Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of astronomical telescopes and unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular to a FAST structural damage data system based on unmanned aerial vehicle intelligent inspection. Background Art

[0002] The Five-hundred-meter Aperture SphericalradioTelescope (FAST) is a major national scientific and technological infrastructure. It uses the natural karst depression in Guizhou as the telescope site to build the world's largest single-aperture radio telescope to achieve large-sky-area, high-precision astronomical observations.

[0003] FAST has a huge structure, which includes: ring beam (5,400 tons), cable net (6,670 main cables, 2,225 down cables), reflector unit (4,450 pieces), actuator anchor piers (2,225), six towers, structural foundation, dangerous rock slopes, etc. Inspection and maintenance are required during the operation of FAST. The inspection contents include: panel subunits, back frames, spherical bearings, node plates, targets and target seats, main cables and down cables, bolts and pins, sliding layers and restricting doors, etc. After more than five years of operation, the following common problems were found: panel deformation, rod instability; ring beam rust, target failure, down cable sheath damage and replacement, main cable sheath repair, main cable pin status, motion interference, tower body corrosion and connection bolt falling off, etc.

[0004] The node position structure in the reflective surface is complex, with multiple reflective surface unit back frames connected to the node upper disk, and their motion pairs are also different. It is easy to have problems such as rust, deformation of spare rods, and motion interference. Although there is a cable crane system available for maintenance, it has the disadvantages of low efficiency, high cost, and small working area for reflective surface inspection, and is not suitable for large-scale and efficient inspection work.

[0005] There are six feed towers with a tower body length of 120 to 170 meters. They are built according to the terrain and have a complex structure. Regarding the problems of tower body rust and connecting bolts falling off, manual inspections have disadvantages such as low efficiency, high risks, and being restricted by many conditions.

[0006] Currently, structural inspections are mainly carried out through manual inspection methods, which have problems such as low efficiency, no video acquisition, safety hazards, and great climate impact.

[0007] In general, the current inspection of reflectors and feed towers has the following problems:

[0008] (1) Most current inspection methods are traditional methods such as cable hanging and manual climbing, without video recording;

[0009] (2) Inspections are difficult in complex climates, such as rain, snow, severe cold, freezing weather, etc.

[0010] (3) More than half of the components are located at high places with poor accessibility, complex terrain, low inspection efficiency and high inspection risk;

[0018] Furthermore, when collecting data on panel dents or falling object penetration anomalies, multiple panels are spliced ​​together in the laboratory and collected simultaneously and / or reflective surface panel data is collected at the FAST site.

[0046] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 10 The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the implementation process of the FAST UAV inspection system of the present invention is as follows: first, the UAV flight plan is determined according to the FAST related positions and structures that need to be inspected, and the multi-source image data of the FAST structure is obtained; then the multi-source data is spatially registered; then the multi-source abnormal target data is labeled to generate a data set; a FAST structure unmanned inspection abnormal target detection algorithm model with multi-source data fusion is created; finally, a FAST structure unmanned inspection system with multi-source data fusion is implemented, and FAST automated inspection is implemented through the system to improve inspection efficiency.

[0049] Under the above technical architecture, the present invention provides a FAST structural damage data system based on unmanned aerial vehicle intelligent inspection, including a data acquisition module, an abnormality marking module and a database construction module. By marking the abnormal target data of the FAST structure, a panel abnormal depression database, a steel structure rust database, a screw falling database and a rod falling database are established, a total of four engineering application databases, which provide a data basis for the subsequent unmanned inspection of the FAST structure by realizing multi-source data fusion. Among them, the abnormal panel depression database includes: FAST reflector unit panel damage such as depressions and pits caused by hail, holes caused by falling objects from high altitude, deformation caused by extrusion or collision, etc.; steel structure corrosion database, including: FAST ring beam lattice column, feed tower body, main cable head, steel plank road, etc., with paint peeling off and exposing the body, red rust covering, etc.; screw falling database, including: ring beam lattice column connection bolts falling off, feed tower connection bolts falling off, reflector unit connection bolts falling off, etc., the bolt parts that fall off expose holes or unit rods are pulled out; rod falling off or abnormal database, including: a total of 4450 reflector unit back frame rods are bent, broken, and the connection between the rod and the ball head is loose. The data acquisition module organizes the image data taken by the drone. In a specific embodiment, as shown in Table 1, around the FAST drone inspection, all abnormal targets are divided into four types, namely panel depression, steel structure corrosion, screw falling off, and rod falling off.

