Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of simulation, and in particular relates to a plot-driven damage control scene simulation method combined with special effect equipment. Background Art
[0002] In damage control training, most of the simulation training is based on the trainees' imagination, and the trainees lack the real sense of being on the scene; some training uses a small amount of independent special effects equipment to simulate the damage environment with limited realism, and each special effects equipment or consumables needs to be controlled independently by personnel, and it is impossible to carry out continuous and unified management and control of all related equipment, which makes the simulated scenes less complex and cannot fully stimulate the on-the-spot judgment and reaction of the trainees, and lacks flexibility, adaptability and diversity. Summary of the invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for simulating damage control scenes using special effects equipment plots, and to achieve a more realistic, dynamic and highly immersive training environment by introducing plot process branches.
[0004] The method of using special effects equipment to simulate a damage control scene includes the following steps:
[0005] Step 1: Use the scenario editor to design a multi-branch damage control scenario based on the training objectives; set the key nodes in the scenario and design the special effects requirements corresponding to the key nodes; set multiple scenario branches for each key node through logical conditions;
[0006] Step 2: Establish a damage control scenario simulation system, including special effects equipment and control system, synchronize the timestamps of the special effects equipment and control system, and import the damage control scenario timeline instruction set;
[0007] Step 3: Establish a plot simulation training site, install special effects equipment according to the plot development, connect the special effects equipment with the control system, and conduct unified management and control;
[0008] Step 4: Use the control system to start and stop the special effects equipment and monitor its status to simulate the damage control scenario. The control system calls the special effects equipment to simulate the changes in the scenario environment according to the plot evolution of the damage scenario, and dynamically calculates the direction of the damage scenario according to the data feedback from the data collector deployed in the training scenario and the current working status data of the special effects equipment; confirms the next plot direction according to the deduction results, and controls the special effects equipment to dynamically modify the simulation scene effect by calling the instruction set through the control system; judges the training progress. If the scenario training is completed or the training fails, the training ends, and the control system restores the status of all special effects equipment;
[0009] Step 5: Analyze the data collected during the damage control scenario simulation in step 4, evaluate the training effect, and adjust the plot and special effects settings.
[0010] The scenario editor described in step 1 saves the special effect fragments of the damage control scene, and the special effect fragments are a set of instructions for the coordinated cooperation of several special effect devices.
[0011] The control system described in step 2 includes a device access module, a command module and a device status monitoring module.
[0012] The device access module communicates with the corresponding special effect device by calling the special effect device control protocol compatible with the system, and converts the communication signal data in the communication protocol into a unified interval of the data signal through the algorithm RN(xi) to obtain the original standardized unified interval value;
[0013]
[0014] Where xi is the signal converted into a hexadecimal set matrix, which is the input data of the algorithm; α represents the probability of the first type of error; μL is the median of the data set; f(xi) is the softmax algorithm, which calculates the probability distribution state of xi; δf(xi) represents the change of the softmax algorithm.
[0015] The instruction module is used to parse the plot data or files edited by the plot editor, decompose the data into device control instruction values, special effect device type numbers, execution time, sequence, etc., and send them to the device access module according to the script process. At the same time, in order to ensure the operation of the device in an abnormal offline state, after parsing the instruction set, a control signal set containing a time code is sent to the corresponding special effect hardware to ensure its use in an offline state.
[0016] The device status monitoring module is used to record the status of special effect devices that actively report their status and devices that do not actively report their status.
[0017] Through the above-mentioned design scheme, the present invention can bring the following beneficial effects: a method of simulating damage control scenarios using special effects equipment plots, which enhances the realism, immersion and adaptability of damage control training through special effects equipment and plot process branches; the scenarios can be adjusted in real time according to the trainees' decisions and actions, which is closer to actual emergency situations; and real-time feedback on the trainees' performance is provided, which helps to quickly improve damage control capabilities. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0018] The present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0019] Figure 1 The present invention is a flow chart of a method for simulating a damage control scene using a special effects device plot. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] Methods of using special effects equipment to simulate damage control scenarios, such as Figure 1As shown, the following steps are included:
[0021] 1. Constructing a damage plot:
[0022] a. Use the scenario editor to design complex damage control scenarios with multiple branches based on the training objectives, involving different emergency events (fire, water ingress, gas leakage, circuit short circuit, etc.) and response strategies (fire extinguishing, plugging leaks, closing valves, shutting off power, etc.).
[0023] b. Set key nodes in the plot, such as fire, water ingress, toxic gas leakage, etc., and design different special effects requirements for them, that is, the special effects equipment that needs to be used and the related coordination and scheduling between the special effects equipment to simulate the damage environment effect.
[0024] c. Set up multiple possible plot branches through logical conditions for each key node. The direction of the plot depends on the trainee's handling behavior during the damage control process (including whether he can reach the designated location within the specified time and use the response strategy correctly, whether he uses the correct tools, etc.) and special damage control plot arrangements.
