Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of low-altitude defense, airspace safety and unmanned aerial vehicle management technology, and in particular to a low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle reconnaissance and disposal integrated protection system. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology and 5G-A / 6G communication technology, drones are increasingly used in urban environments, covering multiple fields such as surveillance, logistics and transportation, and disaster relief. They have shown great potential in improving production efficiency, optimizing resource allocation, and promoting low-altitude economic construction. However, unauthorized drone activities pose potential security threats and pose hidden dangers to critical infrastructure and privacy. In response to illegal drone activities, anti-drone systems have received widespread attention, and their key functions include drone positioning, tracking, decision-making, and corresponding strategies. Among these functions, drone detection plays an intuitive and important role in achieving real-time tracking, evaluation, and decision-making. In addition, behavioral analysis based on precise positioning is essential for rapid response, effective crackdown on illegal activities, and protection of the security of the monitoring area. Therefore, improving the positioning and recognition accuracy of drones is the key to improving the overall performance of anti-drone systems. However, unlike the positioning of other targets (such as pedestrians or vehicles), drone detection in complex backgrounds faces severe challenges. First, due to the small size and low flight altitude of civilian drones, their signal characteristics are not significant to many sensors, making it difficult to distinguish them from the background and other flying targets (such as birds or aircraft). Secondly, drones have omnidirectional, high-speed and unpredictable movement characteristics in three-dimensional space, which requires the positioning algorithm to have powerful positioning capabilities with high precision, fast response and low false alarm rate.
[0003] Although there are many drone detection methods, there are still significant limitations in practical applications, which affect the overall effectiveness of anti-drone systems. Traditional radar detection methods have all-weather detection capabilities under different lighting conditions and high positioning accuracy. However, for drones with small radar cross-section (RCS), slow speed, and low flight altitude, the radar system is prone to detection blind spots, which limits its detection performance in low-altitude environments. Although microphone array-based technology can use the unique sound of the rotor to detect drones, the positioning effect is greatly reduced in noisy environments and the detection range is limited. Vision-based drone detection has unique advantages. It can achieve intuitive identification and tracking by capturing and analyzing the visual features of drones. However, in practical applications, it often faces problems such as large scale changes, low target resolution, insufficient detailed features, and susceptibility to background occlusion, which affect the overall detection performance of the system. Therefore, studying how to effectively detect and track drones is not only of great significance for urban airspace management and security monitoring, but also the key to promoting the rapid development of the low-altitude economy.

[0073] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a low-altitude UAV reconnaissance and disposal integrated protection system capable of improving overall detection performance.
[0074] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0075] Embodiment 1:
[0076] This embodiment provides a low-altitude UAV reconnaissance and disposal integrated protection system, which includes the following modules: the low-altitude intrusion detection and tracking module obtains the target area information through radar and camera, performs 4DFFT preprocessing on the radar data and image preprocessing on the RGB image respectively; the preprocessed data is unified into the format required by the target detection and tracking algorithm through the respective input adaptation modules to ensure the consistency and compatibility of the algorithm processing; finally, the proposed multi-source information fusion decision-making mechanism is used to realize real-time and high-precision UAV detection and tracking functions.

This application can effectively realize the reconnaissance and disposal of low-altitude UAVs and ensure the safety management in the security control area. The overall flow chart of the system is as follows Figure 1 The specific process includes:
[0077] Step 1: Low-altitude intrusion detection and tracking
[0078] (1) Radar and vision fusion preprocessing
[0079] The present invention combines a high-resolution camera and an ultra-long-range millimeter-wave radar to detect and track low-altitude drones. Since radar and cameras are different types of sensors and have inconsistent sampling frequencies, this leads to differences in time and space between the two types of data. Therefore, before fusing radar data and visual data, time synchronization and spatial calibration are required. Time synchronization is relatively simple. By unifying all sensors to the reference frequency of the lowest frequency sensor, frame synchronization is performed using down sampling, as detailed in Figure 2 shown.
[0080] Since drones move randomly in three-dimensional space, it is difficult to effectively locate drones using traditional two-dimensional range-Doppler spectrum because the signal lacks pitch angle information. Therefore, in order to more accurately extract targets and suppress clutter, it is necessary to observe the time-varying motion state of the target, including distance, speed, azimuth, and pitch angle information. To this end, millimeter-wave radar can be used to obtain time-varying four-dimensional observation data of slow targets, thereby obtaining the three-dimensional motion trajectory of the target.
