Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of atmospheric science detection, and particularly relates to a detection device and method for real-time monitoring of the charged characteristics, movement speed, particle size and type classification of atmospheric hydrometeor particles. Background Art

[0002] Under the atmospheric environment, hydrometeor particles (such as raindrops, ice crystals, snowflakes, graupel, hailstones, etc.) become charged due to electron transfer during collisions caused by differences in surface microstructure, surface induction polarization by the background electric field in the cloud, charge distribution according to surface area when large water droplets break in high-speed airflows, and charge separation caused by temperature differences when there are temperature gradients in different parts of ice crystals. Detecting the charged characteristics of atmospheric hydrometeor particles has important scientific value and application potential. In scientific research, it can reveal the formation mechanism of the charge structure of thunderstorm clouds, improve the coupled model of cloud microphysics and electrical processes, and study the global atmospheric electrical balance and climate change. In the application field, it can enhance lightning warning and protection capabilities, optimize the safety design of aviation and spacecraft, support artificial weather modification technology, and protect power and communication infrastructure. In terms of technology and engineering, it can promote the research and development of high-precision sensors, collaborative innovation in fields such as atmospheric electricity, microfluidics, and materials science, promote the application of intelligent algorithms (such as deep learning charge classification models) in the meteorological field, and promote multi-disciplinary cross-integration. Detecting the charge of atmospheric hydrometeors is not only the basis for understanding natural lightning phenomena, but also an important technical support for optimizing disaster warnings, ensuring critical infrastructure, and promoting climate research. With the improvement of detection accuracy and real-time performance, its application scenarios will be further extended to emerging fields such as environmental monitoring and national defense security, becoming the cross-cutting frontier of meteorological science and engineering technology.

[0003] For the detection of the charge of existing atmospheric hydrometeor particles, mainly sounding balloons, rockets, airplanes and other carrier tools are used to carry electric field sounding instruments for detection, with sounding balloons being the main one, and the charged charges of particles in the atmosphere are inferred from the detected electric field profiles. However, the detection devices of the existing technology mainly detect particle charges through Faraday rings and calculate the charge quantity by integrating current, which can only measure static charges, cannot capture dynamic particle characteristics, and cannot determine particle types. There are also some detections of thunderstorms using various detection devices such as weather radars. Dual-polarization Doppler weather radar echo data is used to analyze the charge sensitivity of different types of hydrometeor particles, obtain the charge sensitivity factors of hydrometeor particles, and invert the particle charge quantity. This method is mainly applicable to the detection of the charged characteristics of thunderstorm clouds, cannot reveal the microscopic characteristics of hydrometeor particles, and cannot classify hydrometeor particles in the atmospheric environment.

[0014] The light source module 41 adopts a white parallel backlight source, the high-speed imaging module 42 is equipped with a global shutter CMOS camera, and the reflective prism 43 is a prism, which is arranged between the light path of the light source module 41 and the high-speed imaging module 42.

[0017] An atmospheric hydrometeor particle charge detection method of the present invention includes charge quantity calculation, image texture acquisition, and particle classification model establishment. The charge quantity calculation steps are as follows: S1. Signal acquisition and preprocessing; S11. Signal acquisition and amplification. Use a double Faraday ring 3a / 3b or 3b / 2c or 3a / 3c to collect the charge signal of the particle passing through the detection area, and realize the two-channel signal synchronous trigger through the GNSS second pulse, with a time error <50 ns and a sampling rate ≥1 MHz. The collected weak electrical signal is amplified by a charge amplifier circuit; S12. Denoising and filtering. Use a sliding window to perform time-domain normalization on the signal to suppress high-energy noise interference, and filter out non-target frequency band noise through a Butterworth low-pass filter to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The transfer function of the Butterworth filter is: , Where: s is the complex frequency variable, ω c is the cut-off frequency, n is the order of the filter, which determines the steepness of the filter.

