TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present specification relates to the technical field of civil aviation, and in particular to a method and device for reducing the risk of luggage mis-sorting. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of the civil aviation transportation industry, more and more passengers who pursue efficiency choose to travel by air. The continuous increase in airport passenger and cargo volume has led to a series of problems such as luggage mis-sorting, mis-loading, and loss. When luggage is found in the wrong bin, it is often necessary to search all the checked-in luggage to find one piece of luggage. During the peak period of luggage, the work of the sorting personnel is very saturated, and the efficiency of searching piece by piece is low, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Not only can it affect the current flight guarantee task and cause the flight to be delayed, but it can also have an adverse impact on the subsequent flight guarantee task. Therefore, during the luggage transportation process, the luggage needs to be tracked and identified to determine the real-time position of the luggage during the transportation process.
[0003] The traditional technology of manually scanning luggage with barcodes is not only slow and error-prone, but also cannot effectively track the luggage. Therefore, in the prior art, radio frequency identification technology is introduced to automatically obtain the full-process information of the luggage without increasing the number of staff and workload. However, since the RFID reading station corresponding to the radio frequency identification technology is generally installed at the luggage transportation nodes of each carousel station of the sorting carousel, the detection of each luggage transportation node is realized, which makes it difficult to track the luggage transported between the luggage transportation nodes, that is, between the carousel stations. Further, the lost luggage caused by falling or missing in the sorting conveyor, or the mis-sorting luggage caused by flight delays, etc., can only be traced back after receiving the user's report, resulting in low reliability and low query efficiency of the luggage transportation.

[0061] The embodiments of the present specification provide a method and device for reducing luggage mis-sorting risks.
[0062] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present specification, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present specification will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present specification, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present specification, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should be within the scope of protection of the present specification.
[0063] As shown in the embodiments of the present specification, a flowchart of a method for reducing luggage mis-sorting risks is provided, which comprises the following steps: Figure 1 It can be known that a method for reducing luggage mis-sorting risks is applied to a whole-process luggage tracking system comprising a luggage tracking system, a security check information system and a luggage sorting system as shown in the embodiments of the present specification, and the method comprises the following steps: Figure 1 It can be known that a method for reducing luggage mis-sorting risks is applied to a whole-process luggage tracking system comprising a luggage tracking system, a security check information system and a luggage sorting system as shown in the embodiments of the present specification, and the method comprises the following steps: Figure 2 It can be known that a method for reducing luggage mis-sorting risks is applied to a whole-process luggage tracking system comprising a luggage tracking system, a security check information system and a luggage sorting system as shown in the embodiments of the present specification, and the method comprises the following steps:
[0064] S101: The luggage tracking system acquires current luggage information in an RFID luggage tag read by an RFID reading station, and a luggage case image corresponding to the current luggage information; wherein the RFID luggage tag comprises RFID information; the RFID information comprises luggage data and flight data.
[0065] The traditional luggage processing mode through manual inspection, infrared code scanning and loading has low efficiency and cannot guarantee the correctness of luggage sorting during the luggage peak period, which can easily lead to luggage misloading and missing. It is impossible to track each piece of luggage throughout the whole process, and after the passenger completes the luggage consignment, no one knows where the luggage goes. This not only seriously affects the service quality of ground support, but also causes difficulties in finding luggage. For example, in order to find a piece of luggage, all the checked-in luggage needs to be searched, which is low in efficiency and time-consuming and laborious during the luggage peak period. This not only may affect the current flight support task and cause flight delay, but also may have an adverse effect on the subsequent flight support task. In addition, the lack of luggage node information based on manual inspection makes the luggage transportation process opaque, and the passenger can only know whether the luggage consignment is normal after arriving at the luggage pickup hall. If the passenger does not receive the luggage, it is impossible to confirm the problem in the luggage transportation process due to the lack of luggage node information. Since there are many reasons for the missing luggage, the search for the luggage is not only time-consuming but also extremely complicated. This not only makes the passenger's air travel experience extremely poor, but also causes economic losses to the airline and the airport due to the compensation for the missing luggage of the passenger. Moreover, it is impossible to real-time master the loading progress of the luggage of the flight, and only after the check-in is completed, the sorting personnel can receive the total number of luggage of the flight. If there is a difference between the total number of luggage and the number of loaded luggage, it is necessary to confirm the luggage on each sorting carousel to check whether there is unloaded luggage. If no unloaded luggage is found, it is necessary to check whether there is dropped or missing luggage on the sorting transmission line, and so on. After the check-in is completed, the time left for the sorting personnel is very limited. Such processing mode is not targeted and is extremely time-consuming, which can easily cause flight delay and other problems.
