[0044] 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.

[0045] The following is combined Figures 1-2 The present invention describes a method for evaluating the smoke generation effect of a drone.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1This invention provides a method for evaluating the smoke emission effect of a drone, comprising:

[0047] Step 100: Reconstruct the terrain and landforms based on the acquired geographic information, and determine the simulated weather based on the acquired meteorological information;

[0048] Specifically, the system loads and renders geographic vector data, satellite imagery, oblique photogrammetry modeling, and 3D ground feature modeling through standard services provided by the geospatial information platform. Preprocessing of the loaded and rendered data provides display capabilities for terrain features and remote sensing images of the land surface. Meteorological data is acquired through meteorological sensors, collecting data around the smoke-generating equipment to provide a simulation data foundation for smoke screen diffusion algorithms. Meteorological data required by smoke screen diffusion algorithms can also be input via the panel.

[0049] Step 200: Determine the target shielding area based on the simulated flight direction of the flying object, and determine the smoke type based on the preset flying object type;

[0050] Specifically, by using drones to simulate flying objects, the drone's position and attitude information are obtained from the image and data transmission links of the drone's ground information processing equipment. Based on the flying object's guidance method, target direction, and flight mode, the type of smoke screen that needs to be applied is determined, including the smoke-generating material, smoke-generating form, and different smoke-generating purposes. After determining the smoke-generating strategy, it can be set through the simulation system panel.

[0051] Step 300: Set the UAV flight attitude based on the terrain, the simulated weather, and the direction of flight of the flying object;

[0052] Specifically, based on the terrain, simulated weather, the direction of flight of the flying object, and the target to be covered by the smoke screen, the spatial position and attitude data of the UAV are set through the panel. The spatial position of the UAV is displayed in the UAV swarm smoke cover effect simulation system. The smoke generating equipment is mounted on the UAV platform. Based on the terrain, weather information, the direction of flight of the flying object, the target to be covered, the position and attitude of the smoke generating UAV, etc., the smoke emission speed and pod attitude of the UAV can be adjusted through the panel to obtain the set UAV flight attitude.

[0053] Step 400: Based on the smoke type, the target obscuring area, and the UAV flight attitude, simulate UAV smoke generation and estimate the effective smoke concentration and effective smoke thickness.

[0054] Specifically, based on real-time topographic and meteorological field data, the smoke screen diffusion model based on real physical parameters solves for the advection, external force, and diffusion terms, simulating the smoke screen diffusion process in real time. The smoke screen shading effect of the scene is displayed in real time in the system, simulating the entire smoke screen diffusion process, realizing the simulation and deduction of smoke screen diffusion, calculating the smoke screen diffusion range and smoke concentration in real time, and calculating the vertical projection surface formed above the smoke screen in the target area by the direction of flight or observation. Based on the vertical projection surface, the statistical range of effective smoke concentration and effective smoke thickness is defined, and effective smoke concentration thresholds and effective smoke thickness thresholds are set. The statistical results of effective smoke concentration and effective smoke thickness are displayed separately in the system interface.

[0055] Step 500: Determine the evaluation result of the smoke generation effect of the UAV based on the effective smoke concentration and the effective smoke thickness.

[0056] Specifically, based on the statistical results of effective smoke concentration and effective smoke thickness, the correctness, effectiveness, and feasibility of the UAV smoke generation mechanism are determined. The effectiveness of the UAV smoke generation in concealing the target is comprehensively evaluated based on the comparison between the effective smoke concentration and a first preset threshold, and the comparison between the effective smoke thickness and a second preset threshold. For example, if the effective smoke concentration is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, or the effective smoke thickness is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, it is determined that the UAV smoke generation is ineffective in concealing the target. Finally, based on the determination and the comprehensive evaluation results, the UAV smoke generation mechanism and strategy are iteratively optimized.

[0057] This embodiment recreates the terrain and landforms of the real world by acquiring geographic information, obtains real-time meteorological information from meteorological sensors to determine the weather conditions required for simulation, acquires the flight direction of flying objects, determines the type of smoke generated based on the type of flying objects, determines the required shielding area for the target based on the flight direction of the flying objects, sets the UAV's flight position, attitude, smoke emission speed, and pod attitude, simulates smoke generation in real time, estimates the effective smoke concentration and effective smoke thickness within the shielding area, and comprehensively evaluates the effect of the UAV's smoke shielding of the target based on the effective smoke concentration and effective smoke thickness. This solves the technical problems of existing technical solutions that cannot flexibly and dynamically deploy smoke and cannot accurately evaluate the effect of smoke screen shielding of targets.

