DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0014] The embodiments of the technical solutions of the present invention for invention patents will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention for invention patents, and thus are only examples and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention for invention patents.

[0015] Figure 1 The flowchart of an AI pollution source tracing method based on the combined use of lidar and unmanned aerial vehicle provided for this invention patent. An AI pollution source tracing method based on the combined use of lidar and unmanned aerial vehicle provided in this embodiment is applied to a pollution source tracing system, including a lidar device, a cloud server, an unmanned aerial vehicle, and a ground client. The lidar device, the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the ground client are all connected to the cloud server. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following steps S10 - S40: In step S10, the lidar device acquires the lidar point cloud data of the area to be monitored and the coordinate information corresponding to the hot spot cloud data in the hot spot map generated from the lidar point cloud data; In this implementation, the coordinate information of the hot spot cloud data can accurately identify the distribution area of pollutants, providing a key clue for subsequent pollution source positioning.

[0016] In step S20, the lidar device sends the coordinate information corresponding to the hot spot cloud data in the hot spot map generated from the lidar point cloud data to the cloud server through a network signal; In this implementation, by transmitting data to the cloud server in real time, the system can quickly respond to pollution incidents and notify relevant departments to take measures in a timely manner. The cloud server plans the flight path of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the coordinate information of the hot spot cloud data to ensure that the unmanned aerial vehicle can cover all hot spot areas. Path planning needs to consider the flight speed, endurance, and time requirements of the acquisition task of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0017] In step S30, the cloud server controls the unmanned aerial vehicle to collect at least two visual information of the area to be monitored according to the coordinate information corresponding to the hot spot cloud data in the hot spot map generated from the lidar point cloud data. Among them, the visual information includes high-definition image information and thermal imaging information; In this implementation, the unmanned aerial vehicle has the characteristics of fast response and flexible maneuverability, and can quickly reach the hot spot area to collect high-definition images and thermal imaging information. At the same time, real-time data transmission ensures that the cloud server can obtain the latest monitoring information in a timely manner. The combination of high-definition image information and thermal imaging information provides multi-dimensional data support for pollution source tracing. High-definition images can provide visual details, while thermal imaging information can reveal temperature anomalies. The combination of the two can more comprehensively identify pollution sources.

[0018] In step S40, the cloud server at least checks the recognition results of the high-definition image information and the thermal imaging information, and preferably transmits the recognition results that conform to each visual information to the ground client; In this implementation method, the AI algorithm is used to evaluate multiple recognition results and select the result that best conforms to logic and common sense. Based on this, multi-spectral imaging technology can also be used to generate images by capturing spectral information in multiple specific bands. It can not only obtain information within the visible light range but also extend to bands such as near-infrared and short-wave infrared. By taking advantage of the different reflectivities of different substances in different bands, multi-spectral imaging can more accurately identify the target substance and can be used to analyze pollutant components, concentrations, etc.

[0019] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, in step S40, the cloud server at least checks the recognition results of the high-definition image information and the thermal imaging information, and preferably transmits the recognition results that conform to each visual information to the ground client, including the following steps S41 - S45: In step S41, the edge feature information in the high-definition image information is extracted using the underlying logic formula of YOLOv8, and a recognition target set is established. Among them, the recognition target set includes air pollution recognition targets and general recognition targets. The edge feature information extraction steps are as follows: First, by introducing more skip connections and Split operations, the gradient flow is enhanced and the computational amount is reduced. Its code logic formula is expressed as: Among them, the Split operation divides the input feature map into two parts. One part directly passes through multiple Bottleneck layers, and the other part serves as a Shortcut connection. Finally, the features are fused through a convolutional layer; Then, multi-scale feature fusion is achieved by concatenating the maximum pooling results of different scales. Its code logic formula is expressed as: ; In this implementation method, the edge feature refers to the area where the brightness or color in the image changes significantly, usually corresponding to the contour of an object or the boundary between different objects. Through the edge detection algorithm, the contour of the pollutant or object can be clearly extracted, and information such as the type, size, and position of the recognition target can be judged through the contour of the pollutant or object.

[0020] In step S42, the general recognition targets on the edge of the air pollution recognition targets in the high-definition image recognition target set are obtained as the high-definition image inference targets, and the first recognition result set is inferred based on the air pollution recognition targets and the high-definition image inference target set; In this implementation method, common air pollution targets include: bare soil, dust, smoke, straw burning, etc. Common general recognition targets include: fog guns, fog gun machines, fog gun vehicles, earth-hauling vehicles, off-road vehicles, dust-proof nets, sprinklers, concrete, semi-trailers, moving cars, moving buses, etc. General recognition targets around air pollution targets are identified as high-definition image inference targets. Based on this, the absence of a dust-proof net near bare soil, the absence of a sprinkler or fog gun near dust, the presence of a moving car or a moving bus near dust, etc. all belong to the recognition results of air pollution. It should be noted that the recognition results need to be determined by means of the three-dimensional spatial relationship between air pollution targets and high-definition image inference targets, that is, at least two perspectives of top view and side view are required, which can significantly reduce the misjudgment phenomenon caused by a single perspective.

