[0065] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0066] Example 1: This example introduces a method for applying drone modeling to urban microenvironment assessment, including:

[0072] Based on the complex boundary conditions and three-dimensional spatial layout model of the simulated area, the spatiotemporal distribution of air flow field, atmospheric pollutant concentration field and air quality index are calculated using CFD method to complete the urban microenvironment assessment.

[0073] The method for applying UAV modeling to urban micro-environment assessment provided in this embodiment involves the following steps:

[0074] 1. Oblique photography and modeling of urban street buildings based on UAV flight platform: Using UAVs equipped with visible light oblique photography equipment, high-frequency continuous strip photography is carried out on the area of ​​interest to record the surface buildings and other terrain features of the area of ​​interest from multiple angles and at high resolution. In addition, a certain frequency should be maintained in continuous shooting to ensure that the information in the continuously generated photos has a sufficient repetition rate (generally more than 70%), and finally obtain the relevant data files of terrain features.

[0075] 2. Based on the obtained terrain and feature data files, and with the help of 3D modeling algorithms and imaging software, generate the 3D spatial coordinates of a large number of ground image points in the area of ​​interest: filter and integrate the image data, atmospheric environmental parameters, and pollutant concentration data collected by the UAV flight platform, add ground control point measurement data, and use 3D modeling software to obtain the initial 3D model of the simulated area through aerial triangulation calculation, multi-view influence matching, point cloud model construction, and texture mapping;

[0076] Error correction is performed on the image data obtained by tilted shooting, using the following formula:

[0077] (1);

[0078] (2);

[0079] In the formula, x represents the image point coordinates along the flight direction at the horizontal position after error correction, y represents the image point coordinates along the lateral direction at the horizontal position after error correction, x' represents the correction value for the error caused by film deformation along the flight direction at the horizontal position, and y' represents the correction value for the error caused by film deformation along the lateral direction at the horizontal position.

[0080] Based on the data after error correction, a three-dimensional spatial layout model of buildings and other land features within the area is further generated.

[0081] 3. The environmental meteorological sensor based on the flight platform is used to collect low-altitude and near-surface atmospheric environmental parameters of the area of ​​interest, including but not limited to low-altitude wind speed, humidity and temperature information, and air quality data of the ground and low altitude, such as the concentration of major air pollutants and the spatiotemporal distribution information of atmospheric visibility.

[0082] The main air pollutants include, but are not limited to, PM2.5. 2.5 PM 10 The six atmospheric environmental parameters, including CO and NO2, as well as other air pollutants in specific industrial or process areas, such as volatile organic compounds emitted by human activities and natural vegetation, and malodorous gases such as methanethiol.

[0083] 4. The collected environmental and meteorological variables and their spatial distributions are superimposed into the three-dimensional spatial layout model of the city, interpolated, and the three-dimensional data fusion and post-processing are completed to form spatiotemporal distribution assimilation data of environmental and meteorological variables at the urban block scale, providing refined initial boundary conditions for the next step of numerical solution of air flow and pollution diffusion at the urban block scale.

[0084] The inventor provides a method, device and storage medium for assessing air pollution at the urban block scale in CN118133640A. This method enables high-precision numerical simulation of air pollution at the block scale. The spatiotemporal distribution of air flow field and air pollutant concentration field and air quality index of the area of ​​interest at the block scale are obtained through CFD method.

[0085] Its features include: importing the initial three-dimensional model into the aerodynamics calculation formula, generating a mesh and optimizing the mesh quality, and finally exporting the mesh;

[0086] The aerodynamic calculation formula is as follows:

[0087] (3);

[0088] (4);

[0089] In the formula Let be the fluid density, t be time, and u be the fluid velocity vector. For gradient operators, This represents the rate of change of fluid density over time. It represents the rate of change of velocity over time, reflecting the acceleration of the fluid. For the convection term, it describes the effect of fluid velocity on its own flow. For fluid pressure, The pressure gradient term represents the effect of pressure changes on fluid motion. Kinematic viscosity, The Laplace operator represents the spatial variation of the velocity field. This is the viscosity term, describing the viscous effect within the fluid. This is the external force term, representing the external force acting on the fluid.

