[0048] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation
[0049] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0050] It should be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, data stored, data displayed, etc.) involved in this application are all information and data authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties. Furthermore, the collection, storage, use, processing, transmission, provision, disclosure, and application of the relevant data all comply with the relevant laws, regulations, and standards of the relevant regions, have taken necessary confidentiality measures, do not violate public order and good morals, and provide corresponding operation portals for users to choose to authorize or refuse.
[0051] Currently, gas leaks pose a significant threat to urban public safety. Therefore, timely detection of gas leaks is necessary. Detection locations include, but are not limited to: residential areas, industrial and commercial users, gas pipeline networks, gas gate stations and other urban gas infrastructure areas; complex terrain areas such as mountainous areas and rivers; super-large areas such as industrial parks with a floor area of 10 km²; areas involved in emergency situations such as pipeline inspections after earthquakes; and underground areas such as underground utility tunnels where GPS (Global Positioning System) signals are missing.
[0052] Existing gas leak detection technologies are divided into contact detection technologies (such as catalytic combustion sensors, electrochemical sensors, and thermal conductivity sensors) and non-contact detection technologies (such as infrared gas imaging and ultrasonic detection).
[0053] For example, in contact detection technology, catalytic combustion sensors are used for detection. The effective detection radius of a single catalytic combustion sensor is only 2-5 meters, and 200-500 sensors need to be deployed per square kilometer. This is costly and has a large number of blind spots, resulting in limited coverage. Furthermore, since catalytic combustion sensors rely on the heat change generated by the combustion of gas on the catalyst surface to detect concentration, this method is suitable for combustible gases such as methane and propane, but it is susceptible to sulfides, leading to poisoning or detection failure, which reduces the safety and reliability of the detection.
[0054] For example, in non-contact detection technologies, infrared gas imaging equipment is used for detection. This method utilizes the absorption characteristics of gases to specific wavelengths of infrared light to generate gas cloud images using a thermal imager. It is suitable for visualizing leaks in industrial plants, but its effective detection distance is less than 100 meters, which limits its detection range. It is also susceptible to weather conditions (such as rain and fog), making it difficult to meet the needs of large-area coverage. In addition, when identifying gas leaks through manual inspections, blind spots in inspection paths are likely to exist in complex pipe networks (such as underground pipe corridors and densely built-up areas). Manual inspections are inefficient, rely on human experience, and have a high rate of missed detections.
[0055] Based on the above scenarios, it can be seen that existing technologies suffer from technical problems such as limited detection range, high false negative rate, low detection efficiency, and poor accuracy.
[0056] The gas leak detection method provided in this application acquires first light intensity attenuation data, flow rate data during off-peak hours, and discrete pressure sensor data within a target area. The first light intensity attenuation data is then inverted and reconstructed to obtain a laser concentration field. Flow rate data is analyzed to identify flow anomalies, and discrete pressure sensor data is analyzed to identify pressure topological low points. Laser evidence is then determined based on the laser scan concentration value in the laser concentration field. Flow evidence is determined based on the gas meter flow rate in the spatiotemporally aligned flow anomaly data. Pressure evidence is determined based on the spatiotemporally aligned pressure topological low point data. When the target area does not conform to a preset complex terrain, the local leak confidence level of the target area is determined based on the aforementioned evidence. When the target area conforms to the preset complex terrain, a second light intensity attenuation data and flight attitude data of the target area are also collected by a UAV extension unit based on an obstacle avoidance flight path set. A UAV concentration field is generated based on the collected second light intensity attenuation data and flight attitude data. UAV leak evidence is determined based on the UAV concentration field. The UAV leak evidence and the local leak confidence level are then weighted and averaged to obtain a global leak confidence level. When the confidence level exceeds a preset threshold, an alarm notification and the leak location are output. This application reduces the blind spot in gas detection and improves the accuracy and reliability of gas leak detection results.

