Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of wildfire monitoring technology, and in particular to a wildfire monitoring method and system based on lidar and thermal infrared. Background Art
[0002] Wildfires are one of the most serious natural disasters affecting forest ecosystems. They destroy a significant amount of land worldwide each year, posing a direct threat to biodiversity and the viability of ecological conservation. Wildfire monitoring and suppression can mitigate the damage caused by these disasters. Therefore, integrating modern equipment to achieve effective wildfire monitoring, timely suppression, and rational strategies is a current research priority.
[0003] The existing solution uses drones equipped with infrared sensors and visible light cameras on fixed routes to collect two-dimensional thermal and video data of the fire scene along a preset route. This data is then used in conjunction with an edge computing platform to coarsely locate the fire point and generate a static firefighting plan based on historical fire spread models. After the data is transmitted back, a central server at a ground station is used to predict the fire spread and assign tasks.
[0004] However, existing solutions rely on two-dimensional thermal imaging data and fixed scanning routes, making it difficult to obtain three-dimensional structural information from vertical cross-sections of a fire scene, resulting in insufficient accuracy in predicting the spread of fire. Furthermore, the fusion of infrared and visible light data is limited in its ability to filter out interference from smoke and high-temperature non-fire sources. Furthermore, the centralized processing model at the ground station introduces communication delays, making it difficult to meet the timeliness requirements for rapid response to dynamic fire scenes.

[0054] Furthermore, by extracting terrain elevation features from 3D point cloud data, analyzing temperature field gradient characteristics from thermal radiation data, and combining them with historical meteorological data, a multidimensional fire spread prediction model was constructed. Specifically, this model generates dynamic impact intensity parameters based on a nonlinear mapping of terrain elevation change rate and temperature gradient direction vectors. Fire spread-sensitive areas are screened using the aspect angle partitioning covariance coefficient. The fire front diffusion rate and thermal convection intensity are calculated based on vegetation type, humidity, and wind speed. The fire direction is then modified to generate candidate paths. Finally, the topological structure characteristics are used to spatially couple sensitive areas, and probabilistic simulation is used to select target fire spread paths. By finely integrating the three-dimensional structure of terrain, the evolution of temperature field gradients, and meteorological dynamic parameters, a fire spread model coupling topographic, thermal, and meteorological multi-physical fields is established, thereby improving the spatiotemporal accuracy of fire front predictions in complex environments. Based on nonlinear mapping and covariant coefficient screening mechanisms, the ability to quantitatively characterize the dynamic impact of terrain on fire direction is enhanced, reducing path misjudgments caused by misalignment of slope aspect, slope, and temperature gradient. Through probabilistic simulation and topological structure coupling analysis, physical constraint screening of candidate paths is achieved, avoiding the overfitting risk of a single diffusion model, and ultimately generating a high-confidence target fire spread path, providing a reliable decision-making basis for the dynamic scheduling of fire-fighting resources.

Step 123: Based on the wildfire terrain elevation features and the temperature field gradient change features, combined with the historical meteorological data of the wildfire area, generate a target fire spread path, including:
[0092] Step a1: perform differential calculation on the elevation value sequence to obtain the terrain elevation change rate distribution.
[0093] Difference calculations involve subtracting adjacent data points in a terrain elevation sequence to extract local changes in elevation. Terrain elevation change rate distributions are two-dimensional spatial matrices derived through difference calculations, reflecting the trend of terrain elevation changes within a unit distance.
[0094] In this embodiment, a continuous sequence of terrain elevation values is first differentiated. This involves calculating the elevation change by taking the difference between adjacent elevation values, thereby generating a distribution of terrain elevation change rates. This process can be performed point by point using a first-order difference algorithm, converting the elevation sequence into a rate of change matrix. This matrix is used to characterize the local steepness and spatial continuity of the terrain.
[0095] Step a2: performing nonlinear mapping on the slope change rate and the temperature gradient direction vector in the slope change rate set to generate a dynamic impact intensity parameter representing the terrain's effect on the temperature field gradient change characteristics.
[0096] The slope change rate is a parameter calculated from the directional derivative of the elevation change rate, representing the severity of slope changes with spatial position. The temperature gradient direction vector is a spatial vector field that describes the direction of maximum temperature change in the temperature field and contains magnitude and orientation information. Nonlinear mapping operations are the process of mapping two sets of heterogeneous data into a common feature space using radial basis functions or neural networks. The dynamic impact intensity parameter is a scalar field used to quantify the degree of dynamic influence of terrain on the temperature gradient and is used to correct the direction of fire spread.