[0081] According to the Time Division Multiplexing Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (TDM-MIMO) strategy, N T Transmitting antenna and receiving antenna N R The MIMO array is combined into N T N R A two-dimensional virtual array of array elements. Taking the frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCM) millimeter wave radar as an example, assuming that the signal Transmitted to the monitoring area, the backscattered signal from the target can be approximately expressed as:
[0082]
[0083] Where A is the amplitude, τ = 2[R0+v0(t f +t p )] / c0 represents the round trip time, t f ∈[0,T c ] represents fast time, T c represents the pulse duration, t c =n c T c (n c =0,1,2,...,N c -1) is the pulse number, R0 is the emission chirp number, R0 is the initial tilt distance, v0 is the radial velocity of the target, c0 is the speed of light, k = c0 / f c is the wavelength, f c is the carrier frequency, θ0 and are the initial azimuth and elevation angles respectively, n a =0,1,2,...,N a -1 and n e =0,1,2,...,N e -1 are the column and row numbers of the two-dimensional virtual array, The rectangular function is shown as follows:
[0084]
[0085] The first antenna is used as the reference element. Applying the 4D Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to the inputs in equation (1) yields:
[0086]
[0087] where f r , f v , f a and f e are the frequency variables of range, Doppler, azimuth and elevation respectively, sinc(·)=sin(·) / · represents the function, and A0 is a constant. The detailed 4DFFT cube data processing flow is as follows Figure 3 shown.
[0088] (2) Adaptive Gated Convolutional Object Detection and Tracking Network
[0089] After preprocessing, the radar 4D cube data and RGB images have significant differences in characteristics. In order to achieve compatible processing of these two heterogeneous modal data, this paper proposes a target detection and tracking network based on adaptive gated convolution, such as Figure 4 shown.
[0090] The adaptive gated convolution target detection and tracking network mainly consists of two parts: an input adaptation module and a feature extraction module. The present invention proposes an adaptive gated convolutional neural network in the feature extraction module, which can extract the deep semantic information of RGB images and the temporal features of 4D cube radar data for different types of input data. In addition, an adaptive calculation mechanism is proposed in the input adaptation module to process different types of input data, ensure the consistency of data input, and uniformly transmit it to the feature extraction module, and finally efficiently complete the perception, detection and tracking tasks.
[0091] The adaptive gated convolutional network is composed of a stack of adaptive gated convolutional blocks. The adaptive gated convolutional blocks include multi-scale kernel convolution and adaptive gating, which aims to extract information with spatiotemporal multi-scale features from complex input data. Figure 5 shown.
[0092] Specifically, the input data X inputThe size of is B×C×H×W. For RGB image input, C contains deep semantic information from different color channels; for radar 4D cube data, C contains the real and imaginary information of signals and frequencies from different chirps. First, the input data is biased by group normalization, and then the number of channels is expanded to twice the original through 1×1 convolution. Subsequently, after the data is split through the channels, it is passed to the multi-scale kernel convolution branch and the adaptive gating branch for feature extraction. In the multi-scale kernel convolution branch, the data is passed to multiple parallel convolution branches, each branch uses convolution kernels of different sizes for feature extraction; here, 3×3 and 7×7 depthwise separable convolutions are used for feature extraction to capture local and global spatiotemporal information of each dimension under different receptive fields; the extracted features are standardized by group normalization to ensure the stability and consistency of the features. In the adaptive gating branch, the input data is first reduced to 1 by different 1×1 convolutions to prepare for the subsequent calculation of attention. Then, 1×7 convolutions combined with S-type activation functions are used to refine channel attention, and 7×7 convolutions combined with S-type activation functions are used in another sub-branch to refine spatial attention. Next, adaptive attention gating of each unit is generated by performing dot product operations on the channel attention map and the spatial attention map, thereby enhancing the representation ability and task adaptability. Finally, the output results of the two branches are fused by element-by-element multiplication to achieve the joint expression of channel and spatial attention features. Subsequently, the fusion result is further fused by using 1×1 convolution as a channel confuser to further fuse the information of different channels and restore the dimension to C. Residual connections are introduced to ensure the original feature information and promote efficient propagation of gradients.
[0093] The input adaptation module is divided into two types: radar input adaptation module and image input adaptation module. It mainly preprocesses the input data of different modes to provide input optimization for feature extraction of feature encoder. Its detailed structure is as follows: Figure 6 shown.