[0066] Therefore, in order to improve the sorting efficiency and reduce the probability of luggage misloading, in the embodiment of the present specification, the luggage tracking system obtains the current luggage information in the RFID luggage tag read by the reading station and the luggage box image corresponding to the current luggage information during the departure process. It should be noted that the RFID luggage tag includes RFID information, and the RFID information includes passenger data and flight data. Specifically, during the check-in process, the luggage tag printer prints the RFID luggage tag, so that the passenger writes the luggage information and passenger information into the RFID electronic tag of the luggage tag when checking in, so as to send the related data such as passenger data and flight data to the luggage tracking system according to the data exchange platform. By introducing the RFID radio frequency technology, the whole process information of the luggage can be obtained by the luggage tracking system without increasing the workload of the staff.
[0067] Further, in order to quickly find the lost luggage and improve the sales of luggage inquiry, the luggage can be photographed by the X-ray machine or the camera at the check-in counter before the luggage enters the X-ray machine in the embodiment of the present specification, and the appearance photo of the luggage is sent to the luggage tracking system through the data exchange protocol, so that the luggage can be found through the photo when the luggage is found later, which greatly improves the efficiency of luggage finding. Specifically, in one or more embodiments of the present specification, before the luggage tracking system obtains the current luggage information in the RFID luggage tag read by the RFID reading station and the luggage box image corresponding to the current luggage information, the method further includes the following process:
[0068] First, the security information system obtains the check-in luggage image collected by the preset check-in camera, and receives the RFID luggage tag identified by the reading station, so as to load the check-in luggage image into the user terminal corresponding to the RFID luggage tag, so that the user terminal synchronizes the current luggage image to the luggage tracking system. It should be noted that the preset check-in camera is arranged in front of the departure X-ray machine or on the check-in counter, and the RFID luggage tag is placed on each luggage. In order to ensure safety during transportation and avoid luggage backlog caused by security when passenger flow is large, the security information system obtains the security identification uploaded by the security node corresponding to the security node of the luggage after the luggage enters the X-ray machine. It can be understood that the security identification includes: security pass identification or secondary security identification marked for subsequent package inspection when there is suspicious object in security. If the security information system determines that the security identification is the secondary security identification, the security area of the secondary security is determined according to the identification type of the secondary security identification, and the security area is uploaded to the user terminal corresponding to the RFID luggage tag, so as to identify the RFID luggage tag through the RFID mobile terminal, and sort the luggage box corresponding to the RFID luggage tag to the corresponding security area for package secondary security. On the contrary, if it is determined that the security identification is the security pass identification, the security information system identifies the flight data in the RFID luggage tag through the RFID mobile terminal, so as to determine the loading vehicle corresponding to the luggage box according to the flight data in the RFID luggage tag, and sort the luggage.
[0069] S102: The luggage tracking system compares the current luggage information with the current flight information corresponding to the RFID reading station to preliminarily identify the misclassified luggage as the target luggage.