[0097] In this embodiment, the slope change rate set and the temperature gradient direction vector are first input into a nonlinear mapping model. A kernel function is used to correlate the two in a high-dimensional space. The mapping parameters are then optimized using gradient descent to generate a dynamic impact intensity parameter. This parameter, normalized using an activation function, quantifies the nonlinear strengthening or weakening effect of terrain slope on temperature field gradient changes.
[0098] Step a3: extracting topological structural features from the boundary of the temperature extreme value region, where the topological structural features include the number of connected domains and the boundary curvature radius.
[0099] Among them, the topological structure characteristics include the number of connected domains and the set of boundary curvature radius, which reflects the morphological complexity of the temperature extreme area.
[0100] In this example, a morphological closing operation is first performed on the boundaries of the temperature extremes to eliminate noise. A region growing algorithm is then used to extract connected domains. The number of connected domains is counted, and the radius of curvature of each boundary point is calculated. The boundary curve is then fitted using the least squares method, ultimately outputting a description matrix that contains the topological distribution of the connected domains and the curvature variation characteristics.
[0101] Step a4: partition the slope angle set by azimuth angle, calculate the covariance coefficient between the slope angle and the temperature gradient intensity distribution in each partition, and define the partition with a covariance coefficient greater than a preset coefficient threshold as a fire spread sensitive area.
[0102] Among them, the azimuth partition divides the 360-degree azimuth into several sectors, which is used to calculate the distribution law of slope angle. The covariance coefficient is an indicator of the degree of linear correlation between two sets of spatial data, which is calculated by the ratio of covariance to standard deviation. The calculation formula is: ,in, For the The set of aspect angles within the azimuth partitions, For the The corresponding temperature gradient intensity distribution within each azimuth partition is: is the slope angle Temperature gradient strength The covariance of For the The standard deviation of the aspect angle within each partition, For the The standard deviation of the temperature gradient strength within a partition.
[0103] In this embodiment, the aspect angle set is first divided into eight sector-shaped zones by azimuth. The covariance between the aspect angle distribution and the temperature gradient intensity distribution within each zone is calculated, and then divided by the standard deviation to obtain the covariance coefficient. Zones with strong positive correlations are screened using a preset coefficient threshold (e.g., 0.8 or 0.85). These zones are then overlaid with geographic raster data and marked as areas susceptible to fire spread.
[0104] Step a5: Calculate the thermal convection intensity of the fire front under different terrain conditions based on the distribution of terrain elevation change rate, calculate the diffusion rate of the fire front based on vegetation type, humidity, and wind speed vector, and correct the direction of the fire front based on the dynamic impact intensity parameter to generate multiple candidate fire diffusion paths.
[0105] Among them, the thermal convection intensity refers to the heat transfer rate parameter calculated based on the air flow acceleration effect caused by terrain undulation.
[0106] In this application's example, a heat convection intensity model is first established based on the distribution of terrain elevation change rates. The heat flow acceleration effect under different terrain conditions is calculated using a set of fluid dynamics equations. Next, the spatial interpolation results of vegetation type combustion index, humidity attenuation factor, and wind speed vector are integrated to construct a diffusion rate field. Finally, the dynamic impact intensity parameter is used as a directional correction weight to iteratively generate multiple candidate fire spread paths.
[0107] Step a6: Based on the spatial coupling relationship between the distribution range of the fire spread sensitive area and the topological structure characteristics, a probability simulation is performed on each candidate fire spread path to screen out the target fire spread path that meets the preset spread conditions.
[0108] In this application example, a coupling evaluation function between fire spread-sensitive regions and topological structural features was first constructed. A Monte Carlo simulation was then used to probabilistically sample candidate paths. The spatiotemporal overlap of each path with high-curvature boundaries and multiply connected regions was then calculated. A Bayesian network was then used to select target fire spread paths that met pre-defined spread criteria.