[0094] The image input adaptation module preprocesses the RGB image. First, a 7×7 convolution operation with a stride of 4 and a padding of 3 is used to adjust it to the input dimension of the model and compress the spatial dimension. Then, the nonlinear expression capability is introduced through the GELU activation function and normalized by GN. The radar input adaptation module preprocesses the radar 4D cube data. First, the input data is split according to the channel dimension and the channels are rearranged in a cross-stacked manner. Then, a 7×7 group convolution is performed to achieve information confusion between different groups of features. Then, similar to the image input adaptation module, a 7×7 convolution operation is used to adjust the features to the input dimension of the model, and the feature representation is further standardized and optimized through the GELU activation function and GN normalization to complete the preprocessing of the radar data. Since the radar data needs to be predicted in the 4D cube space, the stride of the 7×7 convolution is set to 1 to retain a higher spatial resolution.
[0095] (3) Decision-making based on multi-source information fusion
[0096] In a complex low-altitude environment, it is difficult to meet the needs of target detection and tracking by relying solely on radar or vision: radar is insufficient in resolution and semantic information, while vision is less robust to the environment. Using either technology alone will lead to performance bottlenecks in the perception system. In order to fully utilize the complementary advantages of the two modalities, this paper proposes a multi-information fusion decision, as detailed in Figure 7 shown.
[0097] Specifically, by detecting the 4D cube data, the approximate position and motion state of the candidate target can be obtained quickly and at low cost, and the predicted azimuth and pitch angles can be used to provide prior information for visual detection. Subsequently, visual detection can finely perceive and classify the candidate areas provided by the radar, making up for the shortcomings of the radar's low resolution and insufficient details. This avoids the high computational cost of visual global detection and ensures the accuracy of target detection.
[0098] The processing flow chart of the entire low-altitude intrusion detection and tracking module is as follows: Figure 8 As shown:
[0099] Step 2: Drone Identification
[0100] Drone RFID tags usually adopt a passive structure, and their operation depends on obtaining energy from the received reader signal and communicating with the ground base station by modulating the backscattered signal. During the communication process between the ground base station and the drone, especially when the ground base station reader performs data storage operations, communication failure may occur due to signal interference. Specifically, when the ground base station reader signal received by the drone tag is interfered with by other readers, or the drone tag signal received by the ground base station reader is interfered with by other drones, multiple signals with the same frequency may be received at the same time. In this case, the signals will interfere with each other, causing the ground base station to be unable to correctly identify the drone's identity information, which in turn causes signal collision problems. This collision phenomenon significantly affects the reliability and efficiency of communication, and is a challenge that needs to be addressed in drone RFID communications.
[0101] Aiming at the low-altitude safety control scenario, the present invention proposes a joint optimization power control and time slot allocation algorithm, as detailed in Fig. 9 shown.
[0102] The algorithm optimizes the recognition process of drone RFID tags by the ground base station by introducing a polling mechanism. Assume that the ground base station deploys n readers in a monitoring area with a radius of R. The transmission power of these readers can be adjusted to avoid overlapping recognition ranges. The working channel of the reader can be randomly selected from m channels. When the ground base station is active, each of its readers sends polling instructions to multiple drone tags within its coverage area. The drone tags return the ID information to the reader through backscatter modulation signals according to a predetermined communication protocol. Within the monitoring range of the base station, due to the mutual interference of signals between readers, especially as the number of readers increases, the interference phenomenon will become more serious. In addition, when multiple drones sharing the same channel respond to the reader instructions at the same time, signal collision problems will occur. In order to solve this problem, the present invention uses the widely used and standardized MAC layer protocol-EPC Global Class-1Generation-2 (C1G2). In this protocol, the operation cycle of each reader is T r At the beginning of each polling cycle, the reader randomly decides whether to perform polling, selects the working channel, and sets the transmission power. According to the EPC C1G2 protocol, the reader first issues a Query command to start the first frame. The rest of the frame contains multiple time slots. Each drone tag randomly selects a time slot to send a response message. After the frame ends, the base station uses maximum likelihood estimation to determine the number of drone tags N according to the drone response status of each time slot (including three types: idle, successful, and collision). r , and calculate the optimal true length based on this to start the next frame. Define the effective polling time of reader o as Q o, the polling period is T o This method improves the efficiency and reliability of drone cluster identification in complex scenarios by optimizing the polling process, reducing channel interference and collision probability.
