[0002] Monitoring terminals are increasingly widely used in fields such as environmental monitoring, disaster warning, and agricultural management. However, the issue of their placement efficiency has always been a key bottleneck restricting their large-scale application.

[0089] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0090] A monitoring terminal refers to a miniaturized device that is placed in a target area by an aircraft and integrates multiple types of sensors and a Beidou positioning module, mainly responsible for tasks such as environmental data collection, position marking and warning, and data transmission back, and has characteristics such as lightweight, high integration, multi-modal communication guarantee, and environmental adaptability.

[0091] One of the core concepts of the embodiments of the present invention is that by using the secondary scanning method of rough scanning plus fine scanning, generating two surface data and a digital surface model can maximally avoid the data error problem caused by a single sensor, thereby improving the placement efficiency and achieving accurate placement.

[0092] Refer to Figure 1, showing a step flowchart of an embodiment of a method for monitoring terminal placement according to the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps:

[0093] Step 101, obtain a first scan result for the monitoring area; the first scan result is obtained by using a first aircraft equipped with a first data acquisition device to scan the monitoring area along a first scan path;

[0094] In the fields of remote sensing, surveying and mapping, and environmental monitoring, a scan result usually refers to a data set generated after collecting data on a target area through a sensor device, including image data, surface data, etc. These data are used to construct a surface model or analyze surface features.

[0095] Among them, the monitoring area can be obtained by selecting the engineering area range on a satellite map. The first aircraft is a flying tool for performing the initial scan task, which can be various flying tools such as drones, helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft. The first data acquisition device is a sensor device for obtaining surface information of the monitoring area, which can be various devices such as optical cameras, infrared sensors, radar sensors, lidar scanners, and spectral sensors; the first scan path refers to the flight route of the first aircraft for scanning within the monitoring area; the first scan result can exist in the form of point cloud data;

[0096] A point cloud is a collection of a large number of three-dimensional points. Each point records a position in space, usually represented by (X, Y, Z) coordinates. A point cloud can also contain other information, such as color, intensity, or reflectivity, etc.

[0097] Step 102, obtain a first digital surface model and first surface data according to the first scan result;

[0098] A digital surface model (DSM) is a three-dimensional model representing the elevation of the surface and all objects on it (such as buildings, trees, etc.). It reflects the true form of the surface, including natural surfaces and man-made structures.

[0099] In one embodiment, the first data acquisition device includes an optical camera, and the first scan result includes image data obtained by using a first aircraft equipped with an optical camera to scan the monitoring area along a first scan path. Step 102 may include the following sub-steps:

[0100] Sub-step S11, obtain a first digital surface model according to the image data;

[0101] An optical camera refers to a high-resolution aerial camera, generally used for taking ground images from the air. In the process of generating the first digital surface model using image data, existing technologies such as adjustment algorithms, triangulation, and encrypted matching can be used;

[0102] One implementation process of sub-step S11 can be as follows:

[0103] The optical camera mounted on the aircraft takes pictures of the monitoring area along the first scanning path to obtain multiple overlapping two-dimensional photos. During the process, it can be required that the forward overlap rate, that is, the overlap rate of the front and back photos, reaches 60%-80%, and the side overlap rate, that is, the overlap of the left and right photos, reaches 20%-40%, to ensure the accuracy of subsequent 3D reconstruction; then, through the free network adjustment algorithm, the geometric accuracy between each image is optimized, and then the feature points of each image are obtained. Through aerial triangulation, a sparse point cloud is generated; then, a dense point cloud is generated through the dense matching algorithm, and finally, the generated dense point cloud is interpolated into a grid model to obtain the first digital surface model.

[0104] The implementation of the above process can be achieved through aerial photogrammetry software such as Pix4D or Agisoft Metashape.

[0105] In one embodiment, the first data acquisition device includes an infrared sensor, and the first scan result includes infrared imaging data obtained by scanning the monitoring area along the first scanning path by the first aircraft carrying the infrared sensor. Step 102 may include the following sub-steps:

[0106] Sub-step S21, obtaining the first surface data according to the infrared imaging data;

[0107] An infrared sensor is an electronic device that can detect and measure infrared radiation. It captures the infrared light emitted by the surface of an object, converts it into an electrical signal, and then generates thermal imaging data. By processing the infrared imaging data, surface features such as water bodies, vegetation, hard ground surfaces, animal and human frequent activity areas can be effectively extracted, and then the first surface data is generated.

