[0057] S1. Obtain three-dimensional terrain data and meteorological parameters, build an intelligent edge computing network, and generate a preliminary path based on the three-dimensional terrain data and meteorological parameters, as follows:

[0058] Register with Laozi Cloud Platform, download the required 3D geographic data via FTP, specify the required geographic range and resolution, including elevation model and land cover information, convert the format of the downloaded data, apply Gaussian filtering to remove noise, apply projection transformation to convert coordinates into a coordinate system, then calibrate the coordinate system using feature matching, select a satellite data provider, download the required meteorological parameters via FTP, decode, project and convert the raw data, and perform quality checks on the processed data to ensure its accuracy and completeness;

[0059] Select lightweight edge computing devices suitable for aircraft, configure operating systems, driver and middleware installation and configuration, deep learning framework, sensor data processing library, deploy intelligent edge computing nodes, ensure that each node can independently process local data and work with other nodes, set up wireless communication, and configure security protocols to protect the security of data transmission;

[0060] The 3D terrain data obtained from the Laozi cloud platform and the meteorological parameters obtained through satellite remote sensing technology are integrated, and the preliminary path is generated using the pre-trained deep learning model. The path is optimized by combining the 3D terrain data and meteorological parameters, which is expressed as,

[0061]

[0062] Where x is the position vector, indicating the current position; t is the time vector, indicating the current time point; P(x,t) is the optimal preliminary path at position x and time t; T is the time vector of the flight mission, indicating the time period of the flight mission; λ is an attenuation factor used to control the influence of past data; τ is the integral variable, indicating the time from the start time to the current time; z(τ) is the multimodal sensor data collected at time τ; D(z(τ)) is the information filtering function, which adjusts the path weight according to the multimodal sensor data. α is a tuning parameter used to adjust the sensitivity of information filtering, C is a normalization function used to sum all paths to 1, is the terrain safety factor, which is used to ensure terrain safety, Ω is the location set, which represents the set of all locations that the aircraft may reach during the entire mission, N is the number of edge nodes involved in the calculation, i is the index vector of the edge nodes involved in the calculation, and M is the environmental assessment function, M = exp(-γ·∥xx i ∥ 2 ), γ is the distance sensitivity parameter, which is used to adjust the response speed of the environmental assessment function M to the distance change, x i is the position of the ith edge node, W is the weight function, is the wind speed value at position x, which is used to calculate the weight function W, δ i is the bias parameter of the i-th edge node, which is used to adjust the basic value of the weight function W.

[0063] Further meteorological parameters are temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric pressure, precipitation, cloud cover, visibility, sunshine duration and solar radiation intensity.

[0064] S2. The aircraft takes off along the generated preliminary path. During the flight, the edge computing node collects 3D data from the sensor in real time, updates the preliminary path through the 3D data, and adjusts the flight trajectory. The global path planning model is trained centrally using the federated learning framework, and the latest global path planning model parameters are distributed back to each sensor. The details are as follows:

[0065] The generated preliminary path is finally verified on the ground station, and the path data is converted into a format that can be recognized by the flight control system. The path data is uploaded to the flight control panel of the aircraft through a wireless communication link. The flight control panel receives and parses the path data, stores it in the local memory, and prepares to execute the takeoff procedure. According to the preset takeoff procedure, the flight control panel starts the engine and propeller, and performs self-test and initialization operations;

[0066] The GPS on the aircraft obtains precise location coordinates, the IMU obtains the attitude parameters of the aircraft, the lidar and visual camera detect obstacles in the surrounding environment, and the meteorological sensor obtains temperature, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction. The collected meteorological data is transmitted to the edge computing node in real time, and Gaussian filtering is used to remove isolated noise points in the meteorological data, and the data timestamps of the sensors are ensured to be consistent.

[0067] The preliminary path is updated using the RRT algorithm based on the preprocessed position coordinates, attitude parameters, obstacles in the surrounding environment, and meteorological data. The flight control panel adjusts the path, attitude, and speed of the aircraft in real time based on the updated path information.

