[0017] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] The present invention provides a flood detection method based on computer vision technology, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a data acquisition module, a data processing module, a three-dimensional modeling module, a data analysis module and a computer terminal; like Figure 2 As shown, the flood detection method based on computer vision technology specifically includes the following steps: S1, data acquisition module collects hydrological information, meteorological data, image information and dam status data; In a more specific application of the present invention, the data acquisition module collects hydrological data, meteorological data, multi-angle images of the dam and structural displacement in real time through a water level meter, a current meter, a weather station, a camera and an earth pressure sensor; Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the hydrological data includes real-time water level and flow rate; the meteorological data includes precipitation and wind speed; the image data is multi-angle images of the water area and dam; and the dam status data includes soil pressure data and structural displacement.

[0019] S2, the data processing module performs preprocessing and image segmentation on the collected information to obtain preprocessed data; Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the collected data is preprocessed and image segmented, and the specific analysis method is as follows: Eliminate environmental interference by filtering image data; Standardize hydrological data to a common dimension; A semantic segmentation algorithm is used on the image data to separate the water area, dam structure and background environment, and to extract pixel-level masks of cracks on the dam surface; In a more specific application of the present invention, the image data is filtered to eliminate environmental interference, and the specific process is as follows: Select the filtering method to remove noise according to the lighting conditions. If it is rainy or foggy, use guided filtering + wavelet threshold denoising; if it is normal weather, use median filtering; The specific process of standardizing hydrological data is as follows: Data cleaning: Eliminate outliers based on the 3σ principle and outlier verification; Missing value filling: fill missing data based on the linear interpolation algorithm of time series; Water level and flow velocity data were normalized using z-score.

[0020] It should be further explained that the specific process of data cleaning is as follows: If the measured value deviates from the historical average data of the same month by more than three standard deviations, it will be marked as suspected abnormal data; Verify the marked suspected abnormal data: If the suspected abnormal data is abnormal water level data, retrieve the data of the adjacent water level meter at the same time for verification. If the difference between the suspected abnormal data and the average value of the adjacent data is less than 0.1m, cancel the mark; otherwise, mark it as abnormal data; If the suspected abnormal data is flow velocity data, retrieve the flow velocity data of the flow meter before and after for verification. If the difference between the suspected abnormal data and the average value of the before and after data is less than 1m / s, cancel the mark; otherwise, mark it as abnormal data; According to the formula Normalize the data, and x in the formula n is the standardized data, x i is the actual data, μ h is the historical mean for the same period, σ h is the historical standard deviation.

[0021] S3, the three-dimensional modeling module establishes a three-dimensional dynamic model of the water area and dam based on the pre-processed data; S4, the data analysis module combines pre-processed data with the three-dimensional dynamic model to analyze the stability of the riverbank and determine the risk level, and finally generates a flood detection report; In a more specific application of the present invention, the analysis of riverbank stability is carried out in the following manner: The dam deformation gradient is obtained by combining the dam structure displacement in the 3D dynamic model; Analyze the crack length, width, expansion rate and direction evolution trend based on the extracted crack mask; Substitute the embankment deformation gradient, crack length, width and expansion rate into the embankment stability coefficient calculation formula to calculate the embankment stability coefficient; The stability of riverbanks is assessed based on the riverbank stability coefficient.

[0022] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the formula for calculating the riverbank stability coefficient is: , where: S c is the stability coefficient, ▽D is the deformation gradient, R c is the crack expansion rate, σ is the compressive strength of the dam matrix, P e is the real-time earth pressure anomaly index, L c is the crack length, W c is the average width, A c is the critical crack area threshold, λ is the material aging coefficient, and K is the geological calibration constant, which is inverted and fitted through historical dam break data.

[0023] It should be further explained that the stability coefficient S c The lower the value, the more dangerous it is; real-time soil pressure anomaly index P e The calculation formula is: e =|P 实时 P 基线 | / P 基线 , in the formula P 实时 is the measured value of earth pressure, P 基线 is the earth pressure baseline value, which is a dynamic reference value for evaluating whether the real-time earth pressure of the embankment is abnormal; the material aging coefficient λ∈[0.2, 0.8], when the embankment material is concrete, λ=0.2, when the embankment material is soil and rock, λ=0.6+; the critical crack area threshold A c Determined by the type of dam. When the dam material is concrete, A c =2.0, when the embankment material is soil and rock, A c =0.5; the calculation formula of the geological calibration constant K is: , where N is the number of historical data, S c(i) is the stability coefficient corresponding to the i-th historical data, ▽D i is the deformation gradient in the i-th historical data, R c(i) The crack propagation rate in the i-th historical data; It should be further explained that the specific method of evaluating the stability of the riverbank is: Using the dam stability benchmark value S cx The stability coefficient S c Normalize to obtain the normalization coefficient S, that is, S=Sc / S cx , S cx Determined based on dry season data in the first year after the dam is completed; When S ≥ 0.9, the structure is considered stable; When 0.7≤S<0.9, it is determined to be a metastable state; When 0.5≤S<0.7, it is determined to be a local unstable state; When S<0.5, it is determined to be in an overall unstable state; If S c If the decline rate is greater than 10% for three consecutive monitoring cycles, the risk level will be automatically raised to a higher level. When a through crack is detected, that is, the crack length is greater than 50% of the dam cross-section width, it will be forcibly judged as a level above the local instability risk level.

