[0011] Step G. Determine whether the visibility value obtained in the adjacent step F is greater than or equal to the visibility value division threshold. If yes, it means that the mobile terminal in front has moved out of the low visibility segment on the target movement path. Record the position of the mobile terminal behind as the boundary position of the low visibility segment on the target movement path, and then proceed to step H; otherwise, return to step D.

[0012] Step H. Control the rear mobile terminal to move along the target movement path towards the forward mobile terminal to a position at a distance from the visibility value threshold, and then return to step B.

If yes, proceed to step F-ii; otherwise, control the front mobile terminal to stop moving. The position of the front mobile terminal at the previous moment is the farthest visibility of the stationary position of its adjacent rear mobile terminal. Record the distance of the farthest visibility, which is the visibility value of the stationary position of the rear mobile terminal in the low visibility segment of the target moving path.

[0028] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the tracking-type terminal visibility measurement method designed in this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0029] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] This invention designs a tracking-type terminal visibility measurement method, such as... Figure 1 As shown, based on two mobile terminals, each equipped with a marking device and an image capture device, according to Figure 3 As shown, steps A to H are performed to detect the visibility of the target movement path and obtain the visibility values ​​of each low-visibility segment, each non-low-visibility segment, and each detection location in each low-visibility segment of the target movement path.

[0031] Step A. Figure 1 As shown, based on the preset visibility value and non-low visibility value classification threshold, the initial position of the two mobile terminals is taken as the position of the two mobile terminals on the non-low visibility segment of the target movement path and the distance between them from the visibility value classification threshold, and then proceeds to step B.

[0032] Step B. As Figure 2 As shown, both mobile terminals are controlled to move at a preset speed V along one direction of the target moving path. At the same time, the image capture device on the rear mobile terminal captures a video stream pointing in the direction of the marker device on the front mobile terminal in real time, and then proceeds to step C.

[0033] Step C. Execute MobileNets-SSD as the preferred target tracking algorithm, with Bossing method, random learning, or deep learning as alternatives. In real time, determine whether the current video frame in the video stream obtained by the image capture device on the rear mobile terminal contains the marker device on the front mobile terminal. If yes, return to step B; otherwise, proceed to step Ci.

[0034] Step Ci. The image capture device on the front mobile terminal captures a video frame pointing in the direction of the marker device on the rear mobile terminal. The MobileNets-SSD algorithm is selected as the primary target tracking algorithm, with Bossing, random learning, or deep learning as alternatives. The algorithm determines whether the video frame contains the marker device on the rear mobile terminal. If yes, proceed to step C-ii; otherwise, control both mobile terminals to stop moving. Record the position of the front mobile terminal at the previous moment as the boundary position of a low-visibility segment on the target's movement path, and then proceed to step D.

[0035] Step C-ii. Control the image capture device on the rear mobile terminal to perform a self-test, such as a self-test to check for faults in the image capture device itself, and to adjust the focus of its image capture; then, the image capture device on the rear mobile terminal captures a video frame pointing in the direction of the marker device on the front mobile terminal, and executes any target tracking algorithm, such as the Bossting method, random learning, or deep learning, to determine whether the video frame contains the marker device on the front mobile terminal. If yes, return to step B; otherwise, determine that the image capture device on the rear mobile terminal is faulty, and end the visibility detection of the target movement path.

[0036] Step D. As Figure 2 As shown, keep the position of the front mobile terminal stationary, control the rear mobile terminal to move along the target moving path towards the front mobile terminal at a preset speed V and pass the front mobile terminal, while updating the positions of the front and rear mobile terminals, and proceed to step E.

[0037] Step E. Figure 2 As shown, while keeping the rear mobile terminal stationary and the front mobile terminal moving, the image capture device on the rear mobile terminal captures a video stream pointing in the direction of the marker device on the front mobile terminal in real time, and then proceeds to step F.

[0038] Step F. Execute MobileNets-SSD as the preferred target tracking algorithm, with Bossting method, random learning, or deep learning as alternatives. In real time, determine whether the current video frame in the video stream obtained by the image capture device on the rear mobile terminal contains the marker device on the front mobile terminal. If yes, return to step E; otherwise, proceed to step Fi.

[0039] Step F1. A video frame pointing in the direction of the marker device on the rear mobile terminal is captured by the image capture device on the front mobile terminal. MobileNets-SSD is selected as the preferred target tracking algorithm, with Bossing method, random learning, or deep learning as alternatives. It is determined whether the video frame contains the marker device on the rear mobile terminal. If yes, proceed to step F-ii; otherwise, control the front mobile terminal to stop moving. The position of the front mobile terminal at the previous moment is the farthest visibility of the stationary position of its adjacent rear mobile terminal. The distance of the farthest visibility is recorded, which is the visibility value of the stationary position of the rear mobile terminal in the low visibility segment of the target movement path. This is used as the visibility value of a detection position in the low visibility segment of the target movement path, and then proceed to step G.