[0108] Exemplarily, after obtaining the infrared imaging data, it is necessary to remove the noise in the thermal imaging data and calibrate the temperature of the thermal imaging data. Then, surface features are extracted from the processed data. For example, low-temperature areas can be rivers and lakes; forests and grasslands are identified through temperature distribution and texture features; roads and buildings are identified through high-temperature areas; animal footprints and human activity paths are identified through local temperature changes.

[0109] This process can be combined with the data of the optical camera for cross-verification to further improve the accuracy of surface features.

[0110] Step 103: Obtain a second scan result for the monitoring area; the second scan result is obtained by using a second aircraft equipped with a second data acquisition device to scan the monitoring area along a second scan path; the second scan path is determined according to the first scan result.

[0111] After a preliminary rough scan of the monitoring area, it is necessary to further perform a refined scan of the monitoring area. Among them, the first scan result can provide a reference for the second scan path.

[0112] For example, the first digital surface model can be imported into the aircraft supporting route planning software to generate a flight route. Its flight altitude can be the same as that of the first scan. If the terrain is flat, the flight altitude can be set in the corresponding aircraft control software; in case of special terrain, the first flight path can be called to directly follow the original flight route. It should be noted that the aircraft supporting route planning software can be various route planning software in the prior art, and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0113] Step 104: Obtain a second digital surface model and second surface data according to the second scan result.

[0114] Since the scan route of the second scan and the type of sensor carried are both obtained from the first scan result, the second scan result is more refined than the first scan result, and the reference ratio of the generated second digital surface model and second surface data is also greater.

[0115] In one embodiment, the second sensor includes a radar, and the second scan result includes radar data obtained by using the second aircraft equipped with the radar to scan the monitoring area along the second scan path.

[0116] Sub-step S31: Obtain a second digital surface model according to the radar data.

[0117] A radar is a device that uses radio waves to detect targets. By emitting electromagnetic waves and receiving reflected signals, it measures the distance, speed, and shape of the targets.

[0118] After obtaining the radar data, it is necessary to further process these radar data to generate a more accurate digital surface model.

[0119] In one embodiment, sub-step S31 may include the following sub-steps:

[0120] Sub-step S311: Obtain radar point cloud data; the radar point cloud data is obtained according to the radar data.

[0121] Radar point cloud data is three-dimensional point cloud data obtained after scanning a monitoring area with a radar, recording the spatial position information of the ground surface and objects thereon.

[0122] Sub-step S312, determine the high-altitude obstacle point cloud data according to the radar point cloud data and a preset discrimination threshold;

[0123] According to a preset discrimination threshold, filter out the high-altitude obstacle point cloud data in the radar point cloud data that may pose a threat to the flight of the UAV. This discrimination threshold can be set according to the usage scenario and combined with usage experience.

[0124] Sub-step S313, obtain a second digital surface model, where the second digital surface model is obtained from the radar point cloud data after removing the high-altitude obstacle point cloud data.

[0125] Remove the point cloud data marked as high-altitude obstacles from the radar point cloud data. And interpolate the remaining point cloud data into a regular grid model, the second digital surface model.

[0126] For example, when there is a forest area in the monitoring area, after removing the point cloud data of overly tall tree crowns according to the discrimination threshold, the remaining point cloud data can be used for the second digital surface model and further for flight path planning.

[0127] In one embodiment, sub-step S312 may further include the following sub-steps:

[0128] Sub-step S3121, obtain the geometric features and spatial features of the radar point cloud data; the geometric features include local curvature and normal vector; the spatial features include spatial distribution density and spatial distribution spacing;

[0129] Local curvature reflects the degree of curvature of a certain point in the point cloud data. For high-altitude obstacles, its local curvature usually has a large difference compared with conventional surface factors. For example, as one of the high-altitude obstacles, the local curvature of an electric wire is usually small, indicating that its surface is relatively smooth or linear. The normal vector is a vector perpendicular to the direction of the point cloud surface. For high-altitude obstacles, the direction of the normal vector is usually relatively consistent, indicating that its surface has a certain regularity. Spatial distribution density: Spatial distribution density refers to the density of the point cloud in space. The point cloud of high-altitude obstacles usually has a high distribution density because the obstacle occupies a certain volume in space. Spatial distribution spacing is the distance between points in the point cloud. The point cloud spacing of high-altitude obstacles is usually relatively uniform, indicating that its structure has a certain regularity.