[0050] Table 1: FAST data collection statistics

[0051]

[0052]

[0053] The abnormal labeling module is used to label abnormal targets in the collected images. The FAST UAV inspection database is established based on the sorted UAV inspection abnormal target data. The LabelImg labeling tool is used to label the data in yolo format. The label corresponding to the non-abnormal image is empty. According to the labeling category, it is divided into four databases, namely the panel abnormal dent database, steel structure corrosion database, screw shedding database and rod shedding database. The following are the detailed steps for using LabelImg labeling:

[0054] 1. Switch to the virtual environment that needs to be installed, that is, switch to the yolov5 virtual environment.

[0055] 2. Install Labelimg and enter labelimg in the command line to open it.

[0056] 3. Open the folder containing the pictures that need to be annotated.

[0057] 4. Switch to yolo mode and drag the frame to mark.

[0058] 5. Click Save; the dataset file generated by the annotation is stored in the image folder directory.

[0059] 6. The dataset file stores the information of the frame and labels, which will be automatically loaded when training the model.

[0060] The database construction module builds the corresponding database according to the abnormal classification.

[0061] According to the characteristics of the panel anomaly database, the network parameters are set as follows: 150 training rounds, training batch size (batchsize) is 8, initial learning rate is 0.01, final learning rate is 0.001, the training process uses the SGD (Stochastic gradient descent) optimization algorithm to iteratively update the weights, the momentum of model training is 0.9, the IoU training threshold is 0.2, and the image enhancement uses mosaic enhancement, image HSV-hue enhancement, image HSV-saturation enhancement, image HSV value enhancement, image translation, image scaling, and image flipping to achieve data amplification and enhance the generalization ability and robustness of the model. The specific implementation of image enhancement is as follows:

[0062] Assume that the size of the original image is W×H, the coordinates of the center point of the abnormal target are (x0, y0), and the coordinates of the center point of the abnormal target after transformation are (x'0, y'0); the width and height of the abnormal target bounding box are w0 and h0 respectively, and the width and height of the abnormal target bounding box after transformation are w'0 and h'0 respectively; the image is horizontally shifted by D x , the vertical displacement is D y The translation transformation can be expressed as:

[0063]

[0064]

[0065] (x0, y0) are the coordinates of the center point of the abnormal target. (x'0, y'0) are the coordinates of the center point of the abnormal target after transformation; w0 and h0 are the width and height of the abnormal target bounding box respectively. w'0 and h'0 are the width and height of the abnormal target bounding box after transformation respectively; D x and D y To shift the image horizontally and vertically.

[0066] Flipping the image horizontally along the horizontal center line and vertically along the vertical center line can be expressed as:

[0067]

[0068] (x0, y0) are the coordinates of the center point of the abnormal target. (x'0, y'0) are the coordinates of the center point of the abnormal target after transformation; w0 and h0 are the width and height of the abnormal target bounding box. w'0 and h'0 are the width and height of the abnormal target bounding box after transformation; D x and D y To shift the image horizontally and vertically.

[0069] Scale the image horizontally by a factor of S x , the vertical scaling factor is S y The scaling transformation can be expressed as:

[0070]

[0071] (x0, y0) are the coordinates of the center point of the abnormal target. (x'0, y'0) are the coordinates of the center point of the abnormal target after transformation; w0 and h0 are the width and height of the abnormal target bounding box. w'0 and h'0 are the width and height of the abnormal target bounding box after transformation; D x and D y To shift the image horizontally and vertically.