[0109] In an embodiment of the present application, a differential calculation is first performed on the elevation data of a certain mountain area to generate a terrain elevation change rate distribution map, and then the slope change rate and the temperature gradient direction vector provided by the meteorological station are input into a pre-trained nonlinear mapping model to output a dynamic impact intensity parameter field. Then, the boundaries of the temperature extreme value areas identified by the forest fire monitoring system are extracted, and the number of connected domains and the radius of curvature are analyzed to form topological features. After azimuth partitioning, the covariance coefficient of the slope angle and the temperature gradient in each sector is calculated, and three fire spread sensitive areas are delineated. Based on the elevation change rate and meteorological data, the thermal convection intensity and diffusion rate field are calculated, and five candidate paths are generated in combination with dynamic parameter correction. Finally, the coupling probability of the candidate paths with sensitive areas and topological features is evaluated through Monte Carlo simulation, and two target paths that meet the diffusion conditions are screened out for emergency evacuation planning.
[0110] By executing steps a1 through a6, this embodiment of the application achieves high-precision prediction of fire spread paths through multi-source data fusion and multi-stage modeling. By analyzing the dynamic impact of terrain elevation changes on thermodynamic fields, this method effectively captures the evolution of fire lines in complex environments. By coupling topological features with sensitive area assessments, the physical interpretability of path screening is enhanced. The resulting prediction model combines spatial resolution with computational efficiency, providing reliable decision-making support for disaster prevention and control.
[0111] In a possible embodiment, step a2, performing nonlinear mapping on the slope change rate in the slope change rate set and the temperature gradient direction vector to generate a dynamic impact intensity parameter characterizing the terrain's influence on the temperature field gradient change characteristics, includes:
[0112] Step a21: normalize all the slope change rates in the slope change rate set to obtain a standardized slope change rate vector.
[0113] Among them, the standardized slope change rate vector refers to the slope change rate data set after normalization processing, which reflects the relative change degree of terrain slope and is used to eliminate dimensional differences and enhance data comparability.
[0114] In an embodiment of the present application, first, all values in the slope change rate set are normalized to their maximum and minimum values, and the minimum value of each slope change rate is subtracted from the minimum value and then divided by the difference between the maximum and minimum values to obtain a standardized slope change rate vector; secondly, the numerical range is constrained to between 0 and 1 through linear scaling to eliminate dimensional differences; finally, a standardized vector is generated for subsequent directional consistency analysis to improve data comparability.
[0115] Step a22: Decompose the temperature gradient direction vector into a horizontal component and a vertical component, and calculate the first cosine similarity between the horizontal component and the normalized slope change rate vector and the second cosine similarity between the vertical component and the normalized slope change rate vector.
[0116] The horizontal component refers to the projection of the temperature gradient vector onto the terrain plane and is used to analyze the correlation between horizontal heat transfer and terrain slope. The vertical component refers to the component of the temperature gradient vector perpendicular to the terrain plane and reflects the vertical convection effect of heat. The first cosine similarity measures the similarity of the cosine angle between the normalized slope change rate vector and the horizontal component and is used to quantify the directional consistency between the two. The second cosine similarity measures the similarity of the cosine angle between the normalized slope change rate vector and the vertical component and is used to quantify the strength of the correlation between vertical thermal convection and terrain.
[0117] In an embodiment of the present application, first, the temperature gradient direction vector is decomposed into a horizontal component and a vertical component. The horizontal component is calculated by projecting it onto the terrain plane, and the vertical component is obtained by subtracting the horizontal component modulus from the vector modulus. Secondly, the first cosine similarity of the normalized slope change rate vector and the horizontal component is calculated, that is, the dot product of the two vectors divided by the product of their respective moduli. Subsequently, the second cosine similarity of the normalized slope change rate vector and the vertical component is calculated. Finally, the spatial correlation between the terrain and the temperature gradient is quantified by a two-dimensional similarity metric.
[0118] Step a23: perform exponential weighting on the first cosine similarity and the second cosine similarity to obtain a first weighted value and a second weighted value, and use the sum of the first weighted value and the second weighted value as a directional consistency parameter.
[0119] Exponential weighting applies an exponential weighting function to the cosine similarity, amplifying the contribution of key components by adjusting the coefficients. The first weighted value refers to the exponentially weighted result of the first cosine similarity and reflects the strength of the synergistic effect between horizontal terrain and temperature gradient. The second weighted value refers to the exponentially weighted result of the second cosine similarity and reflects the strength of the coupling effect between vertical terrain and thermal convection. The directional consistency parameter is a composite parameter of the horizontal and vertical weighted values, representing the degree of spatial synergy between terrain slope and temperature gradient direction.
