Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and in particular relates to an intelligent monitoring method for low-altitude UAV patrols based on a flexible reconfigurable model. Background Art
[0002] Amidst the booming low-altitude economy, drone patrol monitoring is becoming a key technology for infrastructure maintenance. During the inspection of infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and power lines, drones are required to perform identification tasks such as detection, location, classification, and condition assessment of various targets. During patrols, target scale, posture, and environmental conditions vary significantly, and are severely affected by complex weather and lighting conditions. For example, when a certain type of inspection drone is lowered from an altitude of 200 meters to 50 meters, combined with optical zoom, the pixel size of a typical target (such as a bridge crack or a pothole) changes from 8 pixels per side to 96 pixels, a 12-fold change in scale. Furthermore, the target's geometry, texture, and radiometric properties evolve nonlinearly with changes in observation distance, angle, and environmental conditions. These multiple sources of interference lead to insufficient accuracy and poor generalization of airborne detection and recognition.
[0003] Existing UAV patrol target recognition methods mainly face the following challenges:
[0004] 1. Large differences in target appearance: The existing fixed network structure lacks the fusion modeling of prior knowledge and is difficult to adapt to the dynamic changes of various complex factors during the inspection process.
[0005] 2. Limited stability of the training process: The feature coupling effect between multi-level labels limits the model convergence efficiency. The lack of a label completeness perception mechanism makes it difficult for the model to maintain efficient convergence in scenarios with dynamic label loss.
[0006] 3. Difficulty in airborne embedded deployment: Accuracy decreases and hardware adaptation fails during model deployment. Especially when deployed on domestic platforms, insufficient adaptation of static compression methods leads to loss of key features and competition for multi-task resources.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent monitoring target recognition technology for UAV patrols that can integrate prior knowledge, improve training stability, and optimize lightweight deployment. Summary of the Invention