[0072] The original image is re-cropped into an image group with a width of w and a height of h, which can be expressed as:

[0073]

[0074] (x0, y0) are the coordinates of the center point of the abnormal target. (x'0, y'0) are the coordinates of the center point of the abnormal target after transformation; w0 and h0 are the width and height of the abnormal target bounding box respectively. w'0 and h'0 are the width and height of the abnormal target bounding box after transformation respectively.

[0075] After the cropping transformation, the abnormal target is located in the (i, j)th block of the new image group.

[0076] The database construction module builds the database based on the output data of the anomaly annotation module. Specifically includes:

[0077] (I) Building a panel anomaly database

[0078] There are various abnormalities such as dents and holes on the FAST panel caused by falling foreign objects such as hail and stones. To address the dent problem of the FAST panel, we constructed a dataset of abnormal panel dents using image data collected by drones.

[0079] The abnormalities of the mesh surface of the FAST experimental panel mainly include mesh surface depression. Mesh surface depression (pit halo) is caused by hail, stones, etc. Mesh holes are caused by the mesh surface being hit by small stones or hail on the basis of depression. The depth of depression (pit halo) abnormality is more than 3 mm; the size of hole abnormality is about centimeter level or more.

[0080] In view of the abnormal situation of aluminum alloy panels, the factors considered in the data collection of the present invention mainly include: background, lighting, shooting distance, and shooting angle. Background: A relatively uniform simulated background is adopted, with black as the main color. Lighting conditions: Considering the influence of weather and the shadow of the FAST Sky Eye suspended observation cabin in the actual environment, it is divided into two situations: direct lighting and no direct lighting in the daytime environment. Both situations are considered in the experimental data collection. Shooting distance: Considering the flight altitude of the drone and the feasible height for actual collection, a data collection shooting distance of 1-2 meters is adopted. It is divided into 2 categories: 1.5 meters and 2 meters. Shooting angle: Considering that the camera has a certain angle during the actual flight, and the FAST mesh panel has a certain inclination. Five shooting angles are taken during the data collection process, which are divided into vertical, horizontal directions of positive and negative 45°, and vertical directions of positive and negative 45°.

[0081] A single panel in the FAST system is an isosceles triangle with three sides of 1m, 1m, and 1.2m respectively. The layout of the FAST panel is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. In a specific embodiment, the present invention collects more than 100 abnormal data samples. After collection, 460 pictures are selected as the basic data set. Among them, the number of panel anomalies exceeds 14,000 as the basic data set.

[0082] Use the LabelImg labeling tool to label the collected panel anomaly data and build a panel anomaly database.

[0083] The distribution position and aspect ratio of the abnormal targets in the image of the panel abnormal depression data annotation samples are sorted and analyzed. The distribution position of the abnormal targets: the lower left corner of the entire image is the coordinate origin (0,0), and the coordinates of the center point of the target box represent the position of the abnormal target. The positions of the center points of all target boxes are counted to characterize the position distribution of the abnormal targets in the image, such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the darker the color of the center of the statistical graph, the greater the density and the more points are located at the current position. It can be seen from the statistical graph results that the depressions of the FAST panel are mostly located near the center of the entire image. For the aspect ratio of abnormal targets: the (width / height) of the target box is the aspect ratio of the abnormal target, and each point in the statistical graph represents the width and height of a target box. It can be seen from the statistical graph results that the depressions of the reflective surface unit panel are mostly small-sized targets that are difficult to detect (the point density is the highest in the lower left corner of the statistical graph). Figure 3 The figure shows the abnormal target location of the panel abnormality labeling sample. Figure 4Schematic diagram of the aspect ratio distribution of abnormal targets in the panel anomaly labeled samples.

[0084] The panel anomaly database is divided into training set, validation set and test set in a ratio of 8:1:1. The distribution of sample quantity is shown in Table 2.

