Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of remote sensing detection technology, and in particular to a method and system for estimating the lane load of a target bridge based on remote sensing image detection. Background Technology

[0002] Remote sensing, as a comprehensive Earth observation technology, possesses unparalleled advantages over other technologies, including wide coverage, large information volume, and high timeliness. Currently, remote sensing technology is widely used in various fields such as terrain monitoring, water and soil resource surveys, and road monitoring in uninhabited or data-scarce areas. However, in research on acquiring information from areas lacking data, scholars often rely on geospatial and spectral features to obtain parameters and apply them to model or mechanism studies. This research approach is complex and lacks timeliness, and few studies apply remote sensing to estimating attribute information such as urban road infrastructure. Furthermore, in the era of remote sensing big data, deep learning methods, due to their strong learning capabilities, ability to acquire feature information of ground objects for object identification, wide coverage, and capacity for large-scale data processing and computation via computers, are widely used in fields such as ground object recognition, scene recognition, and facial recognition.

[0003] While deep learning can acquire information from areas lacking data based on big data, its application in urban bridge load estimation still faces some challenges. Firstly, deep learning requires a large number of samples for model training to extract target features, but current technology cannot support obtaining attribute information of target features, such as lane loads on urban roads and bridges. Secondly, deep learning combined with remote sensing imagery is easily limited by the quality of the imagery, often missing effective features of ground objects, leading to inaccurate information acquisition and hindering precise estimation of urban bridge lane loads, thus reducing work efficiency.

The basic information is used to display the basic construction data of the target bridge.

[0038] S206. Estimate the lane load of the target bridge based on the basic information of the target bridge and the bridge design standards.

[0039] This application primarily addresses existing remote sensing imagery and real-world data by providing a method for estimating urban bridge loads using deep learning and target detection based on geographic thinking. This method enables the classification and monitoring of urban bridges. Finally, by combining information such as the net span and number of lanes of urban bridges extracted from UAV remote sensing imagery, it effectively estimates the lane load capacity of urban bridges. Based on simulation and verification within a study area at the urban scale, this method is applied to bridge identification in special scenarios, providing technical support for collecting information on environmental elements in special scenarios.

[0040] The following is a detailed explanation of each step:

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, step S201 involves acquiring a set of remote sensing images of the area to be studied to extract the characteristic information of the bridge and its standard load vehicle.

[0042] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the actual bridge construction environment in the area to be studied is collected, and corresponding remote sensing images are obtained; the remote sensing images are preprocessed, and a sample remote sensing image set of the study area is obtained by cropping according to visual interpretation, which includes large parking lots and bridge target features in the area to be studied, so as to extract the feature information of bridges and their standard load vehicles in the area to be studied.

[0043] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the collected satellite remote sensing data is Sentinel-1 series data. After image preprocessing such as atmospheric correction, noise removal, impact enhancement, and fusion, a remote sensing image set of the study area was obtained based on visual interpretation and cropped, serving as the foundation data for constructing various sample datasets. Manual interpretation is currently the most widely used image extraction method in China, such as in land surveys, geological surveys, and water conservancy surveys. Specifically, it refers to the use of differences in brightness or pixel values ​​and spatial variations in remote sensing images to represent the differences between different land features, which is the physical basis for distinguishing different image features. The remote sensing image set here should spatially include target features such as large parking lots and urban bridges. To ensure the accuracy of target identification results, the remote sensing images to be tested should have high temporal resolution (coverage period < 7 days), and the satellite monitoring time range should be no less than 30 days.

[0044] Please continue to refer to Figures 2-5 As shown, step S202 involves obtaining a bridge training sample set and a standard heavy-duty vehicle image training sample set for the area under study based on the obtained bridge and standard heavy-duty vehicle feature information through manual visual interpretation. This includes:

[0045] Step S2021: Based on bridge feature information, obtain typical bridge images containing lane number information within the area to be studied as a bridge training sample set by manual visual interpretation.