[0130] According to these four indicators and a preset discrimination threshold, the point cloud data of high-altitude obstacles can be efficiently removed;

[0131] Sub-step S3122: Use the point cloud data with local curvature less than the local curvature threshold, normal vector greater than the normal vector threshold, and spatial feature greater than the spatial threshold as the high-altitude obstacle point cloud data.

[0132] Exemplarily, linear obstacles such as wires and cableways have approximately cylindrical geometric features, and their surface curvature theoretically satisfies k = 1 / r (where k is the local curvature and r is the cable radius). For example, the typical power line radius ranges from 5 to 30 mm, corresponding to a curvature of 0.03 to 0.2 mm. -1 ; Correspondingly, the curvature can be judged by calculating the minimum eigenvalue of the covariance matrix within the point cloud neighborhood; the discrimination threshold can be set to 0.3 mm. -1 Use the point cloud data with local curvature greater than this threshold as one of the candidate point cloud data for high-altitude obstacles.

[0133] For the discrimination threshold, in addition to setting it according to experience, it is also possible to obtain the labeled wire and non-wire point cloud data and use machine learning algorithms such as support vector machines and random forests to train this data to learn the optimal threshold for distinguishing between the two.

[0134] In one embodiment, the second sensor includes a spectral sensor, and the scanning result includes spectral data obtained by scanning the monitoring area along the second scanning path by the second aircraft equipped with the spectral sensor; step 104 may include the following sub-steps:

[0135] Sub-step S41: Obtain the second ground surface data according to the spectral data.

[0136] An optical sensor is a device that can capture the reflection or radiation characteristics of a target object at different wavelengths. Generally, different objects have different spectral data. According to the scanned spectral data and the preset spectral data mapping rules, different objects on the ground surface can be distinguished, and then the second ground surface data can be generated.

[0137] Step 105: Determine the target delivery area according to the first ground surface data and the second ground surface data.

[0138] In one embodiment, step 105 may include the following sub-steps:

[0139] Sub-step S51: Obtain the ground monitoring data for the monitoring area; the ground monitoring data includes the monitoring data of ground cameras, ground signal towers, hydrological and meteorological monitoring stations, and the already deployed monitoring terminals.

[0140] Before confirming the target delivery area, in addition to using the recognition algorithms in the prior art, the embodiments of the present invention also combine the data of the ground sensor network to assist in analyzing the deliverable areas. These ground sensor network data can include the monitoring data of ground cameras, ground signal towers, hydrometeorological monitoring stations, and deployed monitoring terminals, which can provide real-time conditions and environmental information about the monitoring area, such as traffic flow, weather conditions, hydrological conditions, and other various information.

[0141] Sub-step S52, generate a candidate deliverable area according to the data of the ground sensor and the first surface data;

[0142] By combining the ground sensor data and the first surface data, areas that are initially suitable for delivery can be identified, and the selection of these areas can be determined by rules formulated in advance according to business scenarios and experience.

[0143] Sub-step S53, determine the target delivery area according to the candidate deliverable area and the obtained second surface data.

[0144] Since the second surface data is determined by spectral information, it can provide more detailed compositional information different from the first surface information, such as vegetation type, soil type, water pollution degree, etc. These information helps to further refine the selection of the delivery area and ensure that the resources delivered can target specific surface characteristics or environmental problems.

[0145] In one embodiment, sub-step S53 may include the following sub-steps:

[0146] Sub-step S531, perform a spatial overlay analysis on the candidate deliverable area and the second surface data to obtain an analysis result;

[0147] Spatial overlay analysis is a commonly used technique in Geographic Information System (GIS). It involves overlaying two or more spatial data sets under the same geographic reference system to analyze their spatial relationships.

