BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0021] Figure 1 An application environment architecture diagram of an edge computing supported unmanned aerial vehicle environment monitoring and data processing method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.
[0023] The present application mainly relates to the cross technical field of edge computing, Internet of Things and environment monitoring, specifically including unmanned aerial vehicle intelligent collaborative perception, edge side data processing and compression method, and multi-source information fusion and real-time response mechanism in complex environment. These technologies not only represent the research hotspot of current environment perception system, but also constitute the key supporting technology in the actual scene of smart city, ecological monitoring and disaster response.
[0024] Edge computing (Edge Computing) is an architecture that sinks computing resources and data processing capabilities to data sources (such as sensors or unmanned aerial vehicle platforms), aiming to reduce network transmission delay, reduce bandwidth consumption and improve system real-time processing capability. The present application significantly improves the response efficiency and task autonomy of the system to dynamic environmental changes by deploying computing tasks on the unmanned aerial vehicle body or edge node, providing a low-latency, high-efficiency solution for wide-area environment monitoring scenarios.
[0025] Internet of Things (Internet of Things, IoT) technology is a basic infrastructure system that realizes device interconnection and data collaborative sharing, and forms a dynamic perception and efficient communication task coordination system by building a heterogeneous network architecture between unmanned aerial vehicles, edge nodes and ground control platforms. In the present application, the IoT architecture supports unmanned aerial vehicle task scheduling and multi-source data fusion in a distributed multi-node environment, providing technical support for high spatio-temporal coverage and device linkage in environmental monitoring.
[0026] Environmental monitoring technology (Environmental Monitoring Technology) aims to observe and analyze air, water, land and weather elements in natural or man-made environments for a long time, continuously and with high precision. The present application takes unmanned aerial vehicles as the core platform, realizes fine collection of parameters such as pollutants, temperature and humidity, thermal radiation by integrating multi-modal sensors, and improves the recognition accuracy and monitoring robustness of key environmental change events by combining edge side data preprocessing and intelligent judgment mechanism.
[0027] Intelligent Cooperative Perception for UAVs (ICP) is one of the core innovative modules proposed in this paper. This technology leverages the DroEdge-EMS architecture to build an aerial distributed perception network using wireless short-range communication protocols (such as MAVLink) and a dynamic task allocation mechanism among multiple UAVs. The system supports real-time sharing of compressed sensing features and location information collected by each node, and combines it with lightweight inference models (such as the TinyML module) on edge nodes to perform joint analysis and event judgment on local areas. For example, when PM2.5 values in a particular area are continuously abnormal, adjacent UAVs can trigger a collaborative "hotspot detection" mechanism, automatically adjusting their flight paths to increase coverage density, confirming local risks, and performing additional sampling tasks, thereby enabling rapid event response without relying on a central control node. This mechanism significantly improves environmental change perception and system robustness in complex terrain or signal-blind areas.
[0028] Edge-side data processing mechanisms are crucial for improving real-time performance and resource efficiency. To address the challenges of large amounts of data collected by drones and limited communication resources, this paper proposes an edge processing module that integrates compression encoding, feature extraction, and task-specific filtering. This module performs preliminary data filtering and encoding on the node side, effectively reducing communication overhead while preserving core information and improving the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent detection algorithms.
[0029] like Figure 1 FIG. 1 is an application environment architecture diagram of a method for drone environment monitoring and data processing supported by edge computing provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the method includes: The time series data stream collected by multi-source environmental perception devices is obtained, and it is compressed and processed based on the linear projection compression model to obtain the compressed feature vector.
[0030] In this step, the perception portal of the present invention is composed of a lightweight aggregator module deployed on the drone or adjacent edge node. Its core task is to significantly reduce the communication cost and energy consumption of the original environmental data during wireless transmission without sacrificing the ability to express key features. The lightweight aggregator module receives data from the onboard temperature sensor (Temperature, )、Air Quality Detector(Air Quality, )、Humidity sensor(Humidity, ) multi-source environmental perception devices, and represents them as column vectors:
[0031] is the state vector at time , representing the multi-source environmental information collected by different sensors at that time, is the temperature detected by the on-board temperature sensor at time is the air quality value detected by the air quality detector at time is the humidity detected by the humidity sensor at time represents a three-row one-column real vector.