[0120] In an embodiment of the present application, first, an exponential weight is applied to the first cosine similarity, and the weight coefficient is calculated based on the contribution ratio of the horizontal component to obtain a first weighted value; secondly, an independent exponential weight is applied to the second cosine similarity, and the weight coefficient is related to the thermal convection effect of the vertical component to obtain a second weighted value; then, the first weighted value and the second weighted value are added to generate a directional consistency parameter; finally, this parameter comprehensively reflects the degree of spatial coordination between the terrain slope and the temperature gradient direction.
[0121] Step a24: normalize the directional consistency parameter to obtain a dynamic influence intensity parameter.
[0122] Among them, in the embodiment of the present application, first, the directional consistency parameter is input into the S function for nonlinear normalization processing, and the parameter range is mapped to between 0 and 1; secondly, the interference of extreme values is eliminated through dynamic threshold adjustment; finally, the dynamic impact intensity parameter is output to quantify the influence weight of the terrain on the direction of fire spread.
[0123] In an embodiment of the present application, first, the slope change rate data collected by the drone is normalized to generate a standardized vector, and the temperature gradient direction is decomposed into horizontal and vertical components; secondly, the cosine similarity between the standardized vector and the horizontal component is calculated, and combined with exponential weighting to generate a first weighted value, and the similarity with the vertical component is calculated and weighted to obtain a second weighted value; then, the two are added together to generate a direction consistency parameter, which is normalized to a dynamic influence intensity parameter using an S function; finally, the parameter is input into the fire spread model to correct the fire line direction prediction, guiding the fire-fighting drone cluster to optimize the coverage range.
[0124] By executing steps a21 to a24, the embodiment of the present application enhances the quantitative characterization capability of the coupling effect between terrain and thermal field through two-dimensional similarity analysis of the normalized slope change rate and the temperature gradient component; integrates the horizontal and vertical component contributions based on the exponentially weighted directional consistency parameter to improve the physical consistency of the fire spread direction prediction model; and dynamically normalizes the processing to reduce parameter sensitivity and ensure the robustness of the model in different fire environments.
[0125] In one possible embodiment, step a5, calculating the thermal convection intensity of the fire front under different terrain conditions based on the distribution of terrain elevation change rate, calculating the diffusion rate of the fire front based on vegetation type, humidity, and wind speed vector, and correcting the direction of the fire front based on the dynamic impact intensity parameter to generate multiple candidate fire spread paths, includes:
[0126] Step a51: Calculate the thermal convection intensity correction coefficient for a first location and a second location within the volcanic region using formulas with different parameter values. The first location is a location in the terrain elevation change rate distribution corresponding to a terrain elevation change rate greater than a preset elevation change rate threshold, and the second location is a location in the terrain elevation change rate distribution corresponding to a terrain elevation change rate less than or equal to the preset elevation change rate threshold.
[0127] Among them, the thermal convection intensity correction coefficient refers to the adjustment parameter calculated in sections according to the difference in terrain elevation change rate, which is used to quantify the local enhancement or weakening effect of terrain undulation on thermal convection intensity.
[0128] In an embodiment of the present application, first, a first position and a second position are screened out according to the distribution of terrain elevation change rate, wherein the first position corresponds to an area where the terrain elevation change rate is greater than a preset change rate threshold, and the second position corresponds to an area where the terrain elevation change rate is less than or equal to the threshold; secondly, a piecewise function is used to calculate the thermal convection intensity correction coefficients of the two types of areas, respectively. The correction coefficient formula for the first position is the terrain elevation change rate multiplied by the temperature gradient intensity, and the correction coefficient formula for the second position is the terrain elevation change rate divided by the temperature gradient intensity; finally, a set of correction coefficients for the two types of areas is generated to quantify the differentiated effects of terrain on thermal convection.
[0129] Step a52: The thermal convection intensity at each location is obtained by multiplying the thermal convection intensity correction coefficient at each location, the intensity reference value, and the correction coefficient corresponding to the vegetation type as the thermal convection intensity at each location.
[0130] The intensity reference value refers to a predefined thermal convection intensity reference, which is used to generate an actual intensity value in combination with a correction factor.
