[0036] The omnidirectional sky camera is designed to capture the entire airspace where the station is located, thus providing comprehensive and continuous meteorological observation data;
[0037] The analysis terminal can receive and analyze images transmitted by the camera in real time, and conduct joint analysis with atmospheric electric field data to improve the accuracy and real-time performance of meteorological observations.
[0038] Among the above-mentioned related modules, the omnidirectional sky camera module includes camera hardware and a shooting control unit, wherein the camera hardware includes a lens, an image sensor, an FPGA chip, etc. connected in sequence. The shooting control unit is connected to the image sensor and is responsible for setting the camera's shooting parameters, such as resolution, frame rate, shooting range, etc. The FPGA chip performs image preprocessing on the original image, and the image preprocessing is used to perform preliminary processing on the captured original image, such as denoising, color correction, etc.
[0039] The data transmission module mainly uses the FTP system, which is responsible for establishing a stable transmission channel with the terminal. It also includes the FPGA chip, which compresses and packages the spatial image data after pre-processing the original image, and controls the FTP transmission. The FPGA chip controls the data transmission of the FTP system to ensure that the image data is transmitted on time every 15 minutes.
[0040] The analysis terminal mainly includes the following functions: Image reception: responsible for receiving and processing image data transmitted from the FTP system.

[0047] Through the combination of the above modules and improved analysis methods, efficient and accurate meteorological observation and data analysis of the tower-based all-round sky camera system can be achieved.
[0048] The above contents are explained through the relevant implementation steps of the tower-based all-round sky camera system:
[0049] 1. System deployment and preparation
[0050] At a meteorological observation station in a certain mountain area, the present invention selected a 10-meter-high observation tower as the tower base. This location has a wide field of view and no obstructions, and can capture the entire airspace where the station is located. On the tower base, the present invention installed a high-definition omnidirectional sky camera, which was precisely adjusted to ensure that the camera can capture the entire sky in the area where the station is located. Subsequently, a data transmission module was configured near the camera, including a high-performance FPGA chip and an FTP system. The FPGA chip is configured to automatically capture an image every 15 minutes, and control and transmit it to a remote terminal in real time through the FTP system.
[0051] 2. System Operation and Image Acquisition
[0052] After the camera is turned on, it starts to continuously capture the sky. Every 15 minutes, the FPGA chip preprocesses the original image, including removing noise and correcting color, to improve image quality. The preprocessed image data, i.e., the airspace image, is transmitted to the storage server of the remote terminal through the FTP system. At the same time, the atmospheric electric field instrument is also continuously collecting atmospheric electric field data.
[0053] 3. Terminal Analysis and Joint Processing
[0054] At the remote terminal, after receiving the image data, the dedicated analysis module immediately stores it and associates it with the atmospheric electric field data. Through computer vision algorithms, the analysis terminal automatically identifies meteorological features such as cloud cover, precipitation, and snow in the image. Subsequently, these meteorological features are jointly analyzed with the atmospheric electric field data to find potential correlations between them. After comparison and analysis, the analysis terminal found that when the atmospheric electric field intensity reaches a certain threshold, the changes in cloud cover and precipitation show obvious patterns. The above patterns are fitted by historical data to generate thresholds for atmospheric electric field intensity data to determine whether the atmospheric electric field is abnormal, abnormal data and causes. Based on these analysis results, the terminal generates a detailed analysis report and presents it to meteorologists through an interactive analysis interface.
[0055] 4. System maintenance and management
[0056] In order to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the system, the present invention has formulated a regular inspection and maintenance plan. Every month, a professional team is sent to the observatory to conduct a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the camera, data transmission module and analysis terminal. At the same time, in order to ensure the security of the data, a data backup and recovery mechanism has been established. Every week, a full backup of the data is performed to prevent accidental loss. In addition, with the continuous deepening of meteorological research and technological advancement, the system is upgraded and optimized according to the latest research results and technological developments to improve its performance and accuracy.
