Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of debris flow monitoring and early warning technology, and specifically to a method for monitoring and early warning of gully-type debris flows based on multiple sensors. Background Technology
[0002] Due to the influence of high-intensity water flows such as atmospheric precipitation and glacial melting, debris flows in mountainous gullies are highly random and difficult to predict or detect through early observation and analysis or patrols. Therefore, debris flow monitoring has become a more effective means to avoid loss of life and property caused by sudden debris flows. To solve the problem of debris flow monitoring, a debris flow monitoring and early warning method is proposed.
[0003] The specification of the prior art document "CN202022741620.4 A Debris Flow Monitoring and Early Warning Device" mentions that it "includes a ground pile and a support column. The ground pile is installed at the lower end of the support column. A reinforcement device is sleeved on the outermost side of the support column. An electrical control box is installed at the front end of the middle section of the support column. A solar panel is installed at the upper end of the electrical control box. The solar panel is electrically connected to the electrical control box. A camera bracket is installed near the upper right end of the support column. A monitoring and early warning camera is installed at the lower right end of the camera bracket. An air humidity and rainfall monitor is installed at the upper end of the mounting tray. A signal antenna is installed at the upper end of the air humidity and rainfall monitor." Although the prior art document can solve the problem that the debris flow monitoring and early warning device is prone to tilting after being installed in the area for a long time, which will affect the monitoring angle of the entire debris flow monitoring and early warning device, the debris flow monitoring and early warning device in the prior art document suffers from multiple interferences caused by atmospheric rainfall, glacial melting and other high-intensity water flows, as well as a high false alarm rate in the monitoring method, resulting in inaccurate monitoring.
