Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water quality early warning, and in particular to a method for constructing an automatic early warning network for water quality monitoring at an estuary entering the sea. Background Art

[0002] The water quality of estuaries, as the confluence of rivers and oceans, has an important impact on the ecological environment and human activities. However, since estuary water quality is affected by multiple factors, such as hydrometeorology, land pollution emissions, ocean tides, etc., monitoring and early warning of estuary water quality has always been a complex and challenging task.

[0003] Traditional water quality monitoring methods for estuaries usually rely on manual sampling and laboratory analysis, which is not only inefficient but also difficult to achieve real-time monitoring and rapid early warning.

[0004] With the development of science and technology, especially the advancement of Internet of Things technology and automated monitoring technology, it has become possible to build an efficient and real-time water quality monitoring and early warning network for estuaries entering the sea. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for constructing an automated early warning network for water quality monitoring at estuaries entering the sea, which solves the technical problem that existing methods for monitoring water quality at estuaries entering the sea usually rely on manual sampling and laboratory analysis, which is not only inefficient but also difficult to achieve real-time monitoring and rapid early warning.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for constructing an automatic early warning network for water quality monitoring at an estuary entering the sea, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Data collection: collect water quality information of rivers entering the sea on a regular or real-time basis, and transmit the collected data to the data center;

[0008] Data preprocessing, screening the received data, and after screening, performing dimensionality reduction processing on the screened data to determine the specified factors;

[0009] Model construction, first determine the key factors affecting water quality, then determine the thresholds of the key factors, and explore the impact of the associations between the key factors on the water quality, and finally, conduct real-time automatic monitoring of the data and issue warnings;

[0010] Model training and verification: using historical water quality data to train the model and optimize model parameters, analyzing the error between the model's prediction results and actual monitoring data, and evaluating the accuracy of the model;

[0011] The model is applied by automatically accessing the database interface of the real-time incoming data through the system and obtaining the data. After processing and analyzing the data, it is determined whether the system triggers the early warning mechanism according to the analysis results.

[0012] The data collection includes periodic or real-time data collection of the water quality of the estuary and transmitting the collected data to the data center. The specific steps are:

[0013] Using drones to obtain real-time remote sensing image data of key areas of estuaries, and then collecting historical data of the key areas for model construction and training;

[0014] Afterwards, a series of water quality monitoring sensors are deployed in the key areas to collect key water quality parameters of the key areas in real time;

[0015] Then, the water quality data of the key area is collected regularly or in real time using automated monitoring equipment, and the collected water quality parameters and water quality data are transmitted to the data center via wireless communication technology.

[0016] The data preprocessing includes screening the received data and performing dimensionality reduction processing on the screened data after screening. The specific steps of determining the specified factors are as follows:

[0017] Preprocessing the remote sensing image data acquired by the drone and calculating NDVI to obtain the NDVI data as a factor for monitoring the overall water quality;

[0018] Screening the collected historical water quality data to find out the peak value, mean value, range value and real-time value of the indicator stage, and forming a factor database suitable for data mining;

[0019] Afterwards, the filtered data is subjected to dimensionality reduction processing to determine the index factors.

[0020] The model is constructed by first determining the key factors affecting water quality, then determining the thresholds of the key factors, and exploring the impact of the associations between the key factors on the water quality. Finally, the specific steps of automatically monitoring and warning the data in real time are as follows:

[0021] Determine the key factors affecting water quality by constructing a neural network and using the neural network algorithm to analyze the pre-processed NDVI data and water quality data to obtain the key factors affecting water quality;

[0022] Determine the threshold of the key factor, discretize the historical data of the key factor using the DBSCAN clustering algorithm, and segment the data. In the segmented data, select the corresponding numerical segment as the threshold range according to the value of the time data of the water body eutrophication in the historical data, and label the numerical segment with A, B, C...;

[0023] Mining the influence of the association between factors on water quality, using FP-growth algorithm to mine the association between each of the key factors, and summarizing the association rules between all the key factors, mining the influence of the association between the key factors on the water quality;

[0024] Real-time data is automatically monitored and warned, and an automatic warning model is established using a decision tree algorithm. When real-time data is transmitted to the system, decision tree rules are set. That is, if it exceeds the threshold range or meets the association rules, the system will give feedback and issue a warning. If the above rules are not met, the system will not give feedback and issue a warning.

[0025] The key factors are determined by using a multi-input single-output feedforward neural network, dividing it into several levels, including an input layer, a hidden layer and an output layer. When training the neural network, the prediction value of the model is measured by a loss function.

[0026] Among them, the basic structure of the key factors is as follows:

[0027] Input Layer:

[0028] X=[X 1 , X 2 ,......X n ] T

[0029] Where n is the number of input water quality parameters.

[0030] Hidden Layer:

[0031] Z l =W l A l-1 +b l

[0032] A l =g l (Z l )

[0033] Among them, l means there are l hidden layers, W l is the weight matrix of the lth layer, b l is the bias vector of the lth layer, A l-1 is the activation output of the previous layer, g l() is the activation function of the lth layer, commonly used ones are ReLU and sigmoid.

[0034] Output layer:

[0035]

[0036] Among them, W l+1 and b l+1 are the weight matrix and bias vector of the output layer, A l is the activation output of the last hidden layer.

[0037] Loss function:

[0038]

[0039] Where N is the number of samples.

[0040] The model application automatically accesses the database interface of the real-time data input through the system and obtains the data. After processing and analyzing the data, the specific steps of determining whether the system triggers the early warning mechanism according to the analysis results are as follows:

[0041] The system automatically accesses the database interface of the real-time incoming data and obtains the data, and performs processing and analysis;

[0042] After processing and analyzing the data, when the monitoring data reaches a preset threshold or the analysis result indicates a potential risk, the system will automatically trigger an early warning mechanism and determine whether to send an early warning message based on the final calculation result;

[0043] If it is determined that the warning message needs to be sent, relevant managers and decision makers will be notified via SMS, email or mobile application to achieve warning.

[0044] The present invention discloses a method for constructing an automated early warning network for monitoring water quality at estuaries entering the sea. The method realizes real-time monitoring of estuary water quality through an automated monitoring sensor network, overcomes the time delay of traditional methods, and can quickly issue early warnings at the early stages of water quality problems by adopting advanced data processing and early warning algorithms, thereby winning precious time for taking countermeasures.
