Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of data acquisition and processing technology, and in particular to a highly reliable lossless data acquisition and processing system and method. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in logistics, urban management, environmental monitoring, and security patrols, creating new demands for low-altitude airspace management and supervision technologies. Existing UAV supervision methods mainly include ground-based radar detection, base station wireless positioning, and active broadcasting of aircraft identification identifiers, supplemented by single-point data detection or rule-based anomaly behavior judgment to achieve UAV positioning, identification, and management. These traditional methods, to a certain extent, supported the supervision needs of early small-scale UAV applications, forming a basic flight monitoring system.
[0003] However, with the rapid increase in the number of drones in low-altitude airspace and the increasing complexity of application scenarios, existing monitoring technologies are gradually revealing several limitations. On the one hand, ground-based sensing methods have limited airspace coverage, resulting in blind spots and insufficient synchronization accuracy, making it difficult to achieve simultaneous high-precision detection of multiple targets. On the other hand, multi-base station collaborative sensing relies solely on simple fusion at the post-detection level, lacking underlying symbol-level data fusion optimization, leading to significant deviations in joint detection results and affecting the accuracy of target parameter extraction. Furthermore, traditional drone identification methods largely depend on static broadcasts or single-point data analysis, lacking intelligent classification and legitimacy determination mechanisms based on historical flight track features. In terms of system capacity management, existing technologies generally lack dynamic capacity estimation and traffic scheduling strategies based on real-time sensing results, failing to effectively address overload issues in high-density flight scenarios. Finally, in anomaly detection, existing methods mainly rely on single sensor thresholds or fixed models, lacking deep structured analysis of drone mission payload data and dynamic adaptive detection mechanisms, resulting in insufficient accuracy and real-time performance in anomaly identification.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose an integrated regulatory system that can achieve low-altitude wide-coverage synchronous perception, symbol-level data fusion optimization, flight identification based on flight path characteristics, dynamic capacity management and scheduling control, and intelligent anomaly detection based on mission payload data, so as to improve the overall efficiency, safety and intelligence level of UAV airspace management.

[0079] The echo receiving unit is used to switch to the receiving mode after each transmission cycle to receive echo signals from airspace targets.
[0080] The time synchronization unit is used to perform time synchronization control based on the 5G NR system synchronization signal or the global navigation satellite system signal, so that the time synchronization error between base stations is controlled within a set threshold.
[0081] The signal processing unit is used to perform preprocessing and frequency domain transformation processing on the received echo signal;
[0082] The spatial spectrum estimation unit is used to perform spatial spectrum estimation on the processed signal based on the improved spatial smoothing multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm, and generate local detection spectrum data.
[0083] In one embodiment, the improved spatially smoothed multiple signal classification algorithm includes:
[0084] Two-dimensional parameter spectrum estimation is introduced, and a dual-parameter detection spectrum is constructed based on the joint search of distance and velocity parameters;
[0085] Composite spatial smoothing is applied to divide the array space into multiple overlapping sub-arrays and the frequency space into sub-bands, generating sub-array covariance matrices and averaging them.
[0086] Based on the reconstruction of the covariance matrix using multi-order statistics, the covariance matrix is corrected by fusing statistical information from each subarray and subband under limited sample conditions.
[0087] Noise subspace adaptive optimization: The threshold for dividing the noise feature subspace and the signal feature subspace is dynamically set based on the local detection spectrum energy.
[0088] Local energy sensing adaptive scanning limits the search area based on the initial detection of spectral energy distribution, and only performs a refined search in areas where the spectral energy exceeds a set threshold;