[0070] In addition, in order to obtain the flight corresponding to the loading vehicle and reduce the risk of luggage misdelivery, in some embodiments of the present specification, the staff will select the loading vehicle type and input the loading vehicle number based on the user terminal, and then bind the vehicle button, so as to bind the loading vehicle and the flight. At this time, when the luggage is transported to a certain carousel station through the sorting carousel, the current luggage information in the RFID luggage tag read by the RFID reading station is compared with the current flight information corresponding to the RFID reading station, that is, the current flight information corresponding to the current sorting carousel station, so as to preliminarily identify the luggage not belonging to the carousel station. For example, Figure 2 As shown in a carousel station display diagram, based on the display result of the carousel station display screen, the sorting personnel can perform loading operation on the luggage based on the display result, so that the luggage enters the RFID mobile terminal departure task list. Due to the large passenger flow in the airport, when multiple flights are concentrated for sorting, multiple carousel stations will exist in the sorting carousel with long transmission link, so that multiple sorting personnel can perform collaborative loading operation during the movement of the sorting carousel. Since personnel are involved, there is a risk of mis-sorting caused by luggage falling and other objective reasons during the transportation of the luggage between one carousel station and the next carousel station. Therefore, the luggage between two carousel stations which has not been sorted is identified as mis-sorting luggage, so that the mis-sorting luggage is tracked as target luggage for subsequent tracking, so as to reduce the possible luggage mis-sorting problem and improve the sorting accuracy of the sorting whole process node.
[0071] Further, it needs to be explained that, in order to enable the RFID signal to be read within a controllable range during sorting and loading, and to achieve the effect of signal enhancement and reduction of mis-sorting probability, in the luggage sorting system of the present specification, as shown in Figure 3 An RFID mobile terminal is added, which is placed in a signal rectifier box made of metal material as shown in Figure 4 This solves the problem of easy misloading caused by the cross operation of scanning and carrying when the staff holds the RFID mobile terminal for scanning. Also based on the signal rectifier box, the RFID signal is constrained within a controllable range, and the normal RFID signal is bundled and strengthened, so that the RFID signal is read within a controllable range through the opening of the signal rectifier box, solving the problem of misidentification caused by the wide range and sensitive reaction of the RFID signal of the mobile device. It needs to be explained that the signal rectifier box installed on the mobile terminal has a lifting function, that is, the staff can adjust the height of the signal rectifier box according to the height of the luggage in the loading vehicle to facilitate the identification of the information of each luggage in the loading vehicle.
[0072] Further, in order to avoid misloading in the luggage sorting and transportation process, after the luggage tracking system obtains the position of the RFID reading station and the RFID luggage tag information read by the RFID reading station, the method further comprises:
[0073] The luggage sorting system determines the current luggage data according to the RFID information, and performs secondary confirmation on the current luggage data. If it is confirmed that the current luggage data is inconsistent with the luggage data read by the RFID reading station, the luggage sorting system returns the current luggage data to the luggage tracking system. That is, as shown in the embodiment of the present specification, the rectifier box is placed at the end of the trailer, and after the RFID mobile terminal is placed in the rectifier box, the luggage can be loaded. The RFID mobile terminal automatically scans the information of each piece of luggage loaded, performs secondary confirmation on the loading result, reports the loading node, and feeds back the loading result to the sorting personnel through sound and light, so as to avoid misloading. Figure 5
[0074] Further, in one or more embodiments of the present specification, the luggage tracking system compares the current luggage information with the current flight information corresponding to the RFID reading station to preliminarily identify the misloaded luggage as the target luggage, which specifically includes the following process:
[0075] First, the luggage sorting system determines the position area corresponding to the corresponding luggage box according to the flight data, so as to determine whether the position of the RFID reading station, that is, the position of the current carousel station, is within the coverage range of the position area corresponding to the corresponding luggage box. It should be noted that the position area is the area that should be passed in the transportation process of the corresponding luggage box, including: sorting carousel station, loading vehicle. If the corresponding luggage box is not currently in the corresponding position area, the luggage sorting system determines that the corresponding luggage box is misloaded luggage, and transmits the misloaded luggage to the luggage tracking system as the target luggage. If it is in the position area, the luggage tracking system determines whether the current luggage box has been delayed according to the flight data and the current time, and if it has been delayed, the corresponding luggage box is determined as the target luggage. For example, the luggage that needs to be forced to load, such as abnormal flight, inconsistent luggage destination station, etc., is also the target luggage, wherein it should be noted that such luggage is scanned and transported by forced loading.
