[0003] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an airport runway anti-intrusion warning control method.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] In a first aspect, an airport runway anti-intrusion early warning control method according to the present invention comprises:

[0006] S1. Collect laser point cloud image signals and high-definition images of the airport runway;

[0007] S2. Identify the collected laser point cloud image signals of the airport runway through a computer to determine whether there is a risk of a moving object entering the airport runway;

[0035] Figure 2 It is a structural schematic block diagram of the airport runway anti-intrusion warning control system of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the airport runway anti-intrusion early warning control method described in the present invention includes the following steps:

[0038] Step S1. Collect laser point cloud image signals and high-definition image pictures of the airport runway.

[0039] In one practicable manner, the method of collecting laser point cloud image signals of an airport runway includes: (1) a plurality of laser transmitters are arranged in a row on the airport runway, and the laser pulse signals emitted by the laser transmitters arranged in a row together constitute a scanning plane, respectively scanning the airport runway and its surroundings 360° and 15° up and down; (2) receiving laser echo signals of all laser transmitters through a laser receiver, forming a laser point cloud image signal, and transmitting the signal to a computer;

[0040] The collecting of high-definition images of the airport runway is specifically: using a high-definition PTZ camera to shoot the real-time status of the high-definition images of the airport runway and the connecting road, and transmitting them to the computer. More specifically, the high-definition PTZ camera is arranged directly above the laser transmitter to shoot the status of the airport runway and the connecting road at 360° without blind spots, and the high-definition PTZ camera has optical zoom, digital zoom, infrared function and intelligent recognition function of objects passing on the runway.

[0041] Step S2. Using a computer to identify the collected laser point cloud image signal of the airport runway, determine whether there is a risk of a moving object entering the airport runway;

[0042] If yes, an alarm message is issued and step S3 is executed:

[0043] If no, proceed to step S1;

[0044] The method of identifying the collected laser point cloud image signals of the airport runway by a computer to determine whether there is a risk of a moving object entering the airport runway is specifically as follows:

[0045] S2-1. The computer receives the laser point cloud image signal transmitted by the laser receiver, and processes and displays the laser point cloud image (specifically, the laser point cloud image signal is first filtered and amplified, and then converted into a laser point cloud image for display), and the laser point cloud image is defined as a first laser point cloud image;

[0046] S2-2. The computer continues to receive the laser point cloud image signal transmitted by the laser receiver, and processes and displays the laser point cloud image (specifically, the laser point cloud image signal is first filtered and amplified, and then converted into a laser point cloud image for display), and the laser point cloud image is defined as the second laser point cloud image;

[0047] S2-3. Compare the first laser point cloud image with the second laser point cloud image, and judge whether there is a risk of a moving object entering the airport runway by the difference between the first laser point cloud image and the second laser point cloud image; specifically: the computer first performs point cloud segmentation on the first laser point cloud image and the second laser point cloud image to divide them into different parts or objects; then edge detection is performed on each segmented part or object to identify the contour of each part or object, wherein if the identified object contour is determined to be an airplane, it is marked with an airplane icon on the computer display screen, and vehicles and personnel are also displayed as corresponding similar icons, so that the intelligently recognized image is easy for the on-duty personnel to distinguish; finally, the contours of each part or object of the first laser point cloud image are compared with the contours of the corresponding parts or objects in the second laser point cloud image. If there is a difference, it is determined that there is a moving object entering the airport runway and there is a risk; if there is no difference, it is determined that there is no moving object entering the airport runway and there is no risk; wherein the segmentation algorithm for performing point cloud segmentation on the first laser point cloud image and the second laser point cloud image includes region-based segmentation, geometry-based segmentation, and deep learning-based segmentation.

[0048] Step S3. The computer retrieves the corresponding high-definition image of the risk of a moving object entering the airport runway according to the warning information, and identifies the high-definition image to confirm whether there is a moving object illegally intruding the airport runway;

[0049] If yes, proceed to step S4;

[0050] If no, the alarm is cleared and step S1 is executed;

[0051] Step S4. Processing the moving object that illegally intrudes the airport runway, specifically: the computer sends a processing notice to the airport staff, including suspending the use of the airport runway and removing the moving object that illegally intrudes the airport runway.

[0052] By means of the airport runway anti-intrusion warning control method of the present invention, the safety of the airport runway can be monitored, and intrusion into the airport runway can be effectively prevented, thereby improving the timeliness of the airport field support warning and processing, thereby improving and ensuring the safety of aircraft take-off and landing, and improving the safety level of airport operations.

[0054] The laser transmitter 100 is used to collect laser point cloud image signals of the airport runway, and is arranged in a row on the airport runway, and has a 360° scanning function around and 15° up and down, and the laser pulse signals emitted by the laser transmitters arranged in a row together constitute a scanning plane; the high-definition pan-tilt camera 200 is used to collect high-definition images of the airport runway, and has 360° no-dead-angle shooting, optical zoom, digital zoom, infrared function and intelligent recognition function of objects passing on the runway; the computer 300 is used to identify the collected laser point cloud image signals of the airport runway, determine whether there is a risk of a moving object entering the airport runway, and when there is a risk of a moving object entering the airport runway, retrieve the corresponding high-definition image screen with the risk of a moving object entering the airport runway, and identify the high-definition image screen to confirm whether there is a moving object illegally intruding the airport runway, and when it is confirmed that a moving object has illegally intruded the airport runway, send a processing notice to the airport staff; the memory 400 is used to store the laser point cloud image signal data and high-definition image screen data of the airport runway, as well as the risk processing record of the moving object entering the airport runway.

[0055] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