[0040] Step F-ii. Control the image capture device on the rear mobile terminal to perform a self-test, such as a self-test to check for faults in the image capture device itself, and to adjust the focus of its image capture; then, the image capture device on the rear mobile terminal captures a video frame pointing in the direction of the marker device on the front mobile terminal, and executes MobileNets-SSD as the preferred target tracking algorithm, with Bossting method, random learning, or deep learning as alternatives, to determine whether the video frame contains the marker device on the front mobile terminal. If yes, return to step E; otherwise, determine that the image capture device on the rear mobile terminal is faulty, and end the visibility detection of the target movement path.

[0041] Step G. Determine whether the visibility value obtained in the adjacent step F is greater than or equal to the visibility value division threshold. If yes, it means that the mobile terminal in front has moved out of the low visibility segment on the target movement path. Record the position of the mobile terminal behind as the boundary position of the low visibility segment on the target movement path, and then proceed to step H; otherwise, return to step D.

[0042] Step H. Figure 2 As shown, the control system moves the rear mobile terminal along the target movement path towards the forward mobile terminal to a position that is a distance from the visibility value threshold, and then returns to step B.

[0043] Applying the above-described tracking-type terminal visibility measurement method to practice, a threshold for distinguishing between low and non-low visibility values ​​is preset, such as 200m. The signage devices mounted on the two mobile terminals can be designed to use light sources. In the above design process, the flickering periods of the two light sources are the same, and the exposure periods of the image capture devices on the two mobile terminals are the same. The flickering period S1 of the light source is an integer multiple of the exposure period S2 of the image capture device, or the exposure period S2 of the image capture device is an integer multiple of the flickering period S1 of the light source. This design ensures that the image capture device on the rear mobile terminal can capture the light source on the front mobile terminal within the visible range, while also distinguishing the interference of other light sources on the light source on the front mobile terminal.

[0044] In practical applications, the target movement path applicable to the design of this invention can be a land road, a waterway, or a route at a specified altitude. For different types of movement paths, the mobile terminal selects different types of devices for application. For land roads, two mobile terminals can select two identical objects of any type, such as bicycles, motor vehicles, or pedestrians, and move along the land road path, and execute the above-mentioned design method to obtain the visibility values ​​of each low-visibility segment, each non-low-visibility segment, and each detection position in each low-visibility segment of the land road.

[0045] For waterways, two mobile terminals can select two identical objects from the same type of waterway mobile devices, move along the waterway path, and execute the above-mentioned design method to obtain the visibility values ​​of each low-visibility segment, each non-low-visibility segment, and each detection location in each low-visibility segment of the waterway.

[0046] In addition, for land roads, waterways, or routes at a specified altitude, the two mobile terminals can also select the same aircraft object of the same flight type, such as the same type of drone. The two drones are set at the same altitude above the land road, waterway, or route at a specified altitude, fly along the land road, waterway, or route at a specified altitude, and execute the above-mentioned design method to obtain the visibility values ​​of each low visibility segment, each non-low visibility segment, and each detection position in each low visibility segment of the land road, waterway, or route at a specified altitude.

[0047] In practical applications, this invention obtains the visibility values ​​of each low-visibility segment, each non-low-visibility segment, and each detection location within each low-visibility segment along the target movement path, thereby generating a corresponding low-visibility warning map for the path and providing safety alerts for the application of the corresponding actual path.

[0048] In practical applications, the above-mentioned chasing-type terminal visibility measurement method is further designed into a system for implementing this method, including a control module that communicates with two mobile terminals respectively. The control module includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, it implements the steps of the designed chasing-type terminal visibility measurement method.

[0049] This invention presents a tracking-type terminal visibility measurement method and system. Based on the movement of two mobile terminals along a target path, and using mutual recognition between the two mobile terminals based on image capture actions as the judgment criterion, a cyclical interchange strategy is designed for the two mobile terminals to exchange positions with each other. This obtains the positions of each visibility change node, thereby accurately determining the visibility values ​​of each low-visibility segment, each non-low-visibility segment, and each detection position within each low-visibility segment on the target path. This achieves continuous, high-precision, and fully automatic measurement of low-visibility weather on roads, greatly reducing the danger of manual patrols and the cost of high-density deployment of visibility meters. It is particularly effective for localized dense fog (patch fog) that often occurs on roads at night. In addition, the design method can freely adjust the spacing between mobile terminals according to different regional traffic control standards, making it adaptable to various industry scenarios such as highways, airports, and waterways, and has broad market application prospects and economic value.

However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
