DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0060] The application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0061] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 A method for ancient building health monitoring and intelligent management, comprising the following steps:

[0062] Step 1: Traverse the information elements of ancient buildings, study the diachronic state influencing factors of ancient buildings, and determine the influencing factors and their influence degrees.

[0063] Specifically, the construction year, material, structure, use environment, historical maintenance record, and surrounding environmental changes of the ancient building are studied in depth, and the long-term influence of these factors on the ancient building is analyzed.

[0064] Determine the impact factor, including but not limited to: natural factors: rainfall, temperature, humidity, etc.; Human factors: changes in use, maintenance, and other environmental pollution; Building itself factors: material aging, structural defects, pests, weathering, etc.

[0065] By analyzing each factor, a multi-factor impact factor evaluation model of the health status of ancient buildings is established, the comprehensive safety performance of the building state is quantitatively described, the data self-association analysis between different parts and levels is realized, the impact factor coupling database is formed, and the impact factor and its impact degree are finally determined.

[0066] Step 2: According to the impact factor and the impact degree, a health status grading system for ancient buildings is established.

[0067] Preferably, the health status of ancient buildings is divided into the following four levels:

[0068] Level 1: Normal (represented by green), no obvious abnormalities, good condition;

[0069] Level 2: Warning (represented by yellow), slight damage, local appearance of slight cracks, weathering, shedding or biological invasion, etc.

[0070] Level 3: Danger (represented by red), moderate damage, with obvious structural problems such as large area cracks, deformation, etc.

[0071] Level 4: Emergency (represented by purple), severe damage, with major safety hazards, requiring emergency repair or reinforcement.

[0072] Step 3: Integrate various information elements of ancient buildings to form an ancient building protection database, and use database layering design to store static data and dynamic data in different levels of database, improving the performance and management efficiency of the ancient building protection database.

[0073] In order to improve the performance and management efficiency of the ancient building protection database, ensure the rapid reading and updating of data. Use the existing technology of database layering design to layer the ancient building protection database, respectively for storing static data and dynamic data.

[0074] Among them, the static data includes the basic information of ancient buildings, such as building age, material, structure, historical maintenance record, etc.; Dynamic data includes real-time monitoring data, environmental change record, etc.

[0075] Step 4: According to the impact factor, design the software and hardware implementation functions of the device for the health monitoring and intelligent management of ancient buildings, use sensors, cameras, drones and other equipment to monitor the structure and environmental conditions of ancient buildings, and develop network management.

[0076] The structure monitoring of ancient buildings can be realized by using strain gauges, displacement sensors, static water levels, etc.

[0077] The surrounding environment monitoring of ancient buildings can be realized by using temperature sensors, humidity sensors, wind sensors, and light sensors, etc.

[0078] The vibration and air pollution monitoring of ancient buildings can be realized by using vibration sensors and gas sensors, etc.

[0079] The appearance monitoring of ancient buildings can be realized by using visual recognition cameras and infrared cameras, etc., to record changes in building appearance and behavior judgment.

[0080] The monitoring range of ancient buildings can be expanded by using drones, which can be used for high-altitude photography, inspection, and obtaining more comprehensive information.

[0081] The monitoring implementation equipment of ancient buildings can be selected adaptively according to actual monitoring needs.

[0082] Step 5: Based on the twin engine, a smart management platform is designed and developed to connect each port with cloud services, realize data storage, calculation and analysis, improve system processing capacity, and form data visualization boards.

[0083] By connecting each port with cloud services, using the WDP (Wireless Datagram Protocol) platform to obtain JSON data through URL (uniform resource locator), and performing data filtering and data mapping, data storage, calculation and analysis are realized, data visualization boards are formed, and data analysis results are more intuitively displayed. By improving system processing capacity, efficient processing of large amounts of data is ensured, and real-time transmission of monitoring data is realized.

