Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present specification relates to the technical field of avalanche prediction, in particular to an avalanche dynamic early warning method and system based on an avalanche initiation physical model. BACKGROUND

[0002] As one of the most active and destructive natural disasters in mountainous areas, avalanches, similar to landslides and debris flows, have the characteristics of potentiality and suddenness, and are often difficult to accurately predict. The occurrence of avalanche disasters not only directly threatens local traffic safety, but also can cause serious consequences such as damage to infrastructure, casualties and livestock losses. According to statistics, the direct economic losses caused by avalanches in the world in the past decade have an average annual growth rate of more than 15%, and the misjudgment rate of avalanche early warning in some high-altitude areas is as high as 30% or more, which seriously restricts the efficiency of disaster prevention and mitigation. The accuracy and timeliness of avalanche monitoring are directly related to the reliability of the early warning system, and existing monitoring technologies rely on meteorological data and multi-element time series data generated by physical sensor networks. Such data has the characteristics of high dimension, strong spatio-temporal dependence, and nonlinear dynamic evolution of abnormal patterns, and traditional analysis methods often fail to effectively capture key risk signals, resulting in delayed or misjudged early warnings, which is a weak link in the avalanche disaster prevention and control system.

[0003] The existing Chinese patent, with the name of an avalanche monitoring and early warning method based on deep learning, CN119782772A, includes: obtaining environmental monitoring data in the past period of time and preprocessing, constructing a training data set; constructing an avalanche monitoring and early warning model and training; inputting the forecast data of environmental monitoring into the trained avalanche monitoring and early warning model for data reconstruction, obtaining the corresponding reconstructed data; calculating the data reconstruction error; determining the data anomaly according to the error and the preset threshold, completing the avalanche monitoring and early warning. The present invention solves the problem that the anomaly detection model is difficult to capture key features under high-dimensional and complex dependent data, improves the accuracy and robustness of the anomaly detection model, and is especially suitable for processing multi-element time series data such as avalanche monitoring data, capturing data anomalies in avalanche monitoring data, and realizing avalanche monitoring and early warning.

[0004] The above technology aims to calculate the early warning time of the avalanche by obtaining the avalanche monitoring data, capture key features, and optimize the accuracy of anomaly detection.

Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some examples or embodiments of the present specification, and for those skilled in the art, the present specification can be applied to other similar scenarios without creative labor on the basis of these drawings. Unless it is clear from the language environment or otherwise stated, the same reference numbers in the drawings represent the same structures or operations.

[0031] It should be understood that the "system", "device", "unit" and / or "module" used herein is a method for distinguishing different components, elements, parts, sections or assemblies at different levels. However, if other words can achieve the same purpose, the words can be replaced by other expressions.

[0032] As shown in the specification and claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the words "one", "a", "an", and / or "the" do not refer to the singular, but can also include the plural. Generally speaking, the terms "comprise" and "include" only indicate the inclusion of the steps and elements explicitly identified, and these steps and elements do not constitute an exclusive list, and the method or device can also include other steps or elements.

[0033] Flowcharts are used in the present specification to illustrate the operations performed by the system according to the embodiments of the present specification. It should be understood that the preceding or subsequent operations are not necessarily performed in sequence. On the contrary, each step can be processed in reverse order or simultaneously. At the same time, other operations can be added to these processes, or one or more steps of the operation can be removed from these processes.

[0034] Embodiments:

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 The background parameters include the slope of the rock-soil slope, shear stress, ecological environment, the influence parameters include the shear strength of the ice and snow slope, snowfall, temperature, and the trigger parameters include snowfall, wind, biological activity and accidental factors, wherein the slope of the rock-soil slope, shear stress, temperature, snowfall and wind can be directly obtained through a single data source, the ecological environment, the shear strength of the ice and snow slope, biological activity and accidental factors are calculated through at least one data source, and the background parameters, influence parameters and trigger parameters are all based on the data output by the data source arranged in the snowfield to be measured.