[0018] S2. Signal synchronization. The light source module 41, the high-speed imaging module 42, the orthogonal / rear APD detectors 44 / 45, and the three Faraday rings 3a / 3b / 3c are synchronized by the GNSS second pulse; S21. Time reference alignment. The exposure time window of the global shutter CMOS camera is synchronized with the pulse signal of the APD detector to avoid motion blur or signal misalignment; S22. Charge signal synchronization. The charge integration window of the Faraday ring 3 needs to match the time when the particle passes through the detection area. Use the GNSS second pulse to trigger all devices to ensure that the time stamp alignment error <1 μ s; S23. Data fusion: Align the pixel data of high-speed imaging with the signal time dimension of the APD to achieve multi-modal data correlation analysis.

[0019] S3. Cross-correlation calculation: Determine the time delay (Δt) between the signals of the Faraday ring 3 and the signal correlation between the orthogonal APD photodetector 44 and the rear APD photodetector 45 and the camera of the high-speed imaging module 42. S31. Time-domain cross-correlation calculation: , where x n and y n are two signals, k is the number of sampling points of the time delay; S32. FFT-accelerated frequency-domain optimization: Perform fast Fourier transform (FFT) on the two time-domain signals x n and y n respectively to obtain their frequency-domain representations: , , where: X ( f ) and Y ( f ) are the frequency-domain representations of the signals x n and y n respectively, f is the frequency variable. Cross-power spectrum calculation: The cross-power spectrum S xy ( f ) is the complex conjugate product of X ( f ) and Y ( f ) in the frequency domain: , where: Y ∗ ( f ) is the complex conjugate of Y ( f ). Perform inverse FFT (IFFT) on the cross-power spectrum S xy ( f ) to obtain the cross-correlation function R xy τ in the time domain: ​​​​​​​ , Among them, R xy τ is the cross-correlation function, representing the correlation between two signals, τ is the time-delay variable.

[0020] S4. Particle velocity calculation; S41. Calculate the relative velocity of the particle with respect to the detection device 100 based on the time delay between two Faraday rings and the distance between the two Faraday rings v = L / Δ t Among them, L is the distance between the two Faraday rings ( L 1 or L 2 or L 1 + L 2), Δ t is the time delay of the signals of the two Faraday rings. There are three Δ t corresponding to the three distances, which are Δ t 1 、 Δ t 2 、 Δ t 1+2 . The three calculated relative velocities v 1 、v 2 、v 3. Take the arithmetic mean or the median as the particle relative velocity v ; S42. For the rising speed of the detection device 100, use GNSS Doppler frequency shift or carrier phase change rate to solve the three-dimensional velocity of the detection device 100, and the vertical direction is the rising speed of the detection device 100; S43. Correction of the particle velocity. When the rising direction of the detection device 100 is opposite to the particle movement direction, the actual velocity of the particle needs to be corrected by vector superposition: , Among them, v c is the corrected particle velocity, v is the calculated particle velocity, v b is the rising speed of the detection device 100.

[0021] S5. Charge integration window dynamic adjustment calculation. Through the corrected particle velocity v c and the distance between the two Faraday rings L , the integration time window is dynamically adjusted according to the particle velocity and the rising speed. The adjusted time delay Δ t int ​The formula is as follows: .

[0022] S6. Charge density inversion, the amount of charge within the integration window Q Passing current I ( t ) The integration calculation in the time interval t 1, t 2]: , where: Q is the amount of charge within the integration window, I ( t ) is the current varying with time, t 1, t 2 is the integration time window; Charge density ρ Passing the integrated charge Q , the corrected particle velocity v c and the cross-sectional area S Calculate: , where: ρ is the charge density, Q is the amount of charge within the integration window, v c is the corrected particle velocity, S is the area of the Faraday ring.

[0023] The steps for obtaining the image texture are as follows: S1. System synchronization and optical path triggering; S11. Synchronization of the light source and imaging. The white parallel backlight of the light source module 41 and the global shutter CMOS camera of the high-speed imaging module 42 are hardware-synchronized through the GNSS clock to ensure that the timing error between the optical pulse and the camera exposure < 1 μ s, achieving spatio-temporal alignment of the particle motion trajectory and the charge signal; S12. Trigger the parallel backlight light curtain. When the particle passes through the parallel backlight source, an orthogonal light curtain (90°) and an inclined light curtain (30 - 60°) are formed by reflection. The orthogonal APD photodetector 44 triggers the imaging clock, and the rear APD photodetector 45 verifies the particle passing event, forming a dual-light-curtain redundant trigger mechanism to reduce the false detection rate.

