Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of image processing, and in particular relates to a method, device and system for cross-domain tracking and re-identification of airport luggage with time constraints. Background Art

[0002] The full-process tracking of checked baggage is an important measure for airports to improve the quality of passenger services, the level of ground service support and service efficiency. The RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology currently used in airport checked baggage tracking is based on node supervision, that is, in the entire system, the places where RFID identification devices are deployed constitute the identification and tracking nodes of the system. The baggage tracking and supervision between these nodes is still carried out manually, that is, when abnormal baggage conditions (such as baggage falling, detention, damaged suitcases, etc.) occur at any location between the nodes, they cannot be discovered in time, and staff need to spend a lot of time to investigate afterwards.

[0003] At present, the cameras deployed on the airport baggage transportation routes have basically achieved full coverage of the transportation routes. Therefore, the use of machine vision technology to track the baggage throughout the entire process can quickly locate anomalies in the baggage transportation process and further improve staff efficiency.

[0004] To locate and track the luggage during the transportation process, it is necessary to complete the target detection and positioning tracking of the luggage. Among them, since multiple cameras are used to collect images of the luggage transportation route, the key algorithm for positioning and tracking is the image re-recognition algorithm. Image re-recognition is mainly based on the characteristics of the object to be identified, the model for feature extraction is designed, the feature vector of the object to be identified is established, and then the images collected by different cameras are matched and retrieved. However, in the entire luggage transportation line, due to the parameters, position, lighting and other reasons of the camera, it is very difficult to retrieve and match the luggage images collected by different cameras.

[0005] At the same time, since there are a large number of cameras on the automatic baggage transportation line, when using the re-recognition method for image matching, if the images collected by all cameras in the entire system are used as retrieval objects, the system baggage retrieval efficiency will be very low.

[0093] like Figure 3 As shown, the present application discloses a time-constrained airport baggage cross-domain tracking and re-identification system, comprising: the above-mentioned device and a plurality of cameras arranged along the baggage conveyor belt between the check-in counter and the loading and unloading area.

[0094] In order to better understand the present application, the present application is further described below.

[0095] In this embodiment, a baggage cross-domain tracking and identification system based on machine vision is designed based on the existing camera acquisition conditions on the current airport baggage transportation line, and the baggage is tracked in the whole area during the airport baggage transportation and sorting process. The image acquisition of the baggage is completed at the entrance of the baggage transportation and sorting system, and then the baggage is detected and tracked and located across cameras through the target detection model and the re-identification model. On this basis, due to the predictability of the baggage transportation route and time, time constraints are added when tracking the baggage, which reduces the calculation intensity of baggage retrieval and positioning, and ensures the efficiency of baggage positioning.

[0096] The following will be combined Figures 4 to 6 This embodiment is described in detail.

[0097] The system's image acquisition relies on the airport's existing security equipment and monitoring devices for the baggage sorting system. The structure is deployed as follows: Figure 4 The entire re-identification process can be roughly divided into the following three parts: baggage query image library generation; baggage calibration and anomaly monitoring; baggage re-identification retrieval. Figure 5 The specific plan is as follows:

[0098] 1. Baggage query image database generation: First, at the entrance of the baggage sorting system, such as the check-in gate, use the camera at the check-in gate to collect baggage images, assign ID numbers to the baggage images, and then upload the images and information such as the time of entering the system to the baggage query image database, which is stored in the server.

[0099] 2. Baggage calibration and abnormality inspection. Since the collected images are high-resolution images, the baggage detection uses the yolov5s6 model to calibrate and detect the luggage in the image. This step is mainly to identify and calibrate the luggage image area in the collected image, and at the same time warn of abnormal conditions of the luggage.

[0100] During the training phase, baggage data is labeled into two categories: “normal” and “abnormal”. At the same time, in order to balance the amount of the two types of data, operations such as cropping, rotation, and color change are performed on the baggage labeled as “abnormal” to increase the amount of data of this type and reduce the impact on model performance caused by this.