[0131] In an embodiment of the present application, first, the thermal convection intensity correction coefficient, the predefined intensity reference value, and the correction coefficient corresponding to the vegetation type at each location are obtained; secondly, the three are multiplied point by point according to the location to obtain the thermal convection intensity at each location; finally, a continuous thermal convection intensity distribution map is generated through spatial interpolation to reflect the local enhancement or weakening effect of heat transfer at the front of the fire line.
[0132] Step a53: Calculate the diffusion rate using a preset diffusion rate calculation formula according to the vegetation coefficient, rate reference value, humidity, and wind speed vector corresponding to the vegetation type.
[0133] The vegetation coefficient refers to the quantitative parameter of flammability corresponding to different vegetation types, which is obtained from experimental data or historical fire statistics. The rate reference value refers to the reference benchmark of fire spread rate under conditions without external interference, which is used to calculate the actual rate in combination with environmental parameters. Preset spread rate The calculation formula is: ,in, is the rate reference value, is the vegetation coefficient, For humidity, is the humidity attenuation coefficient, is the wind speed vector, is the wind speed intensification coefficient, It is the angle between the wind direction and the direction of the obstacle.
[0134] In an embodiment of the present application, first, the corresponding vegetation coefficient is found according to the vegetation type, and the preset diffusion rate calculation formula is input in combination with the rate reference value, the inverse of the humidity and the modulus of the wind speed vector; secondly, the diffusion rate calculation formula is defined as the vegetation coefficient multiplied by the rate reference value, and then multiplied by the product of the inverse of the humidity and the wind speed vector; finally, the spatial distribution of the diffusion rate is generated to quantify the spread speed of the fire under different vegetation and meteorological conditions.
[0135] Step a54: Calculate the extension length of the path based on the heat convection intensity and diffusion rate at each position.
[0136] The extension length of the path refers to the spatial distance that the fire spreads in a specific direction per unit time, which is calculated jointly by the thermal convection intensity and the diffusion rate.
[0137] In the embodiment of the present application, first, the thermal convection intensity and diffusion rate at each location are superimposed according to the location to calculate the path extension length; second, the extension length formula is the thermal convection intensity multiplied by the diffusion rate and then divided by the reference time constant; finally, a path extension length matrix is generated to evaluate the spatial expansion potential of the fire in unit time.
[0138] Step a55: Determine a direction correction coefficient corresponding to the dynamic impact intensity parameter, and correct the direction of the fire front based on the direction correction coefficient to obtain a corrected direction.
[0139] Among them, the corrected direction refers to the spreading direction vector of the fire front after adjustment by the dynamic impact intensity parameter, reflecting the coupling effect of the terrain and the thermal field.
[0140] In an embodiment of the present application, first, the direction correction coefficient of the current fire front is determined based on the dynamic impact intensity parameter and the preset direction correction coefficient mapping table; secondly, the original direction vector of the fire front is multiplied by the correction coefficient to obtain the corrected direction vector; finally, the physical rationality of the direction correction is ensured through vector normalization processing.
[0141] Step a56: Initialize the path starting point to the current coordinates of the fire front. Based on the corrected direction and the extension length of the path, combined with the path screening conditions, generate multiple candidate fire spread paths. The path screening conditions include: the overlapping area between the path and the fire spread sensitive area is greater than the preset overlapping area threshold, the diffusion rate of the path is greater than the preset rate threshold, and the diffusion duration is greater than the preset duration threshold.
[0142] Among them, the initialization path starting point refers to the initial spatial position generated by the current coordinates of the fire front as the candidate path. The path screening condition refers to the set of constraints that the candidate path must meet, including the threshold limits of the overlapping area with the sensitive area, the diffusion rate and the diffusion duration. The overlapping area of the fire spread sensitive area refers to the spatial intersection area of the candidate path and the fire spread sensitive area, which is used to evaluate the rationality of the path. The preset rate threshold refers to the minimum allowable value of the fire spread rate. Paths below this value will be eliminated. The preset duration threshold refers to the lower limit of the fire spread duration, which is used to filter out short-term invalid paths.