These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0062] In one possible embodiment, based on tunable semiconductor laser absorption spectroscopy, the absorption intensity of methane to a specified wavelength of laser light is measured using a laser scanning unit to obtain first light intensity attenuation data. For example, methane molecules have a strong absorption peak in the near-infrared region (e.g., 1653.7 nm), based on the Lambert-Beer law, i.e. It was determined that after the laser passes through methane gas, the initial intensity attenuation data is related to the methane concentration and optical path length. Determine the first light intensity attenuation data. Among them, The emitted light intensity (W). To receive light intensity (W) For methane at wavelength Absorption coefficient at (ppm⁻¹·m⁻¹) This refers to the methane concentration (ppm). is the optical path length (m).
[0063] Optionally, a gimbal in the laser scanning unit rotates horizontally (0° to 360°) and vertically (-30° to +90°) to perform spatial scanning of the target area. This gimbal is equipped with a laser transmitting / receiving module, and the scanning path during spatial scanning employs a spiral coverage strategy to ensure no blind spots within a fixed radius (e.g., 500 meters). The spiral coverage strategy includes a horizontal step angle, a vertical step angle, and a scanning cycle. The formula for calculating the horizontal step angle is... , The diameter of the laser beam (e.g., 0.1m). Let the scan radius be (e.g., 500m). The formula for calculating the vertical step angle is: , The scanning height is (e.g., 10m).

[0065] In one possible embodiment, a pressure sensor unit is used to collect discrete pressure sensor data from multiple pressure sensors within the target area. Since the pressure drops near the leak point, pressure topology low point data is determined from the discrete pressure sensor data.
[0066] S102. The laser concentration field is obtained by inverting and reconstructing the first light intensity attenuation data; abnormal flow data in the flow data is determined by the anomaly detection model; and the pressure topology low point data is determined based on the discrete pressure sensor data.
[0067] In one possible embodiment, a laser scanning unit scans and acquires multi-path optical data within the target area. The concentration integral value of ) (i.e., Then, the data fusion unit calculates the first light intensity attenuation data based on the concentration integral value. This first light intensity attenuation data is then iteratively optimized (e.g., using the SIRT algorithm) to generate a laser concentration field within a fixed radius (e.g., 500 meters). (e.g., a methane concentration heatmap with a resolution of 0.5m × 0.5m). For example, the formula for iterative optimization is: .
[0068] In one possible embodiment, after obtaining the traffic data, an anomaly detection model is used by a data fusion unit to identify traffic anomalies within the traffic data. The anomaly detection model includes a constant current model and a microflow model, with the constant current model being the most suitable. Off-peak hours From time to time Hourly traffic The flow rate was determined to be in a constant current abnormal state, whereby... For example, the off-peak period is 0:00-6:00, and the peak period is 18:00-20:00. This is based on a microflow model. The average flow rate within period T during off-peak hours Below the minimum reference gas flow rate The flow rate is determined to be a small flow anomaly. If a constant flow or small flow anomaly is detected by the anomaly detection model, then the flow rate is integrated. Estimate the leakage amount, This is the abnormal start time. This is the end time of the anomaly. Anomaly flow data is determined based on the amount of leakage (e.g., continuous flow even when no gas is being used, or flow rate below a preset normal flow rate threshold).
[0069] In one possible embodiment, after obtaining discrete pressure sensor data at multiple locations, kriging interpolation is employed. Discrete pressure sensor data Interpolation is a continuous pressure field , interpolation weights and Minimize the estimated variance , It is a semi-variogram. Then, based on the continuous pressure field, the gradient of the continuous pressure field is calculated. and the gradient magnitude Less than the threshold And pressure value Below the average pressure in the target area Discrete pressure sensor data within the region are identified as pressure topological low point data, i.e. , This represents the standard deviation of the pressure field, used to reflect the normal fluctuation range.
[0070] S103. The laser concentration field, abnormal flow data, and pressure topology low point data are fused to obtain the leakage confidence level; when the leakage confidence level exceeds the preset threshold, an alarm notification and the location of the leakage point are output.
[0071] The gas leak detection method provided in this application fuses laser concentration field, abnormal flow data, and pressure topology low point data to obtain the leak confidence level of the target area. When the leak confidence level exceeds a preset threshold, an alarm is triggered and the location of the leak point is output, thereby expanding the gas detection range and coverage, reducing detection blind spots, and improving the accuracy of gas leak detection results.
