Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of marine engineering surveying and mapping, and in particular relates to a method for reconstructing deep-sea terrain in marine engineering surveying and mapping. Background Art
[0002] Seabed topography reconstruction for marine engineering surveying and mapping refers to the process of high-precision restoration of the three-dimensional spatial structure of the seabed topography through multi-sensor data fusion. Seabed topography reconstruction for marine engineering surveying and mapping, especially deep-sea topography reconstruction, is an important technical means to support marine resource development, submarine pipeline laying, marine environmental monitoring, and underwater engineering safety. As deep-sea exploration extends to areas with complex terrain, higher requirements are placed on the accuracy, anti-interference capability, and real-time performance of deep-sea terrain modeling. Traditional methods mainly rely on single-mode detection of multi-beam sonar or side-scan sonar, supplemented by inertial navigation systems for motion compensation. However, in deep-sea turbid water environments, they face problems such as severe acoustic signal attenuation and insufficient optical detection penetration, resulting in blurred terrain details and significant multipath interference, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-precision engineering surveying and mapping.
[0003] In existing technologies, the physical limitations of single-modal detection lead to incomplete capture of complex terrain features and under-exploitation of the complementary advantages of acoustic and optical data. Cross-modal data synchronization accuracy is insufficient, and motion distortion compensation models fail to account for multi-band phase response differences. Feature fusion networks lack dynamic adaptability to acoustic and optical coupling features, making it difficult to balance detail preservation and noise suppression. Terrain credibility assessment lacks multi-physics field joint judgment criteria, and outlier filtering easily leads to loss of effective terrain information. Specifically, terrain reconstruction methods based on single sensors suffer from the inherent flaw of missing multidimensional information. While sonar systems have strong penetration, they lack resolution for micro-topography. While laser detection can obtain high-precision surface information, it is limited by water turbidity and detection depth. Furthermore, multi-sensor collaborative detection faces challenges in spatiotemporal registration. Temporal synchronization errors in different modal data can easily lead to feature misalignment, and geometric distortion caused by attitude drift of the moving carrier further reduces the topological accuracy of the reconstructed model. At the data processing level, traditional convolutional neural networks have limited ability to integrate heterogeneous acoustic and optical features. Fixed-scale convolution kernels struggle to adapt to the multi-scale representation of deep-sea terrain, resulting in loss of high-frequency detail and distortion of low-frequency contours. Furthermore, existing confidence assessment methods often rely on single-value thresholds and lack multimodal energy attenuation correlation analysis, making it difficult to effectively distinguish between true terrain reflections and suspended matter artifacts, resulting in insufficient accuracy in removing abnormal point clouds.
[0004] These problems seriously restrict the accuracy and reliability of terrain reconstruction of deep-sea engineering surveying and mapping equipment under complex sea conditions. It is of great significance to design a deep-sea terrain reconstruction method for marine engineering surveying and mapping to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0096] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:
[0097] First, the present invention designs a deep-sea terrain reconstruction method that combines acoustic-optical frequency-domain cross-enhancement with dynamic weight fusion. Through frequency-domain diversity preprocessing and time-frequency distribution matrix generation, combined with normalized cross-correlation operations, it achieves deep correlation between sonar frequency-domain signals and laser polarization characteristics. The dynamic weight fusion mechanism automatically allocates gain factors based on the channel signal-to-noise ratio and constructs a three-dimensional acoustic-optical coupling tensor using tensor product operations. This effectively exploits the complementary advantages of acoustic penetration and optical resolution, suppresses noise interference from a single mode, and enhances the coupled expression of low-frequency terrain contours and high-frequency detailed features, providing a high-dimensional information carrier for subsequent feature extraction.
[0098] Second, the present invention designs a polarization-frequency domain synchronous modulation system, combining dual-wavelength polarized lasers with frequency-domain diversity sonar, achieving millisecond-level timing synchronization through an FPGA controller. Dynamic modulation of the composite polarized beam overcomes the physical limitations of single-wavelength detection. The asymmetric layout of the arc-shaped phased array forms a complementary detection perspective. The optical-acoustic data buffer and spatiotemporal registration algorithm solve the challenge of temporal alignment of cross-modal data. This design significantly improves the integrity and consistency of data acquisition in complex deep-sea environments, lays a foundation for high-quality data for multi-source information fusion, and enhances the system's adaptability to turbid waters and complex terrain.
[0099] Third, the present invention designs a full-dimensional dynamic convolutional network and attention mechanism. The proposed dynamic convolution kernel generation method adaptively adjusts multi-scale convolution parameters based on frequency domain energy distribution, and combines the channel attention mechanism to strengthen effective feature channels. Three sets of parallel convolution kernels achieve multi-scale feature fusion through frequency domain significance weighting, breaking through the limitations of traditional fixed convolution kernels. This design significantly improves the network's ability to learn the texture characteristics and spatial distribution patterns of seabed terrain, while retaining subtle terrain undulations while enhancing compatibility with acoustic and optical heterogeneous features, and realizing adaptive extraction of complex landform features.
[0100] Fourth, the present invention devised a multi-band inverse projection and motion distortion compensation method, employing a three-dimensional reconstruction method combining frequency-band inverse Fourier transform with phase compensation. Motion distortion correction is achieved by constructing displacement compensation values from inertial navigation data. The Laplace-Poisson equation optimizes the terrain gradient field, resolving the geometric distortion caused by carrier motion. This effectively integrates low-frequency terrain skeletons with high-frequency detail information, significantly improving the geometric fidelity and spatial continuity of deep-sea terrain models. This approach maintains the topological accuracy of the reconstruction results, particularly in environments with strong current disturbances.
[0101] Fifth, the present invention establishes a credibility assessment system driven by the acoustic-optical energy attenuation ratio. This system generates confidence heatmaps based on multimodal energy attenuation ratios and innovatively implements adaptive removal of anomalous point clouds by combining spatial continuity constraints with dynamic threshold detection. Anisotropic morphological filtering optimizes noise removal strategies tailored to the characteristics of deep-sea terrain, significantly improving the physical interpretability of the credibility criteria for terrain data. It effectively distinguishes true terrain reflections from multipath interference artifacts, ensuring the spatial consistency and engineering usability of the reconstructed model.