[0143] In an embodiment of the present application, first, the current coordinates of the fire front are used as the starting point of the path, and an initial path segment is generated based on the corrected direction vector and the path extension length; second, all paths that meet the screening conditions are traversed, and the screening conditions include that the overlapping area of the path and the fire spread sensitive area exceeds a preset threshold, the diffusion rate is greater than a preset threshold, and the diffusion time is greater than a preset threshold; finally, multiple candidate fire spread path sets are output for further screening by probability simulation.
[0144] In an embodiment of the present application, first, the first position and the second position are divided according to the terrain elevation change rate threshold, and the thermal convection intensity correction coefficient is calculated respectively; secondly, the correction coefficient, the intensity reference value and the coniferous forest vegetation coefficient are multiplied to generate the thermal convection intensity distribution; then, the diffusion rate is calculated based on the vegetation coefficient, the rate reference value, the humidity and the wind speed, and the thermal convection intensity is superimposed to obtain the path extension length; then, the fire line direction is corrected according to the dynamic impact intensity parameter, and the initial path is generated with the fire line front coordinate as the starting point; finally, the paths with overlapping areas exceeding the threshold, diffusion rates and durations exceeding the standards are screened, and multiple candidate fire spread paths are output to guide the drone cluster for precise interception.
[0145] By executing steps a51 to a56, the embodiment of the present application calculates the thermal convection intensity correction coefficient in segments to accurately quantify the differentiated effects of terrain undulation on fire thermal convection; combines the vegetation coefficient and the diffusion rate calculation model of meteorological parameters to enhance the environmental adaptability of the fire spread speed prediction; based on the dynamic direction correction and multi-condition path screening mechanism, improves the physical rationality and spatial matching of the candidate path generation, and provides a reliable basis for the dynamic scheduling of fire extinguishing resources.
[0146] In one possible embodiment, S13 utilizes an embedded real-time processing chip deployed in a detection drone to perform real-time processing on thermal radiation distribution data, identify abnormal temperature areas, remove interference areas, and generate fire location and classification results, including:
[0147] Step 131: Use the embedded real-time processing chip deployed in the detection drone to perform median filtering on the thermal radiation distribution data to eliminate environmental noise interference and generate a noise-reduced temperature field matrix.
[0148] Median filtering is an image denoising method that uses a sliding window to replace the current pixel value with the median of neighboring pixels. This method is used to eliminate salt and pepper noise in thermal radiation data. The denoised temperature field matrix is a two-dimensional temperature data matrix processed through median filtering, preserving the true temperature distribution in the fire area while suppressing environmental interference.
[0149] In this embodiment, the embedded real-time processing chip deployed in the detection drone first performs median filtering on the collected thermal radiation distribution data. This involves traversing each pixel using a sliding window, sorting the radiation values of all pixels in its neighborhood by size, and then taking the median value to replace the original pixel value to eliminate impulse noise and interference from isolated outliers. After processing, a de-noised temperature field matrix is generated, which preserves the temperature distribution characteristics of the fire area and suppresses environmental noise.
[0150] Step 132: Process the temperature field matrix after noise reduction to determine the target fire point area.
[0151] Among them, the target fire point area is a continuous high-temperature area extracted by threshold segmentation and morphological processing, which represents the spatial range of the potential fire point location.
[0152] In this embodiment, adaptive threshold segmentation is first performed on the denoised temperature field matrix. The segmentation threshold is dynamically adjusted by calculating the mean and variance of the global temperature distribution, screening out continuous regions with temperature values above the threshold. Morphological dilation and erosion operations are then performed on the candidate regions to eliminate small holes. Adjacent regions are then merged to output the spatial extent of the target fire point region.
[0153] Step 133: extract a temperature distribution feature vector from the target fire point region. The temperature distribution feature vector includes the regional average temperature, the maximum temperature gradient, the temperature distribution standard deviation, and the ratio of the regional contour perimeter to the area.
[0154] Among them, the temperature distribution feature vector includes a four-dimensional vector of regional average temperature, maximum temperature gradient, standard deviation of temperature distribution and ratio of contour perimeter to area, which is used to quantify the thermodynamic and morphological characteristics of the fire point. The regional average temperature refers to the arithmetic mean of the temperature values of all pixels in the target fire point area, reflecting the overall thermal radiation intensity. The maximum temperature gradient refers to the extreme value of the temperature change rate calculated by the gradient operator, which characterizes the degree of temperature mutation at the edge of the fire point. The standard deviation of the temperature distribution refers to the degree of dispersion of the temperature values in the fire point area from the average temperature, reflecting the uniformity of the temperature distribution. The regional contour perimeter refers to the total length of the closed curve of the fire point area boundary, which is used to calculate the shape complexity in combination with the area.