[0148] Since the candidate deliverable area and the second surface information are generated by different sensors respectively, their coordinate systems may not be consistent. Therefore, they need to be projected and registered and converted to the same coordinate system; Projection refers to the process of converting three-dimensional information on the earth's surface, such as satellite images, aerial photos, etc., into a representation on a two-dimensional plane. Different projection methods will retain or distort certain features of the earth's surface to adapt to different application requirements. Registration refers to the process of aligning two or more images or data sets from different sources, different times, or different perspectives to the same spatial coordinate system. The purpose of registration is to ensure that these images or data sets are geographically consistent for subsequent analysis and processing.

[0149] Among these surface information, there are a large number of boundaries, such as wires, buildings, etc. Obtaining these boundaries can be achieved through existing technologies such as the Candy edge detection algorithm or the Sobel algorithm edge detection algorithm. These boundary lines may not be clear enough, so methods such as curve fitting need to be used for refinement and repair to make the boundaries more accurate.

[0150] After processing the candidate drop regions and the second surface data, the candidate drop regions and the second surface data are superimposed to analyze the relationship between the two. For example, areas that are not suitable for dropping, such as water bodies or buildings, are excluded, and finally the suitable dropping areas are determined;

[0151] Such multiple operations can ensure that the generated target drop region has clear edges and greatly reduce the misjudgment risk of a single sensor.

[0152] Sub-step S532, determine the target drop region according to the analysis result.

[0153] Refer to Figure 2 , which shows a schematic flowchart of determining the target drop region in an embodiment of the monitoring terminal dropping method of the present invention.

[0154] First, during the output process of the preliminary throwable region (shp1), a high-definition camera and an infrared thermal imager are first used as the carried sensors. Among them, the high-definition camera is used to capture high-resolution images and provide detailed visual information of the surface; the infrared thermal imager is used to detect the thermal distribution of the surface and identify the thermal anomaly regions. Then, texture analysis is performed on the high-resolution images to identify different features and objects on the surface. Thermal anomaly detection is performed on the thermal distribution data to find possible heat sources or anomaly regions. After excluding the anomaly regions, the remaining regions are output as the preliminary throwable region (shp1);

[0155] During the further identification of the fine throwable region (shp2), multi-spectral sensors and hyperspectral sensors are used. The multi-spectral sensor can capture spectral information in multiple bands and provide detailed spectral characteristics of the surface. The hyperspectral sensor can capture more and finer spectral bands and provide higher-precision spectral classification information. The spectral sensor obtains the spectral characteristic data of the key bands. Classification processing is performed according to the spectral band characteristic data, so that different substances and coverage types on the surface can be identified. Then, boundary optimization is combined with the data of shp1, and finally the fine throwable region is output. That is, the target drop region.

[0156] Step 106, drop the monitoring terminal according to the second digital surface model and the target drop region.

[0157] In one embodiment, step 106 may include the following sub-steps:

[0158] Sub-step S61, obtaining environmental information of the target delivery area;

[0159] Among them, the environmental information may include meteorological conditions such as wind direction, wind force, temperature, humidity, etc. These information will affect the delivery accuracy and stability of the monitoring terminal. For example, wind direction and wind force will affect the falling trajectory of the monitoring terminal.

[0160] Sub-step S62, obtaining elevation information for the monitoring area according to the second digital surface model;

[0161] The elevation information is the altitude and undulation of the terrain.

[0162] Sub-step S63, determining the target delivery height and the target delivery course angle according to the elevation information and the environmental information;

[0163] Determine the safe delivery height according to the elevation information and the environmental information.

[0164] Exemplarily, the implementation method may be to convert the point cloud data into a grid elevation map. The resolution can be based on the flight accuracy requirements, and the local maximum elevation is calculated through a sliding window to generate a safe flight height layer. And according to the wind direction and wind force, calculate the course angle compensation value of the aircraft to offset the crosswind drift and ensure the delivery accuracy. The calculation method can adopt existing technologies such as dead reckoning;

[0165] Sub-step S64, determining the target delivery path according to the second digital surface model and the target delivery area;

[0166] Exemplarily, when planning the delivery path of the aircraft, when the target delivery area is a regularly shaped area, a reciprocating flight path can be adopted; when the target delivery area is an irregularly shaped area, a spiral flight path can be adopted; and the path can be dynamically adjusted through the D*Lite algorithm during the process. The D*Lite algorithm is a dynamic path planning algorithm proposed in 2002. Its advantage is that it can use the information of the first calculated path to dynamically plan the path.