[0036] Slope is the angle between the slope and the horizontal plane, which directly affects the gravity component (downward force). The steeper the slope, the higher the avalanche risk. Slope values ​​for slope areas are extracted using GIS software using digital terrain models (DTMs) or LiDAR data. Risk levels are categorized by slope gradient: <25° is low risk (snowpack tends to stabilize); 25° to 45° is medium-to-high risk (typical avalanche-prone slopes); and >45° is extremely high risk (slopes prone to avalanches).

[0037] Shear stress is the tangential stress in the rock mass of a slope along a potential sliding surface. When shear stress exceeds the shear strength, it can trigger a landslide or avalanche (by triggering snowpack instability). Embedding stress gauges (such as vibrating wire sensors) on potential sliding surfaces directly measures shear stress changes in real time.

[0038] The ecological environment indirectly affects avalanche risk through vegetation coverage, root anchorage capacity, terrain roughness, etc.

[0039] Vegetation snow-fixing capacity: Calculate vegetation cover (VFC) using UAV multispectral imagery or ground surveys, using pixel dichotomy to estimate:

[0040]

[0041] Impact of vegetation type: Coniferous forests (such as pine trees) have better branches and snow-retention capabilities than grasslands or shrubs.

[0042] Terrain roughness: Use DEM to calculate surface roughness index (such as standard deviation, coefficient of variation). The higher the roughness, the more stable the snowpack.

[0043] Shear strength is the ultimate stress at which snowpack resists shear failure and is closely related to the snow layer's structure, temperature, and humidity. Regional snowfall is estimated using microwave radiometers (such as AMSR-E) or radar (such as spaceborne SAR). Embedded temperature sensors (such as thermocouples) measure temperatures at different depths in the snow layer. A greater gradient (e.g., surface temperature > deep temperature) increases the likelihood of a weak layer (such as molasses snow) forming, reducing shear strength.

[0044] Biological activity includes field surveys to measure the density of animal activity traces, assess disturbances to the snow structure (e.g., rodent burrows may become avalanche triggers), and calculate root volume density using ground penetrating radar (GPR) or root excavation methods. The denser the root system, the greater the snow-fixing capacity.

[0045] Random factors include human activities, which are used to record the frequency of skiers, climbers, etc. entering high-risk areas, statistics through GPS tracks or surveillance cameras, and earthquake magnitudes obtained using earthquake monitoring networks ( M ) and epicentral distance ( R ), the probability of triggering an avalanche is estimated by the empirical formula: ,( a , b , c For area fitting parameters).

[0046] The physical model in this embodiment is constructed as follows: ARI =∑( wi × xi ),( wi is the weight, xi is the normalized index value). For example, slope accounts for 30%, shear strength accounts for 25%, snowfall accounts for 20%, etc. A multi-level model is obtained by stacking random forests, neural networks, etc.

[0047] The specific monitoring devices used in this embodiment are shown in Table 1,

[0048] Table 1 Partial monitoring device types

[0049]

[0050] It is worth noting that please refer to Figure 2 , due to the existence of multiple same weather data, repeated application in different parameters, interference data including not in line with the majority of the collected data (such as Figure 2 CG1-CG6) calculated weather trend, the collected data is based on various types of weather sensor to obtain data, based on the type of weather obtained, the collected data is classified by source, the majority of the collected data refers to at least three quarters of all source data under the same weather type. The difference data is marked based on three types of parameters of the collection parameters, when one parameter is different from the other two types of parameters, the difference row calibration is performed, including manually selecting or excluding the difference parameter, when the difference parameter is selected, the other two types of parameters are excluded.

[0051] In summary, the various types of collected data of the snowfield to be monitored are classified and divided into three major parameters in this embodiment, which are used as training parameters for constructing a physical model, and the various levels of the physical model are optimized to obtain a time and range of snow avalanche that can be accurately output.
