AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for debris flow monitoring are slow and have low accuracy in complex terrain and special environments. They are also difficult to collect and analyze infrasound signals in real time and accurately, which makes debris flow monitoring difficult and unable to provide effective early warning.
In areas prone to debris flows, an array of infrasound sensors is deployed. Synchronization is ensured through GPS timing. Signal processing is performed using a Chebyshev Type II filter, dB3 wavelet basis noise reduction, Fourier transform, and ResNet50+SVM model. The location of debris flows is calculated using an infrasound signal energy attenuation model and a time difference of arrival algorithm, which automatically triggers early warnings.
It enables real-time and accurate debris flow monitoring and location in complex mountainous areas. The system operates fully automatically without manual intervention, making it suitable for applications in remote areas. The positioning error is within an acceptable range, and the detection and alarm effects are good.