[0068] Using the federated learning framework, the global path planning model is trained centrally in the cloud. During the training process, the historical data and newly collected data are combined to continuously optimize the global path planning model parameters, and the latest global path planning model parameters are distributed back to each edge computing node to ensure that each node uses the latest global path planning model for path planning. Incremental update technology is used to reduce parameter transmission and improve update efficiency.

[0069] S3. Preprocess the global path planning model parameters collected by the sensor, extract three-dimensional features from the preprocessed global path planning model parameters, and fuse the three-dimensional features using a multimodal fusion strategy, as follows:

[0070] Ensure that the global path planning model parameters uploaded by all edge computing nodes have the same structure and format. Collect the latest global path planning model parameters from each edge node on the cloud server and merge them into a unified data set. Convert the merged global path planning model parameters into a standard data format to ensure that it is easy to parse and store. Save the converted data as a global path planning model parameter file. The naming convention should include a timestamp or other identifier.

[0071] Use the corresponding library in the programming language to read the generated parameter file, parse the parameters of each layer of the global path planning model according to the file format, normalize the extracted weight matrix, bias term and activation function, and obtain the normalized global path planning model parameters;

[0072] Use the principal component analysis feature extraction algorithm to apply the selected algorithm to extract features from the normalized weight matrix, bias term, and activation function to obtain a set of low-dimensional feature vectors that can characterize the characteristics of the global path planning model. Prepare three-dimensional features from different sources, select multimodal fusion to generate the final fused three-dimensional feature vector, and verify the fused three-dimensional feature vector to ensure its effectiveness and robustness.

[0073] S4. Use the deep learning model to analyze the fused 3D features, identify potential obstacles, and design the RRT algorithm to generate path proposals based on the identification results, as follows:

[0074] Collect images and point cloud data related to the aircraft environment, annotate the collected data, mark the location, category and other information of obstacles, provide supervision signals for fine-tuning the deep learning model, apply data enhancement technology to expand the training set, improve the generalization ability of the deep learning model, adjust hyperparameters according to the task, ensure that the deep learning model can converge quickly on new data, select the mean square error loss function, ensure that the deep learning model is optimized in the right direction, use the validation set to evaluate the performance of the deep learning model, monitor the accuracy, recall rate, F1 score, adjust the deep learning model structure or training strategy, apply quantization and pruning technology to reduce the size and computational complexity of the deep learning model, and ensure that it can run efficiently on edge devices to form a deep learning model;

[0075] The pre-trained deep learning model is loaded on the edge computing node, and the fused three-dimensional feature vector is used as the input of the deep learning model. The deep learning model outputs the coordinate position of each obstacle, which is expressed as,

[0076]

[0077] Among them, O(x,t) means that an obstacle is detected at position x and time t. is the obstacle existence probability output by the deep learning model, reflecting the probability of an obstacle at the current position and time point. J is the number of sensor types, the total number of different sensor types used for obstacle detection. j is the index vector of the sensor type, used to identify the specific sensor type. is the local feature intensity of the j-th sensor at position x and time t, which is used to reflect the significant feature intensity detected by the sensor at the current position and time point. is the noise level of the j-th sensor at position x and time t, which is used to reflect the noise level of the sensor at the current position and time point;

[0078] According to the identified obstacle positions, the RRT algorithm is used to generate the optimal path. First, the RRT algorithm is initialized, the starting point and the end point are set, the search space boundary and the obstacle area are defined, a sample point is randomly selected in the search space, and a new edge is extended from the nearest node in the existing tree structure to the sample point. If the new edge does not intersect with any known obstacle, it is added to the tree structure; otherwise, the extension is abandoned. When a node in the tree structure approaches the end point, the node is directly connected to the end point to form a complete collision-free path. The generated path is smoothed and other optimization operations are performed to ensure that it meets the dynamic constraints and safety requirements of the aircraft.