[0076] Further, in some application scenarios of the present specification, for the delayed luggage box, the method can further include the following process:
[0077] The current meteorological data is obtained according to the loading position coordinates of the loading vehicle, so that the meteorological data along the way of the luggage case is determined according to the flight data corresponding to the luggage case, to filter the current meteorological data and the meteorological data along the way based on the Pearson correlation coefficient method, and obtain data with higher relevance to flight delay as key meteorological data. Then, the initial long short-term memory network is parameterized according to the pre-set optimization algorithm, and the optimal parameter combination is obtained, so as to update the initial long short-term memory network based on the optimal parameter combination to obtain the preset long short-term memory network. It should be noted that the parameters include the number of neurons, the sliding time window width, and the initial learning rate value. Then, the flight data and the key meteorological data corresponding to the current meteorological data are input into the preset long short-term memory network for iterative prediction to obtain the flight delay prediction corresponding to the flight data. It should be noted that the above process of parameterizing the initial long short-term memory network according to the preset optimization algorithm to obtain the optimal parameter combination, and updating the initial long short-term memory network based on the optimal parameter combination to obtain the preset long short-term memory network, specifically includes the following process: first, determine the number of random combination population of each parameter in the initial long short-term network, and determine the maximum number of iterations of the preset optimization algorithm, and determine the search parameter node of the current random combination population. Then, according to the distance between the search parameter node and other nodes in the random combination population, the fitness of each node in the random combination population is determined, and the current optimal position in the random combination population is determined according to the fitness. It can be understood that the greater the fitness value, the better the position. Then, according to the preset coefficient vector and the maximum number of iterations of the preset optimization algorithm, the position of each combination parameter in the optimization population is updated, the optimal position in the updated random combination population is obtained, and the parameter combination of the node corresponding to the optimal position is taken as the optimal parameter combination.
[0078] S103: The luggage tracking system obtains the luggage features of the target luggage according to the current luggage case image corresponding to the RFID luggage tag, and extracts the luggage case contour of the current luggage case image based on a preset convex curve contour method.
[0079] Since the range of signal receiving of the RFID reading station is limited, in order to realize the whole-process transportation monitoring of the target luggage transported between two RFID reading stations, the problem of whether there is luggage falling or missing in the high-enclosed loop transportation line after sorting error in the prior art is solved, and so on. After check-in, the time left for the sorting personnel is very tight, and such processing mode is not targeted, which wastes time abnormally and is easy to cause flight delay and other problems. Therefore, in order to reduce the probability of sorting error, the luggage that may have sorting error can obtain corresponding tracking information in real time. In the embodiment of the present specification, the luggage tracking system obtains the luggage features of the target luggage according to the current luggage box image corresponding to the RFID luggage tag, that is, the luggage image stored during check-in, and then extracts the luggage box contour of the current luggage box image based on the preset convex curve contour mode, so as to facilitate subsequent real-time tracking of the target luggage box that may have sorting error according to the luggage features, the luggage box contour and the luggage box image taken during the check-in process of the luggage box.