[0103] Step 3: Drone Intelligent Scheduling Strategy
[0104] With the rapid popularization of drone technology, its application scope continues to expand, especially in the fields of real-time monitoring and security patrols, but it also poses new challenges to low-altitude safety and protection. The lowering of the threshold for drone operation has led to frequent "black flying" phenomena. These unauthorized drones may be active in no-fly zones or even maliciously used, directly threatening regional security. In addition, the low-altitude environment itself is full of complexity and dynamic changes (such as buildings, vegetation, birds and other interference factors), which further increases the difficulty of protection. The unpredictability and diversity of emergencies (such as drone power exhaustion, hardware failure or communication terminal, etc.) make low-altitude protection tasks more arduous. In multi-drone scheduling, the differences in task priority, flight status and resource distribution make university scheduling difficult, and the contradiction between the limited battery life of drones and the growing task requirements further aggravates the pressure of resource allocation. In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a drone intelligent scheduling strategy, which can achieve efficient drone scheduling in complex dynamic environments by combining intelligent optimization and reinforcement learning. The algorithm is mainly used to optimize the task allocation, path planning and resource management of UAVs to ensure the efficient operation of the system in a changing environment, especially in low-altitude reconnaissance and protection missions. Fig.10 The specific steps are as follows:
[0105] (1) State perception: Each UAV perceives its local environment based on the current environmental state (e.g., low-altitude intrusion trajectory, wind speed, obstacles, etc.). The perception information includes target location, distance, speed, etc., which is transmitted as input to the dispatch center controller. This perception information helps the dispatch center optimize and adjust the UAV's mission.
[0106] (2) Strategy generation (genetic algorithm initialization): Use genetic algorithms to optimize the initial strategy of the UAV. The genetic algorithm generates a set of initial scheduling strategies, which may include action selection in terms of path planning, task allocation, cruising speed, etc. The genetic algorithm enables the UAV to initially have the ability to perform tasks by simulating evolutionary operations such as selection, crossover, and mutation.
[0107] (3) Reinforcement learning update: Based on the initial strategy, the drone uses DoubleQ-learning to update its strategy through interaction with the environment. Compared with the traditional Q-learning method, Double Q-learning reduces the problem of overestimation bias and improves the stability of learning by introducing two Q networks (Q1 and Q2). After each action is performed, the drone adjusts its strategy based on feedback (such as rewards or penalties). The reward function is constrained by the drone's mission, coverage, and confidence level of low-altitude intrusion targets.
[0108] (4) Balance between exploration and exploitation: In reinforcement learning, drones need to strike a balance between exploring new strategies and exploiting existing strategies. Drones explore unknown strategies to discover potential better solutions, while using existing strategies to perform current tasks. By dynamically adjusting the ratio of exploration and exploitation, drones can improve the efficiency of the overall reconnaissance mission.
[0109] (5) Real-time feedback and optimization: The dispatch center receives data feedback from each drone (such as target detection results, environmental changes, etc.) and performs real-time analysis and decision adjustments. The reinforcement learning algorithm continuously optimizes the drone's behavior strategy by analyzing the feedback to ensure that it can flexibly respond to different low-altitude intrusion threats in a complex and dynamic environment.
[0110] (6) Task allocation and path planning: Based on the strategy of reinforcement learning optimization, the intelligent dispatch center replans the path and assigns tasks to each drone. Path planning can dynamically avoid obstacles and ensure that there are no task conflicts between drones. In this way, the system can achieve all-round, no-dead-angle low-altitude reconnaissance and protection.
[0111] (7) Long-term reward optimization: The goal of reinforcement learning is to maximize the long-term cumulative reward. Therefore, during the mission execution, the drone will continuously optimize its strategy through trial and error, pursuing long-term benefits rather than short-term returns. Through this process, the system can gradually improve scheduling efficiency and task completion in different mission scenarios.
[0112] Step 4: Alert and Handling
[0113] (1) Large-scale model-assisted analysis and decision-making model construction
[0114] Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) is one of the latest achievements in the field of artificial intelligence. It can generate original content, including text, images, audio and other multimedia content, by learning data patterns and rules. AIGC can play an important role in the reconnaissance and disposal of low-altitude drones. Low-altitude disposal methods are usually recorded in various regulations and books, while the airspace records of the measured area and the low-altitude route records are stored in an information system with inspection logs as the core. At the same time, the latest guidelines for low-altitude management often exist in the form of articles or regulations. Low-altitude reconnaissance and disposal tasks rely on a full understanding and judgment of airspace, mission resources and guidelines. In some cases, dispatchers do not have a full understanding of the disposal resources currently available, which may lead to incorrect disposal decisions. For example, when identifying the phenomenon of illegal flying, dispatchers may lack comprehensive resource information and make less than optimal response decisions. At this time, the auxiliary strategy generated by the large model can help dispatchers fully understand the current dispatchable resources and formulate more accurate and complete disposal plans.
[0115] In order to make full use of advanced technology to realize the integrated protection of UAV low-altitude reconnaissance and disposal, the present invention constructs an intelligent large model of the dispatching center platform, as shown in detail. Fig.11 shown.
