When O5 is irradiated with excitation light (usually ultraviolet light), electrons in its molecule transition from the ground state to a higher excited state. In the excited state, the electron resides in a high-energy orbital. This excited state is relatively unstable. Within a short time, the electron in the excited state may return to a lower excited state through an internal transition, that is, the electron returns from a high-energy orbital to a lower-energy orbital. This step is usually not accompanied by photon radiation and therefore does not result in luminescence. However, in some cases, the electron may return from the excited state to the ground state accompanied by photon radiation, resulting in visible light fluorescence emission. This is because the energy difference when the electron transitions to the ground state corresponds to the wavelength of visible light, causing photons to be emitted. Fluorescent dye C 20 H 12 The molecular structure and chemical composition of O5 determine its light absorption and emission properties. This fluorescence phenomenon has led to the widespread application of fluorescent dyes in labeling and tracking applications, contributing to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of soil moisture movement and the development of preferential flow.

[0070] Experiments have shown that fluorescent pigment molecules and water molecules move at similar speeds, and fluorescent pigments can better characterize the migration of water molecules in soil.

[0071] Specifically, regarding the concentration of the FITC solution in step 2, this embodiment conducted experiments with concentrations of 1 g / L, 3 g / L, 6 g / L, and 9 g / L. It was found that under the condition of an injection volume of 30 L, the difference in the brightness of the fluorescent dye under ultraviolet light irradiation was not significant, and all concentrations could trace the movement of water molecules in the soil. Since 1 g / L is the minimum concentration at which the fluorescent dye has a normal luminescent effect, and considering cost and resource conservation, 1 g / L can be considered the optimal concentration choice.

[0072] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this disclosure, a soil preferential flow analysis device is provided, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the device includes:

[0076] The priority flow analysis module 404 is used to analyze the priority flow of soil in the target soil area based on the gray value.

[0077] The soil preferential flow analysis device is also used for: the stained profile image includes a vertical profile image and a horizontal profile image; the vertical profile image is obtained by irradiating the vertical profile of the target soil area with ultraviolet light, and the horizontal profile image is obtained by irradiating the horizontal profile of the target soil area with ultraviolet light.