[0021] In step S43, the high-definition image information is fused with the thermal imaging information to obtain the thermal imaging information characteristics of any target in the air pollution recognition target and its edge general recognition target. In this implementation method, at the same viewing angle, the high-definition image information and the thermal imaging information can complement each other, reduce the limitations of a single information source, and can analyze the characteristics of the target more comprehensively, improving the accuracy of recognition. For example: A common air pollution target is dust, and the high-definition image inference targets are chimneys and moving cars. By analogy with the positions of the chimneys and moving cars in the high-definition image information, the temperature distribution of the chimneys and moving cars can be obtained in the thermal imaging information.

[0022] In step S44, if all the thermal imaging information characteristics match the preset characteristics of the air pollution recognition target and its edge general recognition target, the first recognition result set is directly output. In this implementation method, based on step S43, if it is obtained in the thermal imaging information that the temperatures of the dust, chimney, and moving car are all in a non-high-temperature state, the recognition result of air pollution is that there is a moving car near the dust (the non-high-temperature chimney has no logical relationship with the dust).

[0023] In step S45, if the thermal imaging information characteristics of the air pollution recognition target and its edge general recognition target do not match their preset characteristics, the air pollution recognition target and the high-definition image inference target are modified, and a second recognition result set is inferred and output according to the new set. In this implementation method, based on step S43, if it is obtained in the thermal imaging information that the temperatures of the dust and chimney are both in a high-temperature state and the temperature of the car is in a non-high-temperature state, it means that the air pollution target is misjudged. The air pollution recognition target is modified to smoke, and the recognition result of air pollution is that there is a chimney near the smoke (the non-high-temperature moving car has no logical relationship with the smoke).

[0024] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, in step S10, the lidar device acquires the lidar point cloud data of the area to be monitored and the coordinate information corresponding to the hot spot cloud data in the hot spot map generated from the lidar point cloud data, including the following steps S11 - S14: In step S11, the lidar device is used to obtain the hot spot map generated from the lidar point cloud data; In this implementation, lidar is a technology that uses lasers for distance measurement and target detection. When operating, it makes a 360° scan in at least one plane, with a single scan angle of 2° and a scan radius of 6 km. A scan plane is divided into 180 scan intervals in total. The 360° scan can cover the entire horizontal direction and is scanned in at least one plane, which may involve multiple vertical planes to obtain three - dimensional information.

[0025] In step S12, if the percentage of the difference between the particulate matter reflection detection frequency detected by the lidar device and the particulate matter reflection standard frequency and the particulate matter reflection standard frequency is greater than the standard threshold, the reflection area within this scan interval will be marked as the hot spot cloud data in the hot spot map; In this implementation, when the percentage difference of the reflection area exceeds the standard threshold, this area will be marked as the hot spot cloud data in the hot spot map. The hot spot cloud data indicates that this area may be an area with a relatively high pollutant concentration and requires further attention and analysis.

[0026] In step S13, the distance between the lidar device and the hot spot cloud data is calculated according to the reflection time difference of the hot spot cloud data detected within the scan interval and the lidar wave velocity; In this implementation, the lidar device emits laser pulses towards the target area. After the laser pulses encounter the target object, they are reflected back to the lidar device. The device measures the distance to the target object by receiving the reflected light. By measuring the flight time (TOF) or phase difference of the laser pulses, the distance to the target object is calculated, and three - dimensional hot spot cloud data is generated in combination with the scan angle.

[0027] In step S14, the coordinate information of the lidar device and the hot spot cloud data relative to the lidar device is fused with the GPS data of the lidar device to obtain the coordinate information corresponding to the hot spot cloud data in the hot spot map generated from the lidar point cloud data; In this implementation, fusing the relative coordinate information of the hot spot cloud data acquired by the lidar device with the GPS data of the lidar device is a key step in achieving the precise positioning of the hot spot cloud data. This process ensures that the coordinate information of the hot spot cloud data is converted from relative coordinates to absolute geographical coordinates (such as longitude and latitude), thereby enabling the accurate positioning of the pollution source in the actual environment.

[0028] The following are the device embodiments of the present disclosure, which can be used to implement the method embodiments of the present disclosure.
