[0015] Embodiment 1:

[0016] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: Figure 1 As shown, a method for monitoring and positioning anti-slipping shoes in a railway station area comprises the following steps:

[0017] Step 1: Set up multiple video surveillance systems at different locations in the railway station area, each of the video surveillance systems includes a camera and an AOA positioning module.

[0018] Cameras are set at different locations in the railway station area. Preferably, the images captured by each camera overlap with the images captured by at least another camera, so as to construct a complete image. These cameras have different heights from the standard horizontal plane and different shooting angles. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the heights and shooting angles of all cameras cannot be exactly the same, but the heights and shooting angles of some cameras can be the same. The standard horizontal plane refers to a manually defined horizontal plane, such as the ground, which is used to determine the height of the camera setting.

[0019] Step 2: Obtain the original signal strength and original arrival angle of the target device through the AOA positioning module, perform error correction on the original signal strength, and obtain the distance between the target device and the AOA positioning module based on the corrected error strength; perform error correction on the original arrival angle to obtain a corrected arrival angle; and obtain the first position coordinates of the target device based on the distance between the target device and the AOA positioning module and the corrected arrival angle.

[0020] The step 2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0021] Step 2-1: Obtain the original signal strength and original arrival angle of the target device through the AOA positioning module.

[0022] The target device is a radio frequency tag equipped with AOA positioning technology, which is used to transmit radio frequency signals to the AOA positioning module. For example, the target that needs to be located in real time in the railway station area, such as anti-slip shoes for railways, staff, railway-related equipment, etc., wears the radio frequency tag.

[0023] AOA positioning module is M y ×M z The antenna array consists of antennas, and the distance between two adjacent antennas is D G , M y 、M z are the number of antennas in the y-axis direction and the z-axis direction of the antenna array respectively. The AOA positioning module can obtain the original signal strength and original arrival angle of the target device. Taking the positioning of any target device in the railway station area as an example, assuming that there are N cameras in total, an AOA positioning module is installed in each camera. The original signal strength of the target device obtained by the i-th AOA positioning module is RSS i , the original arrival angle is α i , i = 1, 2, ..., N; then the original signal strength of the target device obtained by all AOA positioning modules is RSS = [RSS 1 ,RSS 2 ,...,RSS N ], the original arrival angle is α=[α 1 ,α 2,...,α N ],have where θ i Represents the direction angle between the i-th AOA positioning module and the target device, Indicates the elevation angle between the i-th AOA positioning module and the target device.

[0024] Step 2-2: Perform error correction on the original signal strength, and obtain the distance between the target device and the AOA positioning module based on the corrected error strength.

[0025] The signal strength obtained by the i-th AOA positioning module is RSS i According to the Hata model, the relationship between the radio signal propagation distance and the received signal strength (RSS) is:

[0026]

[0027] Among them, d i Indicates the distance from the target device to the i-th AOA positioning module; RSS i (d i ) represents the signal strength received by the i-th AOA positioning module from the target device; d 0 Indicates unit distance, usually 1m; RSS i (d 0 ) represents the signal strength received by the i-th AOA positioning module at unit distance; n represents the path attenuation exponent; ε represents the environmental noise during the transmission process and the Gaussian white noise in the channel, that is, a random variable with a mean of 0 and a variance of σ.

[0028] The distance from the target device to the i-th AOA positioning module can be obtained by adding the arrival angle α i , the target device can be located. However, this solution takes into account that when the AOA positioning module receives signals, the scattering, reflection, and refraction of the signals by obstacles in the environment, as well as antenna array errors, will reduce the accuracy of the signal strength and arrival angle, ultimately resulting in poor positioning accuracy of the target device. Therefore, this solution needs to correct the errors of the original signal strength and the original arrival angle, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the target device.

[0029] When performing error correction on the original signal strength, the power of the target device transmitting the signal and obstacles on the signal path are taken into account. The corrected signal strength is:

[0030]

[0031] in, Indicates the corrected signal strength; P irepresents the power of the signal transmitted by the target device to the i-th AOA positioning module; cosech(.) represents the hyperbolic cosecant function; Z i represents the number of obstacles on the path between the target device and the i-th AOA positioning module; γ 1 P i The weight of 2 is cosech(Z i )’s weight.

