[0003] As a crucial component of the last mile in the access network, dumb resources such as optical distribution boxes and optical fiber splitters occupy a significant proportion of network resources. It's easy to see that the current management of dumb resources presents three major challenges: 1. The existing network information nodes are numerous and widely dispersed, exhibiting a network scale effect. As the number increases, the difficulty and cost of maintenance amplify exponentially; 2. On-site terminal equipment cannot be monitored or connected to the network, and may even lack power access, making traditional networking methods inconvenient; 3. Routine business operations often require on-site personnel, resulting in low efficiency and compromised accuracy and timeliness of information.

[0004] To address the management and verification of existing dummy resources such as fiber optic access, a new and efficient verification method is needed to overcome the shortcomings of current methods that rely too heavily on manual maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0040] Since access network resources are the foundation for telecommunications companies to provide services to the outside world, making full use of network resources and improving resource management and utilization efficiency are key to achieving enterprise informatization. As communication networks become increasingly complex, improving production efficiency becomes increasingly important, which can enhance the full-service competitiveness of operators.

[0041] This invention proposes a novel method for confirming optical junction box resources. Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the optical junction box resource verification method provided by the present invention, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0042] Step 100: Based on the data entered into the optical distribution box and the panel diagram of the optical distribution box, determine the target optical distribution box;

[0043] Step 200: Obtain the optical junction box terminal identification library established based on image recognition, and determine the terminal resources in the target optical junction box based on the optical junction box terminal identification library.

[0044] The fiber optic junction box involved in this invention is a junction device that provides termination and patching for backbone and distribution layer optical cables. After the optical cable is introduced into the junction box, it is fixed, terminated, and distributed. Then, patch cords are used to connect the backbone and distribution layer optical cables. The fiber optic junction box is mainly used as an interface device at the junction of backbone and distribution optical cables in an optical cable access network. The structure of the fiber optic junction box mainly consists of a box body, internal metal parts, optical fiber connectors, and spare parts. In summary, the application of fiber optic junction boxes in local optical cable networks is important for the effective management and rational planning and utilization of optical fiber cores, improving the refined management of optical fiber cores, and making the construction of optical fiber networks more flexible and scalable, allowing the physical optical cable network to better serve the development and construction of telecommunications services.

[0045] Specifically, the resource information of the fiber optic distribution boxes in the network resources is pre-entered manually, i.e., the optical distribution box entry data. Usually, the relevant data is entered directly on the configuration webpage or client. Then, the panel image of the optical distribution box is obtained by taking a picture. By combining the above optical distribution box entry data and the optical distribution box panel image, the two pieces of information are compared to determine whether it is the target optical distribution box, i.e., the specific optical distribution box that needs to be used in this network.

[0046] Furthermore, after determining the basic information of the optical distribution box, it is also necessary to confirm the terminal information on the optical distribution box. By training with artificial intelligence image recognition, an optical distribution box terminal recognition library is constructed and compared with the target optical distribution box to obtain the terminal resources in the target optical distribution box.

[0047] This invention, starting from the complex communication network data, introduces image recognition technology without changing the original system software architecture to achieve rapid identification and calibration of resources such as optical junction boxes and optical fiber distribution boxes, thereby improving the accuracy of dumb resources and reducing manual workload.

[0048] Based on the above embodiments, determining the target optical cross-connect box based on the optical cross-connect box input data and the optical cross-connect box panel diagram includes:

[0049] The basic information and advanced attributes of the optical distribution box are determined according to the networking requirements, and the basic information and advanced attributes are used to form the optical distribution box data.

[0050] Obtain a panel image of an optical switch box that meets the recognition criteria, compare the panel image of the optical switch box with the data entered in the optical switch box, obtain a comparison result that is greater than the accuracy threshold, and determine the target optical switch box based on the comparison result.

[0051] According to a method for confirming optical distribution box resources provided by the present invention, obtaining an optical distribution box panel diagram that meets the identification conditions includes:

[0052] If it is determined that the proportion of objects in the optical junction box panel image is within a preset range, then the optical junction box panel image is determined to meet the recognition conditions.

[0053] The step of determining the target optical cross-connect box based on the data entered into the optical cross-connect box and the panel diagram of the optical cross-connect box further includes:

[0054] If it is determined that the optical switch box panel diagram is not the target optical switch box, then adjust the optical switch box input data and / or the optical switch box panel diagram.