[0032] To achieve efficient data compression and processing on edge devices, the system introduces a linear projection compression model based on TinyML architecture, whose transformation relationship is defined as:
[0033] is the projection matrix, which is 2 rows and 3 columns, compressing the input 3-dimensional feature into 2-dimensional feature , performing linear feature transformation on , and is the bias vector, which is 2 rows and 1 column, generating the compressed feature vector for subsequent edge collaborative tasks, represents the compressed feature vector, which is 2 rows and 1 column.
[0034] This transformation projects the three-dimensional original perception vector into a low-dimensional latent space, generating the compressed feature vector for subsequent edge collaborative tasks. To ensure the balance between model expression ability and compactness, the matrix can be structurally compressed and optimized through QR decomposition or singular value decomposition (SVD), etc., so that the compression operation has low computational overhead while maintaining information recognition, suitable for low-power micro control unit (MCU) operating environment. This formula projects the original 3 features (temperature, air quality, humidity) through linear projection to get 2-dimensional features, which are used for subsequent edge collaborative computing (such as task allocation or target recognition).
[0035] The communication cost is calculated based on the current heterogeneous network conditions and energy constraints through a pre-set communication cost function.
[0036] In this step, the communication and state fusion phase is entered, i.e., the UAV-edge collaboration subsystem, which is the core intermediate layer of DroEdge-EMS, is responsible for intelligent scheduling of data backhaul decision and collaborative prediction of multi-source state information. For heterogeneous network conditions and energy constraints, the system introduces a communication cost function:
[0037] wherein, represents the congestion coefficient of the current channel (estimated by packet loss rate, delay, etc.), represents the remaining energy level of the current UAV, , is the weighted coefficient for regulating network load and energy consumption balance. This function is embedded into the backhaul strategy scheduler as an optimization objective for intelligent decision-making on whether to perform data reporting, thereby ensuring information freshness while extending flight endurance and system life cycle.
[0038] When the communication cost is higher than the preset value, the cloud reporting process of the compressed feature vector is performed to the cloud platform, the monitoring task instruction is generated through the cloud platform, and the linear projection compression model is trained and parameter updated.
[0039] In this step, to realize intelligent control of the communication scheduling strategy, the system sets an adjustable cost threshold parameter When the calculated communication cost , the system triggers the cloud reporting process of the compressed feature. The compressed feature representation is uploaded to the cloud platform or ground control center under the condition of meeting the transmission condition. This platform not only undertakes the centralized management task of feature data, but also serves as a remote intelligent hub of the DroEdge-EMS architecture, which is used to perform multiple key functions.
[0040] Firstly, the platform collects data from different UAV nodes to perform global fusion analysis of cross-regional environmental features, construct spatial distribution models and time series evolution trends, and is used for macroscopic perception in scenarios such as urban pollution monitoring and forest fire situation identification.
[0041] Secondly, the platform supports periodic evaluation and retraining of the edge model. With the support of centralized computing resources, the model is optimized in accuracy, adjusted in parameters, or learned in abnormal features to improve subsequent inference ability.
[0042] Thirdly, based on the fusion analysis results and task scheduling requirements, the cloud can generate dynamic response strategies, updated model parameters or new monitoring task instructions, and send them to the corresponding UAV or edge node through the downlink. This feedback process constitutes a closed-loop mechanism in the DroEdge-EMS system from environmental perception, state uploading, central optimization to local feedback execution, realizing the intelligent regulation and control cycle of "perception-decision-feedback-re-perception", and significantly enhancing the system's task adaptive ability and evolutionary optimization ability in long-term operation.
[0043] When the communication cost is lower than the preset value, the observation vector is generated by the linear projection compression model, the observation matrix is constructed, and it is replaced by the compressed form, and the dynamic event decision engine is used for abnormal detection and response strategy reasoning.
[0044] In this step, if the current communication cost is higher than the threshold value, the data is retained locally, and the edge side state estimation and reasoning path is entered. The threshold can be dynamically adjusted according to the task urgency, historical network performance or flight cycle, so as to balance the scheduling between energy efficiency, delay and monitoring quality.
