Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of information technology, and particularly relates to an intelligent path planning system for submarine pipeline laying based on deep learning. Background Art

[0002] In the field of submarine pipeline laying projects, pipeline laying path planning is a key link to ensure the smooth implementation of the project, improve project efficiency and safety. However, when laying pipelines in complex submarine environments, various technical challenges are often faced.

[0003] With the continuous deepening of ocean resource development, the demand for submarine pipeline laying is increasing day by day. However, the submarine environment is extremely complex, with diverse topographies and landforms, including various slope changes and obstacles. Accurately obtaining and analyzing submarine terrain information has become a major problem in path planning. In the past, it was difficult to obtain a feature map that could accurately reflect the actual situation of the submarine terrain based on the acquired terrain data, and the ability to identify submarine obstacles was limited, seriously affecting the accuracy and reliability of path planning.

[0004] In terms of path planning algorithms, traditional methods also have limitations. When dealing with complex submarine terrains, previous path planning algorithms are difficult to make full use of terrain feature information, and the generated initial pipeline network layout plan is often not reasonable enough to effectively avoid complex terrain areas, increasing construction difficulty and costs. Moreover, in traditional technologies, there is a lack of effective algorithms and models, and the data analysis ability is low, making it difficult to generate a pipeline laying path that meets the actual engineering requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an intelligent path planning system for submarine pipeline laying based on deep learning that can achieve automated, multi-objective, and dynamically adaptable path planning for submarine pipeline laying in view of the above technical problems.

[0006] The present application provides an intelligent path planning system for submarine pipeline laying based on deep learning, including:

[0007] A sea area terrain feature extraction subsystem, configured to obtain terrain data of a target submarine area and generate a sea area terrain feature map of the target submarine area based on the terrain data, where the terrain data includes slope features and obstacle distribution features;

[0008] A global laying path planning subsystem, configured to generate an initial pipeline network layout plan between a preset pipeline laying start point and an end point according to the sea area terrain feature map by using a graph search algorithm, where the initial pipeline network layout plan includes node coordinate information of connection nodes and path topology information of connection paths;

[0009] The local laying path planning subsystem is used to calculate the laying complexity parameters of the connection paths in the initial pipeline network layout plan based on a deep learning model, and use a multi-objective optimization algorithm to iteratively adjust the node coordinate information and path topology information to generate an intelligent path for submarine pipeline laying. The optimization objectives of the multi-objective optimization algorithm include the laying complexity parameters.

[0010] The above intelligent path planning system for submarine pipeline laying based on deep learning obtains terrain data including slope characteristics and obstacle distribution characteristics through the sea area terrain feature extraction subsystem, enabling the system to comprehensively and meticulously grasp the terrain conditions of the target submarine area, accurately present the terrain complexity and obstacle distribution, and provide accurate and crucial basic information for subsequent path planning.

[0011] Through the global laying path planning subsystem, using a graph search algorithm to plan the initial pipeline network layout plan can enable the submarine pipeline laying path planning process to fully analyze the submarine terrain features, effectively avoid terrain complex areas and obstacle areas, and improve the rationality and feasibility of the initial plan.

[0012] By using the local laying path planning subsystem to calculate the laying complexity parameters with the help of a deep learning model, various factors affecting the laying difficulty of submarine pipelines can be integrated, improving the practicality of path planning. And by using a multi-objective optimization algorithm to iteratively adjust the node coordinate information and path topology information, multiple preset objectives can be taken into account simultaneously, and then an intelligent path more in line with the actual engineering requirements can be generated, improving the overall quality and comprehensive benefits of the submarine pipeline laying path planning.