[0101] Baggage detection model Figure 7 As shown, the model is divided into four parts:

[0102] (1) Input: The image pre-processing is completed in the input part, including image enhancement and initialization of four sets of anchor frames;

[0103] (2) Feature extraction part (Backbone): The New CSP-Darknet53 architecture is used to extract useful features from the input image. The image is downsampled by 8, 16, 32, and 64 times in the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th layers of the 12-layer network structure, and feature maps of sizes of 160×160×256, 80×80×512, 40×40×768, and 20×20×1024 are obtained respectively;

[0104] (3) Feature fusion part (Neck): The model uses the structure of an improved feature pyramid FPN (Feature Pyramid Network) network + a path aggregation network PAN (Path Aggregation Network) to complete the feature fusion operation of the extracted multi-scale features, and obtains four fusion feature maps with sizes of 160×160×256, 80×80×512, 40×40×768 and 20×20×1024 respectively;

[0105] (4) Detection part (Head): Target detection of objects of different sizes is performed on four fused feature maps of different sizes. The large feature map is responsible for detecting small objects, the larger feature map is responsible for detecting medium-sized objects, and the smallest feature map is responsible for detecting large objects.

[0106] 3. Baggage re-identification and retrieval. The retrieval function is divided into real-time retrieval (i.e. online retrieval) and offline retrieval. Real-time retrieval is to query and locate the luggage during the luggage transportation process, and retrieve the luggage location through the collected real-time video data; offline retrieval is to retrieve the historical data of the luggage transportation video. Specifically, it can be retrieved through t 2 -t 1 The difference between the current retrieval time and the 2 The time t when the baggage to be retrieved enters the entrance of the baggage sorting system (check-in counter) 1 The difference between the two determines which retrieval method to use: when t 2 -t 1 >T, use offline search; when t 2 -t 1 ≤T, the online search method is used. T represents the time required for the baggage to be transported from the check-in counter to the loading and unloading area according to the conveying speed v set by the baggage sorting system.

[0107] Real-time retrieval uses a time-constrained method, that is, according to the difference between the current retrieval time and the time when the luggage to be retrieved enters the sorting system, the retrieval area is first positioned at the estimated position before and after a maximum of 12 cameras for video retrieval according to the transmission speed of the sorting system. If the luggage to be retrieved is matched for the first time, the retrieval stops, otherwise the retrieval area is moved to the entrance, and the retrieval and matching of multiple cameras in the retrieval area are performed until the luggage is retrieved, and the retrieval ends. The step size and size of the moving retrieval area during the retrieval process can be customized.

[0108] Offline retrieval adopts global tracking retrieval, that is, starting from the moment the luggage to be retrieved enters the sorting system, the retrieval area is set according to a maximum of 12 cameras, and historical videos in the retrieval area are retrieved. If the retrieval luggage is matched, the retrieval stops; the retrieval area is moved according to a custom step length until the final position of the luggage to be retrieved is located.

[0109] Baggage retrieval is based on the baggage re-identification model. It extracts features from multiple pieces of luggage in the video image and then calculates and sorts them by similarity. If the highest similarity value is greater than the target threshold, it is considered a successful match, thereby completing the baggage search and retrieval.

[0110] Baggage re-identification model Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the model uses a standard 4-stage Swin Transformer as a feature extractor, the input image size is 128×128, and the image patch size is set to 4×4. After 4 stages, feature maps of sizes 32×32×96, 16×16×192, 8×8×384 and 4×4×768 are obtained respectively. Next, these feature maps of different levels are sent to the FPN feature fusion module for feature fusion. In the training phase, the feature map of stage 4 is used for maximum pooling MaxPooling to obtain the features as the global features Global Feature to calculate the ID Loss loss function, and the fused feature vector is stretched into a 1-dimensional vector to calculate the Triplet Loss loss function. In addition, after the image passes through the Liner embedding layer, a 1-dimensional learnable vector side information embedding module SIE (Side Information Embedding) can be inserted to represent the invariant features of the camera information and position for each patch.