[0155] In this embodiment, temperature data within the target fire area is first collected pixel by pixel, and the average temperature of the area is calculated as an indicator of overall heat intensity. Next, the temperature gradient field is calculated using the Sobel operator, and the maximum gradient is extracted to characterize the degree of local temperature change. The standard deviation of the temperature values within the area is then calculated to reflect the discreteness of the temperature distribution. The area outline is then extracted using an edge detection algorithm, and the shape complexity ratio is calculated by dividing the outline perimeter by the area. Finally, these four features are integrated into a temperature distribution feature vector.
[0156] Step 134: Use the K-means clustering algorithm to perform dynamic threshold division on the temperature distribution feature vector, and generate fire point type labels and confidence parameters based on the Euclidean distance matching between the cluster center and the historical fire point samples. The fire point type labels are used as classification results. The fire point type labels include surface fire, hidden fire and re-ignition fire.
[0157] The K-means clustering algorithm is an unsupervised classification algorithm based on a distance metric. It groups feature vectors by iteratively optimizing cluster centers. The cluster center is the mean vector of the feature vectors for each category in the K-means algorithm and represents the typical characteristics of that category. The Euclidean distance of historical fire samples refers to the straight-line distance in feature space between the current fire feature vector and the historical sample, and is used for category matching. The fire type label refers to the fire category classified based on the results of cluster matching with historical data. It includes three burning states: surface fire, smoldering fire, and rekindling fire. The confidence parameter is a probability indicator calculated based on the inverse of the Euclidean distance, reflecting the confidence level of the classification result. Surface fire refers to a fire with visible and intense flames, corresponding to high temperature, high gradient, and high standard deviation. Smoldering fire refers to a fire with no open flame but continuous internal smoldering, characterized by medium temperature and low gradient. Rekindling fire refers to a fire that reignites in an area where a fire has been extinguished, characterized by small area and high contour complexity.
[0158] In this embodiment, the K-means clustering algorithm is first used to perform unsupervised classification on the temperature distribution feature vectors. The feature vectors are divided into several categories by iteratively updating the cluster centers until convergence. Next, the Euclidean distance between each cluster center and the feature vector of the historical fire point samples is calculated. The historical sample category with the smallest distance is selected as the type label for the current fire point, and a confidence parameter is generated based on the inverse of the distance. The final output includes classification results for three categories: surface fire, smoldering fire, and rekindled fire.
[0159] Step 135: Based on the spatial coordinates of the target fire point area in the three-dimensional point cloud data, calculate the three-dimensional geographic coordinates of the fire point center in the UAV navigation coordinate system, and use the three-dimensional geographic coordinates as the fire point position.
[0160] In this embodiment, the spatial coordinates of the fire center are first calculated using a centroid algorithm based on the boundary coordinates of the target fire area in the three-dimensional point cloud data. Then, the fire center coordinates are converted into three-dimensional geographic coordinates representing latitude, longitude, and altitude, using the georeferencing parameters of the drone navigation coordinate system. Finally, the converted coordinates are output as the fire location to the disaster emergency command system.
[0161] In the embodiment of the present application, the thermal radiation data of a certain forest area is first collected by a thermal imaging sensor carried by a drone, and the embedded chip is used to perform median filtering to generate a temperature field matrix after noise reduction. Subsequently, adaptive threshold segmentation and morphological optimization are used to extract three target fire areas, and the temperature distribution feature vectors of each area are calculated. Based on the K-means clustering algorithm, the feature vectors are divided into two categories. Combined with the Euclidean distance matching of the historical fire database, it is determined that two of them are surface fires and one is a hidden fire, and the confidence parameters are output. Finally, the center coordinates of the fire point are calculated based on the three-dimensional point cloud data, converted into longitude and latitude and altitude information, and transmitted to the fire command platform in real time for dynamic fire monitoring and fire fighting path planning.