[0057] Through this implementation case, we can see that the tower-based all-round sky camera system has shown powerful functions and potential in practical applications. It can not only observe and record sky conditions in real time, but also conduct joint analysis with atmospheric electric field data to provide strong support for meteorological research and forecasting. At the same time, through regular inspection and maintenance, as well as data backup and recovery, the stability of the system and the security of data are ensured. With the continuous advancement of technology and continuous optimization of the system, this tower-based all-round sky camera system will play a more important role in future meteorological observations and research.
[0058] Based on the tower-based all-round sky camera system, the above-mentioned related implementation steps are explained in detail:
[0059] 1. System deployment and preparation
[0060] 1. Choose a suitable tower base location: Choose a suitable tower base location at the atmospheric electric field observation site to ensure that the omnidirectional sky camera can capture the entire airspace where the site is located.
[0061] 2. Install an all-round sky camera: Figure 1-2As shown, install an omnidirectional sky camera on the tower base, and adjust the angle and height of the camera to ensure that the shooting range covers the entire airspace.
[0062] 3. Configure the data transmission module: Install the data transmission module near the camera, including the FPGA chip and the FTP system. Configure the FPGA chip so that it can automatically capture an image every 15 minutes and transmit it to the designated terminal through the FTP system.
[0063] 4. Configure relevant functions in the analysis terminal: Install dedicated analysis software on the terminal device to receive and jointly analyze the image data transmitted by the camera.
[0064] 2. System Operation and Image Acquisition
[0065] 1. Start the omnidirectional sky camera: Start the camera and start shooting the sky conditions at the site. The camera will shoot continuously according to the preset shooting parameters.
[0066] 2. Image preprocessing: The original image taken by the camera is preprocessed through the FPGA chip, including denoising, color correction, etc., to improve image quality.
[0067] 3. Image data transmission: Every 15 minutes, the FPGA chip packages the pre-processed image data, i.e., the spatial image data, and transmits it to the designated terminal through the FTP system, ensuring the stability and real-time performance of data transmission.
[0068] 3. Terminal Analysis and Joint Processing
[0069] 1. Receiving image data: The analysis terminal receives the airspace image data transmitted from the FTP system and stores it in the local database. At the same time, the analysis terminal also receives the atmospheric electric field data collected by the atmospheric electric field instrument.
[0070] 2. Image recognition and analysis: Use computer vision algorithms to automatically identify and analyze received images to extract key meteorological features such as cloud cover, precipitation, and snow amount.
[0071] Image recognition and analysis specifically include the following:
[0072] 1) Preprocessing enhancement: Before the spatial domain image enters the recognition and analysis stage, a more sophisticated preprocessing step is performed, including more advanced denoising algorithms (such as non-local mean denoising or deep learning denoising models), as well as more precise color correction and contrast enhancement techniques, to further improve the quality of the spatial domain image.
[0073] 2) Deep learning models: Use deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) or more advanced models (such as ResNet, EfficientNet, etc.) to automatically extract image features. These models are trained with a large amount of image data and can more accurately identify complex meteorological features such as cloud types, precipitation types, and snow distribution.
[0074] 3) Transfer learning: If the existing dataset is not sufficient to train a completely new model, you can consider using transfer learning. By leveraging a model pre-trained on a large image dataset (such as ImageNet) and fine-tuning it to adapt to a specific meteorological image recognition task, you can improve the generalization ability of the model, accelerate the convergence of the model, and improve performance.
[0075] 4) Multimodal fusion: When the information features of a single-frame image are insufficient, multimodal fusion extraction can be selected to change the input of the deep learning model from a single-frame image to multiple-frame images in a time series, extract meteorological features from the perspective of the time series through the deep learning model, or extract image features such as color, texture or shape of the airspace image before input, combine with the above time series, extract the image features of the enhanced airspace image of several consecutive frames, use it as the input data of the deep learning model, and output the corresponding meteorological features. Combine multiple image features (such as color, texture, shape, etc.) and time series data to improve the recognition accuracy of meteorological features. For example, by analyzing the changes in cloud types in multiple consecutive frames of images, cloud cover and precipitation trends can be estimated more accurately.