[0090] 6. Based on the above three-dimensional model, generate a corresponding near-surface wind field or concentration field spatial grid numerical simulation field, and perform four-dimensional variational assimilation with the environmental meteorological field monitoring spatial station data to generate a more realistic near-surface urban block high-resolution gridded environmental meteorological variable field.

[0091] The four-dimensional variational assimilation calculation formula is as follows:

[0092] (5);

[0093] (6);

[0094] In the formula, K represents the gain matrix. k Indicates the analysis-forecast cycle step number, y k For the observation vector, Indicates the first k Analysis field of time step, For the background field, H k For observation operators, variables in the model space are transformed to the observation space, M. k This is the forecast mode.

[0095] 7. The refined spatial environment meteorological three-dimensional model and its temporal dynamics obtained from the monitoring and simulation calculations are visualized and interactively displayed through the user interface, which is used for quantitative assessment of the microenvironment at the urban block scale.

[0096] This embodiment applies an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight platform and related technologies to the quantitative assessment of the microenvironment at the urban block scale. The UAV flight platform collects three-dimensional spatial location information of ground feature points and near-surface atmospheric environmental parameters to establish a refined three-dimensional model at the urban block scale. Based on this model, further simulations and calculations of atmospheric flow and pollutant diffusion at the block scale are conducted. This invention provides technical support for refined assessment of urban air quality and the ecological environment, as well as related refined management and control.

[0097] The key technical point of this invention is the use of UAV flight platforms to perform 3D modeling of terrain and features, and to collect low-altitude and near-ground environmental and meteorological data, thereby enabling the fusion of these data to generate initial boundary conditions for subsequent CFD numerical calculations. This technology will ultimately serve the work of 3D refined microenvironment and micrometeorological assessment at the urban block scale.

[0098] The following description, in conjunction with a preferred embodiment, illustrates the content involved in the above embodiments.

[0099] The specific process of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 Using a drone flight platform, aerial photography is conducted on complex urban building blocks that require micro-environment assessment and management, and environmental meteorological data is collected. After data fusion and assimilation, high-resolution three-dimensional spatial complex boundary conditions of the region are generated. Further, a spatial unstructured grid required for numerical calculation is constructed. On this basis, numerical simulation is performed to generate a refined three-dimensional distribution of wind field, turbulence and concentration diffusion within the region.

[0100] Preparation:

[0101] Based on the needs of the target area, a detailed inspection is conducted on various aspects, including the compatibility of the UAV system, onboard battery power, and the working condition of sensors and cameras, to ensure the smooth progress of the mission and the orderly conduct of on-site surveying.

[0102] GPS calibration is performed on the drone to ensure sufficient satellite signal reception in open areas, and the calibration status is checked after connecting the drone to the software. Professional flight planning software is used to set up control points and plan flight routes for the target area, ensuring flight safety while maximizing the fulfillment of simulation requirements.

[0103] Step 1: The drone takes aerial photos along the prescribed route and collects environmental meteorological data and three-dimensional topographic and feature data;

[0104] After the equipment debugging and flight path mapping plan are confirmed, the UAV will take off as follows: Figure 3As shown. Following the prescribed flight path, the aircraft enters cruise mode and uses its equipped five-dimensional flight camera to photograph the ground and extract coordinate data. Under the premise of meeting flight attitude requirements, the aircraft will theoretically take multiple images of the same ground location; however, at specific flight paths, it can collect data from five different aerial angles at the same ground location.

[0105] Furthermore, by matching flight speed with shutter speed, multiple angles are used to capture continuous images of the same location. Then, combined with the 3D position information of the camera, a multivariate linear equation is established to solve for the 3D position coordinates of each image point. Finally, a high-resolution geometric shape of all terrain features within the area is generated, as shown in the specific imaging effect. Figure 4 As shown.

[0106] Meanwhile, the drone is equipped with meteorological sensors, including devices for detecting wind speed, humidity, temperature, and atmospheric pollutant concentrations, to collect environmental meteorological data of the area during flight. Data can be collected periodically or continuously and transmitted back to the ground station for analysis in real time.