[0079] S5. Send the path proposal to the aircraft for execution. After receiving the path proposal, the aircraft adjusts the flight operation according to the planned path, as follows:

[0080] The path proposal is sent to the flight control panel of the aircraft through the ground station and the cloud server. After receiving the path proposal, the flight control panel returns a confirmation message to the sender, checks whether the path proposal conforms to the predefined data format and grammatical rules, and confirms whether each waypoint in the path proposal is within the physical capability of the aircraft. It uses geometric methods to check whether the path proposal intersects with known obstacles and confirms whether the path proposal complies with local aviation regulations and airspace restrictions. After the above verification, if the path proposal is judged to be valid and safe, proceed to the next step; otherwise, a new path proposal is generated and the verification process is repeated. When the path proposal is judged to be valid and safe, the flight control panel loads the path proposal into the internal navigation and gradually starts the flight program according to the preset flight plan. During the flight, data from GPS, IMU, lidar, visual cameras and sensors are collected in real time to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the aircraft status. The flight control panel adjusts the attitude and speed of the aircraft according to the waypoint information in the path proposal to ensure that it always flies along the planned path.

[0081] S6. Collect flight status data through sensors and monitoring equipment. When deviations and abnormalities occur, re-planning and emergency measures are immediately triggered, as follows:

[0082] According to the mission requirements and flight environment, a deviation threshold is set to determine whether the aircraft has deviated from the planned path. The deviation threshold can be based on position deviation, attitude deviation and comprehensive consideration of multiple factors. Data from GPS, IMU, LiDAR, visual cameras and sensors are collected in real time to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the aircraft status. When the flight control panel detects that the aircraft deviates from the planned path by more than the set deviation threshold, it is immediately marked as a deviation event and triggers the re-planning procedure to send a new path proposal to the flight control panel to prepare for the execution of a new flight plan.

[0083] When the flight control panel detects that the aircraft has not deviated from the planned path by more than the set deviation threshold, it will make fine adjustments according to the normal flight path to keep the aircraft on the correct track;

[0084] The aircraft always keeps the emergency response mechanism activated to deal with emergencies. When the situation is critical, the aircraft will perform emergency obstacle avoidance to quickly adjust the flight path, avoid new obstacles, automatically return to the home position, navigate to the nearest safe landing point or return to the take-off point and emergency landing, and choose a suitable location for emergency landing to ensure the safety of the aircraft and payload.

[0085] A critical situation refers to any situation that may cause the aircraft to be unable to continue to fly safely or pose a threat to people and property on the ground, including but not limited to sensor failure, communication interruption, power system failure, sudden appearance of obstacles, and extreme weather conditions.

[0086] This embodiment also provides an optimal path generation system based on a low-altitude airspace three-dimensional scene, including: a data acquisition module, a trajectory adjustment module, a model optimization module, a deep learning module, a path proposal module and an anomaly detection module;

[0087] The data acquisition module acquires three-dimensional terrain data and meteorological parameters, builds an intelligent edge computing network, and generates a preliminary path based on the three-dimensional terrain data and meteorological parameters. In the trajectory adjustment module, the aircraft takes off through the generated preliminary path. During the flight, the edge computing node collects three-dimensional data from the sensor in real time, updates the preliminary path through the three-dimensional data, and adjusts the flight trajectory. The global path planning model is centrally trained using the federated learning framework, and the latest global path planning model parameters are distributed back to each sensor. The model optimization module preprocesses the global path planning model parameters collected by the sensor, extracts three-dimensional features from the preprocessed global path planning model parameters, and fuses the three-dimensional features using a multimodal fusion strategy. The deep learning module uses a deep learning model to analyze the fused three-dimensional features, identify potential obstacles, and design an RRT algorithm based on the identification results to generate a path proposal. The path proposal module sends the path proposal to the aircraft for execution. After receiving the path proposal, the aircraft adjusts the flight operation according to the planned path. The anomaly detection module collects flight status data through sensors and monitoring equipment, and immediately triggers re-planning and emergency measures when deviations and abnormalities occur.