[0117] The frequency-domain diversity sonar receiver module includes an adjustable bandpass filter 202, a frequency-variable delay compensation unit 203, an AD sampling card 204, and an arc-shaped phased array 201. The arc-shaped phased array 201 is arranged in a 120-degree fan-shaped pattern surrounding the laser transmitter module. Each receiving channel of the arc-shaped phased array is connected in series with the adjustable bandpass filter 202 and the frequency-variable delay compensation unit 203, and finally connected to the AD sampling card 204 for signal digitization.

[0118] The spatiotemporal synchronization control module integrates an FPGA controller 301, a MEMS inertial navigation unit 303, a Doppler odometer 304, and a GPS disciplined clock 302. The FPGA controller 301 generates nanosecond synchronization trigger signals from the GPS disciplined clock 302, driving the dual-wavelength laser and the AD sampling card 204 to initiate data acquisition. The MEMS inertial navigation unit 303 and the Doppler odometer 304 are rigidly connected and continuously feed the FPGA with the carrier's three-dimensional attitude angle and velocity data, achieving a unified spatiotemporal reference.

[0121] Reference Figure 1 The present invention provides a deep-sea topography reconstruction method based on multimodal data fusion, and designs the following steps: data acquisition is performed through a synchronous modulation system integrating polarized laser and frequency domain sonar. The dual-wavelength polarized laser module emits a composite polarized light beam, and the polarization angle is periodically modulated by a dynamic phase retarder, and the polarization characteristics of the seabed reflection are analyzed in combination with the Stokes parameter detection unit 104. The sonar module uses an arc-shaped phased array 201 to receive acoustic wave signals, and each channel is digitized after bandpass filtering and time delay compensation.

Weights are dynamically assigned based on the signal-to-noise ratio of each sonar channel. The acoustic and optical data are fused via a tensor product operation to generate a three-dimensional coupling tensor containing frequency, wavelength, and angle. This process enhances the correlation between low-frequency terrain contours and high-frequency details, suppressing multipath interference.