[0024] Stability determination calculation example: Parameter settings: Historical data: S c(1) =0.2, ▽D1=0.82, R c(1) =0.018, S c(2) =0.2, ▽D2=0.95, R c(2) =0.025, S c(3) =0.2, ▽D3=1.10, R c(3) =0.032, S cx =4.2, ▽D=0.38, R c =0.004,σ=35,P 实时 =26.5, P 基线 =22,L c =0.8, W c =0.03, A c =0.02,λ=0.25; Calculation process: K=[0.2×0.82×(1+e 0.018 )+0.2×0.95×(1+e 0.025 )+0.2×1.10×(1+e 0.032 )] / 3≈(0.331+0.385+0.447) / 3≈0.39; P e =|26.5 22| / 22=4.5 / 22=0.2045; S c =0.39×ln(1+35 / 0.2045)×[1-0.25×tanh(0.8×0.03 / 0.02)] / [0.38×(1+e 0.004)]=0.39×ln(172.15)×0.7917 / 0.7615≈2.088; S=S c / S cx =2.088 / 4.2≈0.497; Conclusion: The dam is currently in a state of overall instability and requires timely treatment.

[0025] In a more specific application of the present invention, the flood risk level is determined by analyzing the following: Calculate the percentage of real-time water level deviation from the warning value based on the real-time water level and the water level warning value; Calculate the velocity anomaly index based on the real-time velocity and the historical average velocity; Substitute the percentage of real-time water level deviation from the warning value, the velocity anomaly index, and the riverbank stability coefficient into the flood risk coefficient calculation formula to calculate the flood risk coefficient; Assess flood risk level based on flood risk coefficient.

[0026] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the real-time water level deviates from the warning value percentage H r The calculation formula is: r =[(H 实时 H 警戒 ) / H 警戒 ]×100%, where H 实时 is the real-time water level measurement value, H 警戒 The preset value for the warning water level; The flow rate abnormality index V f The calculation formula is: V f =|V 实时 V 平 ∣ / V 平 , in the formula V 实时 is the real-time flow rate measurement value, V 平 is the average value of historical velocity data for the same period; Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the flood risk coefficient calculation formula is: , in the formula R f is the flood risk coefficient, H r is the percentage of real-time water level deviation from the warning value, H c is the critical threshold of water level mutation, P f is the predicted value of cumulative precipitation in the next 3 hours, V f is the velocity anomaly index, S c is the embankment stability coefficient, η, α and β are basin characteristic parameters; F(x) is the hydrodynamic load term.

[0027] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the calculation formula of the hydrodynamic load term F(x) is: ; It should be further explained that the flood risk coefficient R f ∈[0, 1], the higher the value, the greater the risk; the default value of the critical threshold of water level mutation is H c =0.15H 警戒 The initial values ​​of the basin characteristic parameters are set based on the basin type: mountainous rivers: η=1.8, α=2.2, β=1.5; plain rivers: η=1.2, α=1.6, β=2.0; tidal river sections: η=2.5, α=1.8, β=1.2; It should be further explained that the specific method of assessing flood risk is as follows: The current flood risk factor R f When ≤0.3, it is judged as low risk; When 0.3<R≤0.7, it is judged as medium risk; When R>0.7, it is judged as high risk; When a sudden change in the local deformation gradient of the dam is detected or the direction of the crack is orthogonal to the direction of the water flow, the risk level will be automatically increased by one level; Flood risk factor calculation example: Parameter setting: S c =0.5, η=1.2, α=1.6, β=2.0, H c =0.15H 警戒 , H 实时 =45.8, H 警戒 =42, P f =60, V 实时 =3.2, V 平 =1.8; V f =|V 实时 V 平 ∣ / V 平 =(3.2-1.8) / 1.8=0.778; F(P f ·V f )=F(0.778×60)=F(46.68)=0.4+0.6×tanh(0.8×45.68)≈1; H c =0.15×42=6.3%; H r =[(45.8-42) / 42]×100%=9.05%; -η×(H r / H c )α =-1.2×(9.05 / 6.3)≈-1.728; R f =[1-e -1.728 ]×1×e -2×0.5 =0.82×1×0.37≈0.30; Conclusion: The current flood risk coefficient is 0.30, which is at the critical point of medium and low risk. It is necessary to strengthen monitoring and pay attention to development trends.

[0028] S5. The computer terminal outputs an operational three-dimensional dynamic model and flood detection report; Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the generated flood detection report specifically includes the following structured data: Risk situation map: superimpose a real-time risk coefficient heat map on the 3D dynamic model; Key parameter table: time series changes of parameters such as water level / flow velocity / deformation gradient and over-limit marking; Crack evolution report: marking crack location, size change trend and structural safety impact assessment; Early warning recommendations: Propose key inspection areas and engineering disposal measures based on risk levels.