[0046] In this embodiment, it should be noted that typical urban bridge images containing lane number information, obtained through manual visual interpretation from the remote sensing image set of the sample study area, are used as the bridge training sample set for the area to be studied. Figure 6 As shown, the bridges in the area to be studied should be beam bridges, that is, single-span or multi-span bridges with consistent span standards, using beams or truss beams as the main load-bearing structures.

[0047] Step S2022: Based on the characteristic information of standard load vehicles, perform manual visual interpretation and combine prior knowledge and vehicle management data to obtain images of standard load vehicles of different levels in the area to be studied, which are used as training sample sets of standard load vehicle images. Among them, standard load vehicles include Class A standard load vehicles and Class B standard load vehicles.

[0048] In this embodiment, it should be noted that, in addition, remote sensing images of actual large parking lots, such as the parking areas of car dealerships, are extracted from the remote sensing image set of the sample study area, and standard load vehicle images are obtained based on manual visual interpretation as a training sample set.

[0049] According to industry standards, urban bridges are classified into two categories: "Urban-A" and "Urban-B" based on their capacity and design standards. Urban-A bridges typically have a large capacity, accommodating a large number of vehicles and pedestrians, and often involve important nodes in the urban transportation network; their smoothness directly affects the smoothness and efficiency of urban traffic. Urban-B bridges are usually used to connect different areas, streets, or important facilities within a city, serving as major secondary traffic arteries or passageways connecting important areas. Different bridge categories allow the passage of vehicles with corresponding load capacities. Therefore, by acquiring images of standard-load vehicles (Urban-A and Urban-B) and combining them with prior knowledge and vehicle management data, a training sample set was created. This training sample set includes training samples of standard-load vehicles for both Urban-A and Urban-B categories.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 7As shown, by combining prior knowledge and vehicle management data, design standard data for heavy-duty trucks corresponding to Class A and Class B bridge design standards are obtained, including standard truck characteristic information such as length, width, height, and actual load. Based on the obtained truck information standards, the standard load truck images obtained from remote sensing vehicle images are divided into Class A standard heavy-duty truck training sample sets and Class B standard heavy-duty truck training sample sets according to their length, width, height, and other truck characteristic information standards.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, step S203, training the deep learning model based on the training sample set to construct the recognition model, includes: using the training sample set as input data based on the U-Net model to train and optimize the model in order to construct the recognition model.

[0052] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the deep learning model adopted is the U-Net model, which is a convolutional neural network model mainly used for image recognition and segmentation tasks, capable of extracting local features and spatial relationships of images and videos. The model dataset contains only positive samples and undergoes data augmentation training through steps such as random cropping, random inversion, random scaling, and random color transformation. A sliding window and hyperparameters need to be set according to the remote sensing image to be studied, and an effective algorithm should be selected for target recognition. It consists of two parts: an encoder Q and a decoder Q, connected by a skip connection. The encoder is responsible for downsampling and feature extraction. It gradually reduces the size of the feature map of the input image while increasing the abstraction of the features through a series of convolution and max pooling operations. After each downsampling, the size of the feature map is halved, and the number of channels is doubled. The decoder is used for image size restoration and segmentation. It restores the size of the feature map to the original input size through transposed convolution and convolutional layers, and uses convolutional layers to extract high-level features of the input image. The decoder's structure is symmetrical to the encoder, gradually increasing the size of the feature map through upsampling operations while reducing the number of channels. Skip connections concatenate a cropped feature map from the encoder with the corresponding feature map from the decoder. This type of connection helps fuse image features of the same size from the same layer, enabling the decoder to better recover the image's detailed information.

[0053] The U-Net model is input with three classes of training sample datasets. During training, the model preprocesses the input images (training sample sets) such as normalization and resizing. To ensure model training accuracy, the binary cross-entropy loss function is combined with the Dice loss function. This combination is not only more sensitive to boundary sharpness and the model's prediction accuracy in small regions, but also makes gradient calculation relatively easy, which is beneficial for the model's training and optimization process. In addition, the training process combines multiple optimizers and learning strategies, continuously adjusting optimization parameters and selecting the optimal solution to determine the final recognition model.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in step S204, the beam bridges in the study area and the corresponding levels of standard heavy-duty vehicles are initially identified and matched based on the recognition model, so as to determine the specific level information of the beam bridges in the study area and record their image spatial location information.

