Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of airport management technology using image recognition and artificial intelligence in the field of aviation transportation, and in particular to a method and system for rapid artificial intelligence identification and positioning of runway, taxiway area and apron operators at a transport airport. Background Art

[0002] According to the "Regulations on the Operation and Management of Aprons at Transport Airports" (Civil Aviation Regulations

[2022] No. 20), workers in the runway and taxiway areas must wear reflective clothing of different colors. In the traditional airport runway, taxiway area and apron management model, the visual observation of supervisors is mainly relied on to identify job operators and qualifications and other information. This traditional manual identification method has many limitations, such as slow speed, low efficiency, poor accuracy, and great subjective influence. It is impossible to quickly identify the attributes of operators and confirm their qualifications at a long distance, which is extremely unfavorable for the efficient operation and safety of the airport. At the same time, the runway intrusion risk caused by unrelated personnel mistakenly entering the ground protection area for aircraft landing and takeoff is difficult to effectively prevent. During the flight guarantee process, it is also impossible to quickly and accurately dispatch and arrange personnel, which is not conducive to the timely handling of emergencies on the apron. This poses a challenge to modern airport management. The Chinese patent application with publication number CN117671727A proposes a multi-feature fusion reflective vest wearing detection method. This method is to fuse the acquired pixels of the target personnel with the corresponding pixels of the reflective vest to obtain the corresponding pixels of the reflective vest area where the target personnel wears; judge whether the reflective vest is worn based on the corresponding pixels of the reflective vest area where the target personnel wears, and complete the reflective vest wearing detection with multi-feature fusion. This method only collects and identifies the image information of the reflective vest of the operator, and cannot determine the corresponding relationship between the reflective vest and the operator. Due to the multi-fusion and complexity of modern airport transportation operations, airport operations cannot be guaranteed to be carried out according to the timeline. Operators in multiple fields often work at the same time, causing the operations to overlap. Therefore, it is necessary to combine operators in different professional fields, the identity information of each operator and wearable devices for detection to meet the requirements of modern airport operations for operator identification. Obviously, this cannot be achieved through the method of publication number CN117671727A. Summary of the invention

[0053] Referring to the attached Figure 1 drawings, the main processes of the method of the present invention include:

[0054] 1. AI camera image acquisition and positioning: The AI camera captures images of the runway, taxiway area and apron operating personnel in real time. Obtain the image information of the operating personnel, which includes the reflective clothing colors, sizes, light-emitting strips, printed texts and identification features worn by operating personnel in different positions, and use a satellite locator to achieve the positioning of the operating personnel.

[0055] 2. Image transmission to the artificial intelligence judgment software: The captured image information is synchronously transmitted to the artificial intelligence judgment software in real time through a multi-camera communication system.

[0056] 3. Extraction of image features such as color, size, and identification: The artificial intelligence judgment software extracts features such as the reflective clothing color, size, light-emitting strip, printed text and identification worn by the operating personnel in the image.

For printed words and logos, OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology is used for recognition. The affiliated unit and personnel information are further determined by using the time process coordinates and multiple information such as the arrival time requirements of the staff.

[0069] Through the above pre-training method, the accuracy and robustness of the artificial intelligence judgment system can be significantly improved, ensuring efficient and accurate operator recognition in a complex and changing airport environment.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present invention, in step 6, the method for in-depth data analysis and processing includes the following steps;

[0071] Cross-validation: Use methods such as K-fold cross-validation to evaluate the generalization ability of the model.

[0072] Hyperparameter tuning: Adjust the hyperparameters of the model, such as learning rate, batch size, etc., through methods such as grid search and random search.
