Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of icing warning for low-altitude aircraft, and particularly relates to a method and system for icing warning of low-altitude aircraft based on meteorological observation. Background Technique

[0002] Low-altitude aircraft refer to various aircraft flying within a relatively low altitude range from the ground. Low-altitude aircraft generally fly in the airspace below 1000 meters and have an icing risk within the cloud layer range of 0 - 3000 meters. Especially in the altitude range of 1500 meters to 3000 meters, it is a common high-incidence area of icing for low-altitude aircraft such as helicopters.

[0003] In order to reduce the risk of aircraft icing when manned low-altitude aircraft perform flight missions, predicted meteorological data is usually obtained, and a flight route is formulated based on the predicted meteorological data. However, this method is relatively dependent on the accuracy of meteorological prediction. It can be understood that the more accurate the predicted meteorological data is, the more reasonable the formulated flight route is, and the lower the probability of aircraft icing. In other words, if the meteorology suddenly changes and the pilot still flies according to the established route or takes countermeasures relatively late, there will be a greater potential safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, an icing warning method and system for low-altitude aircraft based on meteorological observation are provided in the embodiments of the present invention, aiming to evaluate the icing situation of the aircraft in real time according to meteorological data so as to reduce flight risks.

The historical flight data includes flight altitude, flight speed, and flight time. The aircraft own data includes material and surface characteristics. The icing situation includes icing components, icing thickness, and icing type;

[0007] According to the division of icing components, corresponding neural network models are respectively established and trained respectively to obtain corresponding target neural network models. Specifically, the historical meteorological data, historical flight data, and aircraft own data are used as the input of the neural network model, and the icing thickness and icing type at a preset time interval are used as the output of the neural network model;

[0008] Obtain the meteorological data, flight data, and the data of the aircraft itself collected by the low-altitude aircraft in real time, and input them into the target neural network models corresponding to each icing component respectively to output the corresponding icing thickness and icing type;

[0009] According to the output result of the target neural network model, determine whether the preset icing component reaches the warning standard;

[0010] If it is determined that the preset icing component reaches the warning standard, issue a first warning;

[0011] If it is determined that the preset icing component does not reach the warning standard, perform weighted processing according to the icing thickness and icing type of each icing component to obtain an evaluation value;

[0012] Judge whether the evaluation value is greater than the threshold;

[0013] If it is determined that the evaluation value is greater than the threshold, issue a second warning.

[0014] Furthermore, the method further includes:

[0015] Obtain an initial planned path, and adjust the initial planned path according to the warning situation.

[0016] Furthermore, the steps of obtaining the initial planned path and adjusting the initial planned path according to the warning situation include:

[0019] When the warning situation is the second warning, correct the meteorological prediction data according to the three-dimensional satellite cloud map, generate a target three-dimensional satellite cloud map according to the corrected meteorological prediction data, plan a second flight path with the smallest deviation from the initial planned path for the low-altitude aircraft, and adjust the initial planned path according to the second flight path.

[0020] Furthermore, the steps of generating a target three-dimensional satellite cloud map according to the corrected meteorological prediction data and planning a second flight path with the smallest deviation from the initial planned path for the low-altitude aircraft include:

[0021] Map the initial planned path to the target three-dimensional satellite cloud map, and remove the line segments corresponding to the flight paths at preset time intervals from the initial planned path to form a gap;

[0022] Obtain the target meteorological prediction data in the preset spatial range corresponding to the flight path at the preset interval, and input the target meteorological prediction data into the target neural network model corresponding to each icing component respectively to output the corresponding predicted icing thickness and predicted icing type;

[0023] Determine the target planned route according to the predicted icing thickness and predicted icing type;

[0024] Merge the line segments corresponding to the target planned route to the gap to obtain the second flight path.

[0025] Further, the step of determining the target planned route according to the predicted icing thickness and predicted icing type includes:

[0026] According to the importance degree of the icing components, as well as the predicted icing thickness and predicted icing type corresponding to the icing components, determine the second target area that meets the requirements in terms of the predicted icing thickness and predicted icing type and is within the preset spatial range;

[0027] In the second target area, determine the shortest flight route of the low-altitude aircraft as the target planned route.