[0055] Specifically, because the existing process for adding dumb resources to the network relies on manual maintenance of optical junction boxes and terminals to ensure their accuracy, even this manual review process is prone to errors. Therefore, it is proposed that... Figure 2 The diagram shows a rapid confirmation process for optical junction box resources.

[0056] First, the optical distribution box and terminals are entered, then the optical distribution box panel diagram is uploaded. After panel recognition and comparison analysis, the optical distribution box resources can be confirmed.

[0057] When manually entering data for optical junction boxes, information confirmation is usually divided into basic information and advanced attributes. For example, the basic information includes, but is not limited to, the name, the city, the district / county, the installation location, the facility type, the facility name, the coordinates including longitude and latitude, and the business category. The advanced attributes include, but are not limited to, the number of faces, the number of modules per face, the number of rows per module per face, the number of columns per module per face, the project name, and the life cycle status.

[0058] It is understood that, in order to ensure that the uploaded optical junction box panel image can be quickly and accurately identified in this invention, some recognition conditions are set for the image of the optical junction box panel, such as the object occupying a certain preset range in the photo, such as 60%-90%, and having a clear outline.

[0059] In addition, if the panel recognition and comparison fails, the system will set up to input data into the optical junction box, or readjust the panel diagram of the optical junction box, or update the data of both types of data at the same time.

[0060] This invention first determines reasonable optical distribution box resources, providing more accurate data support for subsequent confirmation of optical distribution box terminal resources.

[0061] Based on any of the above embodiments, obtaining the optical junction box terminal identification library established based on image recognition includes:

[0062] Collect more than a preset number of optical junction box panel images;

[0063] Determine the labeling sample corresponding to the multiple optical junction box panel diagram samples based on the terminal status;

[0064] The labeled image sample is decomposed into multiple small image blocks to obtain the labeling results of the labeled image sample, and terminal identification information is generated based on the labeling results;

[0065] The terminal identification information is input into a preset small neural network, and the terminal identification information corresponding to each small image block is extracted into a number sequence to form the optical junction box terminal identification library.

[0066] The step of determining the terminal resources in the target optical distribution box based on the optical distribution box terminal identification library includes:

[0067] The optical switch box panel image corresponding to the target optical switch box is reduced by pixel sampling to obtain the reduced panel image;

[0068] If the terminal information in the reduced rear panel diagram is consistent with that in the optical junction box terminal identification library, the terminal information is output as the terminal resource; otherwise, the terminal information is determined to be an error.

[0069] The terminal states include idle state, occupied state, and unused state.

[0070] Specifically, such as Figure 3 The flowchart shown above illustrates the training process for the optical distribution box terminal recognition library. First, images of optical distribution box panels that meet the following criteria must be collected: the object occupies 60% to 90% of the photo and its outline is clear. Then, the collected optical distribution box panel images are labeled. To ensure the training effect, a certain number of labeled photos are required, usually no less than 200. Next, the terminals are labeled according to their status. There are generally three status categories: free, busy, and empty, which correspond to the idle, occupied, and unoccupied states of the terminals, respectively. The unoccupied state refers to an empty rack without a tray, i.e., no terminals are installed.

[0071] Then, analysis data is generated based on the annotation results, and this data is then imported into a small neural network. The results of each small image patch are stored in a new sequence to form an optical junction box terminal recognition library.

[0072] Next, when identifying terminals, the image of the optical junction box panel is first reduced in pixels. The similarity is then analyzed using the optical junction box terminal identification library to make a prediction. If a match is found, the identified terminal resource is output; otherwise, an inconsistency is considered, and an incorrect result is output. Figure 4The flowchart shown is for the identification process of the optical junction box terminals. The process involves identifying the number of rows and columns of terminals. If a match is found, the comparison continues; otherwise, the application is rejected, and the data must be revised or a new photo uploaded. Then, the terminal status is compared. If a match is found, the application is considered successful and the work order is allowed to be archived. If a match is not found, the application is rejected, and the data must be revised or a new photo uploaded, until a successful match is achieved.

[0073] The proposed method for rapid verification of optical junction box resources not only ensures the accuracy of resources but also reduces the workload of manual verification, reduces the time spent on resource verification, reduces manpower input, reduces costs and increases efficiency, and enhances the competitiveness of operators.
