[0002] China's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, endowed with unique natural geography and hydrothermal effects, boasts extensive permafrost, making it the world's highest and largest permafrost region at mid- and low-latitudes. The extensive distribution of permafrost on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is sensitive to the formation, development, and changes of climate locally, in eastern China, and throughout East Asia, earning it the nickname "warning zone" or "initiator zone" for climate change.

[0049] Example 2
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses a method for detecting the spatial distribution of underground ice in the permafrost region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, comprising:
[0051] Calibration of the detector parameters specifically includes:
[0052] Adjust the impedance bridge with an accuracy of 1% in the range of 10.3-10.12, adjust the correction regulator so that the detector can maintain self-equilibrium in the permafrost underground ice environment for at least 0.5 hours, and start the test.
[0053] S1, using a detector to obtain the electrical resistance information of underground ice in permafrost areas;
[0054] Place the detector horizontally and check that the galvanometer pointer is pointing toward the centerline. If not, adjust the zero adjuster to bring the pointer toward the centerline. Set the magnification scale to the maximum setting and slowly turn the generator handle while simultaneously rotating the measuring dial to bring the galvanometer pointer toward the centerline. When the galvanometer pointer is near equilibrium (the pointer is close to the centerline), increase the handle speed to reach a speed of at least 120 rpm and adjust the measuring dial to bring the pointer toward the centerline. If the reading on the measuring dial is too low (less than 1) and difficult to read accurately, the magnification scale is too high. In this case, set the magnification scale to a lower setting and readjust the measuring dial to bring the pointer toward the centerline for an accurate reading. Within the pre-set start and end times of the detection task, calculate the measurement result: resistance information Rground = magnification scale reading × measuring dial reading.
[0055] In this embodiment, the upper soil layer of the permafrost region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is hard and contains ice crystals, i.e., underground ice. The lower soil layer is soft and has melted ice crystals. Deeper soil is sandy. As soil depth increases, the ice crystals decrease and the soil texture begins to soften. Therefore, the internal resistance information of the permafrost region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau also gradually changes with depth. During field measurements, in the morning, the ambient temperature is low, the sunlight intensity is weak, the surface temperature is low, and the soil surface is still frozen. At this time, the temperature increases with increasing soil depth. The temperature is higher at deeper soil depths. The situation is different in the afternoon. Due to strong sunlight, the ambient temperature rises, the surface soil temperature also rises, and the surface permafrost begins to melt.
[0056] S2, obtaining spatial distribution information of underground ice in the permafrost region based on the resistance information; generating a detection image based on the spatial distribution information of underground ice in the permafrost region;
[0057] Based on the historical data of the topography and landforms in the permafrost areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the permafrost area topography and landform data in the historical data are fitted with a non-uniform rational B-spline model to generate a stratigraphic curve. During the fitting, an inverse algorithm is used to obtain the control vertices to fit the curve surface, and the weight coefficient of each vertex on the surface is limited to 1.
[0058] Extract the upper and lower surface vertex sets of the permafrost region from the stratigraphic curve. Determine a vertex in each of the upper and lower surface vertex sets as the starting point. Adjust the order of the vertices in each vertex set to ensure that the vertices in both sets are arranged in the same direction. Select two vertices from either vertex set, then select another vertex from the other vertex set. Connect the three selected vertices to construct a 3D model of the permafrost region.
[0059] The resistance information of underground ice in the permafrost area obtained in S1 is marked on the three-dimensional model of the permafrost area to obtain the spatial distribution information of underground ice in the permafrost area.
[0060] The process of generating a detection image based on the spatial distribution information of underground ice in the permafrost region specifically includes:
[0061] S301, constructing a real image database based on the obtained spatial distribution information of underground ice in the permafrost region in the three-dimensional model of the permafrost region, where the real image database includes multiple real images;
[0062] S302: Perform smoothing filtering on all real images in the real image database to generate a detection image.