[0080] Specifically, in one or more embodiments of the present specification, the luggage tracking system obtains the luggage features of the target luggage according to the current luggage box image corresponding to the RFID luggage tag, and extracts the luggage box contour of the current luggage box image based on the preset convex curve contour mode, specifically including the following processes:
[0081] Firstly, in order to reduce the complexity and calculation amount of image processing, the luggage tracking system first obtains the gray image of the current luggage image, so as to realize the downsampling of each pixel point in the gray image to obtain the downsampled gray image. Then, the luggage tracking system determines the gray distribution of the gray image according to the image histogram of the gray image, and determines the gray threshold of the gray image according to the gray analysis, so as to convert the gray image into a binary image based on the gray threshold. Then, the luggage tracking system determines the convex curve contour search initial pixel point of the binary image, so as to traverse the adjacent pixel points of each convex curve contour search initial pixel point, and obtain the pixel point connected with the convex curve contour search initial pixel point as the next convex curve contour search initial pixel point. Then, the luggage tracking system iteratively calculates the next convex curve contour search initial pixel point, and if it can be determined that the next convex curve contour search initial pixel point is a curve contour search initial pixel point, the curve contour search initial pixel point is connected in sequence according to the preset curvature, and the next convex curve contour search initial pixel point is obtained, so as to obtain the luggage box contour of the current luggage image. Then, in order to obtain the luggage features in the luggage box contour, the luggage tracking system performs rough segmentation on the current luggage box image according to the luggage box contour, obtains a rough segmentation image, and converts the RGB color space to HIS color space and Lab color space respectively, so as to obtain the luggage features of the target tracking luggage according to the color channel information of each pixel point in the different color spaces of the rough segmentation image.
[0082] S104: The luggage tracking system determines a plurality of suspected target luggage collected by the preset camera monitoring point according to the luggage features and the luggage case contour.
[0083] In order to realize the tracking of luggage that may have a misclassification probability between the two RFID code reading stations, in the embodiment of the present specification, the luggage tracking system determines a plurality of suspected target luggage collected by the preset camera monitoring point on the luggage transmission path corresponding to the RFID code reading station according to the luggage features and the luggage case contour obtained in the above step S103. That is, after the current luggage features and the current luggage case contour of each luggage case in the image collected by each camera on the camera monitoring point on the transmission path between the two rotary table stations are extracted, and after the current luggage features and the luggage case contour of the corresponding luggage case in the current luggage case image obtained in the check-in process are compared, a plurality of luggage cases with high similarity are locked as suspected luggage cases for subsequent detailed tracking and identification. In order to save the calculation power in the tracking process based on the combination of coarse identification and fine identification, the calculation pressure is relieved while the accuracy of tracking is ensured.
[0084] S105: The luggage tracking system obtains suspected image features of the suspected target luggage and current image features of the current luggage image, and serializes the suspected image features and the current image features to determine the similarity between the suspected target luggage and the target luggage according to the serialized features.
[0085] After obtaining the suspected target luggage based on the above step S104, in order to accurately identify the target luggage in the suspected target luggage, the luggage tracking system in the embodiment of the present specification obtains suspected image features of the suspected target luggage and current image features of the current luggage image in the check-in process, so as to serialize the suspected image features and the current image features, and determine the similarity between the suspected target luggage and the target luggage according to the serialized features. In this process, through multi-dimensional analysis and comparison of the images of the suspected target luggage and the target luggage, the reliability of the luggage case tracking is ensured, and the accuracy of the tracking is improved.
[0086] Specifically, in one or more embodiments of the present specification, the suspected image features of the suspected target luggage and the current image features of the current luggage image are obtained, and the suspected image features and the current image features are serialized to determine the similarity between the suspected target luggage and the target luggage according to the serialized features, which specifically includes the following processes:
[0087] Firstly, the luggage tracking system divides the monitoring image of the suspected target luggage and the current luggage image according to the pre-set size window, so as to obtain the monitoring sub-image of the monitoring image and the current luggage sub-image of the current luggage image. Then the luggage tracking system determines the suspected image features of the monitoring image and the current image features of the current monitoring image according to the monitoring sub-image and the current luggage sub-image. It should be noted that the suspected image features include suspected image local features and suspected image global features, and the current image features include current image local features and current image global features. In order to realize the combination of local features and global features to determine the target luggage, the luggage tracking system sorts the suspected image features of the monitoring sub-image based on the position of each monitoring sub-image in the monitoring image, and obtains the serialized suspected image features. Then the luggage tracking system sorts the current image features of the current monitoring sub-image according to the position of each current monitoring sub-image in the current monitoring image, and obtains the serialized current image features. The luggage tracking system determines the comparison mapping relationship of each feature according to the position of each feature after serialization in the serialized suspected image features and the serialized current image features, so as to compare the suspected image local features and the current image local features in sequence based on the corresponding mapping relationship, and obtain the local similarity between the suspected target luggage and the target luggage. Then the luggage tracking system compares each suspected image global feature and each current image global feature in sequence based on the corresponding mapping relationship, and obtains the global similarity between the suspected target luggage and the target luggage. Then the luggage tracking system takes the product of the local similarity and the global similarity as the similarity between the suspected target luggage and the target luggage.
