[0058] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the present invention, the following are first explained regarding the technical features that may appear in the embodiments of the present invention:

Figure 1 , the implementation environment includes at least one terminal 102 and a server 101. The terminal 102 and the server 101 can be connected to the network in a wireless or wired manner to complete data transmission and exchange.

It can also be a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network), as well as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0063] Based on the example Figure 1In the implementation environment shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for monitoring the evolution characteristics of the seabed sediment distribution. The following is explained using the example of the method for monitoring the evolution characteristics of the seabed sediment distribution in the server 101. It can be understood that the method for monitoring the evolution characteristics of the seabed sediment distribution can also be applied to the terminal 102.

[0064] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 The flowchart of the method for monitoring the evolution characteristics of the seabed sediment distribution applied to the server provided in the embodiment of the present invention can be any of the aforementioned computer devices (including servers or terminals). Figure 2 , the method comprises the following steps:

[0065] S100, obtaining initial surface patch data based on the bottom distribution area boundary data of the target sea area and the seabed surface sampling analysis;

[0066] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, step S100 may include the following steps: obtaining backscatter intensity data and seabed sonar images of the target sea area through a multi-beam sounding system, and then jointly delineating to obtain quantitative bottom distribution area boundary data of the target sea area based on acoustic reflection intensity; obtaining seabed sediment sample data based on seabed surface sampling of the target sea area; interpreting and judging the bottom distribution area boundary data in combination with the seabed sediment sample data to obtain initial surface pattern data.

[0067] For example, in some specific implementations, the backscatter intensity data and seabed sonar images obtained by the multi-beam bathymetry system can be used to jointly delineate and obtain quantitative bottom distribution area boundary data based on acoustic reflection intensity, supplemented by interpretation and judgment of seabed sediment sample data obtained by seabed surface sampling (2m), to obtain initial bottom classification surface patch data (M1) of the target sea area.

[0068] Among them, in some embodiments, obtaining the backscatter intensity data of the target sea area may include the following steps: performing multi-dimensional error correction and gross error elimination processing on the shipborne beam depth measurement data of the target sea area to obtain preprocessed measurement data; the error correction dimensions include sound speed, tide level and draft; converting the preprocessed measurement data from a depth reference to an elevation reference, and then using an interpolation method to perform grid interpolation; resampling the results of the grid interpolation to obtain backscatter intensity data.

[0069] For example, in some specific implementations, the backscatter intensity data used to delineate the initial bottom classification surface patch data are mainly generated using comprehensive geological and geophysical survey results data such as multi-beam bathymetry and side-scan sonar conducted in marine regional geological surveys at scales of 1:250,000 and 1:50,000. The specific key generation methods include: first, performing error corrections such as sound velocity, tide level, and draft on the shipborne beam bathymetry data, as well as gross error elimination, and then using the conversion relationship between land and sea elevation and depth benchmarks to complete the conversion from depth benchmark to elevation benchmark, using the tension spline function interpolation method to perform 10″×10″ grid interpolation, and then resampling the interpolation result to 5″×5″, and using this result as the reference grid DEM data. In order to make the generated DEM surface smoother, the weight value tends to be larger when using the regular spline function method, and the values ​​are 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, and 0.5. It should be noted that the parameter values ​​used in the above implementation scheme can be adjusted accordingly according to actual application requirements, and all the above parameter values ​​are only for example description.

[0070] S200, performing vector change recognition on the initial planar pattern data of the two previous and subsequent phases, and obtaining second planar pattern data according to the result of the vector change recognition;

[0071] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, step S200 may include the following steps: S201, performing grayscale image conversion on the initial surface pattern data of the previous and next periods by weighted averaging method to obtain grayscale images corresponding to the initial surface pattern data of the previous and next periods; S202, performing algebraic division operation on the image pixel values ​​of the grayscale images of the previous and next periods to generate a difference map; S203, using a preset threshold to extract the change area from the difference map to obtain the vectorized change pattern range; and determining the second surface pattern data according to the vectorized change pattern range.

[0072] For example, in some specific implementations, the weighted averaging method can be used to first convert the two images into grayscale images, and then a difference image can be generated by performing an algebraic division operation on the pixel values ​​of the two images, and then a threshold is used to extract the changed area from the difference image to obtain the vectorized change map range.

[0073] In some specific application scenarios, step S200 can be implemented as follows: using a clipping tool to clip the two full-coverage high-precision seabed raster topographic maps (determined based on the initial surface pattern data) to obtain the seabed raster image of the target area, using automatic change detection technology to identify the range of the changed area, generating a change raster in .dat format, and after raster-to-surface vectorization and format conversion, obtaining the vector range of the newly added changes and the unchanged ones respectively, combining surface sampling to classify, verify and graphic edit the change information, and obtain the updated surface pattern data (M2, i.e., the second surface pattern data) with clear edges and contours of various bottom materials in the target sea area.

