Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thinning, and in particular to a Robinia pseudoacacia forest thinning monitoring system and method based on distributed sensing. Background Art

[0002] Thinning is an important technical measure in forest management, which refers to regularly cutting down some trees in immature forests to adjust the stand density and create better growth space and environmental conditions for the remaining trees. Thinning can optimize the forest structure, improve the wood quality, and promote the health of the ecosystem. As a pioneer tree species with fast growth, drought tolerance, and strong sprouting ability, scientific thinning is crucial for the healthy management of its plantations.

[0003] The initial thinning technology had problems such as relying on manpower, low automation level, and low efficiency. With the development of technology, some intelligent means have been applied in thinning technology, but there are still problems with low accuracy in judging the timing of thinning. In the prior art, the canopy projection area is mostly used to calculate the canopy density, and whether to conduct thinning is judged based on whether the canopy density reaches a threshold. Although the canopy density is an important indicator reflecting the growth of Robinia pseudoacacia, the accuracy of drones in identifying the canopy is not high enough, and the sparsity of each canopy is different, and the canopy is not completely static but in a state of being blown by the wind. Therefore, it is difficult for drones to accurately identify the sparsity and gaps of the canopy, which leads to inaccurate calculation of the canopy projection area, and the calculated canopy density cannot accurately reflect the growth environment of Robinia pseudoacacia, which brings difficulties to the determination of the thinning timing.

[0004] In the prior art, the patent application for invention CN116958813A proposes a method for designing artificial forest thinning operations based on drone images. This patent application for invention first collects drone images of the target area and reconstructs the images to generate DOM and DSM data, then uses computer image processing methods for single-tree recognition and canopy information extraction, then calculates the forest attributes of the unit grid and conducts cold and hot spot analysis, and finally determines the thinning area and thinning intensity. Using this method for designing artificial forest thinning operations makes up for the deficiencies of traditional ground surveys in the single-tree coordinates and stand spatial information in the whole area; subdivides the whole forest into grids, fully considers the spatial heterogeneity within the stand, and improves the refinement level of thinning design; provides a scheme for determining the priority order of forest thinning, reduces the subjectivity in the thinning process, and improves the scientificity of object tree selection. However, the method in this patent application for invention is judged based on the threshold of canopy density, and the calculation of canopy density is only a simple calculation based on the canopy projection area, which highly depends on the accuracy of image recognition. However, the objects captured by drones are moving leaves, so it is difficult to accurately identify the moving canopies with different sparsity degrees, and thus it cannot accurately reflect the actual growth environment of the trees and is difficult to accurately grasp the thinning timing.

Moreover, considering that Robinia pseudoacacia forests are often unattended and distributed sensors are easily damaged due to animal damage, pest gnawing, etc., in order to improve the reliability of data, the present invention extracts the tree crowns in the images based on an image recognition algorithm, divides the target Robinia pseudoacacia forest area into a tree crown area and a ground area, obtains a target area division map, and classifies the distributed sensors, which can further judge whether the distributed sensors are abnormal, and the data analysis is more reliable and accurate.

Determine the correction weight according to the overall abnormal proportion of the sensors in the edge area, and correct the canopy density according to the gap between the light intensity and the middle value of the reference range, so as to obtain the final thinning parameters, which more truly reflect the growth state and growth environment of Robinia pseudoacacia, and can accurately grasp the thinning timing.

If so, there is no anomaly; if not, it is determined as an abnormal sensor.

[0078] Preferably, the regional division module of the cloud platform is used to:

[0079] Obtain the distribution map of the sensor positions in the edge area generated by each edge server and synthesize the distribution map of the sensor positions in the target locust forest area;

[0080] Fuse the distribution map of the sensor positions in the target locust forest area with the target regional division map, and divide the distributed sensors into the first type of sensors and the second type of sensors according to the type of the area where the sensors are located; the first type of sensors are located within the canopy area, and the second type of sensors are located within the ground area.