[0072] Optionally, the laser concentration field, flow anomaly data, and pressure topology low point data are spatiotemporally aligned to obtain spatiotemporally aligned laser concentration field, flow anomaly data, and pressure topology low point data; laser evidence is determined based on the laser scan concentration value in the spatiotemporally aligned laser concentration field; flow evidence is determined based on the gas meter flow rate in the spatiotemporally aligned flow anomaly data; pressure evidence is determined based on the spatiotemporally aligned pressure topology low point data; when the target area does not conform to the preset complex terrain, evidence synthesis processing is performed based on laser evidence, flow evidence, and pressure evidence to determine the local leakage confidence level of the target area.
[0073] Optionally, after determining the local leakage confidence level, the location of the leak point corresponding to the local leakage confidence level is obtained by performing a weighted average of the laser scanning point location corresponding to the laser concentration field, the gas meter location corresponding to the abnormal flow data, and the pressure sensor location corresponding to the low pressure topology data.
[0074] In one possible embodiment, a data fusion unit adds timestamps to the laser concentration field with a spatial resolution of 0.5m, the abnormal flow data located to a specific user, and the pressure topology low point data with a spatial resolution of 5m to ensure data temporal consistency. Then, the laser scanning point position corresponding to the laser concentration field, the gas meter position corresponding to the specific user corresponding to the abnormal flow data, and the pressure sensor position corresponding to the pressure topology low point data are mapped to a grid coordinate system of a preset size (e.g., the WGS84 grid coordinate system with a grid size of 0.5m × 0.5m) to ensure data spatial consistency and obtain the spatiotemporally aligned laser concentration field, abnormal flow data, and pressure topology low point data.
[0075] In one possible embodiment, the data fusion unit, for any given location (x, y), determines the concentration of laser evidence. Exceeding the preset concentration threshold (e.g., 5000ppm), then determine the weight corresponding to the laser evidence: , If the flow evidence indicates an anomaly in constant or minute flow at that location, then determine the weight corresponding to the flow evidence: , If the pressure evidence indicates that the location is a pressure topological low point, then determine the weight corresponding to the pressure evidence: , .
[0076] In one possible embodiment, when the target area (e.g., a facility, residential area, or small park) does not conform to a preset complex scenario, based on Figure 2 The gas leak detection system shown defines an identification framework Θ = {normal, abnormal}, and determines the basic probability allocation for laser evidence A, flow evidence B, and pressure evidence C. , , For example, their values are shown in Table 1 below:
[0077] Table 1
[0078]
[0079] Based on the above information, three sources of evidence (laser evidence A, flow evidence B, and pressure evidence C) are synthesized using Dempster's combination rules to calculate the local leakage confidence level in the target area. The specific process is as follows:
[0080] (1) Combine laser evidence A and flow evidence B using Dempster's combination rule, i.e., calculate the conflict coefficient based on Dempster's combination rule. ,in, For the focal element of laser evidence A, Let fjörn be the focal element of traffic evidence B, and fjörn's and The intersection is empty, therefore... Substitute the data to get .

More specifically, by determining the laser scanning point position corresponding to the laser concentration field.

A weighted average calculation is performed to obtain the location of the leak corresponding to the local leak confidence level. .in, ,For example, 0.8 0.15 It is 0.05.
[0113] This embodiment ensures the spatiotemporal consistency of multi-source data under non-complex terrain by performing spatiotemporal alignment on multi-dimensional data, avoiding false alarms and response delays caused by data asynchrony in traditional technologies. Furthermore, it synthesizes local leakage confidence based on laser concentration field, abnormal flow data, and pressure topology low point data, reducing detection blind spots and improving the accuracy and reliability of local leakage confidence.

Therefore, the set of obstacle avoidance routes is determined based on the obtained scan width. This ensures that, based on the obstacle avoidance route set covering the aforementioned target area, the coverage rate of the target area meets the preset coverage rate, and the spatial intersection of the obstacle avoidance route set and the obstacle set in the target area is an empty set.
[0118] Optionally, after obtaining the set of obstacle avoidance routes, the UAV extension unit represents each route as a sequence of points, i.e. ,in Use waypoints and establish fitness functions. The fitness function is used to perform fitness analysis on each route, and the optimal path is obtained, which minimizes the path length, maximizes the coverage of the target area, and maximizes the obstacle avoidance score. .
