Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mural system technology, specifically to an intelligent wall mural system and method based on multimodal fusion positioning. Background Technology
[0002] Wall painting, as an art form, is widely used in urban promotion and interior decoration. In urban promotion, wall painting can be used to advocate civilized behavior, promote public welfare activities, and encourage healthy exercise, thereby shaping a civilized image of the city. In interior decoration, wall painting can be used to depict creative scenes on the walls according to the homeowner's personal preferences and pursuits, achieving a personalized decorative effect.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN110228298A, which discloses a wall painting device based on an automated control system. This device comprises casters, a motion device, a material conveying device, a spraying device, a drive device, and a frame. The casters are mounted on the frame at the bottom of the painting machine, allowing for easy movement. The spraying device acts as the actuator, atomizing and spraying pigments onto the wall surface. The motion device drives the spraying device in both horizontal and vertical directions, moving it from point strokes to lines and lines to surfaces, enabling the spraying device to complete the painting of the entire wall. The material conveying device continuously supplies pigments from three bottles containing different colors (the three primary colors) to the spraying device to maintain the spraying operation and complete the painting of the entire wall.
[0004] However, existing systems use RGB pigment bottles for feeding and generate colors through physical mixing. However, due to limitations in the uniformity of mechanical mixing and the precision of algorithmic control, they struggle to meet the high requirements of complex patterns for gradients and transitions. For example, the superposition of dark and light colors easily produces color differences, resulting in a lack of pattern depth. Furthermore, the motion devices of existing equipment rely on a preset coordinate system for horizontal and vertical movement, but lack the ability to dynamically perceive complex wall surfaces such as uneven surfaces, corners, and obstacles. When the wall is uneven or there are obstacles such as doors and windows, the spraying trajectory may deviate from the expected position, causing pattern misalignment or interruption. In addition, there is no compensation mechanism for the equipment's own positioning errors, such as omnidirectional wheel slippage and mechanical vibration, which can easily accumulate positioning deviations over long-term use. Therefore, this invention designs an intelligent wall painting system and method based on multimodal fusion positioning to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0041] The working principle of this invention is as follows: An intelligent wall painting system based on multimodal fusion positioning achieves high-precision positioning and automated construction in complex scenarios through the collaborative action of modules. The intelligent base station array (module M1) first deploys no fewer than four base stations around the wall, dynamically adjusting the spacing to 10-30 meters based on the wall size. Each base station is equipped with a dual-band LoRa module to achieve self-organizing network communication, and a greedy algorithm optimizes the deployment location to ensure signal coverage ≥95%.

[0045] Example 2;
[0046] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the invention, a method for an intelligent wall painting system based on multimodal fusion positioning is provided. The method includes the following steps: Step S1, initialization stage: the wall surface is scanned by an intelligent base station array, a three-dimensional map is constructed with a point cloud density of 5cm, the coordinates of doors, windows, cracks, and obstacles are marked, and uploaded to the cloud platform; Step S2, path planning stage: the cloud platform analyzes the painting scheme data, generates a global spraying path based on the Dijkstra algorithm, and simulates the collision probability of the robotic arm movement using the Monte Carlo method; Step S3, real-time operation stage: the AR system calculates the pose in real time through the multimodal fusion positioning model. When a local depression depth on the wall surface is detected to be >5mm, the spraying pressure is automatically adjusted to the range of 0.3-0.5MPa; Step S4, quality control stage: after construction is completed, the wall surface image is acquired by the AR system and compared with the target scheme using SSIM structural similarity. When the difference area exceeds 2%, a repainting instruction is generated.
[0047] Step S3 includes the following steps: Step a, when the ambient light intensity change exceeds 2000 lux, activate the visual positioning enhancement mode and increase the sampling rate of the binocular camera to 30fps; Step b, for the gradient color area, generate the transition color spraying instruction through the HSV color space interpolation algorithm, and the single color gradient band resolution is up to 256 levels; Step c, when working in the corner area, switch to the high-precision LiDAR assisted positioning mode 20cm in advance to ensure that the corner connection error is less than 1cm.