[0024] S2. Shadow image capture and preprocessing; S21. High-frame-rate imaging: The global shutter CMOS camera of the high-speed imaging module 42 captures the particle shadow image at a frame rate of ≥100fps, and the resolution supports the morphological details of particles with a size of 2 μ m. S22. Dynamic denoising: By matching the light source pulse width ( μ s level) with the CMOS exposure time, motion blur is suppressed. Median filtering and histogram equalization are performed in real time through the operation module 54 to enhance texture contrast; S23. Super-resolution reconstruction: For low signal-to-noise ratio images, an improved Real-ESRGAN network is used. By integrating multi-channel gradient information through the structure tensor (ST) branch, the microscopic texture details on the particle surface are restored.

[0025] S3. Texture feature extraction; S31. Using the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), for the gray-level distribution of the particle shadow image, contrast, energy, and entropy statistics are calculated to quantify the surface uniformity; S32. Through local binary pattern (LBP), analyze the neighborhood coding histogram of the particle edge to distinguish organic particles (random texture) from crystal particles (periodic texture); S33. Using multi-scale Gabor filtering, extract frequency domain features through a multi-directional and multi-scale Gabor filter bank to identify microscopic fluctuations in the deposition path of charged particles (such as the spiral trajectory of biological particles).

[0026] S4. Spatiotemporal feature fusion; S41. Dynamic trajectory modeling: Superimpose the charge signal Q on the consecutive frames of high-speed imaging. Calculate the particle motion speed v through the optical flow method, and combine the particle size d to construct a four-dimensional feature vector (Q, v, d, texture entropy); S42. Optoelectronic signal alignment: The charge amplifier and the APD trigger signal are isolated by an optocoupler to avoid electromagnetic interference. Use timestamps to match the charge pulse waveform with the shadow image sequence, and correlate the charge density ρ with the texture parameters.

[0027] For the establishment of the particle classification model, a classification method based on fuzzy logic constructs a multi-parameter classification system through velocity (v), particle size (d), and scattering intensity (Z value). The steps are as follows: S1. Definition of membership function; S11. Divide the fuzzy sets according to the particle motion characteristics. Use trapezoidal or triangular membership functions to divide them into "low speed" 0 - 5 m / s (the peak membership degree is at 2 m / s), "medium speed" medium speed: 3 - 15 m / s (the peak membership degree is at 8 m / s), and "high speed" 10 - 30 m / s (the peak membership degree is at 20 m / s); S12. Based on the optical imaging of a global shutter CMOS camera, it is divided into "small particles" (<0.1 mm), "medium particles" (0.1 - 2 mm), and "large particles" (>2 mm) according to the particle size (d), and a Gaussian membership function is used for smooth transition; S13. Particles in different phases (such as rain, snow, hail) have different light scattering abilities. The scattering intensities of the orthogonal APD photodetector 44 and the rear APD photodetector 45 are divided into weak, medium, and strong. The weak scattering is a trapezoidal membership function, corresponding to clouds or small ice crystals; the medium scattering is a triangular membership function, corresponding to raindrops or wet snow; the strong scattering is a trapezoidal membership function, corresponding to hail or dry sleet;

[0028] S2. Construction of the fuzzy rule base. According to physical observations and experimental data, if - then rules are designed. IF speed = high speed AND particle size = large AND reflectivity = strong, THEN particle type = hail. IF speed = medium speed AND particle size = medium AND reflectivity = medium, THEN particle type = raindrop. IF speed = low speed AND particle size = small AND reflectivity = weak, THEN particle type = aerosol or cloud particle (AERO).