[0025] Furthermore, the scenario editor designed in the present invention saves multiple groups of different damage scene special effect fragments. Each special effect fragment is a set of instructions formed by the coordination and cooperation between one or more special effect devices. The instructions include configuration items such as time, mode, and device function strength. Users can configure multiple damage scene special effect fragments according to the script requirements, and control the direction of each special effect fragment through logical conditions. The logical conditions include "And", "Or", "While", "Break", "Not", etc. After all the fragments are constructed into a scenario, the scenario editor compiles it into a specific data format composed of a special effect fragment instruction set and a logical condition structure, which is saved in a database or exported as a file.
[0026] 2. Preparation of special effects equipment:
[0027] a. Select appropriate special effects equipment required for the damage control plot according to the plot flow, such as smoke machines, flame effect devices, sound effect systems, lighting systems, vibration platforms, etc., and connect them to the special effects equipment control system.
[0028] b. Unify the management of control signals and device status feedback signals of all special effects devices connected to the control system to ensure the safety and controllability of special effects devices so that they can be triggered in real time during the plot development.
[0029] c. Synchronize the timestamps of the device and system, import the exercise plot timeline instruction set, and ensure the operation control of the special effects equipment in an offline state.
[0030] Among them, the special effects equipment control system mainly includes equipment access module, instruction module and equipment status monitoring module.
[0031] Device access module: This module communicates with the corresponding special effects device by calling the system-compatible special effects device control protocol, and converts the communication signal data in the communication protocol into a unified interval of data signal values through the algorithm RN(xi). The RN(xi) algorithm is used to calculate the unified interval of Raw Normalizaiton values for each node of all control signal data, and determines the type of current command and execution value based on the interval value. The data is of float type.
[0032] 0-0.5 is the start command,
[0033] 0.5-2 is the special parameter input instruction, that is, the special control instruction range.
[0034] <0 means abort instruction.
[0035] The system matches the value with the signal that the corresponding device can accept, and waits for the data analysis of the instruction module to send the special effect device instruction.
[0036] The instruction module is used to parse the plot data or files edited by the plot editor, decompose the data into device control instruction values (unified control command range), special effect device type number, execution time, sequence, etc., and send them to the device access module according to the script process. At the same time, in order to ensure the operation of the device in an abnormal offline state, after parsing the instruction set, a control signal set containing the time code is sent to the corresponding special effect hardware to ensure its use in an offline state.
[0037] The device status monitoring module is responsible for recording the status of special effect devices that actively report their status and devices that do not actively report their status. Devices that actively report their status are recorded according to the reported status. Other types of devices obtain and update their status through system polling status, system monitoring protocol connection status, etc.
[0038] 3. Scene construction and integration:
[0039] a. Arrange the training grounds according to the plot and install the required special effects equipment at the locations required for the plot development.
[0040] b. Integrate the special effects equipment with the access control system (a system that controls the start, stop, reset, change and other functions of the equipment in the access system according to demand), and perform unified control and management of the equipment according to the plot script process.
[0041] 4. Simulation operation:
[0042] a. The special effects equipment control system is used to control and monitor the status of special effects equipment, simulating the environmental special effects scenes in the damage control plot.
[0043] b. According to the plot evolution of the damage control scenario, the control system calls the connected special effects equipment to simulate the changes in the plot environment, and dynamically calculates the direction of the damage plot based on the data feedback from the sensors deployed in the training scenario (smoke sensors, temperature sensors, cameras, radars, thermal imaging, etc.) and the current working status data of the special effects equipment.
[0044] c. Determine the next plot direction based on the deduction results, and call the relevant instruction set through the control system to control the special effects equipment to dynamically modify the simulation scene effect.
[0045] d. Determine the progress of training. If the scenario training is completed or the training fails, the control system will restore the status of all special effects equipment after confirming that the training is completed, so that it is convenient to continue training next time.
[0046] Among them, the plot evolution of the damage control scene adopts the plot calculation system: by obtaining the sensor data in the scene, the human motion data captured by the camera video through the human body posture capture algorithm, the infrared data and the on-site data, combined with the logical conditions configured in the plot editor, the plot direction is calculated, and the special effects fragments used, to complete the plot advancement and changes of the entire damage control scene construction.
[0047] 5. Feedback and Evaluation:
[0048] a. Collect data during the training process, including trainees’ responses, decision outcomes, and the progression of plot branches.
[0049] b. Analyze data, evaluate training results, and adjust plot and special effects settings based on feedback.
[0050] Specifically, the invention is applied to the on-site environment simulation of damage scenes in damage control exercises in closed places such as ship cabins. Before the training begins, the system simulates the ship cabin environment (smoke, high temperature, water ingress, etc.) to be used for training through equipment, and the trainees enter the scene for purposeful training. According to the trainees' judgment and command ability of the simulated damage scene, on-site disposal response, and the damage scenario arrangement designed by the control personnel, the degree of change of the damage scene and the related damage chain reaction are deduced, and the deduction results are synchronized to each terminal in real time. The special effects equipment on the scene simulates the damage environment through the synchronized data continuous change, and the trainees complete the damage control training in the changing scene environment. The evaluator observes the training status and scoring rules of the trainees through the corresponding terminal to evaluate the training effect.
