Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of natural sensing technology, specifically a method for fire fighting based on forest natural sensing. Background Technology
[0002] Perception is the foundation for humans and different life forms to acquire external information and support life activities. It is also the foundation for the Internet of Things to acquire external information and drive information flow. Perception is integrated into all human production practices and life activities. Currently, the process of perceiving the natural environment is developing towards intelligent perception, with the goal of forming an integrated intelligent perception capability of "sky, air, ground, and network" and establishing a natural resource intelligent perception network that covers all elements, multiple scales, multiple levels, and the entire domain.
[0003] Due to the static nature of plants, they have evolved mechanisms based on physical and chemical defenses to deter herbivores and repair damaged tissues. These mechanisms manifest as changes in reactive oxygen species, electrical signals, and cellular solute concentrations within plants. They are an important component of the signaling network that forms the defense response at damaged sites and the systemic defense response. Extremely weak biocurrents exist within plants, and these biocurrents become abnormal when plants are invaded or damaged. The development of technologies such as wearable plant sensors, flexible sensors, smart sensors, and invasive electrodes has provided a technological basis for more accurate measurement of changes in plant currents.
[0004] All life and matter are natural sensors, natural perceptors that integrate self-sensing and information interpretation. However, we still know little about how to acquire, understand, and utilize this information. Research on perception based on the natural perception processes of forests allows us to perceive the occurrence and development of forests and fires from the forest's own perspective, letting the forest tell us the answers. This research aims to identify events occurring in forests based on their natural perception processes. This perception requires establishing a mapping relationship between perceived information and knowledge about forest fires. Plant electrical signals are physiological signals that play an important role in information transmission between plant tissues. They can reflect changes in plant growth and development, nutritional status, and the external environment. However, due to the physiological and environmental noise inherent in forests, it is difficult to interpret effective information. Therefore, it is necessary to screen species sensitive to forest fires, establish perception maps, and build highly sensitive recognition models based on big data and artificial intelligence.
[0005] However, research based on the natural perception process of forests, perceiving the occurrence and development of forests and fires from the perspective of the forest itself, letting the forest tell us the answers, and researching the identification of events occurring in forests based on the natural perception process of forests, requires establishing a mapping relationship between perceived information and forest fire knowledge. Based on different forest fire risks, a mapping relationship between plant electrical signals and fire information is constructed, and then a forest fire risk early warning perception map is established. This invention patent belongs to a completely new approach and original idea, and there are currently no publicly available patents in this regard. Summary of the Invention
[0006] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for fire fighting based on forest natural sensing, which solves the problems of the inability to transmit signals through plant sensing and the inability to take timely countermeasures when a forest fire occurs.
[0008] (II) Technical Solution
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for fire fighting based on forest natural perception, comprising the following steps:
[0010] S1. Probe setup, including probe fabrication and patch fabrication, wherein the probe is a conductive and corrosion-resistant metal or carbon rod, and the patch is a conductive and corrosion-resistant metal or carbon film.
[0011] S2. Establishing a connection with the plant, the specific steps of which are as follows:
[0012] S2.1. Insert the probe into the plant and connect it with the plant's roots, trunk, branches, and other organs and tissues;
[0013] S2.2. Expose the phloem at the plant joint, connect the patch to the phloem of the plant roots, trunk, branches, etc., and connect the patch to the plant leaves at the same time.
[0014] S2.3. The probe and patch are connected to the current metering terminal via wires. A virtual plant is drawn in the computer, corresponding to the physical plant. The current change at each position of the plant is displayed in real time on the virtual plant in the computer.
[0015] S3. Establish a plant library and a virtual forest, including establishing and displaying a corresponding virtual forest, where the virtual plant library in the virtual forest corresponds to the corresponding plant in the forest;

[0017] S5. Host setup: A positioning chip is installed in the host, mainly used to record latitude and longitude. It uses mobile phone signal or Beidou short message communication. At the same time, the host has a storage chip inside, which can store plant electrical signals. The whole system is powered by solar energy or batteries.
[0018] S6. Standard learning field setup: The standard learning field is a controllable experimental field, mainly used to establish a database of recognizable event signals.

[0019] S7. Signal library establishment and sensitive plant selection: Based on the electrical signals generated under different events recorded in S6, a signal library for different events is established. Events and electrical signals are recorded synchronously to establish a signal library that matches events and signals. A background signal library is recorded synchronously to remove background signals and enhance event signals. At the same time, the sensitivity of different plants to the response to things is recorded, and sensitive plants are selected as the perceptrons and backup perceptrons.

The obtained ripple signals are transmitted back to the system platform through the host and wireless network. The platform calculates the ripple attributes such as time, intensity, range, and amplitude of the ripple signals, and then determines the event attributes based on the ripple attributes.
[0029] S11. Perception and recognition of combined events: For similar or different types of events occurring simultaneously in the forest, record the signals of combined or integrated events, and deconstruct them according to the ripples and waveforms of the event signals to obtain information about different events;