[0090] Parameter estimation error compensation is performed by calculating the correction amount of the preliminary estimated point based on the joint spectral gradient, and then updating the final estimated values of the distance and velocity parameters.
[0091] With the above configuration, the base station sensing module in this embodiment employs multi-beam transmission and fast mode switching during standard 5G Synchronous Signal Block (SSB) broadcasting and echo reception to achieve continuous coverage and real-time detection of spatial targets. The introduced improved spatial smoothing multi-signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm performs dual-parameter search using both distance and velocity parameters to simultaneously estimate the target's spatial location and dynamic characteristics. Composite spatial smoothing is used, dividing the array space and frequency space into substructures and averaging them to improve the robustness and resolution of the covariance matrix estimation. Furthermore, by fusing multi-order statistical information from sub-arrays and sub-bands, estimation bias under limited sample conditions is effectively mitigated, improving the stability of spectral estimation. The noise subspace adaptive optimization mechanism dynamically sets the feature subspace boundary based on local detection spectral energy, enhancing the detectability of weak signal targets. The local energy sensing scanning strategy reduces interference and improves detection efficiency by limiting the search area. The target relocation and parameter estimation error compensation mechanism further optimizes the target parameter estimation accuracy through subspace matched filtering and joint spectral gradient correction. Compared to traditional base station sensing and single spatial spectrum estimation algorithms, this embodiment significantly improves the accuracy, stability and reliability of UAV target detection in low-altitude airspace through multi-dimensional processing and optimization, and has excellent application value and expansion potential.
[0092] (2) Data Fusion Module
[0093] This is used to perform symbol-level fusion processing on the local detection spectra of multiple base stations, and to extract the position and velocity of the UAV target based on the fusion results; wherein, the data fusion module adopts a symbol-level fusion method and performs joint spectral bias minimization processing based on the improved spatial smoothing multiple signal classification MUSIC algorithm;
[0094] The input interface unit is used to receive local detection spectrum data from multiple base stations;
[0095] The joint spectrum calculation unit is used to calculate the joint detection spectrum according to the following formula:
[0096]
[0097] Where: P m (r,v) represents the local detection spectrum calculated by the m-th base station for the radial distance parameter r and the radial velocity parameter v; P sum (r,v) represents the joint detection spectrum obtained by fusing the local detection spectra of multiple base stations; M represents the number of base stations participating in the fusion process.

[0102] With the above configuration, the data fusion module in this embodiment receives local detection spectrum data generated by multiple base station sensing modules and performs joint processing based on a symbol-level fusion method. Compared with traditional schemes that mainly rely on decision-level fusion, this approach can achieve information fusion at the underlying signal level, fully preserving the phase and amplitude characteristics of the detection signals from each base station. In the fusion processing, an improved spatial smoothing multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm is used to perform joint spectral deviation minimization estimation on the local detection spectrum data. During the fusion process, a spectral deviation suppression weight is introduced to effectively reduce the impact of single-base station measurement errors on the joint spectral estimation results, improving the consistency and accuracy of the fused detection. Specifically, in the fusion estimation process, the joint spectrum calculation unit first calculates the total joint detection spectrum based on each local detection spectrum, and then the deviation suppression unit adjusts the signal contribution of each base station based on a set spectral deviation weight factor, thereby achieving optimized extraction of target parameters. Through the above processing, this embodiment can still achieve high-precision estimation of the target UAV position and velocity parameters even when there are random errors, synchronization deviations, or partial interference in the multi-base station observation information. Compared with traditional methods, it achieves significant improvements in fusion accuracy, stability, and weak signal detection sensitivity, making it particularly suitable for the joint detection and tracking of multi-source UAV targets in complex airspace environments.
[0103] (3) Capacity Management Module
[0104] Used to dynamically estimate the base station's sensing capacity and perform drone traffic scheduling when overloaded;
[0105] The drone count calculation unit is used to calculate the maximum number of drones N that can be supported at present, based on a dynamic estimation of the base station's carrying capacity. max , where N max Calculated using the following formula:
[0106]
[0107] Wherein: γ avail To effectively perceive the signal-to-noise ratio, For environmental noise power, γ min This is the minimum detection threshold;
[0108] The control unit is used to determine the maximum number of drones N calculated from the data. max Real-time traffic control is implemented when the number of drones approaches N. max At the same time, delay or guidance control is implemented to avoid system overload and ensure detection feasibility.
[0109] In this embodiment, the capacity management module dynamically estimates the maximum number of drones that each base station can currently support based on real-time received sensing data. Specifically, the drone count calculation unit calculates the maximum drone capacity in real time using a capacity estimation formula based on three indicators: effective sensing signal-to-noise ratio, ambient noise power, and minimum detection threshold. When the system detects that the number of actually connected drones is close to or exceeds the capacity threshold, the control unit triggers a flow control mechanism based on the capacity estimation result, executing measures including delayed flight mission initiation, flight path guidance adjustment, or commanded flow reduction, thereby effectively avoiding the risk of monitoring failure due to system overload. Compared with existing technologies that only set capacity limits based on static parameters, this embodiment, by introducing a real-time dynamic estimation mechanism, can adaptively adjust the sensing capacity limit according to changes in the airspace environment, significantly improving the stability and reliability of the system in complex flight scenarios. Simultaneously, through the linkage of capacity control and flow scheduling, intelligent flow allocation is achieved in high-density drone flight environments, enhancing the system's resource utilization efficiency and flight safety assurance capabilities.
[0110] (4) Flight recognition module
[0111] Used to combine fusion detection results and regulatory databases to identify the identity, legitimacy, and flight category of target drones;
[0112] The trajectory feature extraction unit is used to extract the rate of change of velocity, trajectory curvature, and rate of change of flight altitude as trajectory feature parameters based on the historical trajectory data of the UAV target.
[0113] A classifier unit is used to determine the category of the trajectory feature parameters based on a trained machine learning model, wherein the machine learning model includes a support vector machine (SVM) model or a convolutional neural network (CNN) model.
[0114] The data comparison unit is used to compare the identification result of the target with the flight permit information and no-fly zone information in the regulatory database to verify the target's ID number, flight permit status and the legality of the flight area;
[0115] The output unit is used to output the legality classification result and flight category label of the target UAV.
[0116] In this embodiment, the flight identification module combines fused detection results with data from the regulatory database to comprehensively determine the legality and flight category of the target UAV. Specifically, the track feature extraction unit extracts dynamic feature parameters such as velocity change rate, track curvature, and flight altitude change rate based on the target UAV's historical track data, forming a track feature vector for identification. The classifier unit uses a trained machine learning model to classify the extracted track feature vector, supporting models including Support Vector Machine (SVM) or Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models to achieve accurate classification of different flight categories. The data comparison unit automatically matches and verifies the identification results with flight permit information and no-fly zone delineation information stored in the regulatory database to verify the target UAV's ID code and flight permit status, determining its legality in the current airspace. The output unit outputs the legality classification result and flight category label of the target UAV based on the comprehensive results of comparison and classification. Compared to traditional flight identification methods that rely on single flight path features or static rule comparisons, this embodiment introduces multi-dimensional dynamic feature extraction and machine learning classification, combined with real-time database comparison, which significantly improves the accuracy of flight identification and the sensitivity of illegal target detection, and can adapt to the needs of drone supervision in highly dynamic and complex airspace environments.