[0084] The twin engine is a common tool for data platform development, and the development process of the smart management platform will not be described here. The management functions of the smart management platform can be adaptively developed according to actual use needs, such as:

[0085] Model management: mainly includes model uploading, model viewing, model updating, component attribute information modification, etc. of the real scene twin model of ancient buildings.

[0086] Data collection: through the connection of each sensor port, various monitoring data of ancient buildings are collected, including environmental data, structural data, material data, image data, etc.

[0087] Device management: manages IoT device shielding devices, controls the autonomous take-off and landing, transfer, inspection, state monitoring, wireless charging, etc. of drones.

[0088] Data management: For the management and data processing of ancient building protection database, the ancient building protection database includes damage characteristics and thresholds, early warning classification system, and measure recommendations. Data processing involves processing, analyzing, and mining the collected data to extract key information, including data cleaning, data conversion, feature extraction, and data modeling.

[0089] Intelligent identification: Identify various features of ancient buildings, such as cracks, corrosion, and deformation. Use existing image recognition and deep learning technologies to classify, analyze, and automatically identify the diseases of ancient buildings. Use automated machine identification methods to improve monitoring efficiency and reduce human error.

[0090] Behavior monitoring: Use existing video monitoring and behavior prediction technologies to identify potential risks.

[0091] Monitoring analysis: Simulate and analyze ancient buildings based on monitoring data to predict their state changes under different conditions.

[0092] Self-warning: Based on monitoring data and analysis results, send warning information and its level when the monitoring data exceeds the preset threshold. Take appropriate protective measures according to different warning levels.

[0093] Visual management: Use various visualization tools such as charts, maps, and models to visually display the health status of ancient buildings. You can also implant AR virtual display scenarios.

[0094] User management: System administrator, professional maintenance personnel account (maintenance account), and external guest account (visitor account). Maintenance accounts can manage all functions according to permissions. Visitor accounts are used for external guests to experience visual functions such as virtual displays and provide suggestions and problem reports to improve public participation in protection.

[0095] Step 6: Establish a real scene twin model of the target ancient building using a combination of forward and reverse methods. According to the characteristics of the ancient building model, the real scene twin model is converted into hierarchical levels.

[0096] Preferably, a hierarchical data structure such as a tree structure can be used for easy management and call, and compression technology can be used to reduce the storage space and calculation amount of the real scene twin model, improve the loading speed and storage efficiency.

[0097] Step 7: Deploy sensors according to the characteristics of the monitored ancient building and test the network. Use IoT device shielding devices to integrate into the ancient building.

[0098] According to the structural characteristics and monitoring requirements of ancient buildings, the sensors are arranged reasonably, and the number and type of sensors can be adjusted adaptively according to actual monitoring requirements. The sensors are installed in the IoT device shielding device and hidden in the ancient buildings and their environment through the IoT device shielding device, and each sensor can fully cover the key parts of the ancient buildings that need to be monitored. By using the IoT device shielding device, the sensors and related equipment are integrated into the ancient buildings, avoiding affecting the structure, appearance and environment of the ancient buildings. Network testing is performed to ensure the stability and accuracy of data transmission.

[0099] In the selection of sensors, according to the different monitoring data required, low-power sensors with high precision, stability and anti-interference are selected, and appropriate sampling mechanisms are set (such as setting threshold value, when the value changes beyond the normal range, the transmission signal is started), which can capture key changes without causing data redundancy and saving energy consumption.

[0100] In the installation position of the sensor, the sensor is installed in a position that is not easy to be found, so as to avoid affecting the appearance of the building.

[0101] In the installation method of the sensor, combined with the design of the IoT device shielding device, materials similar to the materials of the ancient buildings are selected with classical element design to enhance the overall coordination with the ancient buildings. Detachable connection methods such as hoop and buckle are adopted for easy maintenance and replacement.

[0102] Finally, a point multi-star Lora gateway of existing technology is used for network development to build a high-speed and reliable network infrastructure to ensure real-time transmission and centralized processing of monitoring data collected by sensors. At the same time, a perfect sensor management system is established to regularly maintain and calibrate the sensors to ensure data accuracy and reliability.