[0167] Sub-step S65, delivering the monitoring terminal according to the target delivery height, the target delivery course angle and the target delivery path.

[0168] Exemplarily, the above parameters can be integrated, and the falling trajectory of the monitoring terminal can be calculated through a ballistics model to achieve precise delivery.

[0169] By scientifically planning scanning rules and automating data processing, the number and time of manual intervention are reduced, the deployment cycle is significantly shortened, and efficient and rapid monitoring terminal deployment is achieved. By customizing the second scanning rule based on the first result obtained by determining the first scanning rule for the monitoring area, multi-stage scanning is realized, enabling the deployment of monitoring terminals to adapt to complex terrain and dynamic environments, ensuring the stability and reliability of the deployment process, and further improving the deployment efficiency. By combining the first surface data and the second surface data, the deployment area can be accurately selected, avoiding repeated and ineffective deployments, reducing waste of monitoring terminals, and lowering the overall deployment cost. Through the efficient and accurate deployment method, large-scale monitoring requirements can be met, providing technical support for wide applications in fields such as environmental monitoring, disaster warning, and agricultural management.

[0170] It should be noted that for the method embodiments, for the sake of simple description, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations. However, those skilled in the art should know that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited by the described action sequences, because according to the embodiments of the present invention, certain steps can be performed in other sequences or simultaneously. Secondly, those skilled in the art should also know that the embodiments described in the specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions involved are not necessarily essential for the embodiments of the present invention.

[0171] Refer to Figure 3 , which shows a structural block diagram of an embodiment of a monitoring terminal deployment method device of the present invention, and specifically may include the following modules:

[0172] The first scan result acquisition module 201 is configured to acquire a first scan result for the monitoring area; the first scan result is obtained by using a first aircraft equipped with a first data acquisition device to scan the monitoring area along a first scan path;

[0173] In the fields of remote sensing, surveying and mapping, and environmental monitoring, the scan result usually refers to a data set generated after data acquisition of a target area by a sensor device, including image data, surface data, etc. These data are used to construct a surface model or analyze surface features.

[0174] Among them, the monitoring area can be obtained by selecting the engineering area range on the satellite base map. The first aircraft is a flight tool for performing the initial scan task, which can be various flight tools such as drones, helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft. The first data acquisition device is a sensor device for acquiring surface information of the monitoring area, which can be various devices such as optical cameras, infrared sensors, radar sensors, laser scanners, and spectral sensors; the first scan path refers to the flight route of the first aircraft for scanning in the monitoring area; the first scan result can exist in the form of point cloud data;

[0175] A point cloud is a collection of a large number of three-dimensional points, where each point records a position in space, usually represented by (X, Y, Z) coordinates. A point cloud can also contain other information, such as color, intensity, or reflectivity, etc.

[0176] The first data acquisition module 202 obtains a first digital surface model and first surface data according to the first scan result.

[0177] A digital surface model (DSM) is a three-dimensional model that represents the elevation of the surface and all objects on it (such as buildings, trees, etc.). It reflects the true shape of the surface, including the natural surface and man-made structures.

[0178] The second scan result acquisition module 203 acquires a second scan result for the monitoring area; the second scan result is obtained by using a second aircraft equipped with a second data acquisition device to scan the monitoring area along a second scan path; the second scan path is determined according to the first scan result.

[0179] After a preliminary rough scan of the monitoring area, it is necessary to further perform a refined scan of the monitoring area. Among them, the first scan result can provide a reference for the second scan path.

[0180] For example, the first digital surface model can be imported into the aircraft supporting route planning software to generate a flight route. Its flight altitude can be the same as that of the first scan. If the terrain is flat, the flight altitude can be set in the corresponding aircraft control software; in case of special terrain, the first flight path can be called and the original flight route can be directly used. It should be noted that the aircraft supporting route planning software can be various route planning software in the prior art, and the embodiments of the present invention do not make any limitations thereto.

[0181] The second data acquisition module 204 obtains a second digital surface model and second surface data according to the second scan result.

[0182] Since the scan route of the second scan and the type of sensor carried are both obtained from the first scan result, the second scan result is more refined than the first scan result, and the reference ratio of the generated second digital surface model and second surface data is also greater.

[0183] The target delivery area acquisition module 205 is used to determine the target delivery area according to the first surface data and the second surface data.