[0116] The training process mainly includes the following steps: 1) Corpus collection and preprocessing: Through crawler technology, format conversion and data cleaning, the corpus data required for experimental training is preliminarily collected; 2) Constructing a question-answering data set for low-altitude applications and management: Using knowledge to guide the generation of question-answering data, and optimizing the data quality, finally generating a high-quality question-answering data set for the supervised fine-tuning stage. 3) Model training and evaluation: Based on the benchmark model, through three stages of continued pre-training, supervised fine-tuning and direct preference optimization, the intelligent large model of the dispatching center platform is gradually constructed. Finally, the model is verified by automatic evaluation and manual evaluation. Considering the high cost of ChatGPT fine-tuning, the present invention uses open source general models such as the LLaMA series as a benchmark. The training data mainly comes from open source data sets and automatically constructed small batch question-answering data. Although it has not been cleaned and iterated for optimization, it basically meets the requirements. The training method is mainly supervised fine-tuning or fine-tuning combined with continued pre-training, and there are currently few studies on further optimization based on human feedback preferences. Therefore, the present invention proposes to realize the full-process training from continued pre-training to human preference optimization through massive and high-quality dialogue data.
[0117] (2) Intrusion threat processing and response
[0118] In the integrated protection system for low-altitude UAV reconnaissance and disposal, the process of warning and intrusion disposal mainly depends on the threat identification and decision support function of the intelligent large model. First, the system continuously monitors the measured airspace through all-weather detection equipment, and collects data such as target flight trajectory and spectrum characteristics in real time. For each potential target, the system will perform preliminary threat identification based on flight behavior, speed, location and other information. When an abnormal or possible low-altitude intrusion phenomenon is identified, the system will immediately issue an alarm signal to notify the dispatch center. After the alarm signal is triggered, the dispatch center platform will combine the intelligent large model to generate an auxiliary decision-making plan to further analyze and process the intrusion target. For targets that are judged to be non-threatening, the system will continue to track and monitor their threat level changes; for targets that are judged to be high-threatening, the system will immediately start the disposal program, automatically guide the video surveillance to aim at the target and accurately track it, collect image data and transmit it to the dispatch center for analysis. The dispatch center will analyze the image information and target characteristics, combined with the currently dispatchable resources, to develop the best disposal plan. The plan will automatically link and pass it to relevant personnel to command and dispatch appropriate drones, patrol cars or other embodied equipment for real-time response. Dispatchers can also conduct real-time command and dispatch through the intelligent human-computer interaction interface to ensure rapid and accurate handling of intrusion incidents and to maximize the safety and stability of low-altitude airspace.
[0119] The low-altitude UAV reconnaissance and disposal integrated protection system provided by the present invention proposes a series of innovative methods and improvement measures to address the technical bottlenecks in the current UAV detection and protection field, effectively improving the ability of UAV detection, tracking, identification and disposal. The system uses radar and visual data fusion processing. The present invention effectively combines the characteristics of 4DFFT cube data and RGB images, and proposes an adaptive gated convolutional neural network to achieve accurate detection and tracking of slow-moving, hovering and complex background UAV targets, greatly reducing the blind spot problem of traditional radars when detecting low RCS targets, and significantly improving the accuracy and robustness of low-altitude UAV detection. In terms of UAV identity authentication, the present invention adopts RFID tag technology, combined with power control and time slot allocation optimization algorithms, to efficiently verify the legitimacy of the identity of UAVs in the area, and provide technical guarantees for the accurate identification of illegal targets. The system optimizes the UAV scheduling scheme through reinforcement learning, realizes dynamic adjustment in path planning, task allocation and resource management, ensures that the coverage is maximized and the task execution efficiency is optimized when multiple UAVs work together, can flexibly respond to emergencies in dynamic environments, and improve the monitoring capability and response speed of low-altitude protection areas. The warning and disposal module, combined with artificial intelligence algorithms, can assess the threat level in real time and trigger a variety of disposal strategies including warning, isolation, interference, and interception according to specific circumstances, ensuring the rapid control and effective strike against illegal drones.
[0120] The present invention is not only technologically innovative, but also has great value in terms of economic and social benefits. It significantly reduces the cost of low-altitude safety control and management by improving the intelligence level of low-altitude UAV management and dispatch, improves the safety of key infrastructure, promotes the healthy development of the low-altitude economy, and promotes the sustainable development of smart security. Therefore, the present invention provides a comprehensive and efficient technical solution for low-altitude UAV reconnaissance and disposal, and has broad application prospects and promotion value.