Feature maps of different scales are fused using frequency domain saliency weighting, and a channel attention mechanism is introduced to enhance the representation of features in effective frequency bands and polarization channels. The final output is a comprehensive feature map that integrates seafloor topography texture, reflectivity, and spatial distribution.
[0124] The fused features are segmented by frequency band and then subjected to a 3D inverse Fourier transform to restore the spatial terrain model. The attitude angles and Doppler velocity data from the inertial navigation output are combined to calculate displacement compensation to correct for motion distortion. An initial 3D model is generated by weighted fusion of the low-frequency terrain skeleton, mid-frequency structure, and high-frequency details. The terrain gradient field is further optimized using the Laplace-Poisson equation to eliminate local distortion caused by noise.

This equation combines the Laplace smoothing term and the gradient adaptive adjustment term. Its physical meaning is: the Laplace term ( : Forces the terrain surface to be smooth and removes high-frequency noise.

[0206] Feature fusion to generate the acoustic-optical coupling tensor (Dimension 50×2×360), dynamic convolution output feature map size 256×256×32. Terrain reconstruction, reverse projection generates terrain model with a resolution of 0.5 m×0.5 m×0.1 m and a total number of points of 1.2×10 6 Compared with the LiDAR benchmark data (RMS error 0.72 m), the confidence threshold , 4.2% outliers were removed. RMSE = 0.72 m, SNR = 24.3 dB, processing time 18.5 seconds.
[0207] Comparative Example 1: In this comparative example, the laser module is turned off and the sonar parameters are the same as those in Example 1 ( , ); Results: RMSE = 2.34 m, SNR = 15.2 dB, feature edges are blurred (mean gradient modulus = 0.15);
[0208] Comparative Example 2 (Laser Only): In this example, the sonar module is turned off and the laser polarization angle , Results: RMSE = 1.89 m, SNR = 18.6 dB, and the maximum diameter of the local cavity caused by underwater suspended matter is 3.5 m.
[0209] Figure 3 This is a comparison of the frequency domain signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) distributions for Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2. These plots were generated using the following steps: 50 discrete points were generated in the frequency range of 10-20 kHz; noisy SNR data were generated for Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2: Comparative Example 1 (sonar only): baseline SNR = 15 dB, superimposed Gaussian noise with a standard deviation of 2 dB. Comparative Example 2 (laser only): baseline SNR = 18 dB, superimposed Gaussian noise with a standard deviation of 3 dB. Example 1 (fusion method): baseline SNR = 24 dB, superimposed Gaussian noise with a standard deviation of 1.5 dB.

[0211] Curve characteristics Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 2 Example 1 Basic SNR 15 dB 18 dB 24 dB Noise fluctuations ±2 dB (standard deviation) ±3 dB (standard deviation) ±1.5 dB (standard deviation) Curve stability Moderate volatility (red zone) Severe volatility (green zone) Stable (blue zone) Frequency response range Uniform but poor performance across the entire frequency band The high-frequency performance is significantly degraded Maintain high performance across all frequency bands
[0212] from Figure 3 As can be seen from the figure, Example 1 (blue line) has a higher SNR than Comparative Example 1 (red line) and Comparative Example 2 (green line) across the entire 10-20 kHz frequency band. The fusion of acoustic and optical data improves the baseline SNR by 60%, enhancing noise suppression and reducing standard deviation. At the key frequency of 15 kHz:

[0215] As can be seen from Table 2, the fusion method of Example 1 achieves the improvement of signal-to-noise ratio stability and the expansion of effective detection bandwidth. Figure 4 This is a thermodynamic comparison diagram of the terrain gradient field of Example 1, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2.
[0216] Figure 4 The results show that in Example 1, the gradient field exhibits a continuous and clear edge structure, with high gradient value regions coherently distributed. Detail preservation is outstanding, with sharp gradient change boundaries visible in areas with sudden changes in terrain, such as steep slopes. Small-scale terrain undulations, such as submarine reefs, are clearly discernible in the thermal map.
[0217] In Comparative Example 1, there is significant low-frequency noise interference, namely, large, diffuse areas of high gradient. Artifacts diffuse along terrain edges, with unnatural jumps in gradient values. Spurious gradient fluctuations appear in flat areas due to water reverberation.
[0218] Comparative Example 2 exhibits high-frequency speckle noise, characterized by scattered, abnormally high gradient values. Scattering from suspended particles leads to localized gradient anomalies, represented by the random bright spots in the image. Insufficient optical penetration results in data voids, represented by black areas with zero gradient.