[0076] 5) Semi-supervised learning: training with a small amount of labeled data and a large amount of unlabeled data. This method can pre-train the model by applying self-supervised learning on unlabeled data (such as predicting image rotation angle, color transformation, etc.), and then fine-tune it on limited labeled data.
[0077] 6) Post-processing optimization: Before the recognition results are output, post-processing algorithms are applied to optimize the recognition results. This may include removing isolated small areas, smoothing boundaries, or making corrections based on context information.
[0078] 7) Continuous learning and updating: As new meteorological image data is continuously collected, the deep learning model should be able to continuously learn and update to adapt to changes in meteorological conditions and improvements in recognition tasks. This can be achieved through incremental learning or online learning methods.
[0079] 8) User feedback integration: Combine user feedback and expert knowledge to iteratively improve the deep learning model. This can be achieved by collecting user opinions, error reports or suggestions on recognition results and integrating them into the model training process.
[0080] 9) Model compression and acceleration: Apply deep learning model compression technologies, such as pruning, quantization, knowledge distillation, etc., to reduce the computational complexity and storage requirements of the model and improve the real-time performance of the system; use model acceleration technologies, such as using GPUs or dedicated accelerators for inference calculations, to further improve the processing speed of the system.
[0081] 3. Joint analysis: Jointly analyze the meteorological features obtained by image recognition with the atmospheric electric field data. By comparing the image data and the atmospheric electric field data, the correlation and regularity between them can be found.
[0082] The joint analysis specifically includes the following:
[0083] 1) Data matching:
[0084] Match the image recognition data (such as cloud cover, precipitation, snow amount, etc.) at the same time point with the atmospheric electric field data to ensure the temporal consistency of the two.
[0085] 2) Feature comparison:
[0086] On the basis of historical data, statistical analysis or regression fitting methods are used to compare the changing trends of meteorological features extracted by image recognition and atmospheric electric field data to find the correlation between them; for example, if it is found that the atmospheric electric field intensity also increases accordingly when the cloud cover increases, then there may be some correlation between the two. When there is some correlation between the meteorological features and the atmospheric electric field data, subsequent pattern recognition is performed.
[0087] 3) Pattern recognition:
[0088] Based on historical data, statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms are used to identify the potential patterns or regularities between meteorological characteristics and atmospheric electric field data; statistical analysis is performed to determine whether there is a fitting relationship between meteorological characteristics and atmospheric electric field data. If there is a fitting relationship, it is saved as a sample and the machine learning algorithm is trained to identify different abnormal change patterns of electric field data according to different meteorological characteristics, or to identify meteorological characteristics under abnormal electric field, so as to determine the potential patterns or regularities between meteorological characteristics and atmospheric electric field data. This includes the electric field change pattern under different meteorological conditions, or the relationship between electric field anomalies and specific weather phenomena.
[0089] 4) Anomaly Detection:
[0090] Based on historical data and the potential patterns or laws in the above pattern recognition, a threshold is preset, and abnormal values in the atmospheric electric field data are detected according to the preset threshold; combined with the meteorological features in the image data, it is determined whether the abnormal values are caused by meteorological features, or abnormal values may be caused by other circumstances other than meteorological features, and the meteorological conditions or phenomena that the abnormal values may correspond to are analyzed, such as lightning activities, storms, etc. The joint analysis ultimately results in the analysis results of meteorological features, the association or pattern between meteorological features and atmospheric electric fields, and the abnormal data and causes of atmospheric electric fields.
[0091] Regarding the anomaly detection content, the present invention can introduce more advanced anomaly detection algorithms, such as autoencoders based on deep learning, first-class classifiers, etc., to detect anomalies in image data and atmospheric electric field data.
