TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of geological disaster monitoring and early warning, and particularly relates to a multi-index fusion and dynamic optimization intelligent early warning method for valley-type debris flow disasters. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a sudden, destructive and widely influential geological disaster form, valley-type debris flow mainly occurs in steep valleys, river valleys and other narrow topographies, is often induced by heavy rainfall, snowmelt or sudden geological disturbance, and has obvious stage evolution characteristics of "pregnancy-disaster-occurrence".
[0003] The traditional debris flow early warning method mainly relies on historical monitoring data and expert experience, such as the early rainfall and triggering rainfall criterion method or the unit runoff triggering model, which has the following limitations: strong dependence on a single factor, lack of fusion and utilization of multi-source geophysical indexes (such as soil water content characteristics), weak regional adaptability, high dependence on historical disaster samples, and no cross-regional migration ability; unable to dynamically update, and unable to adapt to the rapid dynamic evolution of debris flow disaster conditions.
[0004] In recent years, with the development of Internet of Things, remote sensing and other technologies, debris flow early warning has begun to introduce various automatic monitoring schemes such as mud water level height monitoring and soil water content monitoring, and has initially realized informationization and data-driven early warning process. However, the existing methods are mostly static experience thresholds or single-factor models, lacking in-depth mining of the correlation mechanism between multi-source data, making it difficult to effectively identify the risk evolution under the joint triggering condition. At the same time, the existing methods lack dynamic updating ability, and cannot optimize the model structure or early warning threshold through real-time data, which cannot guarantee the accuracy and timeliness of the early warning. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a debris flow disaster early warning system that integrates multiple indexes, has real-time updating ability and self-adaptive decision mechanism. SUMMARY
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a multi-index fusion and dynamic optimization intelligent early warning method for valley-type debris flow disasters, which integrates multi-source data such as rainfall, mud water level height and soil water content, constructs a joint distribution model through Copula function, and adjusts the dynamic threshold value by using ROC curve and exceeding probability combination. Finally, the model and threshold value are dynamically updated by combining real-time data acquisition, and the blue, yellow, orange and red four-level warning levels are output, thereby significantly improving the precision, timeliness and engineering applicability of the early warning system.