[0055] In this embodiment, it should be noted that a trained deep learning model is used to initially identify bridges and standard heavy-duty vehicles within the study area over a specific time period. This is to determine the specific grade information of beam bridges in the study area and record their spatial location information. To ensure the accuracy of the target identification results, the remote sensing images to be tested should have high temporal resolution (coverage period < 7 days) and a satellite monitoring time range of no less than 30 days. The identified beam bridges and standard heavy-duty vehicles are then matched to obtain the spatial feature information of the target objects.

[0056] A preliminary identification and matching of beam bridges and standard heavy-duty trucks within the study area was conducted, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the first step is to determine whether there is a beam bridge in the image to be studied. If so, the time attribute of the identified beam bridge is verified and the construction time range of the bridge is determined so as to match the calculation formula in the bridge design standard determined within the corresponding time period. Otherwise, the image is discarded, or a standard heavy-duty vehicle is selected again to extract ground feature information and the deep learning model is retrained.

[0057] The process of verifying and identifying the temporal attributes of beam bridges begins by confirming the presence of a beam bridge in the image under study. If no beam bridge is found, images are selected at specific time intervals until a beam bridge is identified, at which point the time of the selected image is obtained. Based on the obtained image time, the time range of the beam bridge's design or construction is determined to match the calculation formulas in the bridge design standards established within that time period. Bridge design standards are continuously updated and optimized over time, and each set of standards has different requirements for standard heavy-duty vehicles. Therefore, urban bridge design standards must be selected based on the image's temporal scale to match the bridge design standards established within the corresponding time period.

[0058] Specifically, these include standards such as the 1993 "Urban Bridge Design Guidelines" (CJJ 11-1993), the 1998 "Urban Bridge Design Load Standards" (CJJ 77-1998), the 2011 "Urban Bridge Design Specifications" (CJJ 11-2011), and the current "Highway Bridge Design Specifications" (GB 50010) and "Urban Road Bridge Design Specifications" (JTGD J11-2005 / 2014). Each set of standards has slightly different provisions for standard truck loads.

[0059] In one example, image A, dated June 2001, is selected from a remote sensing image database. No target bridge is found in image A. Next, image B, dated 2002, is selected from the database for target identification, and so on, identifying images C, D, etc. The image selection time interval can be one year, two years, or as needed, until the target bridge is identified in image N. Assuming image N was acquired in March 2010, if a target bridge is identified, its construction date is determined to be up to 2010. At this point, the relevant bridge construction specifications can be matched for further calculations.

[0060] Secondly, based on the determination that there is a beam bridge, it is further determined whether there are Class A standard heavy-duty trucks and / or Class B standard heavy-duty trucks in the image under study. If not, the image is discarded; if so, if a beam bridge and a Class A standard heavy-duty truck appear in the image at the same time, the bridge is classified as a Class A bridge; if a beam bridge, a Class A standard heavy-duty truck, and a Class B standard heavy-duty truck appear in the image at the same time, the bridge is classified as a Class A bridge; if a beam bridge and a Class B standard heavy-duty truck appear in the image at the same time, the bridge is classified as a Class B bridge.

[0061] In this embodiment, it should be noted that Class A bridges are identified first. If it is not a Class A bridge, then a Class B bridge is identified, because the load-bearing capacity of Class A bridges is superior to that of Class B bridges. If both Class A and Class B standard heavy-duty vehicles are present, it means that the bridge is at least a Class A bridge.

[0062] Finally, the spatial location information of the beam bridge, namely latitude and longitude, is recorded and verified by judging and verifying the time attributes, so as to locate the target bridge and facilitate the next step of using drones to obtain the bridge span.