[0092] In the present invention, joint analysis is an innovative point of joint analysis of image data and atmospheric electric field data, which is closely integrated with other steps. The joint analysis is performed after receiving the image data and atmospheric electric field data. How to collect and transmit these data is the basis and input of the joint analysis; the result of the joint analysis will depend on the accuracy and completeness of these data. Image recognition and analysis provide key meteorological feature information for joint analysis; the joint analysis compares and analyzes these features with the atmospheric electric field data to find the relationship between them. The result of the joint analysis is an important basis for generating an analysis report; the meteorological feature analysis, abnormal cause judgment, etc. in the analysis report are all based on the results of the joint analysis. The results of the joint analysis are displayed to the user through an interactive analysis interface to help the user understand the relationship between meteorological conditions and the atmospheric electric field; user feedback can guide the further optimization and improvement of the joint analysis.
[0093] 4. Generate analysis report: Generate a detailed analysis report based on the results of the joint analysis. The report includes the analysis results of meteorological characteristics, the cause of the atmospheric electric field anomaly, and the corresponding recommended measures.
[0094] 5. Results display and feedback: The analysis report is displayed to the user through an interactive analysis interface. The user can provide feedback based on the report results, and the system will make corresponding adjustments and optimizations based on the feedback.
[0095] 4. System maintenance and management include the following:
[0096] (1) Regular inspection and maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain the functions of the omnidirectional sky camera, data transmission module, and analysis terminal to ensure their normal operation.
[0097] (2) Data backup and recovery: The received image data and atmospheric electric field data are backed up regularly to prevent data loss. At the same time, a data recovery mechanism is established to ensure timely recovery when data is lost or damaged.
[0098] (3) System upgrade and optimization: The system is upgraded and optimized based on the latest meteorological data and image data, including improving the image recognition algorithm, i.e. the deep learning model, optimizing the data transmission module, etc., to improve the performance and accuracy of the system.
[0099] At the same time, in order to better improve the service performance of the system, the following technical solutions are proposed:
[0100] 1. Incremental learning and online updating:
[0101] Using incremental learning technology, the analysis terminal can update and improve its internal deep learning model in real time when it receives new meteorological data and image data, without the need to retrain the entire system.
[0102] 2. Data enhancement and expansion:
[0103] Apply data enhancement technology to increase the diversity of training data sets through operations such as rotation, translation, and scaling, thereby improving the generalization ability of deep learning models; use data expansion technology, combined with simulation and synthetic data, to increase the size of the data set and further improve the performance of deep learning models.
[0104] 3. Modular design and component replacement:
[0105] The system is decomposed into multiple independent modules, which are divided and encapsulated into different modules according to the above-mentioned models or data processing functions. Each module is responsible for different functions, such as data preprocessing, feature extraction, model training, etc.; when the performance of a module no longer meets the requirements, the module can be replaced individually without the need to reconstruct the entire system.
[0106] Through the above specific implementation methods, the tower-based all-round sky camera system can effectively realize real-time meteorological observation and data analysis at the atmospheric electric field observation site. The system provides strong support for meteorological research and forecasting through all-round shooting and precise joint analysis, helps to timely discover and predict abnormal meteorological events, and provides a scientific basis for relevant decision-making.

If there is a fitting relationship, save it as a sample, train the machine learning algorithm, and identify different abnormal change patterns of electric field data according to different meteorological characteristics, or identify meteorological characteristics under electric field anomalies, so as to determine the potential patterns or laws between meteorological characteristics and atmospheric electric field data; potential patterns or laws include electric field change patterns under different meteorological conditions, or the relationship between electric field anomalies and specific weather phenomena; 4) Anomaly Detection: Based on historical data and the potential patterns or laws existing in the above-mentioned pattern recognition, a threshold is preset, and based on the preset threshold, anomalies in the atmospheric electric field data are detected; combined with the meteorological characteristics in the image data, it is determined whether the anomalies are caused by meteorological characteristics, or whether the anomalies may be caused by other circumstances other than meteorological characteristics, and the meteorological conditions or phenomena corresponding to the anomalies are analyzed, where the phenomena are lightning activities or storms; the joint analysis ultimately results in the meteorological characteristic analysis results, the correlation or pattern between the meteorological characteristics and the atmospheric electric field, and the abnormal data and causes of the atmospheric electric field.