[0028] Further, the neural network model is composed of an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. The input layer contains a number of input nodes, and the number of input nodes is the same as the number of types of input data, which is used to receive different types of input data;

[0029] The hidden layer consists of five sub-layers. The first hidden sub-layer has 64 nodes, and the LeakyReLU function is used to extract features from the input data to find the key features related to the output result. The second hidden sub-layer and the third hidden sub-layer each have 128 nodes, and the Sigmoid function is used to further explore the features of the output data of the first hidden sub-layer and capture the internal connections between the nodes. The fourth hidden sub-layer and the fifth hidden sub-layer each contain 64 nodes, and with the help of the ReLU activation function, the data features output by the third hidden sub-layer are processed twice;

[0030] The output layer is provided with a number of output nodes, and the number of output nodes corresponds to the number of types of output data. The output layer uses a linear activation function to output the final prediction result.

[0031] Further, in the step of performing weighted processing on the icing thickness and icing type of each icing component to obtain an evaluation value, the expression of the weighted processing is:

[0032]

[0033] where P represents the evaluation value, denotes the weight coefficient of the k-th icing component, denotes the score value determined by the k-th icing component according to the icing thickness and icing type.

[0034] The second aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides an icing warning system for low-altitude aircraft based on meteorological observations, which is used to implement the icing warning method for low-altitude aircraft based on meteorological observations described in the first aspect.

[0052] Embodiment 1

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for icing warning of a low-altitude aircraft based on meteorological observation is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than here.

[0054] In this first embodiment, a method for icing warning of a low-altitude aircraft based on meteorological observation is provided, which can be used in an electronic device, such as a computer. Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 , which shows an implementation flowchart of a method for icing warning of a low-altitude aircraft provided in the first embodiment of the present invention, specifically including steps S01 to S08.

[0055] Step S01, obtain the historical meteorological data, historical flight data, aircraft own data and icing conditions of the low-altitude aircraft in the same period.

[0056] Specifically, the historical meteorological data includes temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, air pressure, precipitation type and relative position of clouds, the historical flight data includes flight altitude, flight speed and flight time, the aircraft own data includes material and surface characteristics, and the icing conditions include icing components, icing thickness and icing type. It should be noted that the above data all have different degrees of influence on the icing of the low-altitude aircraft.

[0057] Among them, for temperature, icing on the aircraft body surface usually occurs in the temperature range of 0°C to -20°C, and severe icing mostly occurs in the range of -2°C to -10°C; for humidity and air pressure, when the temperature dew point difference in the cloud is between 0°C and 5°C, icing is more likely to occur; for wind speed and wind direction, in combination with the flight speed of the aircraft, when the relative speed is relatively large, the collision frequency and energy between the aircraft and supercooled water droplets increase, and the supercooled water droplets are more likely to adhere to the aircraft surface and freeze quickly; for precipitation type, in freezing rain and drizzle weather, when the outside temperature is below 0°C, the supercooled raindrops are likely to freeze once they come into contact with the aircraft. In the environment of sleet, the coexistence of snowflakes and supercooled water droplets will also increase the possibility of aircraft icing; for the relative position of the cloud layer, when flying through the upper part of a cumulonimbus cloud or a cumulus congestus cloud, severe icing usually appears on the aircraft body surface; while when flying through a stratus cloud or a stratocumulus cloud, weak or moderate icing usually occurs; for flight altitude, the altitude range of 1500 meters to 3000 meters is a common high-incidence area of icing; for material and surface characteristics, if the aircraft surface is made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity, it is easier to rapidly reduce the surface temperature in a low-temperature environment, promoting the condensation and icing of water vapor. If the surface is rough and uneven, it will increase the attachment probability of supercooled water droplets and is also more likely to ice up.

[0058] In addition, according to the different functions and positions of the icing components, the icing effects also vary. For example, rotating components such as the rotor of a helicopter are more likely to ice up than fixed components due to the heat exchange with air during rotation and the complex airflow conditions. Prominent parts such as the engine air intake, airspeed tube, windshield, and antenna are also prone to icing because they are more likely to come into contact with supercooled water droplets.

[0059] The above data are all collected by various sensors carried on low-altitude aircraft. Exemplarily, the icing thickness and the relative position of the cloud layer, etc., can be obtained by installing visual sensors such as cameras on the aircraft to take images of the aircraft surface. Through image recognition technology, the icing areas in the images are analyzed and processed.

[0060] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the icing observation data of mountain weather stations and meteorological data such as wind, humidity, temperature, and pressure can also be used for reference.

[0061] Step S02, according to the division of the icing components, corresponding neural network models are respectively established and trained respectively to obtain the corresponding target neural network models.

