TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and particularly relates to a method for matching airspeed and flight height under the condition of fixed accuracy of radioactive measurement of an unmanned aerial vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicle airborne radioactive measurement technology is derived from manned airborne radioactive measurement, and the traditional manned airborne radioactive measurement method and technical requirements comply with the Airborne Gamma Ray Spectrometry Specification. In the process of airborne radioactive measurement, the detection accuracy directly affects the data quality of the airborne measurement and the effect of geological and mineral evaluation. In view of the safety of manned airborne radioactive measurement, the detection accuracy is mainly ensured by increasing the volume of the detector and reducing the height during the production flight, and the flight speed is fixed at the minimum safe speed. However, for unmanned aerial vehicle airborne radioactive measurement, there is no unified specification, and the Airborne Gamma Ray Spectrometry Specification is still used as a guide.

[0003] Compared with the traditional manned airborne radioactive measurement, the unmanned aerial vehicle airborne radioactive measurement has the advantages of flexibility and safety of personnel, but the detector is relatively small due to the limitation of the carried load. Therefore, the airborne measurement parameters set according to the traditional manned airborne radioactive measurement specification cannot guarantee the detection accuracy of the unmanned aerial vehicle airborne radioactive measurement. SUMMARY

[0028] S23: According to the receiving count rate n(l) of the detector and the measurement radius R corresponding to the detector, the count rate n(H) corresponding to the flight height of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the effective detection area of the detector crystal is calculated.

[0029] Preferably, in the step S21, the calculation formula of the receiving count rate n(l) of the detector is:

[0043] The following is combined with Figures 1-2 , further illustrating a specific embodiment of the method for matching the speed and altitude of a drone under a certain precision for radioactivity measurement of a drone of the present invention. The method for matching the speed and altitude of a drone under a certain precision for radioactivity measurement of a drone of the present invention is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

[0044] Example:

[0045] This embodiment provides a specific implementation method of the method for matching the speed and altitude of a drone under a certain precision condition for radioactivity measurement. Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0046] S1: Use UAV to detect geological bodies and determine the relationship between the UAV flight speed and the radioactivity measurement accuracy of geological bodies;

[0047] S2: Determine the counting rate based on the UAV’s flight altitude and the effective detection area of ​​the detector crystal;

[0048] S3: According to the relationship between the UAV flight speed and the radioactivity measurement accuracy of the geological body and the counting rate, the relationship between the UAV measurement flight altitude and the radioactivity measurement accuracy and the flight speed is determined, and based on the set UAV radioactivity measurement accuracy, the UAV measurement flight altitude and flight speed are matched.

[0049] Furthermore, step S1 includes the following sub-steps:

[0050] S11: Use the detector of the UAV to measure the geological body and calculate the total count N of the detector measurement and the relative standard error P of nuclear radiation in the geological body;

[0051] S12: Calculate the total count N under current conditions and the measurement time t(P) required to reach the relative standard error P based on the total count N measured by the detector and the relative standard error P of nuclear radiation in the geological body;

[0052] S13: Calculate the relationship between the UAV flight speed and the radioactivity measurement accuracy of the geological body based on the measurement time t(P) and the flight distance L required to reach the relative standard error P.

[0053] Furthermore, in step S11, the calculation formula for the total count N measured by the detector is:

[0054] N=nt,

[0055] wherein n represents the count rate of the radioactivity measurement, and t represents the measurement time;

[0056] In step S11, the formula for calculating the relative standard error P of the nuclear radiation in the geological body is:

[0057]

[0058] wherein σ represents the standard error of a single measurement;

[0059] In step S11, the formula for calculating the time t(P) required for the total count N under the current conditions to reach the relative standard error P is:

[0060]

[0061] In step S13, the formula for calculating the relationship v(P) between the flight speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the radioactivity measurement accuracy of the unmanned aerial vehicle is:

[0062]

[0063] wherein L represents the flight distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0064] Further, step S2 includes the following sub-steps:

[0065] S21: Calculate the received count rate n(l) of the detector;

[0066] S22: Set the opening angle of the receiving range of the detector, and determine the corresponding measurement radius R of the detector according to the opening angle of the receiving range of the detector;

[0067] S23: According to the received count rate n(l) of the detector and the corresponding measurement radius R of the detector, calculate the count rate n(H) corresponding to the flight height of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the effective detection area of the detector crystal.

[0068] Further, in step S21, the formula for calculating the received count rate n(l) of the detector is:

[0069] n(l) = n0e -λl η,

[0070] wherein n0 represents the count rate of the gamma rays emitted by the point source, λ represents the gamma ray linear attenuation coefficient of air, l represents the distance between the detector and the point source, and η represents the detection efficiency of the detector;

[0071] In step S23, the formula for calculating the count rate n(H) corresponding to the flight height of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the effective detection area of the detector crystal is:

[0072]

[0073] Among them, R represents the measurement radius corresponding to the detector, and H represents the flight altitude of the UAV.

[0074] Furthermore, in step S3, the calculation formula of the relationship between the UAV flight altitude and radioactivity measurement accuracy and flight speed v(H,P) is:

[0075]

[0077] By adopting the above technical solutions:

[0078] Radioactive decay follows a Poisson distribution, while the counts of a large number of radionuclide decay measurements approximately follow a normal distribution. In order to describe the accuracy of a nuclear radiation measurement, the relative standard error P is used to represent it. During the time between two consecutive measurements by the detector, the drone's flight distance (i.e., the center point distance) L is measured. The functional relationship between the drone's flight speed v and the radioactivity measurement accuracy P is: Since the drone has a certain flight altitude when measuring geological bodies, the detector crystal can only receive radiation generated by the decay of geological bodies within a certain range. According to the radioactive measurement attenuation formula, the counting rate received by the detector can be expressed as n(l) = n0e -λl η.

[0079] like Figure 2 As shown in FIG, according to the flying height of the detector, a certain opening angle θ is selected as the solid angle of the effective receiving range of the detector, thereby corresponding to the detection range with a measurement radius R on the ground.

[0080] Assuming that the center point distance L is 40m, n0 is 300Bq, the gamma ray linear attenuation coefficient λ of air is 0.006848 / m (@1.25MeVγ), R is 2m, and η is 0.001, the relationship between the UAV measurement flight altitude and measurement accuracy and flight speed is shown in Table 1.

While ensuring the measurement requirement, the working time is reduced and the efficiency is improved. Meanwhile, the parameter comparison skeleton table is given, and in specific working conditions, the difference calculation can be performed to simplify the calculation process.