[0103] The real scene twin model constitutes a virtual entity of the ancient building, and the real scene twin model includes a model of the ancient building and a sensor model.

[0104] Step 8: Encode combination and information mapping according to the characteristics of the real scene twin model, bind the sensor data and the real scene twin model by using the encoding system, and locate the data source.

[0105] Specifically, for the characteristics of ancient buildings, the real scene twin model is converted by hierarchical conversion (such as wall model, beam column model, etc.), and through the coding system, the unique ID is assigned to each component by using coding combination and information mapping technology. The sensing data is bound to the real scene twin model, so that it can realize the positioning mapping of monitoring data on the intelligent management platform, which is convenient for visual analysis and positioning of monitoring data, for example: mapping the temperature sensor data to the wall model to display the temperature distribution of the wall; mapping the displacement sensor data to the beam column model to display the deformation of the beam column.

[0106] Step 9: Select an appropriate position around the ancient building and install an unmanned aerial vehicle automatic start-stop transfer device. Use the RTK (Real-time kinematic, i.e. real-time dynamic carrier phase difference technology) and visual recognition equipment carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle to link with the unmanned aerial vehicle control system to autonomously control the unmanned aerial vehicle to conduct high-precision inspection of the ancient building, expanding the monitoring range.

[0107] The unmanned aerial vehicle carries the existing RTK and visual recognition equipment, wireless control system, etc. for the interaction of monitoring data and control instructions. The wireless control system can be linked with the intelligent management platform through wireless network to realize automatic control, data transmission and analysis of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0108] The RTK and visual recognition equipment conduct high-precision image acquisition of the ancient building and its surrounding environment, and identify target objects in the image, such as identifying changes in the appearance of the ancient building, including cracks, falling off, deformation, etc. At the same time, it links with the control system of the unmanned aerial vehicle to autonomously control the unmanned aerial vehicle to expand the monitoring range and perspective and improve the inspection efficiency.

[0109] Step 10: Transmit the monitoring data of the sensor and the inspection data collected by the unmanned aerial vehicle to the intelligent management platform. The intelligent management platform cleans and preprocesses the collected monitoring data to eliminate noise and outliers, improving the quality of the monitoring data.

[0110] Preferably, data handling rules can be pre-set to clean and preprocess the collected data, remove noise, duplicate data, etc. to improve data quality. Identify and process outliers in the data, such as abnormal data caused by sensor failure. Perform conversion, standardization, etc. on the data to extract key feature information and perform dimensionality reduction to improve data analysis efficiency and provide accurate and reliable data for subsequent analysis.

[0111] Step 11: Feature extraction and pattern recognition are performed on the cleaned and preprocessed data, and a visual dashboard is generated by fusion. Connect the protection threshold database. When the monitored data reaches each hierarchical threshold, an early warning information is issued and the corresponding early warning measures are responded.

[0112] The key feature values are extracted from the pretreated data, compared and analyzed with the protection threshold database, and the change trend and potential risk of the ancient building health state are identified. When the monitored data reaches the threshold of each classification, the system will automatically respond to the corresponding early warning measures. At the same time, the analysis results are fused to generate a visual dashboard, and the monitoring data is presented in the form of charts, maps, models, etc., to intuitively display the health status and early warning information of the ancient building.

[0113] The early warning information is reminded through the PC and mobile terminals of the intelligent management platform, and disposal measures are suggested based on the database, realizing timely early warning and intervention, and ensuring the health monitoring effect of the ancient building. Through intelligent control of ventilation, lighting, temperature, etc. of the ancient building, the environmental conditions are improved, and the aging of the building is delayed. The existing VR / AR technology can also be used to simulate repair schemes, reduce repair costs and risks.

[0114] The early warning information and its early warning measures are summarized and improved, and the summarized and improved information is used as the optimized data for data cleaning and preprocessing operation of the intelligent management platform. Based on deep neural network learning technology, the project is optimized in a closed loop, improving the accuracy of subsequent ancient building monitoring and inspection.
