Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of radiation environment monitoring, and in particular relates to a Bayesian characteristic peak recognition method for gamma energy spectrum data. Background Art

[0002] UAV-mounted and vehicle-mounted environmental radiation monitoring systems have a wide range of application scenarios in environmental monitoring and radiation emergency response, and are an important means of ensuring nuclear safety. However, due to the changing environmental background radiation level, unpredictable types and distances of radioactive sources, and limited detector volume and energy resolution, the detector system can usually only collect energy spectrum data with low count rates, large statistical fluctuations, and weak characteristic peaks in a short measurement time. The processing of this type of energy spectrum data, especially the reliable identification of characteristic gamma rays of interest in the energy spectrum data, is an urgent problem to be solved in this type of application.

[0003] Traditional qualitative analysis methods for energy spectrum data mainly use energy spectrum data peak finding algorithms based on derivatives or symmetric zero-area methods. Such algorithms are simple and efficient to implement, but the energy spectrum data to be processed must meet the requirements of smooth distribution. Usually, they can only process energy spectrum data with high counting rates and long measurement times. For gamma energy spectrum data with low counting rates and short measurement times, such methods usually have no practical value.

[0004] In recent years, the qualitative analysis of gamma energy spectrum data based on artificial intelligence algorithms has made certain breakthroughs. Among them, the model training-based method usually constructs a training sample set artificially, and extracts feature data from the measured energy spectrum data through analytical methods such as discrete cosine transform or wavelet transform, which is used to train a classifier to realize the identification of characteristic peaks. In addition, the Bayesian model-based method integrates the physical knowledge in the gamma detection process to establish a corresponding probability model for the measured energy spectrum data, and estimates the model parameters through measured data to complete the qualitative analysis of the characteristic peaks. Both have the potential to overcome the problem of gamma energy spectrum characteristic peak identification under low counting rate and short measurement time, but the former usually has high complexity and high model training and deployment costs, while the latter has good interpretability and flexible modeling, but the parameter inference process also has certain computational complexity. In summary, through the appropriate optimization of the Bayesian model, it is expected to develop a method with high recognition rate and practical ability. Summary of the invention

[0109] Embodiment 3

[0110] The inventive concept of the present invention is:

[0111] The method of the present invention mainly includes the following three features: establishment of energy measurement value distribution model in the characteristic peak interest interval, design of prior distribution selection and model parameter inference method, and design of multi-characteristic peak recognition program under multi-core CPU architecture.

[0112] 1. Establishment of energy measurement value distribution model within the characteristic peak interest interval

[0113] The characteristic peaks to be identified are defined as a set of peaks, as shown in formula (1), which contains information of a total of M characteristic peaks, each of which has two attribute values ​​and characteristic energy. and standard deviation , where m represents the sequence number of the characteristic peak in the set.

[0114]

[0115] The particle event sequence recorded by the gamma radiation detector is defined as a set Events, as shown in formula (2), which contains a total of N particle events. Each particle event has two properties: the measured energy and arrival time , where i is the particle event number.

[0116]

[0117] For the mth characteristic peak, specify an energy interval of interest and define the set of particle events in the energy interval as Events m , as shown in formula (3), which contains particle events, where k is the confidence coefficient.

[0118]

[0119] According to the interaction process between gamma rays and matter, Events m It is considered to be composed of two types of particle events. The first type is defined as a photoelectric event. This type of particle event is observed when a characteristic gamma ray is incident on the detector and the energy is completely deposited in the detector. Due to the limited energy resolution of the detector, the observed energy value follows a truncated Gaussian distribution within the characteristic peak energy interval of interest. The energy probability distribution of the photoelectric event is defined as , as shown in formula (4). Indicates support for , the mean is em, and the standard deviation is The probability density value of the truncated Gaussian distribution at e.

[0120]

[0121] The second type of particle event is defined as a Compton event, which is caused by other high-energy gamma rays incident on the detector, and part of the energy is deposited in the detector and observed. Its energy distribution Continuous smoothing within the characteristic peak interval of interest can be approximately expressed as a linear function, as shown in formula (5). and are the slope and intercept of the linear function respectively.