[0074] Among them, in some embodiments, using a preset threshold to extract the changed area from the difference map to obtain the vectorized change map range can include the following steps: calculating the overall variance based on the grayscale value of each pixel in the difference map and the average value of all pixels, and determining the preset threshold according to the overall variance; based on the preset threshold, distinguishing and assigning values ​​to the changed area and the unchanged area of ​​the difference map, and converting it into a binary map; determining the vectorized change map range based on the binary map.

[0075] For example, in some specific implementations, a threshold is used to generate a binary image to determine whether a location has changed, and a value of 1 is assigned to the changed area and a value of 0 is assigned to the unchanged area, as shown in the formula:

[0076] BI(x,y) =

[0077] Where BI (x, y) represents the image value of each pixel in the binary image; Represents the grayscale value of each pixel in the difference map; T represents the threshold set for extracting the change area, which is determined by the overall variance of the average value. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0078] T=

[0079] Where, Represents the grayscale value of the jth pixel in the difference image (i.e., difference map), represents the number of pixels, Represents the average grayscale value of all pixels in the difference image.

[0080] S300, obtaining the sediment distribution evolution characteristics of the target sea area through transfer matrix quantification based on the patch areas corresponding to the initial planar patch data and the second planar patch data.

[0081] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, step S300 may include the following steps: using a seabed sediment surface area calculation model to obtain the patch area corresponding to the patch data; the patch data includes initial planar patch data and second planar patch data; based on the transfer matrix, quantitatively and statistically analyze the dynamic process information of the mutual transformation between the two patch areas to obtain the sediment distribution evolution characteristics of the target sea area.

[0082] For example, in some specific embodiments, the initial sediment classification map M1 (i.e., initial surface map data) and the updated sediment classification map M2 (i.e., second surface map data) of the target sea area are calculated using a seabed sediment surface area calculation model to obtain the map area, and based on the transfer matrix model, the dynamic process information of the mutual transformation between the surface areas of each sediment type in the previous and subsequent periods is quantitatively counted to quantitatively reflect the structural characteristics of the changes in the distribution of the seabed sediment area in a large area and the direction and scale of the changes in each sediment type, revealing the sediment evolution characteristics at the beginning and end of a certain period in a certain area.

[0083] Among them, in some embodiments, using the seabed sediment surface area calculation model to obtain the patch area corresponding to the patch data can include the following steps: based on the patch data, using the Albers equal-area conic projection method of the national geodetic coordinate system reference ellipsoid to calculate the projection area to obtain the true surface area of ​​the patch; obtaining the mathematical elevation model data of the target sea area, and then determining the slope of the target sea area; based on the true surface area and slope of the patch, using the grid calculation model to process the grid surface area; determining the patch area according to the grid surface area.

[0084] For example, in some specific embodiments, the seafloor surface area calculation model typically uses the Albers equal-area conic projection of the CGCS2000 (China Geodetic Coordinate System 2000) reference ellipsoid to calculate the projected area, resulting in a local approximation of the Earth's surface area. To obtain the true surface area of ​​the two-phase bottom classification patch, this method utilizes a raster calculation model to calculate the seafloor surface area. In some specific application scenarios, the zonal statistics tool within GIS (Geographic Information System) software can be used to calculate the sum of the surface areas of all pixels within a specific elevation or slope zone.

[0085] The above grid calculation model calculates the surface area of ​​each pixel in the grid based on the slope and the grid area (determined based on the actual surface area). The specific formula is as follows:

[0086]

[0087] Where, represents the grid area of ​​pixels, represents the corresponding grid surface area, It represents the slope calculated based on DEM (Digital Elevation Model) data.

[0088] In order to explain the principle of the technical solution of the present invention in detail, the overall process of the present invention is described below in combination with some specific embodiments. It is easy to understand that the following is an explanation of the technical principle of the present invention and cannot be regarded as a limitation of the present invention.

[0089] First of all, it should be noted that the present invention addresses the defects of the existing technology and provides a method and device for monitoring the evolution characteristics of seabed sediment distribution, which mainly solves the problems of detection and update of sediment distribution change information in large seabed areas and monitoring statistical efficiency.