[0029] S3. Fuzzy inference and classification. Based on the membership function in fuzzy logic, physical quantities are converted into membership degree values from 0 to 1 through function mapping; The membership degree of the triangular function is calculated as follows: , where a, b, and c are the left endpoint, vertex, and right endpoint of the triangular membership function respectively; The membership degree of the trapezoidal function is calculated as follows: , where a, b, c, and d are the left boundary, left vertex, right vertex, and right boundary of the trapezoidal membership function respectively.

[0030] S4. Optimization of logical operations; S41. Adopt MIN - MAX logic. Take the minimum membership degree of multi - condition rules as the rule trigger intensity, and finally take the maximum value of the outputs of each rule; S42. Introduce weight assignment. The weight of scattering intensity for hail classification is higher than that of speed, which is achieved by adjusting the shape of the membership function or the rule priority; S43. Calibrate parameters according to experimental data to achieve the best classification effect and provide type library data for the detection of electrically charged particles.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: By using three Faraday rings 3a / 3b / 3c with different gains for segmented detection and combining with optimized spacing (L1 = 100 - 200 mm, L2 = 50 - 100 mm), the particle velocity ( v ), and the electric charge amount ( Q ) are calculated through the cross-correlation algorithm, reducing the velocity measurement error and improving the charge sensitivity. According to the particle velocity ( v c ), the charge integration time (Δ tint = L / v c ) is dynamically adjusted to avoid the charge signal leakage of high-speed particles or the noise interference of low-speed particles. The double-light curtain triggering mechanism of the orthogonal APD and the rear APD, combined with the GNSS second pulse synchronization, ensures the spatio-temporal alignment of the charge signal and the image data. The global shutter CMOS camera combines with the Real-ESRGAN super-resolution reconstruction to extract the microscopic texture on the particle surface. Based on the velocity (v), particle size (d), and reflectivity (Z), a multi-parameter membership function is constructed, and the weight allocation is optimized by combining the MIN-MAX rule to accurately classify hail, wet snow, raindrops, etc. By correlating the charge density ( ρ ), particle size (d), velocity ( v ), and texture entropy through the optical flow method, a dynamic trajectory model is constructed to support the accurate identification of complex particles. Through multi-sensor fusion, dynamic signal processing, and intelligent classification algorithms, the present invention solves the core problems such as insufficient dynamic response, low classification accuracy, and poor environmental adaptability in the prior art, and realizes the high-precision, multi-parameter, and real-time detection of the charged characteristics of atmospheric hydrometeor particles. Its technical advantages have significant application values in the fields of lightning warning, artificial weather modification, aviation safety, etc., and at the same time provide reliable data support for atmospheric electricity and climate research.

[0036] The detection device 100 is carried into the air by the balloon 200. The lifting speed of the balloon 200 is controlled by net lift feedback. The helium filling amount is adjusted according to the real-time air pressure and temperature. The rising speed of the balloon is determined by the net lift, air density and resistance. The helium filling amount of the balloon is adjusted according to the expected required rising speed, the volume of the balloon is changed, and the cross-sectional area is controlled according to the shape of the balloon. The calculation formula is: , where, A is the cross-sectional area of the balloon, F is the net lift (total buoyancy minus the weight of the balloon itself and additional objects), γ is the air density, C d is the drag coefficient, v p is the expected rising speed of the balloon. As the balloon 200 rises, the volume gradually expands with the decrease of air pressure, and the cross-sectional area A expands accordingly. An air release valve 201 is provided on the balloon 200, see Figure 1 。According to the required rising speed and detection height requirements, the signal processing unit 5 controls the opening or closing of the air release valve 201 according to the rising speed detected by the GNSS satellite navigation receiving device 51. The air release valve 201 is in a closed state under normal conditions. The air release valve 201 controls the cross-sectional area of the balloon 200 to control the rising speed. When the rising speed exceeds the expected rising speed of the balloon, the air release valve 201 opens to release air, and the volume of the balloon 200 shrinks and the net lift F decreases. When the rising speed meets the expected rising speed of the balloon, the air release valve 201 closes. When the detection device 100 reaches the predetermined end detection height, the air release valve 201 opens to release air, and the net lift FWhen it is negative (the total buoyancy is less than the self-weight of the balloon and the weight of the additional objects), the balloon 200 gradually descends. During the descent process, the descent speed of the balloon 200 can still be controlled by the air release valve 201, and particle charge detection can still be carried out during the descent. When the GNSS satellite navigation receiving device 51 detects that the detection device 100 has descended to the preset parachute opening altitude (generally 300 - 500 from the ground), the signal processing unit 5 controls the parachute opener 16 to act. The parachute compartment cover 13 separates from the housing 1, and the detection device 100 falls freely by its own weight, opening the parachute 15. The detection device 100 slowly descends to the ground without causing danger to the ground due to high-speed falling. If the ground receiving system 300 can still receive the coordinate position transmitted back by the data transmission unit 6, the detection device 100 can be recovered if conditions permit. At this time, the helium gas in the balloon 200 has been basically emptied. After the detection device 100 separates, the balloon 200 slowly descends under the action of air resistance.