[0162] By executing steps 131 through 135, this embodiment of the present application achieves efficient and accurate fire point detection and classification through multimodal data fusion and hierarchical feature analysis. Combining real-time noise reduction processing with dynamic threshold segmentation effectively improves the accuracy of target fire point positioning. Multidimensional feature extraction and cluster matching enhance the physical interpretability of fire point type identification. The resulting three-dimensional geographic coordinates and type labels provide a reliable basis for decision-making in fire assessment and resource scheduling.
[0163] In a possible embodiment, step 132, processing the noise-reduced temperature field matrix to determine the target fire point area, includes:
[0164] Step b1: Binarize and segment the denoised temperature field matrix based on a preset temperature threshold to extract candidate temperature anomaly regions, and merge adjacent candidate temperature anomaly regions using a region growing algorithm to generate an initial fire point region set.
[0165] Among them, binary segmentation refers to the process of dividing the temperature field matrix into high-temperature anomaly points and background areas based on the temperature threshold, with the high-temperature points assigned a value of 1 and the background assigned a value of 0. The candidate temperature anomaly area refers to the discrete high-temperature pixel set formed after binary segmentation, which characterizes the spatial distribution of potential fire point locations. The region growing algorithm refers to a spatial clustering algorithm that iteratively merges adjacent similar pixels to generate continuous closed areas. The initial fire point area set refers to the set of fire point candidate areas merged by the region growing algorithm, which contains complete candidate targets that have not been screened.
[0166] In the embodiment of the present application, the denoised temperature field matrix is first binarized and segmented according to a preset temperature threshold. Pixels above the threshold are marked as high-temperature anomalies, and pixels below the threshold are classified as background areas, generating candidate temperature anomaly regions consisting of discrete high-temperature pixels. Secondly, a region growing algorithm is used, with each high-temperature pixel as a seed point. Region expansion is performed based on the temperature similarity of adjacent pixels, and spatially continuous candidate temperature anomaly regions are merged to ultimately form an initial fire point region set, which contains multiple independent and closed fire point candidate regions.
[0167] Step b2: Delete the fire point regions whose areas are smaller than a preset area threshold in the initial fire point region set to obtain an intermediate fire point region set.
[0168] The intermediate fire point area set refers to the fire point area set after area threshold filtering, which is the intermediate result after eliminating small area noise.
[0169] In this embodiment, each fire point region in the initial set of fire point regions is first traversed, the number of pixels covered is calculated, and the value is converted into an actual area. Next, the area of each region is compared with a preset area threshold, and regions with an area smaller than the threshold are deleted to eliminate isolated noise interference. Fire point regions that meet the area criteria are then retained to generate an intermediate fire point region set, which serves as the basic dataset for subsequent refined screening.
[0170] Step b3: Filter out the fire point areas whose reflectivity is lower than a preset reflectivity threshold from the set of intermediate fire point areas to obtain the target fire point areas.
[0171] Among them, the target fire point area refers to the final fire point area after the reflectivity threshold screening, excluding the high-confidence result of non-fire point interference.
[0172] In this embodiment, multispectral image data corresponding to a set of intermediate fire regions is first acquired, and the mean reflectivity of each fire region is extracted. Next, the mean reflectivity is compared with a preset reflectivity threshold to filter out regions with reflectivity below the threshold, eliminating false positives caused by high-reflectivity objects. Finally, a set of target fire regions is output, ensuring that the result contains only true fires that meet combustion characteristics.
[0173] In the embodiment of the present application, the satellite thermal infrared image is firstly binarized and segmented, and pixels with temperatures higher than a preset threshold are extracted to form candidate temperature anomaly regions. Adjacent high-temperature pixels are merged through a region growing algorithm to generate a set of six initial fire point regions. The area of each region is then calculated and the three regions with a temperature lower than the preset threshold are deleted, retaining the three intermediate fire point regions. Finally, combined with the visible light image reflectivity data, two regions with a reflectivity lower than the threshold are screened out, and interference from a high reflectivity water area is eliminated. The two target fire point regions are output to the forest fire monitoring system for real-time dynamic tracking of the fire situation and emergency response.
[0174] By executing steps b1 to b3, the embodiment of the present application effectively improves the accuracy of fire point detection through a multi-level screening mechanism, the binary segmentation and region growing algorithm ensures the integrity of the fire point area, the area threshold filtering eliminates noise interference, and the reflectivity screening enhances the target recognition specificity, ultimately achieving accurate positioning of real fire points and false alarm suppression in complex environments.
