BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for the description of the embodiments. Obviously, the following drawings are some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can also be obtained based on these drawings.

[0033] Figure 1 is the implementation flow schematic diagram of the present invention;

[0034] Figure 2 is the structural schematic diagram of the multi-modal neural network; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0035] In order to be able to more clearly understand the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention, the following further describes the present invention in conjunction with embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0036] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0037] Embodiment. To improve the accuracy and efficiency of road guardrail status detection, promptly discover potential problems with guardrails, and ensure road traffic safety, this embodiment adopts a road guardrail status detection method based on artificial intelligence. The implementation process of the present invention is as follows Figure 1 as shown.

[0038] First, data collection is carried out. A machine vision system equipped with a high-resolution camera is installed on a patrol vehicle to collect images of the road guardrail at a certain frequency to ensure clear and comprehensive guardrail image information is obtained. Multiple ultrasonic sensors are installed on the patrol vehicle, evenly distributed around the vehicle, for real-time detection of the distance data between the guardrail and the sensors, covering all parts of the guardrail comprehensively. At the same time, a high-precision lidar is installed to collect the three-dimensional point cloud data of the guardrail to obtain the three-dimensional shape and spatial position information of the guardrail.

[0039] To improve the image quality and highlight the guardrail details and potential problem areas. The present invention uses an improved U-Net network architecture to perform intelligent enhancement processing on the machine vision image data. First, the input image is I(x,y), and the output feature map of the l-th layer of the encoder is The output feature map of the l-th layer of the decoder is The calculation formula of the encoder is where represents the l-th layer convolution operation of the encoder. The calculation formula of the decoder is where represents the l-th layer convolution operation of the decoder, represents the splicing operation of the feature maps; then multi-scale feature fusion is carried out and an attention mechanism is introduced. In the loss function, the loss function consists of the mean square loss function the structural similarity index loss function L ssim =1 - SSIM(I enhanced , I ideal ), the perceptual loss function and the adversarial loss function L adv =log(1 - D(I enhanced )) + log(D(I ideal ))), where II enhanced I ideal are the original image, the enhanced image, and the ideal enhanced image respectively. Φ represents the features extracted by the pre-trained neural network, and D is the discriminator network used to distinguish the enhanced image from the ideal enhanced image. Then the total loss function L = αL mse + βL ssim + γL perceptual + δL adv, where α, β, γ, and δ are weight coefficients; finally, after improvement, the collected images are input into the network and the enhanced images are output. This processing method can fuse multi-scale features and attention mechanisms, automatically learn the optimal enhancement method, improve the clarity, contrast, and accuracy of the images, and provide more reliable information for subsequent guardrail status detection.

[0040] Then, for the purpose of improving the accuracy of the distance data of the ultrasonic sensor by improving the adaptive filtering to remove noise interference, first is the filter structure design. The finite impulse response filter structure is adopted, and its output is where d(t - i) is the distance data sequence, t represents time, N is the length of the filter, and ω i (t) is the coefficient of the filter at time t; secondly, based on the gradient descent method, combined with the momentum term and the learning rate adjustment strategy to update the filter coefficients where μ is the learning rate, is the gradient of the loss function L with respect to the coefficient ω i (t), and α is the momentum coefficient; the learning rate is adjusted according to the exponentially decaying learning rate adjustment strategy μ(t) = μ 0 γ t , where μ 0 is the initial learning rate, and γ is the decay coefficient; finally, after improvement, the new data is input into the filter, and the output of the filter is calculated.

[0041] In addition, to accurately extract the point cloud data of the guardrail for more precise analysis of the guardrail status, the present invention uses improved clustering analysis to quickly separate the point cloud of the guardrail from the surrounding environment. First, feature extraction is performed. For each point p i , its normal vector n i and curvature c i are calculated. The similarity measure between points is defined considering the similarity of spatial distance and local features. The comprehensive similarity measure formula s(p i , p j ) = αd(p i , p j ) + β|cosθ i,j | + γ|c i - c j | is used, where is the spatial distance, θ i,j is the angle between point p i and p jThe angles between the normal vectors are α, β, and γ, which are weight coefficients. Then, a density-based clustering algorithm is used. An unlabeled point is selected as the seed point, and its neighborhood points are determined according to the similarity metric. If the number of neighborhood points is greater than the threshold, these points are labeled as the same cluster, and the cluster is continuously expanded. Repeat the steps until all points are labeled. Finally, based on the prior features of the guardrail's shape and height range, the clustering results are screened to separate the point cloud belonging to the guardrail. This measure can combine the prior features of the guardrail, such as shape and height range, to quickly and accurately separate the guardrail point cloud, improve the efficiency and accuracy of subsequent processing, and reduce the cases of misjudgment and missed judgment.

