Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of safe construction, and in particular to a warning method for excavator construction. Background Art
[0002] Due to limited working space, complex construction environments, and the intensive workload of high-risk construction tasks, supervisors are unable to fully monitor and inspect construction site safety at all times. Deploying video surveillance at construction sites allows for remote monitoring of construction progress, achieving comprehensive coverage. However, video surveillance still requires human involvement and lacks intelligent safety monitoring, wasting significant manpower and resources. Furthermore, it is difficult for supervisors to identify potential safety hazards from multiple images in a timely manner, making accidents highly likely to occur. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the above situation, the present invention provides a warning method for excavator construction, which solves the technical problems of inadequate and difficult safety supervision in traditional construction. By digitizing the positional relationship between the excavator and personnel in the video data, and then comparing the data through a program to obtain a comparison result, an alarm is given according to the comparison result. The supervisor only needs to pay close attention to the alarm signal to identify dangerous behavior, thereby improving the supervision of dangerous behavior and improving the safety of construction.

[0045] Identify the data of the excavator and personnel in the original video and output it as a construction picture;
[0046] An XOY coordinate system is established with the upper left corner of the construction picture as the origin, with the X axis of the coordinate system extending along the top edge of the construction picture and the Y axis extending along the left edge of the construction picture;
[0047] Select the excavator in the construction picture to form a first rectangular frame, record the coordinates of the upper right corner of the first frame as (x1, y1), and record the coordinates of the lower left corner of the first frame as (x2, y2);
[0048] Select the person in the construction picture to form a second rectangular frame, record the coordinates of the upper right corner of the second frame as (x3, y3), and record the coordinates of the lower left corner of the second frame as (x4, y4);

[0050] A corresponding risk level is issued according to the value of the overlap.
[0051] A preferred implementation example of the warning method for excavator construction of the present invention is that when calculating the overlap, the method further includes:
[0052] Calculate the overlapping area of the overlapping portion of the first frame and the second frame and the total area occupied by the first frame and the second frame according to the coordinates (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3) and (x4, y4);
[0053] The overlapping area is divided by the total area to obtain the degree of overlap.
[0054] Furthermore, when obtaining construction pictures, it also includes:
[0055] Output each frame in the original video as a construction picture.
[0056] Furthermore, after obtaining the coordinates, the following steps are also included:
[0057] The (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3) and (x4, y4) in several construction pictures are compared with the corresponding four coordinates in the previous frame of the construction picture. If the comparison results are consistent, the next frame of the construction picture is deleted, which reduces the number of pictures to be processed and improves the detection efficiency.
[0058] Furthermore, it also includes:
[0059] Delete several construction pictures that only have the first frame or only have the second frame.
[0060] Furthermore, the risk level includes blue alert, yellow alert, and red alert;

[0063] When the overlap value is equal to 1, a red alarm is issued.
[0064] Furthermore, it also includes a display screen and a buzzer;
[0065] When the overlap value is equal to 0, the display screen shows a blue alarm;
[0066] When the overlap value is greater than 0 and less than 1, the display screen shows a yellow alarm;
[0067] When the value of the overlap is equal to 1, the display screen displays a red alarm and the buzzer sounds.
[0068] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0070] Adjusting the parameters of the SSD learning model according to the comparison result to form an SSD detection model;
[0071] The hydraulic engineering image is input into the SSD detection model, and then the SSD detection model outputs each frame of the original video as a construction image, and then selects the excavator and personnel in the construction image, and calculates the overlap degree.
[0072] Furthermore, when the excavator in the construction picture is selected, the following is also included:
[0073] Identify the limit point of the excavator along the X-axis direction, and then draw a vertical straight line through the limit point of the X-axis;
[0074] The limit point of the excavator along the Y-axis direction is identified, and then a horizontal straight line is drawn through the limit point of the Y-axis, so that the vertical straight line and the horizontal straight line enclose each other to form a first frame.
[0075] Furthermore, when selecting a person in the construction picture, it also includes:
[0076] Identify the person's extreme point along the X-axis, and then draw a vertical straight line through the extreme point of the X-axis;

[0084] The warning method for excavator construction of the present invention outputs video data into a construction picture, processes the construction picture to obtain the spatial relationship between the excavator and the personnel, and then judges whether the personnel are safe based on the spatial relationship. The display and buzzer are used to remind the supervisor, so that the supervisor can identify dangerous behaviors in time, thereby improving the supervision of dangerous behaviors and improving the safety of construction.
[0085] A specific implementation case of the warning method for excavator construction of the present invention is to deploy monitoring equipment at the construction site to perform real-time video recording to obtain original video;
[0086] The original video is input into the SSD detection model, and then the SSD detection model outputs each frame of the original video as a construction picture;
[0087] The SSD detection model selects the excavator in the construction picture to form a first rectangular frame, records the coordinates of the upper right corner of the first frame as (x1, y1), and records the coordinates of the lower left corner of the first frame as (x2, y2); selects the person in the construction picture to form a second rectangular frame, records the coordinates of the upper right corner of the second frame as (x3, y3), and records the coordinates of the lower left corner of the second frame as (x4, y4); then deletes several pictures in which only the excavator is identified, deletes several pictures in which only the person is identified, deletes several pictures with overlapping coordinates, and then calculates the overlap of the areas of the first frame and the second frame of the remaining pictures;
[0088] When the overlap value is equal to 0, the display screen shows a blue alarm;
[0089] When the overlap value is greater than 0 and less than 1, the display screen shows a yellow alarm;
[0090] When the value of the overlap is equal to 1, the display screen displays a red alarm and the buzzer sounds.
