BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0042] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for use in the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying creative labor.
[0043] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of a method for monitoring the status of an intelligent bridge guardrail according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0044] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0045] Embodiment 1
[0046] The present invention provides a method for monitoring the state of an intelligent bridge guardrail. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0047] Step S1, intercepting several images of the guardrail of the bridge to be monitored as original images, detecting the appearance of the original images, and obtaining the first information of the guardrail, specifically includes:
[0048] The original image is preprocessed to obtain a preprocessed image; the SPP structure is used to expand the feature information of the preprocessed image.
[0049] Preprocessing mainly includes denoising and filtering. Wavelet denoising and mean filtering can be used to obtain a preprocessed image.
[0050] The present invention is based on the YOLOX algorithm. In the YOLOX detection process, the feature extraction part uses the SPP structure. However, the current SPP structure has less pixel information and the feature volume to be extracted is small, which makes it easy to miss the detection. Therefore, the present invention replaces the MaxPool in SPP with SoftPool pooling to extract features in YOLOX.
[0051] In the process of using the SPP structure to expand the feature information of the preprocessed image, SoftPool is used to replace the MaxPool in the SPP structure, and the pixel values in the image area R are weighted and summed proportionally to obtain the pooling result expressed as:
[0052]
[0053] in,
[0054] Use the channel attention mechanism to extract the image features of the preprocessed image after expanding the feature information; complete the appearance detection of the original image based on the image features. Use efficient channel attention to assign weight values to feature channels through compression and excitation operations. Use FC to reduce the dimension and extract channel attention information.
[0055] At the end of the YOLOX algorithm, the loss function is used to optimize feature extraction, and finally the GIoU loss function is used for optimization to achieve feature positioning.
[0056]
[0057] Among them, C represents the minimum external bounding box covering the predicted box and the real box. However, when the predicted box and the real box have an inclusion relationship, GIoU will degenerate into IoU, B gt and B represent the true box and predicted box.
[0058] Step S2: Based on the original image, determine the structure of the bridge guardrail and obtain the second information of the guardrail. Because the structure of the guardrail is simple and the structures of almost all guardrails are the same or similar, the structure of the guardrail can be obtained mainly by cutting out the edges of the guardrail in the original image and connecting the edges.
[0059] In addition to obtaining the structure of the guardrail, it is also necessary to obtain the material of the guardrail to facilitate the calculation of the weight of the guardrail. The degree of embedment of the guardrail also needs to be recorded.
[0060] Step S3, obtaining environmental information of the bridge to be monitored as the third information of the guardrail, performing finite element analysis of the bridge guardrail based on the second information, the second information and the third information, and obtaining analysis results, specifically including:
[0061] After fusing the first information and the second information, data enhancement is performed, and the Kriging interpolation enhancement algorithm is used on the fused information after data enhancement to obtain a grid space lattice; a bridge guardrail simulation model is generated based on the grid space lattice; an environmental model is generated based on the third information; and a finite element analysis is performed based on the bridge guardrail simulation model and the environmental module to obtain an analysis result.
[0062] The third information specifically includes: the area where the guardrail to be tested is located, the basic conditions of the area (natural factors such as temperature, humidity, wind force, earthquake conditions, etc.), and cultural factors such as the flow of people and vehicles on the bridge. In the process of building the environmental model, it is necessary to first shoot the environment of the guardrail of the bridge to be tested, obtain the image, extract features from the image, and use normalization to process it before feature extraction. After the feature extraction is completed, the minimum redundancy maximum correlation algorithm is used in the training set to remove redundant and irrelevant features. For human factors, it is necessary to conduct periodic monitoring, use sensors and visual detection devices to calculate the flow of people and vehicles, and finally build an environmental simulation model based on the environmental characteristics and cultural data.
[0063] Step S4: Perform life detection and safety analysis based on the analysis results to complete intelligent status monitoring of the bridge guardrail.
[0064] The life detection process includes: training the traditional SVM classifier based on the finite element analysis data, obtaining the support vector in the initial stage, and constructing the decision classification surface; calculating the center vector corresponding to the sample set; based on the center vector, fuzzy membership function; constructing a fuzzy SVM classifier based on the fuzzy membership function, inputting the real-time finite element data of the guardrail to be detected into the SVM classifier, and obtaining the life prediction result. The membership function is:
[0065]
[0066] Where l is the radius, For class information.
[0067] Safety analysis: The DEMATEL method and the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process are used to calculate the relevance weight and importance weight of the common performance conditions respectively. Then, the combined weighting method is used to linearly combine the two weights to obtain the comprehensive weight, and the safety is calculated based on the weight.