[0032] The ratio of the corrected signal strength to the original signal strength γ is obtained:

[0033]

[0034] Thus, the corrected distance from the target device to the i-th AOA positioning module is obtained:

[0035]

[0036] in, Indicates the corrected distance. In this way, the problem of reduced signal strength accuracy caused by scattering, reflection, and refraction of signals by obstacles in the environment can be eliminated.

[0037] Step 2-3: Perform error correction on the original arrival angle to obtain a corrected arrival angle.

[0038] The direction steering vector and pitch steering vector of the antenna array of the i-th AOA positioning module are:

[0039]

[0040] Among them, α i (θ i ), are the directional steering vector and the pitch steering vector respectively; j is the imaginary unit; λ is the wavelength; D G is the distance between two adjacent antennas; M y 、M z are the number of antennas in the y-axis direction and the z-axis direction of the antenna array respectively.

[0041] This solution is to correct the arrival angle and construct the first guidance vector

[0042]

[0043] Constructing the second steering vector

[0044]

[0045] in, Indicates wave control direction; Indicates the antenna error correction distance, which is:

[0046]

[0047] Among them, c y 、c z are the position errors measured along the y-axis and z-axis of the antenna array, respectively. It should be noted that the y-axis of the antenna array is along the line axis, and the z-axis is perpendicular to the line axis.

[0048] Based on the first steering vector and the second steering vector, the corrected arrival angle is obtained:

[0049]

[0050] in, represents the corrected arrival angle; This eliminates the problem of reduced arrival angle accuracy caused by antenna array errors.

[0051] Step 2-4: Based on the distance between the target device and the AOA positioning module and the corrected arrival angle, obtain the first position coordinates of the target device.

[0052] Based on the corrected distance and the corrected angle of arrival The first position coordinate u of the target device obtained by the i-th AOA positioning module can be obtained ti =(x ti ,y ti ,z ti ). Similarly, the first position coordinate of the target device obtained by N AOA positioning modules is u t =[u t1 ,u t2 ,...,u tN ].

[0053] Step 3: Capture an image of the target device through a camera, and obtain the second position coordinates of the target device through three-dimensional reconstruction technology.

[0054] The picture taken by the i-th camera is img i Since the images captured by each camera overlap with the images captured by at least another camera, it is possible to obtain feature points of fixed objects (such as the ground, stairs, buildings, fixed equipment, etc.) to match the feature points of the two overlapping images, and convert the two-dimensional coordinates of the feature points into three-dimensional coordinates in the world coordinate system, so as to reconstruct the railway station area in three dimensions and obtain a three-dimensional map 3DM=[(dp 1 ,img 1 ),(dp2 ,img 2 ),...,(dp N ,img N )], where dp i Represents image img i The second position coordinate of the target device in the three-dimensional map is u 3DM =(x 3DM ,y 3DM ,z 3DM ).

[0055] Step 4: Fuse the first position coordinates and the second position coordinates based on the attention mechanism, and use the fused position feature vector as the final positioning of the target device.

[0056] Convert the first position coordinates to the first position coordinate vector u t =[u t1 ,u t2 ,...,u tN ], convert the second position coordinates into the second position coordinate vector u 3DM =(x 3DM ,y 3DM ,z 3DM ), based on the attention mechanism, the first position coordinate vector and the second position coordinate vector are feature fused:

[0057] U=f 1 ×u 3DM +[f 2 ×u t1 +f 3 ×u t2 +...+f N+1 ×u tN ];

[0058] Among them, f 1 、f 2 , ..., f N+1 Represent weights respectively, and f 1 +f 2 +...+f N+1 =1; U represents the fused position feature vector, which is constrained by the objective function:

[0059]

[0060] Where J represents the objective function; Represents the real position coordinate vector of the target device; ∑ U Represents the covariance matrix, which is:

[0061]

[0062] in, The fused position feature vector U is used as the final positioning of the target device, which has a significantly improved accuracy compared to the positioning of the target device obtained by using the traditional AOA positioning technology alone or the video surveillance technology alone.

[0063] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