The global shutter CMOS camera is an imaging device that uses synchronous exposure technology. Each pixel of the global shutter CMOS camera is equipped with an independent storage unit. Its core feature is that all pixels start and end exposure at the same time, and transfer the charge to the storage area after the exposure ends, and then read out the signal line by line, effectively solving the problem of image deformation of traditional rolling shutters when shooting high-speed moving objects.

The position of the particle passing through the inner cylinder 2 is uncertain and the shape is irregular ( Figure 6 drawn as a dot only for illustration), and there may be a blind area in the angle of reflecting the parallel backlight. In order to reduce the false detection rate, the particle forms an orthogonal light curtain (90°) and an inclined light curtain (30° - 60°) in the backlight illumination reflection. The orthogonal APD photodetector 44 triggers the imaging clock, and the rear APD photodetector 45 verifies the particle passing through the event, forming a dual-light-curtain redundant trigger mechanism, see Figure 6 , Figure 6 The dashed rectangular box in

[0041] The signal processing unit 5 includes a GNSS satellite navigation receiving device 51, a charge amplifier 52, an ADC analog-to-digital converter 53, and an operation module 54.

The modulated signals are transmitted by the transmitter and use the dedicated meteorological sounding frequency band of 403 MHz for real-time wireless communication to transmit sounding data. After being received on the ground, the received FSK signals are demodulated back into binary data. The data transmission unit 6 transmits the collected charge signal waveforms, particle images, and environmental temperature and humidity parameters using a wireless data transmitter and sends them back to the ground receiving system 300. The ground receiving system 300 uses a wireless data receiver to receive and store the data, and the ground receiving system 300 can synchronously generate a charge density thermogram.

[0045] The power supply 7 is powered by a lithium battery. Considering that lithium batteries cannot work properly in low-temperature environments and have low self-heating during discharge, and the designed operating environment temperature of the detection system can reach as low as -50°C at the lowest, therefore, a thermal insulation layer 71 is installed outside the battery compartment, and a heating chamber 72 for placing an auxiliary heat source is left outside the thermal insulation layer 71 for placing a heating agent, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 4 。Before releasing the detection device 100, ferric oxide material is added to the heating chamber 72 as an auxiliary heat source. Ferric oxide can react chemically with oxygen in the air to become ferric tetroxide and release heat. This process is slow and persistent, and can meet the need to maintain the temperature inside the battery compartment. This heating device is light in weight and does not require additional power consumption, making it suitable for use in a radiosonde.

[0046] The method for detecting charged atmospheric hydrometeor particles of the present invention includes charge quantity calculation, image texture acquisition, and particle classification model establishment. The steps for calculating the charge quantity are as follows: S1. Signal acquisition and preprocessing; S11. Signal acquisition and amplification. Use a double Faraday ring 3a / 3b or 3b / 2c or 3a / 3c to collect the charge signals of particles passing through the detection area, and use the GNSS second pulse to achieve two-way signal synchronous triggering with a time error < 1 ns and a sampling rate ≥ 1 MHz (matching the particle speed range of 0.1 - 100 m / s). The collected weak electrical signals are amplified using a charge amplifier circuit. S12. Denoising and filtering. Use a sliding window to perform time-domain normalization on the signal to suppress high-energy noise interference, and filter out non-target frequency band noise through a Butterworth low-pass filter to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The transfer function of the Butterworth filter is: , Where: s is the complex frequency variable, ω c is the cut-off frequency, n is the order of the filter, which determines the steepness of the filter.