[0048] Step S4 includes the following steps: Step a, when the overall wall coverage is detected to be less than 98%, the touch-up spraying mode is automatically triggered, and the touch-up spraying path is replanned based on the point cloud data of the uncovered area; Step b, the uniformity of the sprayed color is detected by the spectral analysis unit, and when the color difference ΔE>1, the spraying pressure and pigment ratio are automatically adjusted; Step c, after the construction is completed, the wall image is collected by the AR system, and a construction quality report is generated by combining the deep learning algorithm. The report includes key indicators such as coverage, color difference value and flatness.
[0049] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Based on multimodal fusion positioning, the intelligent wall painting method achieves fully automated construction and quality control through phased collaborative optimization. In the initialization phase (step S1), the intelligent base station array scans the wall surface with a point cloud density of 5cm, constructs a three-dimensional map, and marks the coordinates of obstacles such as doors, windows, and cracks, and uploads it to the cloud platform. In the path planning phase (step S2), the cloud platform analyzes the painting scheme data, generates a global spraying path based on the Dijkstra algorithm, and simulates the collision probability of the robotic arm movement using the Monte Carlo method to optimize path safety.
[0050] In the real-time operation phase (step S3), the AR system calculates the pose in real time using a multimodal fusion positioning model. When a local depression depth on the wall is detected to be greater than 5mm, the spraying pressure is automatically adjusted to the range of 0.3-0.5MPa. When the ambient light intensity changes by more than 2000 lux, the system activates the visual positioning enhancement mode, increasing the sampling rate of the binocular camera to 30fps to ensure positioning stability. For gradient color areas, transition color spraying instructions are generated using the HSV color space interpolation algorithm, with single-color gradients achieving a resolution of 256 color levels for fine color transitions. When operating in corner areas, the system switches to high-precision LiDAR-assisted positioning mode 20cm in advance to ensure that the corner connection error is less than 1cm.
[0051] In the quality control phase (step S4), after construction is completed, the AR system acquires wall images and compares them with the target design using SSIM structural similarity. If the difference exceeds 2%, a redraw instruction is generated. When the overall wall coverage is below 98%, a touch-up spraying mode is automatically triggered, and the touch-up spraying path is replanned based on the point cloud data of the uncovered areas. The spectral analysis unit detects the uniformity of the sprayed color; when the color difference ΔE > 1, the spraying pressure and pigment ratio are automatically adjusted to ensure the final spraying quality. After construction is completed, the system uses deep learning algorithms to generate a report containing key indicators such as coverage, color difference value, and flatness, providing data support for subsequent optimization.
[0052] A dynamic error model built using reinforcement learning algorithms analyzes operational posture, environmental disturbances, and equipment jitter data in real time, predicts path deviations, and automatically generates compensation commands, reducing the need for manual intervention. The system improves positioning stability by 80% in complex scenarios such as signal obstruction and electromagnetic interference, supports seamless mapping of curved surfaces and irregularly shaped walls, increases construction efficiency by 300% compared to traditional methods, reduces manual error correction operations by more than 90%, and is suitable for high-altitude operations (≥3 meters).
[0053] Example 3;
[0054] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the invention, a specific implementation scheme for an intelligent wall painting system based on multimodal fusion positioning is provided, the technical details and parameter configuration of which are as follows:
[0055] The intelligent base station array deploys 4-8 base stations with dynamically adjustable spacing (10-30 meters). It is equipped with a U-blox ZED-F9P RTK module (positioning accuracy ±1cm), a 2.4GHz / 5GHz dual-band LoRa self-organizing network module (communication latency <50ms), and a 16-line LiDAR (angular resolution 0.5°, detection range 50m). The environmental perception module integrates an Intel RealSense D455 RGB-D camera (depth accuracy ±2mm@2m) to construct a 3D point cloud map of the wall (point cloud density 5cm) and mark areas with concave and convex defects (depth error <3mm).
[0056] The AR intelligent operation terminal uses HoloLens 2 AR glasses, integrating an MPU-9250IMU (100Hz sampling rate), a Leica BLK360 binocular vision module (4K resolution, 30fps), and an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier edge computing unit (32TOPS computing power); the robotic arm uses the UR10e six-axis collaborative robotic arm (repeat positioning accuracy ±0.05mm), equipped with a PID controller to adjust the spraying pressure (0.3-0.5MPa) and the moving speed (0.1-1.5m / s).