[0062] Among them, historical meteorological data, historical flight data, and the data of the aircraft itself are used as the input of the neural network model, and the icing thickness and icing type at preset time intervals are used as the output of the neural network model. Before the data is input into the neural network model, data preprocessing can be performed, including missing value processing (interpolation method), outlier removal (based on physical constraints), feature engineering (Z-score normalization), and standardization (Z-score normalization), etc.

[0063] In this embodiment, the neural network model consists of an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. The input layer contains a number of input nodes, and the number of input nodes is the same as the number of types of input data, which is used to receive different types of input data.

[0064] The hidden layer is composed of five sub-layers. The first hidden sub-layer has 64 nodes, and the LeakyReLU function is used to extract the features of the input data to find the key features related to the output result. The second hidden sub-layer and the third hidden sub-layer each have 128 nodes, and the Sigmoid function is used to further explore the features of the output data of the first hidden sub-layer and capture the internal connections between the nodes. The fourth hidden sub-layer and the fifth hidden sub-layer each contain 64 nodes, and with the help of the ReLU activation function, the data features output by the third hidden sub-layer are processed twice.

[0065] The output layer is provided with a number of output nodes, and the number of output nodes corresponds to the number of types of output data. The output layer uses a linear activation function to output the final prediction result.

[0066] Specifically, 80% of the dataset samples after random shuffling are used as training set samples, and the other 20% are used as test set samples. Among them, the neuron formulas of the hidden layer and the output layer can be expressed as:

[0067] The first hidden sub-layer:

[0068]

[0069] The second hidden sub-layer:

[0070]

[0071] The third hidden sub-layer:

[0072]

[0073] The fourth hidden sub-layer:

[0074]

[0075] The fifth hidden sub-layer:

[0076]

[0077] Output layer:

[0078]

[0079] where x j and y i represent the j-th node of the input layer and the i-th node of the output layer respectively, represents the weight connecting the j-th node of the layer and the i-th node of the output layer, represents the bias term of the i-th node of the layer. Exemplarily, represents the i-th neuron of the first hidden sub-layer, represents the i-th neuron of the second hidden sub-layer, represents the i-th neuron of the third hidden sub-layer, represents the i-th neuron of the fourth hidden sub-layer, represents the i-th neuron of the fifth hidden sub-layer. Similarly, represents the j-th neuron of the first hidden sub-layer, represents the j-th neuron of the second hidden sub-layer, represents the j-th neuron of the third hidden sub-layer, represents the j-th neuron of the fourth hidden sub-layer, represents the j-th neuron of the fifth hidden sub-layer. LeakyReLU, Sigmoid, and ReLU are activation functions.

[0080] Step S03: Real-time obtain the meteorological data, flight data, and aircraft own data collected by the low-altitude aircraft, and input them into the target neural network models corresponding to each icing component respectively, and output the corresponding icing thickness and icing type.

[0081] Step S04: According to the output result of the target neural network model, determine whether the preset icing component reaches the warning standard. If so, execute Step S05; if not, execute Step S06.

[0082] It can be understood that the preset icing components may include key aerodynamic components, power system-related components, and sensor components, etc. Exemplarily, icing on power system components such as the engine air intake and propeller will affect the normal operation of the engine, resulting in problems such as power decline and increased vibration. Once icing signs are found in these parts, even if it is only a small amount of icing, a warning should be issued in a timely manner.

[0083] Step S05: Then issue a first warning.

[0084] Among them, the pilot can be reminded of the possible icing by means of sound alarms and scrolling subtitles, and attention should be paid to taking safety precautions.

[0085] In step S06, weighted processing is performed according to the icing thickness and icing type of each icing component to obtain an evaluation value.

[0086] Specifically, the expression for weighted processing is:

[0087]

[0088] Among them, P represents the evaluation value, represents the weight coefficient of the kth icing component, represents the score value determined by the kth icing component according to the icing thickness and icing type. It should be noted that the weight coefficient of the more critical icing component is larger. In addition, a mapping relationship between the icing thickness and icing type of each icing component and the score value is established to determine the score value according to the mapping relationship.

[0089] In step S07, it is judged whether the evaluation value is greater than the threshold. If so, step S08 is executed.

[0090] In step S08, a second warning is given.