[0121] When flight density is high, the path adjustment unit initiates backup flight path planning or adjusts the scheduling order of flight missions to avoid congested areas.
[0122] In this embodiment, the scheduling and control module issues corresponding flight commands or triggers security linkage measures based on the classification results of the target UAVs, and adopts graded responses for different abnormal situations. Specifically, when the illegal flight emergency response unit detects illegal flight or abnormal UAVs approaching restricted areas, it automatically generates flight trajectory optimization commands and controls the target UAVs to adjust their speed and correct their heading, guiding them away from the controlled area and reducing the risk of intrusion. The illegal flight alarm unit promptly identifies behaviors that violate flight regulations by comparing flight targets with geographical restriction database information in real time, and activates a warning mechanism when illegal flight is identified, linking the ground control system or security equipment to perform further actions. When the path adjustment unit detects that the flight density exceeds a preset threshold, it dynamically plans alternative flight paths or adjusts the flight mission scheduling order to guide UAVs to avoid congested areas and reduce the risk of flight conflicts. Compared with the traditional scheduling method that mainly relies on static no-fly zone alarms, this embodiment, by combining real-time target classification, anomaly detection, and dynamic flight adjustment, forms an integrated flight scheduling and control system of early warning, avoidance, and linkage response, significantly improving the system's response speed and security control capabilities in complex and dynamic airspace environments.

[0132] The anomaly detection unit is used to perform anomaly detection on the task payload data and generate anomaly detection results based on the results of dynamic feature selection and adaptive threshold setting.
[0133] In this embodiment, the intelligent analysis module performs anomaly detection on the mission payload data transmitted back by the UAV, achieving early detection and identification of abnormal states through multi-module collaboration. The data processing unit receives state data from multimodal sensors and uses a weighted decision algorithm to fuse different sensor data, calculating a comprehensive anomaly score. The dynamic evaluation unit sets a dynamic threshold based on the comprehensive score, monitors changes in the characteristics of the fused data, and determines in real time whether the system state is abnormal. In the specific implementation process, the mission data parsing unit first performs structured parsing on the transmitted mission payload data, extracting multi-dimensional feature information including speed, position, and mission progress; the dynamic feature selection unit filters the feature subset most relevant to anomaly detection from the multi-dimensional feature set, improving detection efficiency and accuracy. Subsequently, the adaptive threshold setting unit dynamically adjusts the anomaly detection judgment threshold based on the statistical characteristics of the feature subset, achieving adaptive sensitivity adjustment for different mission states. Finally, the anomaly identification unit comprehensively analyzes the payload data behavior based on the results of dynamic feature selection and adaptive threshold setting, generating anomaly detection and identification conclusions.