[0092] Example 2:

[0093] This embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for monitoring the thinning of Robinia pseudoacacia forests based on distributed sensing. For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a flowchart of a method for monitoring the thinning of Robinia pseudoacacia forests based on distributed sensing provided by this embodiment of the present invention. The method includes the steps:

[0094] S1. Arrange a number of distributed sensors in the Robinia pseudoacacia forest;

[0095] The distributed sensors are used to measure the light intensity and send the measurement data to the edge server;

[0096] The measurement data includes the sensor number, sensor position, light intensity data, and timestamp;

[0097] S2. Each edge server generates a distribution map of sensor positions in an edge area based on the measurement data;

[0098] Wherein the area where the distributed sensors under the jurisdiction of each edge server are located is an edge area;

[0099] Before step S1, it further includes establishing a mapping relationship between the edge server and the distributed sensors, and enabling the distributed sensors to send data to the corresponding edge servers;

[0100] Optionally, each distributed sensor only sends measurement data to one edge server, thereby forming a many-to-one distributed sensing architecture. In this way, each edge server independently collects and controls the distributed sensors in an edge area, which can improve the control efficiency.

[0101] Optionally, each distributed sensor can send measurement data to at least two edge servers, so as to improve the redundancy of edge computing and the reliability of control.

[0102] S3. Use a drone to collect images of the target locust forest area, and send the collected images to the cloud platform;

[0103] The target locust forest area is the locust forest area to be analyzed for whether thinning needs to be carried out.

[0104] S4. The cloud platform extracts the tree crowns in the images based on an image recognition algorithm, divides the target locust forest area into a tree crown area and a ground area, and obtains a target area division map; there are currently various recognition algorithms for the recognition of the tree crown area, which is not the focus of the present invention. In order to ensure the integrity of the technical solution of the present invention, the methods in the prior art are used here for recognition.

[0105] S4 includes:

[0106] S41. Perform preprocessing operations on the images to remove noise in the images to reduce interference;

[0107] S42. Perform grayscale processing on the images and obtain a gradient image;

[0108] S43. Perform preliminary segmentation into foreground and background;

[0109] S44. Take the maximum value of the foreground area as the internal marker, and perform a watershed transformation on the background area to extract adjacent areas as the external marker.

[0110] S45. Modify the gradient image so that the image has a minimum value at the internal marker and the external marker, and make the image flat;

[0111] S46. Perform a watershed transformation on the modified gradient image;

[0112] S47. Merge the segmented images in the connected areas, and finally obtain the segmented foreground tree crown image.

[0113] S5. The cloud platform fuses the sensor position distribution map of the edge area and the target area division map, and classifies the distributed sensors;

[0114] S51. The cloud platform obtains the distribution maps of the positions of sensors in the edge areas generated by each edge server and synthesizes the distribution map of the positions of sensors in the target locust forest area.

[0115] S52. The cloud platform fuses the distribution map of the positions of sensors in the target locust forest area with the target area division map, and divides the distributed sensors into type-I sensors and type-II sensors according to the types of the areas where the sensors are located; the type-I sensors are located within the canopy area, and the type-II sensors are located within the ground area.

[0116] It should be particularly noted that the acquisition time of the area division map is very crucial and should be consistent with the time stamps of the measurement data of the distributed sensors so that comparative analysis can be carried out.

[0117] S6. Determine whether there are monitoring anomalies for the type-I sensors and the type-II sensors; for details, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a flowchart of a method for determining whether a distributed sensor is abnormal provided by an embodiment of the present invention, including:

[0118] S61. Obtain the generation time of the area division map, which is set as the first time.

[0119] S62. Query the illumination weather information of the target locust forest area at the first time.

[0120] S63. Based on the illumination weather information, obtain a first reference range and a second reference range. The first reference range is the reference range of the illumination intensity under the shadow, and the second reference range is the reference range of the illumination intensity without the shadow.

[0121] S64. The edge server receives the first reference range and the second reference range, queries the measurement data corresponding to the first time by time stamp, determines whether the light intensity data of the type-I sensors are within the first reference range, and determines whether the light intensity data of the type-II sensors are within the second reference range. If so, there is no anomaly; if not, they are determined as abnormal sensors.

[0122] Since the images collected by the UAV are multiple images collected during a continuous period of time, it is difficult to select the generation time points of the images. The present invention adopts the generation time of the area division map because the total time consumed by the period during which the UAV collects images and the cloud platform generates the area division map is relatively short, and it can be basically considered that the weather has not changed and the illumination intensity has not changed during this time.

[0123] Based on the images collected by the drone, through the recognition algorithm, the location of the tree canopy area can be obtained. However, the obtained tree canopy area is not strictly accurate because the tree canopy is not static but moves with the wind, and it is difficult for the drone's shooting and image analysis to accurately determine the exact tree canopy area. Moreover, the tree canopy area is sparse or dense, and the reference range under different sparse conditions is an interval. Therefore, the present invention uses the first reference range and the second reference range to determine whether there are serious data anomaly errors in the distributed light intensity sensors.