[0119] Optionally, the obstacle avoidance routes generated in the above embodiments can be updated and iterated through operations such as selection (roulette wheel), crossover (single point exchange), and mutation (random adjustment of waypoints).
[0120] Optionally, the data fusion unit includes a drone subsystem deployed on the drone extension unit side, a local subsystem deployed on the ground at the locations of the laser scanning unit, pressure sensor unit, and gas meter unit, and a cloud fusion platform deployed in the cloud.
[0121] In one possible embodiment, after obtaining the optimal path, the UAV extension unit controls the UAV's flight based on the obstacle avoidance route corresponding to the optimal path, enabling the UAV to scan the target area in real time during flight and obtain the multi-optical-path integrated concentration. The data includes the drone's position and attitude (e.g., drone altitude, scan angle, GPS, INS (Inertial Navigation System)) and meteorological data. Optical path length , For the drone's altitude, The scanning angle.
[0122] In one possible embodiment, the multi-optical-path integrated concentration is achieved via a drone subsystem (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson AGX). The UAV's position and attitude data (e.g., UAV altitude and scanning angle) (GPS / INS) and meteorological data are used to modify the Lambert-Beer law in the above embodiments as follows: , The atmospheric attenuation coefficient (e.g., fog, rain) affects the laser beam. Based on the modified Lambert-Beer law, the second intensity attenuation data is determined.

Evidence of drone leakage was determined based on the drone's concentration field using the drone subsystem. (For example, if the concentration gradient exceeds a preset concentration gradient threshold or the concentration change rate exceeds a preset concentration change rate threshold), and upload the drone evidence to the cloud for global fusion processing through the cloud fusion platform.
[0125] In one possible embodiment, after the local subsystem obtains the first light intensity attenuation data, the flow rate data during off-peak hours, and the discrete pressure sensor data for the target area, it determines laser evidence, flow rate evidence, and pressure evidence based on the first light intensity attenuation data, the flow rate data during off-peak hours, and the discrete pressure sensor data for the target area, and generates local leakage evidence based on the laser evidence, flow rate evidence, and pressure evidence. And upload it to the cloud-based fusion platform.
[0126] In one possible embodiment, drone leakage evidence and local leakage evidence are synthesized using a cloud-based fusion platform based on Dempster rules to obtain the global leakage confidence score for the target area, where the global leakage confidence score = .
[0127] This embodiment enables UAVs to collect data by activating the UAV extension unit in complex terrain, thereby generating a UAV concentration field. Based on the UAV concentration field, data fusion is performed with laser evidence, pressure evidence, and flow evidence to generate a global confidence score. This achieves air-ground collaboration, effectively expands the detection range, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.
[0128] This embodiment enables UAV data collection when the target area is a pre-defined complex terrain. Based on the flight altitude and field of view, the scanning width is calculated, and a set of obstacle avoidance routes is generated to ensure that the UAV scanning area covers the aforementioned pre-defined complex terrain, reduce detection blind spots, avoid obstacles in the target area, and improve the accuracy and reliability of detection results.
[0129] Optionally, when the global leakage confidence exceeds a preset threshold, the leakage point location corresponding to the global leakage confidence in the target area is obtained by determining the spatial intersection of the leakage point location indicated by the drone leakage evidence and the leakage point locations indicated by the laser evidence, flow evidence, and pressure evidence.
[0130] In one possible embodiment, if the global leak confidence level calculated by the data fusion unit exceeds a preset threshold (e.g., 0.95), an alarm notification is output, and the leak point location corresponding to the local leak confidence level is obtained by weighted averaging the leak evidence from the drone, the laser scanning point location corresponding to the laser concentration field, the gas meter location corresponding to the abnormal flow data, and the pressure sensor location corresponding to the low pressure topology data. .
[0131] This embodiment locates the global leak point by combining and complementing air-to-ground data through the spatial intersection of UAV leak evidence with laser evidence, flow evidence, and pressure evidence. This eliminates the positioning bias of a single data source, enables precise location of the leak point in complex terrain, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.