[0058] In one embodiment, the drone smoke emission evaluation method provided in this application may further include:

[0059] Step 210: Obtain the position and attitude information of the flying object simulated by the UAV;

[0060] Step 220: Determine the direction of travel of the flying object based on its position and attitude information;

[0061] Step 230: Generate spatial grid data based on the ground feature model, and determine the combination result of the spatial grid data and remote sensing image;

[0062] Step 240: Determine the target shielding area based on the flight direction of the flying object, the combined result, and the collected spatial data of the smoke screen protection area.

[0063] Specifically, using drones to simulate flying objects, the system acquires the flying object's position and attitude information from the image and data transmission links of the drone's ground information processing equipment. Based on the flying object's spatial position and attitude data, the system displays the flying object's spatial position, target direction, guidance method (using a preset mode), and possible flight modes in the drone swarm smoke masking effect simulation system. Alternatively, the drone's position and attitude information can be input via a panel.

[0064] Based on the direction of flight of the flying object and the spatial data of the smoke screen protection area collected, spatial grid data is generated based on the ground feature model. The spatial grid data is combined with remote sensing images to calculate the geographic coordinates of the smoke screen protection area (i.e., the target obscuring area in this embodiment). It can also be drawn and set through three-dimensional geographic information scene.

[0065] This embodiment determines the target shielding area by combining the flight direction of the flying object, spatial grid data and remote sensing imagery, and the collected spatial data of the smoke screen protection area, providing a basis for evaluating the smoke generation effect.

[0066] In one embodiment, the drone smoke emission evaluation method provided in this application may further include:

[0067] Step 250: Based on the flight direction of the flying object, the preset guidance method and the preset flying object type, determine the smoke type, which includes the smoke-generating material, the smoke-generating shape and the smoke-generating purpose.

[0068] Specifically, based on the guidance method of the flying object (e.g., visible light, infrared light, and laser), the target direction, and the flight mode, the type of smoke screen that needs to be applied is determined, including different smoke-generating materials (e.g., fog oil, hexachloroethane, white phosphorus, and chlorosulfonic acid), different smoke-generating forms (e.g., blanket smoke screen and vertical smoke screen), and different purposes (e.g., shielding smoke screen and interference smoke screen). After determining the smoke-generating strategy, it can be set through the simulation system panel.

[0069] This embodiment determines the type of smoke by using information about the flying object, providing a technical basis for evaluating the smoke effect.

[0070] In one embodiment, the drone smoke emission evaluation method provided in this application may further include:

[0071] Step 310: Based on the terrain, the simulated weather, the direction of flight of the flying object, and the preset support target, set the UAV spatial position data and UAV attitude data;

[0072] Step 320: Based on the terrain, the simulated weather, the direction of flight of the flying object, the preset support target, the spatial position data of the UAV and the attitude data of the UAV, the smoke emission speed of the UAV and the attitude of the UAV pod are determined by the UAV equipped with a smoke-generating device.

[0073] Specifically, based on meteorological information such as terrain, wind speed and direction, the direction of flight of the flying object and the target to be protected, the spatial position data and attitude data of the UAV are set through the panel. The spatial position of the UAV is displayed in the simulation system of the UAV swarm smoke-generating target concealment effect. The smoke-generating equipment is mounted on the UAV platform. Based on meteorological information such as terrain, wind speed and direction, the direction of flight of the flying object, the position and attitude of the target to be protected and the smoke-generating UAV, the smoke-generating speed and pod attitude of the UAV can be adjusted through the panel.

[0074] This embodiment sets the UAV's flight attitude by considering terrain, simulated weather, and the direction of flight, laying a technical foundation for smoke generation deployment.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment, the drone smoke emission evaluation method provided in this application may further include:

[0076] Step 410: Solve the advection term, external force term and diffusion term based on the preset smoke diffusion model, and simulate the smoke diffusion process based on the solution results;

[0077] Step 420: Using the drone equipped with the smoke-generating device, determine the smoke diffusion range and smoke concentration based on the smoke type, the drone's flight attitude, and the smoke diffusion process;

[0078] Step 430: Estimate the effective smoke concentration and effective smoke thickness based on the target shielding area, the smoke diffusion range, and the smoke concentration.