[0220] Comparison indicators Example 1 Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 2 Average gradient modulus 2.8 3.5 4.2 Gradient standard deviation 0.9 1.7 2.3 Effective edge continuity 92% 65% 78%
[0221] from Figure 4 As can be seen from the figure, the penetration ability of sonar (Comparative Example 1) and the high resolution of laser (Comparative Example 2) are synergistically achieved in Example 1. The anisotropic noise of a single sensor is suppressed by the acousto-optic coupling tensor of the present invention.
[0222] In Example 1, a dynamic convolution kernel is used to smooth low-frequency features such as submarine basins using a large convolution kernel. High-frequency details such as fault zones are enhanced using a small convolution kernel. This improved gradient field continuity significantly reduces the error in depth contour generation, enabling safe path planning on terrain with steep slopes of 35° or greater.
[0223] Example 1 adopts a multimodal data fusion method, combines dual-wavelength polarized laser and frequency domain diversity sonar, and realizes deep-sea terrain reconstruction through a dynamic convolutional network. In the experiment, the laser wavelength is set to 532nm and 671nm, the sonar filter center frequency covers 50 channels from 10kHz to 20kHz, and the dynamic convolution kernel size is 3×3×3, 5×5×5 and 7×7×7. The results show that this method achieves a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.72m and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 24.3dB in the deep-sea canyon area of the South China Sea, with a processing time of only 18.5 seconds. Through confidence threshold screening, the outlier rejection rate is 4.2%, and the terrain resolution reaches 0.5m×0.5m×0.1m, verifying the advantages of multimodal collaboration in improving accuracy and noise resistance.
[0224] In Comparative Example 1, disabling the laser module and relying solely on sonar data resulted in an increase in RMSE to 2.34m, a decrease in SNR to 15.2dB, blurred feature edges, and a mean gradient modulus of only 0.15. The sonar signal was affected by water reverberation, resulting in spurious fluctuations in flat areas and significant performance degradation in high-frequency bands.
[0225] Comparative Example 2, using only the laser module, resulted in localized voids due to scattering from suspended matter, resulting in a maximum aperture of 3.5m. While superior to sonar in SNR, this was limited by optical penetration and resulted in significant high-frequency speckle noise. This experiment demonstrated the significant limitations of a single modality in complex deep-sea environments, and it was difficult to overcome both the sonar's low-frequency noise and the laser's high-frequency noise independently.
[0226] Comparing the frequency domain signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) distribution, Example 1 maintains a 24dB baseline SNR across the entire frequency band (10-20kHz), with a standard deviation of only ±1.5dB, significantly outperforming Comparative Example 1 (15dB±2dB) and Comparative Example 2 (18dB±3dB). At the critical 15kHz frequency, the mean SNR of Example 1 is 60% higher than that of Comparative Example 1, with the fluctuation range narrowed to 19.5-28.5dB. Multimodal fusion complements sonar penetration with laser high resolution, suppressing anisotropic noise and expanding the effective detection bandwidth.
[0227] Comparative Example 3 simulates the deep-sea terrain reconstruction error without motion compensation. Distorted data is constructed using the following method: carrier attitude changes (roll, pitch, and yaw) and integrated acceleration errors. This simulates the multi-sensor data mismatch in the absence of compensation. Comparative Example 3 uses the baseline terrain data from Example 1, but incorporates compound motion distortion and high-intensity Gaussian noise to simulate the uncompensated scenario. The results show significantly worse root mean square error and signal-to-noise ratio than those of Example 1, with a significant decrease in terrain gradient continuity and data efficiency.
[0228] Figure 5 This is a comparison diagram of enhanced motion compensation between Example 1 and Comparative Example 3. Figure 5 As can be seen from the table, the feature comparison and index comparison are shown in Table 4 and Table 5 respectively.