[0085] Table 2: Statistics of sample quantity of panel anomaly database

[0086]

[0087]

[0088] The abnormal data of the FAST panel has the characteristics of small targets, high similarity, and large differences in different shooting angles. Based on the YOLOV5 algorithm, a method specifically used for small target detection is designed, such as mosaic enhancement of data. In addition, for the problem of large differences in different shooting angles, the laboratory team has carried out targeted solutions when designing the flight plan. When collecting data, shooting at a pitch angle of 15 degrees and minus 30 degrees has the best effect.

[0089] According to the characteristics of the panel anomaly database, the network parameters are set as follows: 150 training rounds, training batch size (batchsize) is 8, initial learning rate is 0.01, final learning rate is 0.001, the training process uses the SGD (Stochastic gradient descent) optimization algorithm to iteratively update the weights, the momentum of model training is 0.9, the IoU training threshold is 0.2, and the image enhancement uses mosaic enhancement, image HSV-hue enhancement, image HSV-saturation enhancement, image HSV value enhancement, image translation, image scaling, and image flipping. After inspection, the panel concave abnormal target, the FAST structural abnormal target detection model correctly detected 482 panel concave, with an identification accuracy of 85.6%, and an average detection time of 0.07s per image.

[0090] (II) Steel structure corrosion database

[0091] FAST is a large structure. During its operation, it needs to inspect and maintain multiple steel structures. The corrosion of the ring beam is a common problem that needs to be detected during the inspection process. In order to solve the metal corrosion problem of FAST, combined with the actual image characteristics of FAST, the steel structure corrosion images were collected.

[0092] The collected steel structure corrosion data were labeled using the LabelImg labeling tool. All corrosion data were labeled as corrosion classes, and a steel structure corrosion database was constructed. A total of 3196 corrosion anomalies were labeled.

[0093] like Figure 5 The figure shows the abnormal target location of the rust-marked sample. Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the aspect ratio distribution of abnormal targets in rust-labeled samples.

[0094] The steel structure corrosion database is divided into training set, validation set and test set in a ratio of 8:1:1. The sample quantity distribution is shown in Table 3.

[0095] Table 3: Statistics of the number of samples in the steel structure corrosion database

[0096]

[0097] (III) Screw loss database

[0098] The collected screw-off data were labeled using the LabelImg labeling tool. All screw-off data were labeled as screw-off categories, and a screw-off database was built. A total of 524 screw-off anomalies were labeled.

[0099] The distribution position and aspect ratio of the abnormal targets in the image of the screw falling data annotation samples are sorted and analyzed, such as Figure 7 The figure shows the abnormal target position of the screw falling off marking sample. Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the aspect ratio distribution of abnormal targets in the sample marked for screw falling off.

[0100] The screw-off database is divided into training set, validation set and test set in a ratio of 8:1:1. The distribution of sample quantity is shown in Table 4.

[0101] Table 4: Statistics of the number of samples in the screw-falling database

[0102]

[0103]

[0104] Due to the complex structure of the ring beam, data collection was done manually and by drone. The database has the characteristics of small targets and similar defect characteristics. Based on the YOLOV5 algorithm, a method specifically designed for screw shedding was designed, such as mosaic enhancement of data and rotation image enhancement. The following is the deep learning parameter setting for the characteristics of screw shedding data. Due to the small amount of data, the number of training rounds was appropriately increased.

[0105] According to the characteristics of the screw falling database, the network parameters are set as follows: 200 training rounds, the training batch size (batchsize) is 8, the initial learning rate is 0.01, the final learning rate is 0.001, the training process uses the SGD (Stochastic gradient descent) optimization algorithm to iteratively update the weights, the momentum of the model training is 0.9, the IoU training threshold is 0.2, and the image enhancement uses mosaic enhancement, image HSV-hue enhancement, image HSV-saturation enhancement, image HSV value enhancement, image translation, image scaling, and image flipping.