[0042] Considering that the multi-modal fusion neural network may have defects such as insufficient fusion of different modal data and difficulty in effectively using prior knowledge. The advantage of introducing the knowledge graph for enhanced fusion is that it can better guide feature extraction and fusion, enhance the fusion of key information, and enable the network to more accurately output the comprehensive guardrail status feature vector. The structure of the multi-modal fusion neural network is as Figure 2 shown. First, a guardrail knowledge graph G=(V, E) is constructed, where V is the set of nodes and E is the set of edges. For image data, a convolutional neural network is used for feature extraction. For distance data, a fully connected network is used for feature extraction. For 3D point cloud data, a point cloud processing network is used for feature extraction. In the state detection of road guardrails in this embodiment, for the image data collected by machine vision, the convolutional neural network slides the convolutional kernel on the image, multiplies and sums with the elements in the local area of the image, and extracts more abstract features as the network deepens. Features such as texture and shape are extracted from the guardrail image to provide a basis for subsequent judgment of the guardrail status. For the distance data of the ultrasonic sensor, the fully connected network takes it as the input, and the neurons are fully connected and processed through linear transformation by the weight matrix and the activation function to extract features such as the change trend of the distance between the guardrail and the sensor to assist in judging whether there is a displacement of the guardrail. For the 3D point cloud data collected by the lidar, the point cloud processing network first calculates features such as the normal vector and curvature of each point, and then integrates the spatial information. By analyzing the spatial distribution features of the guardrail point cloud, the integrity and shape change of the guardrail are judged.

[0043] Secondly, a fusion function is defined. The fused comprehensive feature vector is where F merge is the fusion operation function, G represents the knowledge graph, are the feature extractions enhanced by image, distance, and point cloud data respectively. Then, the fusion operation is carried out. In the weighted summation method, the fused feature vector is where ω I , ω D , ω Pis the weight coefficient, and its weight is set according to the information in the knowledge graph, and is set according to the connection strength between nodes and the importance factors of edges. There are nodes A and B in the knowledge graph, and the edge weight between them is ω AB In the detection of the guardrail state, if the data related to A has a strong impact on the final result, then a larger weight is given to the data corresponding to it during fusion; finally, after the feature fusion guided by the knowledge graph, a comprehensive guardrail state feature vector is obtained for subsequent guardrail state judgment and analysis.

[0044] Finally, the present invention considers introducing an evaluation method that combines fuzzy logic and an expert system. According to various indicators in the fusion feature vector, fuzzy reasoning and decision-making are carried out to determine the final state of the guardrail. First, a fuzzy logic system is established, the input variables for evaluating the guardrail state are determined and fuzzy sets are defined for each input variable, the output variable is determined as the guardrail state and its fuzzy set is defined, and the fuzzy rule R is determined according to expert experience and knowledge i :IFC img isA i ANDD dist isB i ANDI pc isC i THENS fence isD i where A i ,B i ,C i ,D i are the fuzzy sets of the corresponding variables respectively, C img ,D dist ,I pc ,S fenceThey are respectively the image feature index, the distance feature index, and the point cloud feature index. Then, the input variables are fuzzified, converting the specific input values into the membership degrees of the corresponding fuzzy sets, followed by fuzzy inference, and then defuzzified to convert into the specific road guardrail status value. The implementation method of the fuzzy rules is to first determine the fuzzy rules based on expert experience and knowledge. These rules are based on the fuzzy sets of the input variables including the image feature index, the distance feature index, and the point cloud feature index, as well as the fuzzy set of the output variable including the guardrail status. Then, the input variables are fuzzified, converting the specific numerical values into the membership degrees of the corresponding fuzzy sets. Then, fuzzy inference is carried out according to the fuzzy rules, and the inference result is obtained by comprehensively considering the membership degrees of each input variable. Finally, defuzzification is performed to convert the inference result into the specific road guardrail status value, thereby determining the final status of the guardrail. Next, an expert knowledge database is established to store various rules, experiences, and cases regarding the judgment of the guardrail status, which are used to supplement and correct the results of the fuzzy logic system. Finally, based on the comprehensive results of the fuzzy logic and the expert system, the final status of the guardrail is determined. This way of status judgment and analysis can fully consider the uncertainty and fuzziness of various indicators in the fusion feature vector, and perform more flexible reasoning and decision-making. Combining the knowledge and experience of the expert system can improve the accuracy and reliability of the evaluation and more accurately determine the final status of the guardrail.

Any person skilled in the art may use the technical content disclosed above to make changes or modifications into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes and apply them to other fields. However, as long as it does not depart from the technical solution content of the present invention, any simple modification, equivalent change, and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