[0124] Furthermore, data at multiple first times can be collected for analysis and comparison to improve the accuracy of the judgment.

[0125] S7. The cloud platform calculates the canopy density based on the images of the drone, and calculates the canopy density C0 of each edge area;

[0126] For each edge area, calculate the area of the tree canopy area divided by the total area of the edge area to obtain the canopy density C0 of the edge area.

[0127] S8. Modify the canopy density of the edge area based on the measurement data of the distributed sensors to obtain the thinning parameters; specifically, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is a flowchart of a method for modifying the canopy density to obtain the thinning parameters provided by an embodiment of the present invention, including:

[0128] S81. Obtain the total number M of distributed sensors in the edge area and the number m of abnormal sensors in the edge area;

[0129] S82. Calculate the correction weight α based on the abnormal ratio m / M of the distributed sensors;

[0130] When m / M is greater than or equal to the first threshold, α = 0;

[0131] When m / M is greater than or equal to the second threshold and less than the first threshold, α = the first weight;

[0132] When m / M is greater than or equal to the third threshold and less than the second threshold, α = the second weight;

[0133] S83. Modify the canopy density of each edge area based on the correction weight and the measurement data to obtain the thinning parameter D;

[0134] Eliminate the data of abnormal sensors in a type of sensors in the edge area, and obtain the light intensity data L of normal sensors;

[0135] Let the difference between the light intensity data L and the median value L0 of the first reference range be the difference value L c ;

[0136] Calculate the L of all normal sensorsc And calculate the average to obtain the mean value L q ;

[0137] Correct the canopy density C0 of the edge area to obtain the thinning parameter D = C0 - (L q / L0) × α.

[0138] The present invention corrects the canopy density based on the calculation at the edge end. Since there are sparse differences in the tree crowns identified by the image, it is necessary to combine the light intensity to more realistically reflect the plant growth state, which is the core index of thinning; it should be noted that the value finally obtained in S8 of the present invention is not the canopy density, but the index after correcting the canopy density, which is a physical parameter that can better reflect the thinning timing.

[0139] It should be noted that if there are many abnormal sensors in an edge area, it indicates that the environment in this area is relatively poor, the failure rate is high, and the data credibility is low. Therefore, the correction weight is reduced; otherwise, the data credibility is high, and the correction weight is increased.

[0140] The specific values of the above-mentioned first threshold, second threshold, third threshold, first weight, and second weight should be determined according to the specific environment and tree species. Through experiments, the present invention exemplarily takes the first threshold as 0.8, the second threshold as 0.5, the third threshold as 0.2, the first weight as 0.4, and the second weight as 0.7.

[0141] In addition, it should be noted that the present invention uses a type of sensor for correction in the correction stage and does not use a type II sensor. This does not mean that the analysis and judgment of the type II sensor in the previous steps are useless, because the division between type I and type II is dynamically changing. Since the trees are in a cycle of growth, felling, and growth, a type II at that time may be classified as a type I at this time.

[0142] In addition, the main content of the present invention is to grasp the thinning timing according to the thinning parameter calculated in S8. For the characteristics of Robinia pseudoacacia forests, other thinning strategies should be specifically implemented. Considering multiple strategies comprehensively can be more beneficial to the growth of Robinia pseudoacacia.

[0143] Robinia pseudoacacia young forests grow rapidly. If the initial planting density is too high (e.g., > 2000 plants / hm²), a high canopy density (> 0.8) can be formed within 3 to 5 years, resulting in the polarization of forest trees into "dominant trees" (superior trees) and "suppressed trees" competing for light and nutrients. Practices in the sandy areas of the eastern Henan Plain have shown that Robinia pseudoacacia forests at the age of 5 to 7 years need to be thinned for the first time to relieve the competition pressure. Research in the Loess Plateau has shown that when the reserved density is 1110 plants / hm² (thinning intensity is about 50%), the light in the forest is significantly improved, the soil moisture increases by 40%, and the biomass of understory vegetation and the productivity of forest trees reach the optimal level. If the density after thinning < 800 plants / hm², although the light is sufficient, it may lead to an increased risk of soil erosion (especially on slopes), and the competition of understory weeds intensifies.

[0144] In addition, the thinning of Robinia pseudoacacia forests also needs to adopt the understory thinning method, preferably removing the suppressed trees, diseased and weak trees first, and retaining the healthy and dominant trees to promote the growth of the main trunk.