[0090] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: a method for monitoring the distribution and evolution characteristics of the seabed sediments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the following steps may be included:

[0091] S1, firstly, based on the backscatter intensity data obtained by the multi-beam bathymetry system and the seabed sonar image, quantitative bottom distribution area boundary data based on acoustic reflection intensity are obtained (such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure), the seabed sediment sample data obtained by seabed surface sampling (2m) is interpreted and judged to obtain the initial bottom classification surface pattern data (M1) of the target sea area, as shown in the figure. Figure 6 As shown;

[0092] S2, using the cropping tool to crop the two phases of high-precision seafloor raster topographic maps with full coverage, obtain the seafloor raster image of the target area, use automatic change detection technology to identify the range of the changed area, generate a .dat format change raster, and after raster-to-surface vectorization and format conversion, obtain the vector range of the newly changed and unchanged areas respectively. Combined with surface sampling, the change information is classified, verified and graphically edited to obtain the updated surface patch data (M2) of the target sea area with clear edges and contours of various types of bottom sediments. Figure 7 As shown;

[0093] S3, for the above-mentioned initial bottom classification map M1 and updated bottom classification map M2 of the target sea area, the bottom surface area calculation model is used to obtain the map area, and based on the transfer matrix model, the dynamic process information of the mutual transformation between the surface areas of each bottom type in the two periods is quantitatively counted, quantitatively reflecting the structural characteristics of the changes in the distribution of bottom area in a large area and the direction and scale of the changes in each bottom type, revealing the bottom evolution characteristics at the beginning and end of a certain period in a certain area.

[0094] In some specific application scenarios, the embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for monitoring the evolution characteristics of the distribution of seabed sediments. First, based on the seabed sediment surface coverage classification surface element dataset obtained by multi-period dynamic tracking, two or more periods of seabed raster images of the target sea area are used to obtain the updated sediment classification map through change monitoring technology, and then the actual area of ​​the map is obtained by using the seabed sediment surface area calculation model, and based on the transfer matrix model calculation, the dynamic process information of the mutual conversion between the surface areas of each sediment type in the two periods is quantitatively counted, and the quantitative change direction of each seabed sediment type is analyzed to evaluate the change rate and trend of the spatial pattern of seabed sediments. It can effectively reveal the evolution characteristics of the sediments in a specific sea area affected by external factors. Specifically, the above technical solution can be implemented as follows:

[0095] In S1, the backscatter intensity data used to delineate the initial bottom classification patch data were generated primarily from comprehensive geological and geophysical surveys, primarily multibeam bathymetry and side-scan sonar, conducted in marine regional geological surveys at scales of 1:250,000 and 1:50,000. Key methods for generating these data include: first, correcting the shipborne beam bathymetry data for errors such as sound velocity, tide level, and draft, as well as removing gross errors. Then, utilizing the conversion relationship between land and sea elevation / depth datums, the depth datum was converted to an elevation datum. Tension spline interpolation was used to generate a 10×10 grid, and the interpolated result was resampled to a 5×5 grid, which served as the baseline gridded DEM data. To smooth the generated DEM surface, the weights used in the regularized spline method were increased, with values ​​ranging from 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, and 0.5.

[0096] In S2, the automatic change detection model generates a difference image by performing an algebraic division operation on the pixel values ​​of the two previous and subsequent images, and then extracts the change area from the difference image using a threshold value to obtain the vectorized change patch range. The calculation method includes:

[0097] DIF(x,y)=M1(x,y) / (M2(x,y) + C)

[0098] Where M1(x, y) represents the grayscale value of any position when the previous image is converted to a grayscale image, M2(x, y) represents the grayscale value of any position when the later image is converted to a grayscale image, and C is a constant to avoid instability caused by the denominator being close to 0.

[0099] The weighted average method is used to convert the two-phase images into grayscale images, where the conversion formula for obtaining the grayscale image value is:

[0100]

[0101] Represents the weight value of the i-th band channel, Represents the pixel value of the i-th band channel, and n is the number of bands.

[0102] To determine whether a location has changed, a threshold is used to generate a binary image to express it. The changed area is assigned a value of 1 and the unchanged area is assigned a value of 0, as shown in the formula:

[0103] BI(x,y) =

[0104] Where T represents the threshold set for extracting the change area, which is determined by the overall variance of the mean value. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0105] T=

[0106] Where, Represents the gray value of the j-th pixel in the difference image, It represents the average grayscale value of all pixels in the difference image, and N represents the number of pixels.

[0107] In S3, the seafloor surface area calculation model typically uses the Albers equal-area conic projection of the CGCS2000 reference ellipsoid to calculate the projected area, making it locally close to the Earth's surface area. To obtain the true surface area of ​​the two-period bottom classification patch, this method uses a raster calculation model to calculate the seafloor surface area. Then, using the zonal statistics tool in GIS software, the sum of the surface areas of all pixels within a specific elevation or slope zone is calculated.

[0108] The above grid calculation model calculates the surface area of ​​each pixel in the grid based on the slope and grid area. The specific formula is as follows:

[0109]

[0110] Where, represents the grid area of ​​pixels, represents the corresponding grid surface area, Represents the slope obtained based on DEM data.

[0111] In S3, the transfer matrix calculation model is the application of the Markov model in marine geology. The transfer matrix reflects the dynamic process information of the mutual transformation between the areas of various types of sediments at the beginning and end of a certain period in a certain area. It not only includes the static area data of various types of sediments at a certain point in time in a certain area, but also contains more abundant information on the outflow of various types of sediments at the beginning and the inflow of various types of sediments at the end.