[0057] In the initialization phase, wall scanning and modeling are performed. LiDAR scans the wall with a point cloud density of 5cm to generate a 3D map (including coordinates of doors, windows, and cracks). A greedy algorithm is used to optimize the base station location to ensure signal coverage ≥95%. For surface segmentation, the wall is divided into 0.5m×0.5m sub-patterns, which are classified and labeled based on the radius of curvature (>1m is a plane, <0.5m is a high curvature area) and uploaded to the cloud.
[0058] In the path planning stage, a global path is generated, and the Dijkstra algorithm is used in the cloud to plan the spraying path. Monte Carlo simulation of the robotic arm's movement trajectory (collision probability <0.1%) is used. Dynamic obstacle avoidance optimization is performed, with LiDAR detecting obstacles (such as temporary equipment) in real time and the path being dynamically adjusted through the A* algorithm, with an obstacle avoidance response time of <200ms.
[0059] During the real-time operation phase, multimodal positioning fusion is performed. RTK (10Hz), IMU (100Hz) and visual SLAM (30Hz) data are fused by extended Kalman filter (EKF) to output a six-degree-of-freedom pose (error <2mm). When operating at heights (≥3 meters), dual IMU cross-validation is activated, the positioning frequency is increased to 100Hz, and the visual weight is dynamically adjusted to 0.8.
[0060] Spraying control: The robotic arm sprays along the path. When the wall surface has a depression depth >5mm, the spraying pressure is automatically adjusted to 0.5MPa (flow control accuracy ±0.1mL / s). The gradient color area uses the HSV interpolation algorithm to generate 256 color levels. The printhead (Epson I3200-A1) outputs at a resolution of 2880dpi, and the smoothness of the transition color band is SSIM≥0.98.
[0061] During the quality control phase, color difference detection is performed using a built-in X-Rite eXact spectrophotometer to detect ΔE values in real time. Areas exceeding the standard (ΔE>1) trigger closed-loop adjustment (pigment ratio is adjusted to meet the standard within 3 iterations). Coverage verification involves an AR system acquiring wall images and comparing them with the target scheme using the SSIM algorithm. When the difference area is >2%, a respraying path is generated (coverage is resprayed to ≥98%). Report generation uses a deep learning model (ResNet-50) to analyze construction data and output a quality report (including indicators such as flatness error <0.5mm and average color difference ΔE ≤1.2).
[0062] The working principle of this invention is as follows: the multimodal fusion positioning error is stabilized at ±2mm in complex scenes (electromagnetic interference, occlusion), which is 80% higher than that of traditional RTK (±10mm); in terms of construction efficiency, the robotic arm spraying speed reaches 15㎡ / hour, which is 300% higher than that of manual painting (2㎡ / day); the energy consumption optimization module reduces power consumption by 30%; the pigment dynamic ratio system achieves color uniformity of ΔE≤1.5 and supports 16-color mixing.
[0063] Working principle: The intelligent wall painting system and method based on multimodal fusion positioning achieves high-precision positioning and fully automated construction in complex scenarios through modular design and collaborative optimization. In the initialization stage, the system first scans the wall surface through an intelligent base station array to build a three-dimensional point cloud map and mark the coordinates of obstacles, providing an accurate environmental model for subsequent construction. The base station array dynamically adjusts its deployment position to optimize signal coverage and switches to a visual-inertial tightly coupled positioning mode when the signal is lost to ensure construction continuity.
[0064] During the real-time operation phase, the AR intelligent operation system combines RTK, IMU, and visual data to calculate pose in real time through a multimodal fusion positioning model, supporting high-precision positioning and spraying path planning in high-altitude operation mode. The system automatically generates repair plans based on wall defects and uses a spectral analysis unit to detect the color difference between the sprayed color and the target color card in real time, dynamically adjusting the pigment ratio to ensure color consistency. For gradient color areas, the system generates transition color spraying instructions through a color space interpolation algorithm to achieve fine color transition.
[0065] During the quality control phase, the system uses AR to acquire wall images and compares them with the target design to identify structural similarity, automatically identifying areas of difference and generating redrawing instructions. When insufficient wall coverage or color difference exceeding the threshold is detected, the system triggers a touch-up spraying mode and optimizes the touch-up spraying path. After construction is completed, the system uses deep learning algorithms to generate a construction quality report, providing data support for subsequent optimization.