[0047] S2. Signal synchronization.

All devices are triggered using the GNSS second pulse to ensure that the timestamp alignment error is <1 μ s. S23. Data fusion. The pixel data of the high-speed imaging is aligned with the signal time dimension of the APD to achieve multimodal data correlation analysis.

[0048] S3. Cross-correlation calculation. Determine the time delay (Δt) between the signals of the Faraday ring 3 and the signal correlation between the orthogonal APD photodetector 44 and the rear APD photodetector 45 and the high-speed imaging module 42 camera. S31. Time-domain cross-correlation calculation: , where x n and y n are two signals, k is the number of sampling points of the time delay; S32. FFT-accelerated frequency-domain optimization. Perform fast Fourier transform (FFT) on the two time-domain signals x n and y n respectively to obtain their frequency-domain representations: , , where: X ( f ) and Y ( f ) are the frequency-domain representations of the signals x n and y n respectively, f is the frequency variable. Cross-power spectrum calculation: The cross-power spectrum S xy ( f ) is in the frequency domain X ( f ) and Y ( f ​​​​​​Complex conjugate product of ( , where: Y ∗ ( f ) is Y ( f )'s complex conjugate. For the cross-power spectrum S xy ( f ), perform inverse FFT (IFFT) to obtain the cross-correlation function R xy τ : , where R xy τ is the cross-correlation function, representing the correlation between two signals, τ is the time-delay variable.

[0049] S4. Particle velocity calculation; S41. Calculate the relative velocity of the particle with respect to the detection device 100 through the time delay between two Faraday rings and the distance between the two Faraday rings v = L / Δ t , where L is the distance between the two Faraday rings ( L 1 or L 2 or L 1 + L 2), and Δ t is the time delay of the two Faraday ring signals. The three distances correspond to three Δ t , which are Δ t 1 、 Δ t 2 、 Δ t 1+2 . Calculate the three obtained relative velocities v 1 、v 2 、v 3, and use the arithmetic mean or the median as the particle relative velocity v ; S42. For the rising speed of the detection device 100, use GNSS Doppler frequency shift or carrier phase change rate to solve the three-dimensional velocity of the detection device 100, and the vertical direction is the rising speed of the detection device 100; S43. Correction of the particle velocity. If the rising direction of the detection device 100 is opposite to the particle movement direction, the actual velocity of the particle needs to be corrected by vector superposition: ,​​ Among them, v c is the corrected particle velocity, v is the calculated particle velocity, v b is the rising velocity of the detection device 100.

Charge density inversion, the charge quantity within the integration window Q is obtained through the current I ( t ) within the time interval t 1, t 2] by integration calculation: , where: Q is the charge quantity within the integration window, I ( t ) is the current varying with time, t 1, t 2 are the integration time windows; The charge density ρ is calculated through the integrated charge quantity Q , the corrected particle velocity v c and the cross-sectional area S : , where: ρ is the charge density, Q is the charge quantity within the integration window, v c is the corrected particle velocity, S is the area of the Faraday ring.

[0052] The steps for obtaining the image texture are as follows: S1. System synchronization and optical path triggering; S11. Synchronize the light source and imaging. The white parallel backlight of the light source module 41 and the global shutter CMOS camera of the high-speed imaging module 42 are hardware-synchronized through the GNSS clock to ensure that the timing error between the light pulse and the camera exposure < 1 μs to achieve spatio-temporal alignment of the particle motion trajectory and the charge signal; S12. Parallel backlight triggers the light screen. When the particle passes through the parallel backlight source, orthogonal light screens (90°) and inclined light screens (30 - 60°) are formed by reflection. The orthogonal APD photodetector 44 triggers the imaging clock, and the rear APD photodetector 45 verifies the particle passing event, forming a dual light screen redundant trigger mechanism to reduce the false detection rate.