[0063] S3, using radar to obtain an underground distribution image of the permafrost area;
[0064] In this embodiment, a ground-penetrating radar is used to obtain a distribution image of underground ice in the permafrost area. The ground-penetrating radar collects data from the underground of the permafrost area and transmits the data to the receiving antenna of the hub, which converts the data into a digital signal. A pulse sequence is generated based on the control command signal of the ground-penetrating radar, and a transmission signal is generated under the triggering of the pulse sequence and sent through the transmitting antenna. The receiving antenna receives the transmission signal, samples the received signal, and then converts the sampled signal into a low-speed, low-voltage pulse signal. The A / D converter in the ground-penetrating radar packages the obtained data, and then converts the packaged data into an electrical pulse signal, modulates the electrical pulse signal, and sends the electrical pulse signal through the receiving antenna. The processing module receives the signal and displays the underground data of the permafrost area. The operator judges the distribution of objects underground in the permafrost area based on the waveform and its color, and obtains an underground distribution image of the permafrost area.
[0065] S4, generating a spatial distribution report of underground ice in the permafrost area based on the detection image and the underground distribution image;
[0066] The control module matches the detection image obtained by S2 and the underground distribution image of the permafrost area obtained by S3 in the constructed three-dimensional model of the permafrost area, and matches the resistance values of the underground soil, underground ice, and sand in the permafrost area obtained by the resistance detector to the distribution image to obtain a spatial distribution image.
[0067] The detection radar module collects road surface environment information in the permafrost zone of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the control module records the road surface environment information in the permafrost zone of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau collected by the detection radar module, and the positioning module is used to collect the real-time position of the detection system. Furthermore, based on the road surface environment information, the real-time position and the spatial distribution image, a spatial distribution report of underground ice in the permafrost zone is generated.
[0068] S5, establishing a data set based on the spatial distribution report, dividing the data set into a training set and a test set, and constructing a permafrost area underground distribution detection model using a deep learning method;
[0069] A dataset was established based on the spatial distribution report, with 80% of the dataset used as a training set and the remaining 20% as a test set;
[0070] The convolutional neural sub-model consists of ten layers: five convolutional layers, three pooling layers, one dropout layer, and three softmax output layers. The first, second, and third convolutional layers have kernel sizes of 5×5, 5×5, and 6×6, respectively, corresponding to 16, 32, and 64 kernels. The first three convolutional layers are each followed by a pooling layer using max pooling with a pooling size of 2 and a stride of 2. The fourth convolutional layer has 128 kernels of 5×5 size, followed by a dropout layer. The fifth convolutional layer has five kernels of 3×3 size, outputting five neurons, and finally a softmax layer to generate the classification probabilities. Reinforced Luminance (ReLU) activation function is used, with a stride of 1 and no edge augmentation. To reduce network parameters, no fully connected layers are used, and a dropout operation is added after the penultimate convolutional layer.
[0071] The stacked autoencoder sub-model includes a dimensionality reduction unit and a feature extraction unit. The dimensionality reduction unit uses principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce the dimensionality of the input sample image. PCA is a mathematical transformation and dimensionality reduction method that uses a set of feature vectors with fewer dimensions to maximize the information in the original data. In this embodiment, the input sample image is reduced in dimensionality using PCA, the resulting two-dimensional reduced matrix is stretched into a one-dimensional vector, and then the feature extraction unit uses an autoencoder to extract features from the reduced dimensionality sample image.
[0072] Furthermore, the splicing unit uses the Concat method to fuse the feature vector output by the convolutional neural sub-model with the feature vector of the stacked autoencoder sub-model to obtain the underground distribution detection model of the permafrost area.
[0073] S6, training and testing the permafrost area underground distribution detection model based on the training set and the test set;
[0074] The classification optimization unit includes a softmax classifier and an Adam optimizer. The softmax classifier calculates the cross-entropy loss based on the fusion results. The Adam optimizer trains the permafrost area underground distribution detection model based on the cross-entropy loss, obtains model parameters, and then loads and constructs the permafrost area underground distribution detection model based on the model parameters. The permafrost area underground distribution detection model is trained using the training dataset. After the training is completed, the permafrost area underground distribution detection model is tested.
[0075] S7, inputting the spatial distribution report of underground ice in the permafrost area into the trained and tested underground distribution detection model of the permafrost area to obtain the spatial distribution detection result of underground ice in the permafrost area of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
[0076] The tested underground distribution detection model in permafrost areas is directly used to detect the spatial distribution report of underground ice in permafrost areas. During the training and testing of the model, the latest image data obtained is continuously added to the dataset to expand the number of datasets, thereby ensuring the validity and continuity of the data, continuously optimizing the model training, and improving the model output accuracy.