[0091] Similarly, the pilot can be reminded of the possible icing by means of sound alarms and scrolling subtitles, and attention should be paid to taking safety precautions. In some other embodiments of the present invention, after the warning is given, the user can be more intelligently helped to plan the flight path to further reduce the flight risk. Specifically, the initial planned path is obtained and adjusted according to the warning situation. Among them, the initial planned path is the result of comprehensive consideration of meteorological data, flight distance, terrain, etc. It should be noted that a three-dimensional satellite cloud map of the flight position of the current low-altitude aircraft is obtained, and the target area beneficial to alleviating icing in the three-dimensional satellite cloud map is determined. Among them, the three-dimensional satellite cloud map is realized based on technologies such as volume rendering. The current CloudFantasy system already has this function. Since the three-dimensional satellite cloud map is rendered according to meteorological data, the meteorological data around the flight position of the current low-altitude aircraft can be obtained, and then the meteorological data is input into the target neural network, so that the target area beneficial to alleviating icing in the three-dimensional satellite cloud map can be determined;

[0092] When the warning situation is the first warning, it means that the meteorological change is rapid and the situation is relatively urgent, and rapid risk avoidance is required. Then, according to the first target area closest to the flight position of the current low-altitude aircraft, the first flight path for the low-altitude aircraft to enter the first target area is planned, and the initial planned path is adjusted according to the first flight path;

[0093] When the warning situation is the second warning, it indicates that there are potential risks, and the adaptive adjustment path is sufficient. Then, according to the three-dimensional satellite cloud map, the meteorological prediction data is corrected, and the target three-dimensional satellite cloud map is generated based on the corrected meteorological prediction data. The second flight path with the smallest deviation from the initial planned path of the low-altitude aircraft is planned, and the initial planned path is adjusted according to the second flight path. It can be understood that the obtained three-dimensional satellite cloud map is real-time, that is, the accuracy of the meteorological data is relatively high. The previously predicted meteorological data is corrected by the meteorological data with relatively high accuracy to obtain the corrected and relatively accurate target three-dimensional satellite cloud map.

[0094] Specifically, the initial planned path is mapped to the target three-dimensional satellite cloud map, and the line segments corresponding to the flight paths at preset time intervals are removed from the initial planned path to form a gap.

[0095] Obtain the target meteorological prediction data in the preset space range corresponding to the flight path at preset time intervals, and input the target meteorological prediction data into the target neural network model corresponding to each icing component respectively, and output the corresponding predicted icing thickness and predicted icing type. It can be understood that the preset space range refers to a space range such as a rectangle or a sphere obtained by expanding in height based on the line segment corresponding to the flight path at preset time intervals, and the target meteorological prediction data is obtained according to the target three-dimensional satellite cloud map.

[0096] According to the predicted icing thickness and predicted icing type, determine the target planned route. Among them, according to the importance level of the icing components, as well as the predicted icing thickness and predicted icing type corresponding to the icing components, determine the second target area that meets the requirements in the preset space range and has a predicted icing thickness and predicted icing type. Exemplarily, if there are 7 icing components a, b, c, d, e, f, g, where a, b, c are key icing components, and d, e, f, g are ordinary icing components, according to the importance levels of a, b, c, the position points that do not meet the requirements are sequentially removed within the preset space range. Not meeting the requirements can be understood as the icing type not meeting the requirements, the icing thickness exceeding the standard, etc. In the preset space range after removing the position points that do not meet the requirements, determine the position points where the four ordinary icing components d, e, f, g all meet the requirements, and merge these position points to form the second target area.

[0097] In the second target area, determine the shortest flight route of the low-altitude aircraft as the target planned route.

[0098] Merge the line segments corresponding to the target planned route to the gap to obtain the second flight path.

[0099] In summary, for the icing warning method of low-altitude aircraft based on meteorological observation in the above embodiments of the present invention, the method obtains historical meteorological data, historical flight data, aircraft own data, and icing conditions of the low-altitude aircraft in the same period; according to the division of icing components, corresponding neural network models are established and trained respectively to obtain corresponding target neural network models; meteorological data, flight data, and aircraft own data collected by the low-altitude aircraft are obtained in real time and input into the target neural network models corresponding to each icing component respectively, and the corresponding icing thickness and icing type are output; according to the output results of the target neural network models, it is judged whether the preset icing components reach the warning standard; if so, a first warning is given; if not, weighted processing is performed according to the icing thickness and icing type of each icing component to obtain an evaluation value; it is judged whether the evaluation value is greater than the threshold; if it is judged that the evaluation value is greater than the threshold, a second warning is given. Specifically, by evaluating the icing condition of the aircraft, the flight risk can be effectively reduced.