[0053] S2. Shadow image capture and preprocessing; S21. High-frame-rate imaging: The global shutter CMOS camera of the high-speed imaging module 42 captures the particle shadow image at a frame rate of ≥100fps, and the resolution supports the morphological details of particles with a diameter of 2 μ m; S22. Dynamic denoising: Combine the light source pulse width ( μ s level) with the CMOS exposure time to match, suppress motion blur, and perform median filtering and histogram equalization in real time through the operation module 54 to enhance the texture contrast; S23. Super-resolution reconstruction: For low signal-to-noise ratio images, use the improved Real-ESRGAN network, integrate multi-channel gradient information through the structure tensor (ST) branch, and restore the microscopic texture details of the particle surface.

[0054] S3. Texture feature extraction; S31.

Dynamic trajectory modeling: Superimpose the charge signal Q on the consecutive frames of high-speed imaging, calculate the particle motion speed v by the optical flow method, and construct a four-dimensional feature vector (Q, v, d, texture entropy) in combination with the particle size d; S42. Optoelectronic signal alignment: The charge amplifier and the APD trigger signal are isolated by an optocoupler to avoid electromagnetic interference. Use the time stamp to match the charge pulse waveform with the shadow image sequence, and correlate the charge density ρ with the texture parameters.

[0056] Particle classification model establishment. The falling speed of hydrometeor particles is closely related to the particle type. Different types of particles have different falling speeds due to their different physical characteristics (such as shape, density, size, etc.). The classification method based on fuzzy logic constructs a multi-parameter classification system through velocity (v), particle size (d), and scattering intensity (Z value). The steps are as follows: S1. Definition of membership function: S11. Divide the fuzzy sets according to the particle motion characteristics. Use trapezoidal or triangular membership functions to divide into "low speed" 0 - 5 m / s (the peak membership degree is at 2 m / s), "medium speed" 3 - 15 m / s (the peak membership degree is at 8 m / s), and "high speed" 10 - 30 m / s (the peak membership degree is at 20 m / s); S12. Based on the optical imaging of the global shutter CMOS camera, divide according to the particle size (d) into "small particles" (<0.1mm), "medium particles" (0.1 - 2 mm), and "large particles" (>2 mm), and use Gaussian membership functions for smooth transition; S13. Particles in different phases (such as rain, snow, hail) have different light scattering abilities. Through the orthogonal APD photodetector 44 and the rear APD photodetector 45, the scattering intensity is divided into weak, medium, and strong. The weak scattering is a trapezoidal membership function, corresponding to clouds or small ice crystals; the medium scattering is a triangular membership function, corresponding to raindrops or wet snow; the strong scattering is a trapezoidal membership function, corresponding to hail or dry sleet.

[0057] S2. Construction of fuzzy rule base: According to physical observations and experimental data, design if - then rules. IF velocity = high speed AND particle size = large AND reflectivity = strong, THEN particle type = hail; IF velocity = medium speed AND particle size = medium AND reflectivity = medium, THEN particle type = raindrop; IF velocity = low speed AND particle size = small AND reflectivity = weak, THEN particle type = aerosol or cloud particle (AERO).

[0058] S3. Fuzzy reasoning and classification. Based on the membership function in fuzzy logic, convert physical quantities into membership degree values from 0 to 1 through function mapping; The membership degree of the triangular function is calculated as follows: , where a, b, and c are the left endpoint, vertex, and right endpoint of the triangular membership function respectively; The membership degree of the trapezoidal function is calculated as follows: , where a, b, c, and d are the left boundary, left vertex, right vertex, and right boundary of the trapezoidal membership function respectively.

[0059] S4, Logic operation optimization; S41. Adopt MIN-MAX logic, take the minimum membership degree of multi-condition rules as the rule trigger intensity, and finally take the maximum value of the outputs of each rule; S42. Introduce weight assignment, the weight of scattering intensity for hail classification is higher than that of velocity, which is achieved by adjusting the shape of the membership function or the rule priority; S43. Calibrate parameters according to experimental data to achieve the best classification effect and provide type library data for the detection of electrically charged particles.