[0122]

[0123] Performing algebraic operations on formula (5), we can obtain and The conversion relationship is shown in formula (6).

[0124]

[0125] Substituting equation (6) into equation (5), we obtain equation (7).

[0126]

[0127] Events m The probability distribution of the neutrino event energy is defined as , as shown in formula (8), for and The weighted sum of , whose physical meaning corresponds to the peak-to-total ratio in the interval of interest.

[0128]

[0129] 2. Prior distribution selection and model parameter inference algorithm design

[0130] because Medium Parameters The maximum likelihood estimation of does not have an analytical solution, and it is difficult to design a maximum likelihood estimation algorithm for a mixed probability model. The present invention uses a Bayesian parameter estimation method to infer model parameters. and The posterior distribution of is defined as and , we get formula (9) by using the Bayesian formula.

[0131]

[0132] In order to reduce the computational complexity of parameter inference, the present invention is and All specify discrete type prior distributions, as shown in Table 1, where It obeys geometric distribution. Due to the location of the emission source information in the radiation field, the prior assumption is that within the characteristic peak interest interval, the probability of the characteristic peak existing or not is 0.5. For the case where the characteristic peak exists, the peak has a higher probability when it is at a lower ratio. On the contrary, it has a lower probability value. It obeys the discrete uniform distribution, and its value range is from 0 to The posterior distribution samples of the parameters are obtained by the Markov chain-Monte Carlo sampling method as in formula (10), and the mean of all samples is taken as the point estimate of the posterior distribution of the parameters.

[0133]

[0134] Table 1 Parameter prior distribution

[0135]

[0136] In a radiation field environment that does not contain the radioactive source to be detected, use a detector to perform repeated sampling 50 times at a specified measurement time t. Using the above model and parameter estimation method, calculate the estimated peak-to-total ratio of a characteristic peak to be identified in each data acquisition. Set the detection threshold from 0 to 1.0 with a step size of 0.01, calculate the false positive rate under the given threshold, and record the detection threshold when the false positive rate is less than a certain value as the identification parameter in the actual application process.

[0137] 3. Multi-feature peak recognition program design under multi-core CPU architecture

[0138] First, a database is established for the characteristic peaks to be identified. The characteristic energy of each characteristic peak can be queried by the nuclide information provided by the IAEA. The standard deviation is determined by the detector system. This value can be obtained from the test report provided by the manufacturer or calculated by the energy calibration coefficient, as shown in formula (11).

[0139]

[0140] Secondly, for each characteristic peak in each characteristic peak database, an identification pipeline is established. Each pipeline works in an independent thread with a unified workflow:

[0141] 1) Set the energy interval of interest of the corresponding characteristic peak according to the database, and filter the radiation particle events within the interval of interest from the collected data;

[0142] 2) Initialize model parameters, including characteristic peak parameters, parameter prior distribution and recognition threshold;

[0143] 3) Update the model posterior parameters based on the measured data;

[0144] 4) Determine whether the characteristic peak exists based on the recognition threshold.

[0145] Embodiment 4

[0146] This embodiment provides a specific implementation of the method of the present invention.

[0147] Building a gamma radiation detection system in a laboratory environment, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the experiment uses 137Cs and 60Co radioactive sources with activities of 80000Bq and 300000Bq respectively. The detector used is φ3''*3''NaI(Tl). Each radioactive source is placed separately next to the detector for measurement. The measurement time of the multi-channel analyzer is set to 1200 seconds, and the accumulated energy spectrum data is recorded. The accumulated energy spectrum data collected when the two radioactive sources are placed separately are used to calibrate the energy of the detector system, and the energy resolution of the detector system is calculated using the collected 137Cs source energy spectrum data. The result is 7.2%@661keV. According to the calibration information of the detector system, a database of characteristic peaks to be detected is established, as shown in Table 2.