[0106] After inspection, there are 35 verification data images used for screw detachment detection, which contain a total of 61 abnormal targets of screw detachment. The FAST structural abnormal target detection model correctly detected 51 screw detachments, with an identification accuracy rate of 83.6%. The average detection time for each image is 0.23s.

[0107] (IV) Member Falling Database

[0108] The collected bar falling data were annotated using the LabelImg labeling tool. All bar falling or fracture data were annotated as bar falling classes, and a bar falling database was constructed. A total of 85 bar falling anomalies were annotated.

[0109] The distribution position and aspect ratio of abnormal targets in the image of the labeled samples of the rod falling data are sorted and analyzed, such as Fig. 9 The figure shows the abnormal target position of the sample marked by the rod falling off. Fig.10 Schematic diagram of the aspect ratio distribution of abnormal targets in the sample marked for rod shedding.

[0110] The rod fall-off database is divided into training set, validation set and test set in a ratio of 8:1:1. The sample quantity distribution is shown in Table 5.

[0111] Table 5: Statistical table of sample quantity of rod falling database

[0112]

[0113] Since the rod fracture mainly occurs in the cable net part below the FAST panel, drones cannot fly to collect data, and it is also difficult to obtain data manually. The database has a single sample and a small sample size, so this type of defect detection requires a richer sample size support. The following is the deep learning parameter setting for the characteristics of screw shedding data. Due to the small amount of data, the training rounds are appropriately increased.

[0114] According to the characteristics of the rod fracture database, the network parameters are set as follows: 200 training rounds, the training batch size (batchsize) is 8, the initial learning rate is 0.01, the final learning rate is 0.001, the training process uses the SGD (Stochastic gradient descent) optimization algorithm to iteratively update the weights, the momentum of the model training is 0.9, the IoU training threshold is 0.2, and the image enhancement uses mosaic enhancement, image HSV-hue enhancement, image HSV-saturation enhancement, image HSV value enhancement, image translation, image scaling, and image flipping.

[0115] After inspection, there are a total of 12 verification data images used for rod fracture detection, which contain a total of 17 abnormal targets of rod fracture. The FAST structural abnormal target detection model correctly detected 14 rod fractures, with an identification accuracy rate of 82.4%. The average detection time for each image is 0.14s.

[0116] Due to the theoretical and technical limitations of hardware equipment, the image captured by a single sensor cannot effectively and comprehensively describe the imaging scene. In the actual application of the system, the present invention fuses the significant features extracted from the source image into a single image through an appropriate fusion method, which contains richer information and is more conducive to subsequent applications. Through the bidirectional coupling of local features of different modalities, the interactive fusion of features between different modalities is realized, which effectively highlights the significant features between multi-source data and improves the detection accuracy.

[0117] Multi-source data fusion is divided into three parts: feature extraction, feature fusion, and image reconstruction. Before the popularization of deep learning, traditional fusion methods manually analyzed significant features from the source images by performing relevant mathematical transformations on the source images, designed fusion rules, and reconstructed high-level images. However, these methods have great limitations, such as poor expression of the extracted features and limited fusion performance. In order to overcome these limitations of traditional methods, deep learning was introduced to achieve differentiated feature extraction and adaptive learning by using different network branches to obtain a more reasonable image fusion strategy. Fusion methods based on deep learning can be divided into fusion methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and fusion methods based on generative adversarial networks (GANs). The CNN method that introduces convolutional neural networks into image fusion usually has two forms. One is to use a carefully designed network structure and loss function to achieve end-to-end feature extraction, feature fusion, and image reconstruction tasks. The second is to combine CNN with traditional methods and use CNN to achieve some image fusion tasks in traditional methods. The GAN method relies on the adversarial game between the generator and the discriminator, and simultaneously realizes the entire image fusion process. The above method has achieved good performance in image fusion, but the enhanced image contains more prominent target features, which will achieve good results when applied to abnormal target detection in unmanned inspection of FAST structure with multi-source data fusion.
