[0002] With the development of water transportation facilities, pontoon bridges, as an important means of transportation connecting the two sides of a waterway, are of paramount importance in terms of stability and safety. Currently, common pontoon bridges are constructed from several floating boats and their own decks. Their load-bearing capacity mainly comes from the buoyancy of the water. However, their lateral stiffness is relatively weak, making them susceptible to the effects of wind, currents, and waves, and it is difficult to ensure the straightness of the alignment between the floating boats.
[0003] Traditional pontoon bridges rely on manual operation for alignment adjustments between several floating pontoons, a cumbersome process with low precision and low efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automatic control system and method for the alignment of floating bridges based on computer vision to solve the problem of low efficiency in adjusting the alignment between several floating vessels when using traditional floating bridges. Summary of the Invention

The shore-based control terminal is located on the riverbank and includes a camera, an image acquisition card, and an industrial computer. The floating vessel control terminals are respectively located on each floating vessel on the same side. The several floating vessels are interconnected to form a floating bridge. Each floating vessel control terminal includes a target, an environmental data acquisition unit, and a drive unit for moving the floating vessels. The camera is used to monitor and capture images of the target on the several floating vessels, and the image acquisition card converts the images into digital signals and transmits them to the industrial computer. The industrial computer analyzes the images and determines whether the deviation of the floating bridge alignment exceeds a preset threshold. Based on the determination result, it controls the environmental data acquisition unit to collect information on wind speed and direction, current speed and direction, and draft. The industrial computer then analyzes the information collected by the environmental data acquisition unit and controls the drive unit to move the floating vessels until the deviation of the floating bridge alignment meets the threshold.
[0008] To optimize the above technical solution, the specific measures also include:

The instruction generation module generates control instructions based on the analysis results and sends them to the environmental data acquisition unit through the wireless communication module. The data processing module is used to analyze the information data collected by the environmental data acquisition unit and perform calculations.

The industrial computer analyzes the images and determines whether the deviation of the pontoon's alignment exceeds a preset threshold. When the deviation exceeds the preset threshold, the industrial computer controls the environmental data acquisition unit to collect information on wind speed and direction, current speed and direction, and draft. Based on the collected information, the data processing module within the industrial computer performs calculations and analyses, and then controls the drive unit of the corresponding pontoon to output and move the pontoon until the deviation meets the threshold.
[0015] Furthermore, the environmental data acquisition unit collects the water flow velocity v. water Flow direction θ water Wind speed v wind Wind direction θ wind In addition to data on draft and depth, the camera also collects the lateral offset d and offset velocity of the floating vessel currently perpendicular to the baseline.

If F restore If < 0, then sign(F) restore = -1, the direction of thrust T is the same as F restore In the same direction, the drive unit outputs according to the obtained thrust T and the direction of thrust T.
[0037] Furthermore, it also includes the following steps: the camera continuously monitors the adjusted pontoon bridge alignment, and the shore-based control terminal continuously receives and analyzes new images to form a closed-loop control.

When the threshold is exceeded, the control environmental data acquisition unit collects information on wind speed and direction, current speed and direction, and draft. The industrial computer then analyzes this information and, based on the analysis results, controls the drive unit to move the floating vessels until the alignment deviation meets the threshold. This achieves automatic monitoring and adjustment of the floating bridge alignment, significantly improving adjustment efficiency and accuracy, enhancing the stability and safety of the floating bridge, and providing a new solution for the intelligent management of water transportation facilities.