[0088] Further, in one or more embodiments of the present specification, based on the monitoring sub-image and the current luggage sub-image, the suspected image features of the monitoring image and the current image features of the current monitoring image are determined respectively, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0089] First, the luggage tracking system will monitor the image of the suspected target luggage, according to the pre-set rectangular segmentation size, after segmentation to obtain the corresponding monitoring sub-image. Then the luggage tracking system obtains each monitoring sub-image, and the variance of each pixel point and the mean value of each pixel point in the current luggage sub-image of the RFID luggage tag, and then determines the binary image of the monitoring sub-image according to the obtained variance and mean value, and the binary image of the current luggage sub-image. Then the luggage tracking system will determine the suspected image local feature of the monitoring image according to the binary image of the monitoring sub-image, and determine the current image local feature of the current luggage image according to the binary image of the current luggage sub-image. Through the pre-set two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform, the suspected image global feature and the current image global feature of the monitoring image and the current luggage image are extracted respectively. Then the suspected image local feature and the suspected image global feature are used as the suspected image feature of the monitoring image, and the current image local feature and the current image global feature are used as the current image feature of the current luggage image.
[0090] S106: If it is determined that the similarity is greater than the preset threshold, the luggage tracking system will label the suspected target luggage as the target luggage to realize luggage tracking.
[0091] Based on the similarity obtained in step S105, if it is determined that the similarity is greater than the preset threshold, the luggage tracking system will label the suspected target luggage as the target luggage, thereby realizing the tracking process of the luggage that may have a misclassification risk. In one or more embodiments of the present specification, after determining that the similarity is greater than the preset threshold and labeling the suspected target luggage as the target luggage, the method further includes the following process:
[0092] First, the pre-set detection point corresponding to the target luggage is uploaded to the RFID luggage tag, and the user terminal of the RFID luggage tag is bound. If it is determined that the user terminal uploads a query instruction, the monitoring image of the target luggage and the corresponding pre-set camera are synchronized to the user terminal, so as to determine the tracking of the target luggage by the user terminal. Further, for the luggage box that has been loaded, such as Figure 6 The method also includes: long pressing the luggage selection to operate the loaded luggage. For the misloaded luggage, it can be deleted; for the transshipment luggage, it can be pulled down; for the damaged luggage, it can be selected to report the exception; for the fragile, valuable, overweight, etc. Luggage can be labeled; for two-cabin, small animals and other luggage that need to be highlighted, the service type of the luggage can be modified to two-cabin and small animals. As shown in Figure 7After the baggage is loaded onto the truck, sorting personnel will hand over the entire truckload to the loading personnel. This operation can be done via an RFID mobile terminal. The loading personnel will verify the quantity loaded and sign for receipt. Upon receiving the baggage, the loading personnel will load it onto the aircraft. For baggage loaded onto flatbed trucks, the loading process is the same as for truck loading: each piece of baggage to be loaded is automatically scanned using an RFID mobile terminal, and loading confirmation is performed. For baggage loaded onto containers, the entire container can be loaded with a single click on the mobile terminal. After loading is complete, the loading point is recorded. After passengers collect their baggage, staff at the baggage claim exit can use an RFID mobile terminal to compare the baggage tag with the passenger's boarding pass information to ensure that passengers have not taken the wrong baggage.