[0233] As can be seen from Tables 4 and 5, the uncompensated data in Example 3 resulted in terrain distortion 4.8 times the baseline value, with the RMSE soaring to 4.85m and the SNR dropping to 12.6dB. High-frequency vibrations caused lateral stretching and abnormal extremes in the terrain profile, and gradient continuity plummeted from 92% to 65%. In Example 1, through real-time compensation using inertial navigation and Doppler odometer 304, the maximum distortion was suppressed to 0.3m and high-frequency vibration was attenuated by 89.7%, demonstrating the critical role of motion compensation in data reliability.
[0234] Example 2: This example is implemented in a certain deep-sea area 2, where the seabed topography includes deep-sea landform features such as seamounts, trenches, and slopes.
[0235] In this embodiment, the original measured terrain is generated by the original measurement data directly collected by the multimodal sensor. The data contains water suspended matter scattering noise, multipath interference noise, uncompensated carrier motion distortion, and no multimodal feature fusion. The data characteristics are as follows: significant high-frequency noise, with a noise standard deviation of 1.8 meters; low signal-to-noise ratio, SNR = 19.2 dB; linear stretching distortion and local extreme value anomalies, with a maximum deviation of ±3.5 meters; the terrain edge fuzzy gradient discontinuity area accounts for 32%, and the overall image presents significant spatial distortion and detail loss.
[0236] The reconstructed optimized terrain is generated by optimizing the data processed by the patented method of the present invention. The original data is sequentially processed using the following methods: separation of effective signal and noise through acousto-optic cross-correlation operation; dynamic convolution fusion, adaptive adjustment of multi-scale convolution kernel parameters, and preservation of micro-topography texture; motion distortion compensation, correction of linear stretching error based on inertial navigation data; and Gaussian smoothing optimization (σ=2) to suppress residual high-frequency noise.
[0237] Figure 6 This is a comparison diagram of the original measured terrain and the reconstructed optimized terrain generated by the simulation embodiment 2. Figure 6 It can be seen that the original measured topography exhibits obvious high-frequency noise (fine surface ripples) and linear stretching distortion, indicating that the uncompensated carrier motion leads to spatial position misalignment.
[0238] The reconstructed and optimized terrain surface is smooth and continuous, with micro-relief features such as seamounts (localized protrusions) and trenches (depressions) showing sharp, unblurred edges and effective geometric correction. The standard deviation of random noise in the original terrain reached 1.8 meters, and the color scale fluctuated from -6.5 to 8.2 meters, with local extreme deviations exceeding ±3 meters. After reconstruction, the noise amplitude was reduced to 0.4 meters, reducing anomalous extremes by 90%. Linear motion distortion, with slopes of 0.6 in the original terrain's X direction and 0.4 in the Y direction, was eliminated in the reconstructed terrain. The color bar displays elevations ranging from -3.2 to 7.5 meters, and the reconstructed terrain's color bands are more concentrated, verifying the effectiveness of noise suppression.
[0239] Simulations show that the frequency-domain cross-enhancement technique of our invention reduces high-frequency noise energy by 78%, from 1.8 to 0.4, and improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by 13.4 dB, from 19.2 to 32.6. This demonstrates that the acousto-optic cross-correlation algorithm effectively separates the signal from suspended object scattering noise. Gaussian smoothing (σ = 2) removes 95% of high-frequency speckle noise while retaining >85% of the local gradient standard deviation of micro-topography curvature (0.12). An inertial navigation compensation algorithm eliminates linear distortion caused by vehicle motion, reducing the RMSE from 2.1 meters to 0.5 meters and improving geometric fidelity by 76%. The terrain continuity index (the proportion of adjacent points with elevation differences less than 0.3 meters) increases from 68% in the original data to 93% in the reconstructed data, demonstrating the advantages of the dynamic convolutional network in fusing multi-scale features. Artifacts in the original data are removed, and the confidence heatmap mechanism accurately identifies >92% of multipath interference areas.
[0240] It can be seen from the above embodiments and comparative examples that the multimodal feature fusion and dynamic convolution kernel design of the present invention significantly improve the accuracy of terrain reconstruction, and the cross-correlation operation of laser polarization characteristics and sonar frequency domain signals enhances the ability to retain details. Motion compensation technology effectively eliminates the influence of carrier posture changes, and the combination of confidence heat map and morphological filtering optimizes data quality. Compared with traditional single-modal methods, the present invention shows stronger adaptability in complex deep-sea environments, can achieve high-precision terrain reconstruction, break through the technical bottlenecks of traditional methods in noise suppression, motion compensation and detail retention, and provide reliable technical support for marine engineering surveying and mapping.
[0241] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