[0107] The system will also capture and locate the main air pollution emission sources within the area, including traffic emissions from key roads, catering emissions, and residential emissions, and obtain real-time monitoring data on their emission intensity by replacing the existing pollution-related sensors.

[0108] Step 2: Perform multi-source fusion and post-processing of environmental meteorological data and 3D topographic and feature data.

[0109] Based on the above UAV imaging data acquisition results, a detailed 3D model was created within a 1km x 1km area surrounding the case location. The model effect is as follows. Figure 4

[0110] Furthermore, based on project requirements, the spatial range and computational grid resolution required for the final 3D numerical simulation are determined.

[0111] While prioritizing the distribution pattern of the flow field around the building, some irregular details and shape complexity of the building were appropriately simplified to reduce the number of meshes and numerical calculations required for subsequent 3D environmental meteorological variables. A specific 3D model example is shown below. Figure 5 .

[0112] The collected real-time emission intensity monitoring data and the obtained real-time monitoring data of regional environmental meteorological variables (mainly including wind speed, wind direction, surface temperature, humidity, etc.) are superimposed on the urban three-dimensional spatial layout model, interpolated, and the three-dimensional data fusion and post-processing are completed to form the spatiotemporal distribution assimilation data of environmental meteorological variables at the urban block scale, which provides refined initial boundary conditions for the next step of numerical solution of air flow and pollution diffusion at the urban block scale.

[0113] Step 3: Numerical Simulation of Street-Scale Micrometeorology and Microenvironment

[0114] The inventors provided a method, device and storage medium for assessing air pollution at the urban block scale in CN118133640A. This method enables high-precision numerical simulation of air pollution at the block scale. The spatiotemporal distribution of air flow field and air pollutant concentration field and air quality index of the area of ​​interest at the block scale are obtained through CFD methods.

[0115] Step 4: Assimilate the numerical simulation field using monitoring data to generate a more realistic, high-resolution, gridded environmental meteorological variable field for near-ground urban blocks.

[0116] The collection density of environmental meteorological field monitoring data is lower than that of topographic and ground feature data, but it is mainly located in the vertical space of the atmosphere (point or vertical column) rather than on the ground surface. It needs to be preprocessed by specialized environmental meteorological software (such as NCL, netCDF) to generate three-dimensional spatial station data.

[0117] After generating the corresponding near-surface wind field or concentration field spatial grid numerical simulation field based on the above-mentioned 3D building model, the environmental meteorological field monitoring spatial station data mentioned in this section are assimilated with it to improve the spatial resolution and accuracy of the final output results. The final simulation results are referenced. Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 .

[0118] Step 5: Based on the environmental meteorological field simulation results, combined with sensitivity experiments on the initial values ​​related to the layout of urban buildings and pollution sources, conduct scientific demonstrations of urban air quality attainment planning and emission reduction measures, including micro-environmental air quality assessment, assessment of the contribution of main pollutant components and major sources, and assessment of the effectiveness of regional governance decisions.

[0119] Example 2: This example provides a device for applying drone modeling to urban micro-environment assessment, comprising:

[0120] The first acquisition module is used to acquire three-dimensional terrain and feature data obtained by obliquely photographing urban street buildings based on a drone flight platform.

[0121] The first generation module is used to generate a three-dimensional spatial layout model of buildings and other features within the area based on the three-dimensional terrain and feature data.

[0122] The second acquisition module is used to acquire low-altitude atmospheric environmental parameters in the area based on the microenvironment and micrometeorological monitoring equipment carried on the UAV flight platform.

[0123] The fusion module is used to overlay low-altitude atmospheric environmental parameters onto a three-dimensional spatial layout model. Through interpolation and data fusion techniques, it generates spatiotemporal distribution assimilation data of environmental meteorological variables at the urban block scale.

[0124] The second generation module is used to generate complex boundary conditions for the simulated region based on spatiotemporal distribution assimilation data.

[0125] The calculation module is used to calculate the spatiotemporal distribution of airflow field, atmospheric pollutant concentration field and air quality index based on the complex boundary conditions and three-dimensional spatial layout model of the simulated area using CFD methods, and to complete the urban micro-environment assessment.