[0079] Specifically, based on real-time meteorological data of complex terrain, a smoke screen diffusion model based on real physical parameters is used to solve for the advection, external force, and diffusion terms. The smoke screen diffusion process is simulated in real time, and the smoke screen occlusion effect of the scene is displayed in real time in the system using voxelization to simulate the entire diffusion process, realizing the simulation and deduction of smoke screen diffusion. The smoke screen diffusion range and smoke concentration are calculated in real time. By using the direction of flight or observation, the vertical projection surface formed above the smoke screen in the protected target area is calculated. The statistical range of effective smoke concentration and effective smoke thickness is defined based on the vertical projection surface. Effective smoke concentration threshold and effective smoke thickness threshold are set, and the statistical results of effective smoke concentration and effective smoke thickness are displayed separately in the system interface.

[0080] This embodiment simulates drone smoke generation by considering smoke type, target coverage area, and drone flight attitude, estimating effective smoke concentration and thickness, and providing a data foundation for directly evaluating smoke generation effects. This solves the technical problems of existing solutions being unable to flexibly and dynamically deploy smoke and accurately assess the effect of smoke screens on target coverage.

[0081] In one embodiment, the drone smoke emission evaluation method provided in this application may further include:

[0082] Step 510: Based on the comparison results between the effective smoke concentration and the first preset threshold, and the comparison results between the effective smoke thickness and the second preset threshold, determine the evaluation result of the smoke generation effect of the UAV.

[0083] Specifically, based on the statistical results of effective smoke concentration and effective smoke thickness, the correctness, effectiveness, and feasibility of the UAV smoke generation mechanism are determined. The effectiveness of the UAV smoke generation in concealing the target is comprehensively evaluated based on the comparison between the effective smoke concentration and a first preset threshold, and the comparison between the effective smoke thickness and a second preset threshold. For example, if the effective smoke concentration is greater than the first preset threshold and the effective smoke thickness is greater than the second preset threshold, the UAV smoke generation is considered to have a better effect on concealing the target. Finally, based on the determination and the comprehensive evaluation results, the UAV smoke generation mechanism and strategy are iteratively optimized.

[0084] This embodiment determines the evaluation result of the smoke generation effect of the UAV by comparing the effective smoke concentration and effective smoke thickness with their respective thresholds. This solves the technical problems of existing technical solutions being unable to flexibly and dynamically deploy smoke, and being unable to accurately evaluate the effect of smoke screen on target obscuring.

[0085] In one embodiment, the drone smoke emission evaluation method provided in this application may further include:

[0086] Step 110: Based on the standard services provided by the geospatial information platform, load and render geographic vector data, satellite imagery, oblique photogrammetry modeling, and 3D ground feature modeling;

[0087] Step 120: Preprocess the loaded and rendered geographic vector data, satellite imagery, oblique photogrammetry modeling, and 3D ground feature modeling to restore the terrain and landforms;

[0088] Step 130: Parse the data format of the acquired meteorological information, and integrate the parsed meteorological information with the simulation system to obtain simulated meteorology.

[0089] Specifically, based on the geospatial information platform provided by the UAV smoke effect evaluation scheme in this embodiment, geographic vector data, satellite imagery, oblique photogrammetry modeling, and 3D ground feature modeling are loaded and rendered through standard services. By preprocessing the loaded and rendered data, the display function of terrain and landform and surface remote sensing imagery is provided.

[0090] Meteorological data is acquired through meteorological sensors and transmitted to a computer terminal via wired or wireless communication. This data connects to a simulation system (simulating the effect of drone swarm smoke obscuring targets), enabling access to the terminal's data communication protocol. Real-time data streams from the terminal are pushed into the simulation system, where they are parsed according to the terminal's business data format to achieve a unified data format. Through data acquisition and parsing, the hardware digital signals are integrated with the simulation system. Key meteorological parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, atmospheric pressure, and relative humidity around the smoke-generating equipment are collected, providing a simulation data foundation for the smoke screen diffusion algorithm. Meteorological data required by algorithms such as smoke screen diffusion can also be input via a panel.

[0091] This embodiment uses geographic information to recreate the terrain and landforms of the real world, and determines the simulated weather based on the acquired meteorological information, providing a data foundation for UAV smoke simulation.
