The image of the particulate pollution control facility is processed by denoising, enhancing, adjusting contrast and brightness. Based on the edge detection algorithm, the image features of the shutdown and startup status of the enclosure spraying and fog cannon, as well as the image features of the dust net coverage status, are extracted respectively.

[0021] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention proposes an intelligent inspection method of a drone for particulate matter pollution prevention and control, comprising the following steps:

[0022] S1: Use drones to obtain images of particulate pollution sources, including construction site dust, road dust, bare soil, and open-air burning. Perform denoising, enhancement, contrast adjustment, and brightness adjustment on pollution source images. Use edge detection algorithms to extract image features of construction site dust, road dust, bare soil, and open-air burning, respectively. Establish image feature databases of construction site dust, road dust, bare soil, and open-air burning, and generate pollution source image recognition models based on machine learning algorithms.

[0023] S2: Obtain images of particulate pollution control facilities through drone aerial photography. Particulate pollution control facilities include enclosure spraying, fog cannons, and dust nets. De-noise, enhance, adjust contrast, and adjust brightness of the images of particulate pollution control facilities. Based on the edge detection algorithm, extract the image features of the shutdown and startup states of enclosure spraying and fog cannons, as well as the image features of the dust net coverage state. Establish an image feature database of the shutdown and startup states of enclosure spraying, fog cannons, and the dust net coverage state. Generate an image recognition model for the implementation status of pollution control facilities based on a machine learning algorithm.

[0024] S3: Collect the data of particulate pollution sources and the control facilities of the pollution sources within the control area, send the collected data to the data analysis system through the data communication system, correspond to the information of the pollution source management department and the person in charge, and derive a list of particulate pollution sources and pollution control facilities including the type of pollution source, geographical location, emission method, pollution control facilities, management department, and person in charge, draw a distribution map of the location of particulate pollution sources and particulate pollution control facilities, and intuitively display the distribution through a three-dimensional spatial map;

[0025] S4: The terminal intelligent control platform uses the selected air quality model to calculate the particle pollution diffusion path based on the particle pollution source distribution map, terrain elevation, and meteorological environmental parameters in the control area, and collects the particle concentration data of each monitoring point in the area to calibrate and optimize the air quality model. It plans the drone inspection route based on the three-dimensional map and the optimized pollution diffusion path;

[0026] S5: When the terminal intelligent control platform detects that the particulate matter concentration data at the monitoring site reaches the set warning value, it broadcasts a high value and issues an inspection command to the drone automatic hangar. After receiving the command, the drone automatic hangar automatically calls the drone inspection route from the terminal intelligent control platform and starts the drone inspection operation;

[0027] S6: During the inspection flight, the drone monitors and records the particle concentration data, meteorological environmental parameters and terrain elevation data in the direction of the route in real time, automatically takes all-round, multi-angle high-definition photos of the points where the particle concentration exceeds the standard, transmits the relevant data to the terminal intelligent control platform in real time, and continues the inspection operation, identifies and locks on new targets, and realizes continuous inspection of multiple targets.

[0028] S7: The terminal intelligent control platform uses the pollution source image recognition model and the particle pollution control facility operation status image recognition model to identify and judge the type of pollution source, pollution degree and operation status of pollution control facilities based on the data transmitted by the drone, mark the problem points, display the flight trajectory of the drone in real time, and form an inspection report;

[0029] S8: The terminal intelligent control platform automatically sends the generated inspection report to relevant personnel for processing;

[0030] For example, when the concentration of particulate matter monitored by a micro-station in the area exceeds 80% of the limit specified by the station, the platform will issue a high-value reminder, call up a list of particulate matter pollution sources in the area, and use the air quality model to simulate the diffusion trajectory of pollutants in the area based on the local temperature, wind direction, wind speed, humidity and other environmental parameters at that time. After preliminarily determining the area where the pollution source is located, the inspection route is planned, and then the inspection command is issued to the drone. The drone monitors, shoots, and transmits the data of the point where the concentration of particulate matter exceeds the standard in real time according to the route planned by the platform. The platform automatically identifies the image data, marks the type of pollution source, geographical location, emission method, pollution control facilities, management department, and management responsible person information, generates an inspection report, and sends it to the relevant personnel for processing. After the relevant personnel deal with the pollution source, they start the drone on the platform to inspect the treatment effect of the pollution source, use the data transmitted by the drone to judge the treatment effect and the implementation of relevant prevention and control measures, and automatically generate a "look back" conclusion of closed-loop or unclosed-loop treatment.

[0031] An example of the contents of a drone inspection report is shown in Table 1.

[0032] Table 1 UAV inspection report

[0033]

[0034] When the particulate matter concentration data monitored by each station in the area are within the limit, the platform simulates the pollutant diffusion trajectory based on the existing list of particulate matter pollution sources in the area and combines meteorological environmental parameters, plans the drone's preventive inspection route, and starts the drone's regular inspection operations to achieve early warning and control of pollution.

[0035] The terminal intelligent control platform compares the inspection results of the same pollution source in different time periods, further incorporates the frequency of pollution source inspection problem discovery and closed-loop rectification into the dynamic management and control of pollution sources, automatically generates the pollution source treatment "closed-loop rate", and then optimizes the inspection route, realizing the integration, visualization and intelligence of environmental quality monitoring and pollution source inspection and prevention, reducing manual intervention and time costs, and improving the level of refined management and intelligent decision-making of atmospheric environmental protection.

[0036] During the statistical period, the closed-loop rate of pollution source treatment = the number of pollution sources found by "looking back" / the number of pollution sources found by inspection × 100%. The proportion of pollution times in a certain place = the number of pollution sources found by inspection in a certain place / the total number of pollution sources found by inspection in the region × 100%. Examples of statistical reports on inspection and treatment of pollution sources in a region are shown in Table 2.

[0038]

[0039]

[0040] This solution is based on automatic image recognition technology to automatically identify pollution sources and control facilities in the inspection area. The drone inspection route is targeted, which improves the inspection efficiency and intelligence level, and reduces the manpower and material costs during the inspection process. The terminal intelligent control platform can automatically generate inspection reports and send them to relevant personnel, improving the response speed and control efficiency of pollution incidents.
