Description of the Drawings

[0050] Figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of the present invention. Specific Embodiments

[0051] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , the embodiments of the present invention provide the following technical solutions: An automatic ticket checking method for subway tracks, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0053] S1. Feature acquisition: An infrared palm vein scanning module is mounted in the middle layer of the ticket checking end, with a penetration depth of 3-5 mm and a resolution of 500 dpi. The palm veins of passengers are scanned by 850 nm near-infrared light to obtain the set of palm vein features of passengers V = {v1, v2,..., v n}, where v nLet \(T_n\) be the texture feature of the \(n\)th vein. A wide-angle camera and a millimeter-wave radar are mounted on the upper layer of the ticket-checking end. The wide-angle camera is an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera with a field of view of 120°. The millimeter-wave radar, with a frequency band of 24 GHz - 77 GHz, is used to capture the joint displacement signals of the passenger's walking posture and extract the gait cycle energy spectrum as the gait feature set.

[0054] Among them, the palm vein feature has uniqueness and stability, and is difficult to forge, which can effectively improve the security of the ticket-checking system. The gait feature has the characteristics of non-contact and non-cooperation, and can complete feature acquisition during the natural walking process of passengers, improving the ticket-checking efficiency.

[0055] S2. Feature fusion: Quantify the palm vein feature set and the gait feature set. The quantization formula is:

[0056] \(H(V, G)=-\sum\) v∈V \(\sum\) g∈G \(p(v, g)\log p(v, g)\)

[0057] In the formula, \(V\) is the palm vein feature set, \(G\) is the gait feature set, \(H(V, G)\) is the joint entropy of the palm vein feature set and the gait feature set, \(v\) is the palm vein feature, \(g\) is the gait feature, and \(p(v, g)\) is the probability that the palm vein feature and the gait feature appear simultaneously;

[0058] Calculate the complementarity of the palm vein feature set and the gait feature set. The calculation formula is:

[0059] \(I(V, G)=H(V)+H(G)-H(V, G)\)

[0060] In the formula, \(I(V, G)\) is the mutual information value of the palm vein feature set and the gait feature set, \(H(V)\) is the marginal entropy of the palm vein feature set, and \(H(G)\) is the marginal entropy of the gait feature set;

[0061] According to the complementarity calculation result, dynamically allocate the feature fusion weight, and judge whether to enable the fast-pass mode and the security enhancement mode. Among them, when \(I(V, G)\geq G\) s1 where \(G\) s1 is the preset weight allocation threshold, it is judged that the palm vein feature and the gait feature are in a highly correlated state, and the feature fusion weight is allocated as: \(I(V, G)\). Enable the fast-pass mode. In the fast-pass mode, only the palm vein feature is verified to shorten the ticket-checking time;

[0062] When \(I(V, G)<G\) s1 it is judged that the palm vein feature and the gait feature are in a low correlated state, and the feature fusion weight is allocated as: \(I(V, G)\). Enable the security enhancement mode. In the security enhancement mode, the palm vein feature and the gait feature are verified.

[0063] As an optimal solution, to achieve the dynamic adjustment of the fast passage mode and the safety enhancement mode, it is implemented through reinforcement learning. Specifically:

[0064] A1. Define the state space:

[0065] s t =[n t , τ t , c t , α t

[0066] In the formula, n t is the number of real-time passengers in the channel, τ t is the train arrival interval time, c t is the carriage congestion degree, and α t is the current fusion weight;

[0067] A2. Define the action space:

[0068]

[0069] A3. Define the reward function:

[0070] R=-0.7·E[T w -0.3·E[L r

[0071] In the formula, R is the immediate reward, T w is the average passenger waiting time, and L r is the safety risk index;

[0072] A4. Update the Q-value table through the Q-learning algorithm to obtain the optimal ticket checking strategy. The update formula is:

[0073] ΔQ=η[R+γmax aa Q w -Q]

[0074] In the formula, ΔQ is the change in the Q value, η is the learning rate, preferably 0.1, γ is the discount factor, preferably 0.9, aa is the action of the next state, and max aa Q w is the maximum future Q value, and Q is the current Q value;

[0075] Based on the Q-learning algorithm, select the action a according to the state s t to perform mode switching control:

[0076] When a = 0, let α t+1 =α t , and maintain the current mode; ​​

[0077] When a = 1, let α t+1 ≥G s1 , where G s1 is a preset weight allocation threshold, preferably 0.7, and the fast passage mode is enabled;

[0078] When a = 2, let α t+1 <G s1 , and the security enhancement mode is enabled.

[0079] S3. Abnormality detection: Calculate the gait cycle energy entropy, and the calculation formula is:

[0080] H(E)=-∑ ω p(ω)logp(ω)

[0081] In the formula, H(E) is the energy entropy of the gait cycle energy spectrum, p(ω) is the energy probability density at frequency ω, and abnormal gaits usually have higher energy entropy. Therefore, the gait energy entropy can be an important indicator for judging abnormal passenger behavior;

[0082] Generate an abnormality score by combining the posture stability variance, and the calculation formula is:

[0083]

[0084] In the formula, σθ is the variance of the joint angle θ, T is the gait cycle time, S a is the abnormality score value, θ(t) is the joint angle at time t, is the average joint angle, H max is the maximum value of the gait cycle energy spectrum energy entropy, σθ,max is the maximum value of the posture variance. The posture stability variance reflects the stability of the passenger's walking posture, and abnormal behavior will cause the variance to increase, where abnormal behavior includes but is not limited to staggering and stagnation;

[0085] When S a ≥G s2 , where G s2 is a set threshold, preferably 0.6, it is determined that the passenger behavior is abnormal, triggering an anti-theft linkage warning and notifying the station staff to handle it.

[0086] Simulation experiment 1

[0087] In the morning rush hour commuting scenario.

[0088] Passenger flow characteristics: n t = 50 people / channel, τ t = 1.5 min.

[0089] The mutual information value I(V, G)=0.82>0.7, start the fast channel mode, and only verify the palm vein.

[0090] It is found that 8,800 people can pass through a single channel per hour, and the average waiting time is 4.2 s.

[0091] Simulation Experiment 2

[0092] In the low - peak scenario at night.

[0093] Passenger flow characteristics: n t = 5 people / channel, τ t = 8 min.

[0094] The mutual information value I(V, G) = 0.65 < 0.7, start the security enhancement mode, and verify the palm vein and gait characteristics.

[0095] It is found that the gait - characteristic verification intercepts 1 case of trailing attempt, and the false recognition rate is 0.

[0096] In summary, it can be found that through the mutual - information - driven dynamic weight allocation, the present invention realizes the adaptability of the ticket - checking system to complex operating environments, and achieves an effective balance among efficiency, security, and user experience.