[0148] Table 2 Characteristic peak database to be detected

[0149]

[0150] According to the characteristic peak database, initialize the characteristic peak recognition algorithm, such as Figure 3As shown in the figure, an independent recognition channel is established for each characteristic peak. Each recognition channel works in an independent thread. The characteristic peak to be detected, characteristic peak parameters, energy interest interval, prior distribution parameters, Markov chain-Monte Carlo sampling algorithm parameters (sampling number 2000 and burn-in sample size 1000), detection time and corresponding detection threshold are specified for the channel.

[0151] The detector system is placed in the environment to be detected, and the multi-analyzer is set to a fixed detection time for data sampling. After a data collection is completed, the characteristic peak recognition algorithm is used to process the data. Each recognition channel first intercepts the data in the interval of interest from the measured data, and obtains the posterior estimation of the model parameters through the parameter inference algorithm. The result is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the left side of the figure shows the result of MCMC sampling algorithm sampling from the posterior distribution of model parameters, and the right side shows the statistical histogram of the sampling results. The mean of the model parameters is calculated as the posterior estimation result of the model parameters and compared with the preset detection threshold. If w m If the detection threshold is exceeded, it is determined that the characteristic peak exists; otherwise, it is determined that the characteristic peak does not exist.

[0152] Embodiment 5

[0153] This embodiment provides a specific implementation of the method of the present invention.

[0154] Without placing any radioactive source, the detector was exposed to the measurement environment to measure the environmental background radiation. The measurement time of the multi-channel analyzer was set to 1800 seconds, and the energy spectrum data was recorded at a frequency of 1 Hz. According to the aforementioned characteristic peak database, the relevant parameters of the 661 keV characteristic peak were queried, a detection channel was established for the 661 keV characteristic peak, the corresponding model parameters were initialized, 50 groups of radiation particle events within 1s, 5s, 10s, 15s and 20s were randomly selected, and the parameters of each group of measurement data were estimated to obtain the corresponding peak-to-total ratio posterior estimation mean. The discrimination threshold was selected from the value interval of [0,1.0] with a step size of 0.02, and the error rate of different detection thresholds at different measurement times was tested. The detection thresholds when the error rate was less than 5% and 2% were recorded, as shown in Table 3. The measurement time and detection threshold in the table were used as reference values ​​for all characteristic peak identification. When establishing the detection algorithm, the peak-to-total ratio posterior estimation detection threshold used under different measurement times and a given error rate upper limit was obtained by looking up the table.

[0156]

[0157] Embodiment 6

[0158] This embodiment provides a specific implementation of the method of the present invention.

[0159] In the airborne environmental radiation monitoring application, a quad-rotor drone is used to mount a φ2*2-inch CeBr3 detector (energy resolution of 4%@661keV) and a multi-channel analyzer at a flight altitude of 5m. 137 Cs radioactive source, activity is 200mCi, the UAV flies along the Z trajectory in the airspace above the radioactive source, the flight speed is 1m / s, the multi-channel analyzer cumulative energy spectrum data recording frequency is set to 1Hz, the UAV sends the energy spectrum data and the GPS data at the sampling time to the ground computer through wireless communication, the ground computer runs the characteristic peak recognition algorithm proposed by the present invention, sets the left and right energy boundaries of the 661keV characteristic peak to [638.49keV, 683.5keV], and by querying Table 2, according to the 5% error rate, takes 0.24 as the model peak-to-background ratio posterior estimation detection threshold. The ground station computer processes the energy spectrum data recorded every second, identifies whether there is a characteristic peak at the sampling point, and renders the peak-to-total ratio posterior estimation result in the form of a heat map on the map, as shown in Figure 7 As shown. In contrast, the traditional energy spectrum data qualitative method cannot process the energy spectrum data with short measurement time and low count rate, which effectively improves the detection limit of characteristic peak identification in such applications and improves the spatial resolution of abnormal identification in environmental radiation monitoring. The recognition algorithm processes the data per second in an average of less than 2 seconds, achieving a near real-time processing speed, which is of practical value for airborne environmental radiation monitoring applications.