[0063] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in step S205, based on the target bridge obtained through preliminary matching, the remote sensing image of the target bridge is obtained by the UAV according to the recorded image spatial location information, so as to obtain the basic information of the target bridge.

[0064] In this embodiment, it should be noted that a multi-rotor UAV is selected to photograph the beam bridge identified through historical time verification, acquiring two-dimensional side-view images of the target bridge within the study area, and performing image processing, including image correction and image enhancement; based on the scaling ratio of the UAV remote sensing images, the net distance between two adjacent piers (or abutments) at the design flood level of the target bridge is calculated according to the distance in the image, i.e., the net span of the target bridge; simultaneously, the number of lanes and piers is obtained through manual visual interpretation, thus obtaining the basic information of the target bridge, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the basic information includes the bridge classification, bridge net span, number of piers, and number of lanes within the area to be studied.

[0065] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, step S206 involves estimating the lane load of the target bridge based on the basic information of the target bridge and according to the bridge design standards.

[0066] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the basic information of the target bridge is used to estimate the lane load of the target bridge by substituting it into the bridge lane load calculation formula in the corresponding bridge design standard. The calculation formula is expressed as: Total vehicle load of the target bridge = number of lanes × single lane load × load coefficient × number of spans.

[0067] Among them, such as Figure 9 As shown, the vehicle load on the bridge is divided into "concentrated load (P)". k ")" and "uniformly distributed load (q)" k Concentrated load refers to a locally concentrated load acting on a bridge, usually represented by a point load or a load concentrated in a small area, such as a moving vehicle, pedestrian, or equipment. Uniformly distributed load refers to a load that is evenly distributed on the bridge structure. Unlike concentrated load, uniformly distributed load is a load distributed evenly along a certain length or area. Bending moment refers to the ability or result of a material or structure to bend when subjected to external forces. When an object is subjected to lateral forces or bending moments, bending occurs, and the resulting moment is called bending moment. Bending moment is used to describe the bending state and stress conditions at various points in a structure, and is usually a moment along the axis of the cross-section. Shear force refers to a force acting on a structure or material, producing a shear effect along the direction parallel to the cross-section of the structure. In structures such as beams or bridges, shear force is a force along the cross-section parallel to the plane of force, and can be used to characterize the shear force in the stress state of the structure.

[0068] The following is a reference example of the standard and estimation formula for the single-lane load of urban bridges:

[0069] Table 1. Standard load for single lane of urban bridges and estimation formula in the "Design Load Standard for Urban Bridges" (CJJ 77-1998):

[0070] Table 1

[0071]

[0072] Table 2. Standard load and estimation formula for single lane of urban bridge in the "Code for Design of Urban Bridges" (CJJ 11-2011):

[0073] Table 2

[0074]

[0075] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The above steps mainly involve collecting remote sensing images of the area under study and combining them with prior knowledge and vehicle management data to obtain bridge and vehicle feature information within the area under study. This results in a training sample set, where vehicle loads are categorized into Class A and Class B standard trucks to match different bridge grades. Therefore, the training sample set is divided into a bridge training sample set, a Class A standard truck training sample set, and a Class B standard truck training sample set. A recognition model is constructed based on the categorized training sample set using a deep learning algorithm. This model identifies and matches beam bridges with vehicle grades, determining whether the beam bridge is a Class A or Class B bridge. This achieves the identification and extraction of urban bridges in a specific area, solving the problem of missing databases for urban bridges and their standard truck loads. Furthermore, UAV remote sensing imagery is used to supplement and verify satellite remote sensing imagery to obtain basic information such as the span, length, and width of the target bridge. Based on the bridge design standards corresponding to the target bridge, the lane load capacity of urban bridges can be effectively estimated. This solves the problem of estimating bridge vehicle loads based on remote sensing imagery when data is scarce, and provides technical support for obtaining road traffic information and route planning in special and complex geographical environments, thereby improving work efficiency.