[0045] At the state estimation level, the DroEdge-EMS system introduces an improved Kalman filter mechanism (KF) suitable for edge compression feature space. Unlike the traditional KF, which estimates on the original high-dimensional sensor data, the system first uses the TinyML module to perform linear compression on the multi-modal observation data on the edge device, generating a lower-dimensional observation vector , and then performs state fusion in this compressed space. This processing paradigm fully embodies the advantage of edge computing "intelligence on site", that is, completing feature compression, state prediction and anomaly identification locally, greatly reducing communication pressure and computational overhead.
[0046] To adapt to the state reasoning requirements of the compressed space, the system replaces the original observation matrix with the compressed form , where is the projection matrix generated by the TinyML compression model. This matrix embeds the information of feature dimension reduction and structure preservation, so that the compressed observation vector can still be effectively mapped to the real state space in the reasoning process, is the original observation matrix, representing the multi-modal, high-dimensional feature set collected by the UAV at the edge side, is the projection matrix generated by the linear projection compression model, used to compress the high-dimensional feature into a low-dimensional feature , is the compressed observation matrix, which is a replacement for The linear dimension reduction result of the feature dimension is smaller but still retains the key features for subsequent reasoning or collaborative tasks.
[0047] The state estimation formula is as follows: ; Wherein: is the compressed observation feature output by the edge node, which is obtained by linear projection transformation of multi-modal perception data, is the observation matrix in the compressed space, is the measurement noise covariance matrix in the compressed observation space, and is the state estimation and covariance before prediction, and is the fused state estimation and covariance, is the Kalman gain, which determines the estimation adjustment amplitude, t is the time index, the current discrete time step, indicates the unmanned aerial vehicle at the time point, is the transpose matrix of .
[0048] The mechanism runs on the edge device with an estimation period of 200ms, supporting real-time state tracking in dynamic environments. With the help of information fusion capability in the compressed space, DroEdge-EMS not only improves the processing performance of the edge node, but also guarantees the accuracy of state estimation under compression constraints, providing efficient intelligent reasoning capability for autonomous monitoring tasks in complex environments.
[0049] The upper layer of the system is a dynamic event decision engine, which constitutes the intelligent control center of the "perception-fusion-response" closed loop in DroEdge-EMS. This module aggregates the state estimation results and their uncertainty representation uploaded by the edge layer, and performs abnormal event detection and response strategy reasoning through a multi-source regularization fusion model. Its modeling form is as follows:
[0050] Wherein, indicates the state estimation output from the th sub-module, is the weight parameter corresponding to each sub-module, is the L2 regularization coefficient, used to suppress the weight overfitting phenomenon, is the inferred occurrence probability result of the abnormal event in environmental monitoring, is the vector composed of all weights, , is the square of the L2 norm of the overall weight vector.
[0051] In terms of emergency response, the module embeds an emergency triggering mechanism based on logical rules. For example, in the air quality anomaly detection task, when the state estimation value exceeds the AQI threshold set by the World Health Organization (WHO) , the system will trigger the following actions:
[0052] This decision logic can be extended to other parameters (such as sudden temperature rise, sudden humidity drop, etc.) and support response strategy configuration, including path re-planning, coordinated node wake-up, and cloud (i.e., cloud platform) task reporting, thereby realizing self-organization, self-repair, and scenario adaptation of unmanned systems.
[0053] In summary, the present application constructs a closed-loop unmanned monitoring system that runs through multi-modal environmental perception, edge computing processing, and intelligent decision reasoning. Its core advantages are reflected in the following aspects: Firstly, the system can complete feature compression and preliminary perception judgment on the edge side (such as the unmanned aerial vehicle body or near-ground edge node), effectively reducing the dependence on the cloud and significantly improving the real-time performance and task autonomy level of the system. Secondly, by integrating a lightweight state estimation mechanism (such as a Kalman filter), DroEdge-EMS still has excellent robustness and prediction accuracy in the face of high dynamic and strong uncertainty environments, ensuring the time series continuity and estimation reliability of key state variables.
[0054] In addition, the communication cost modeling strategy embedded in the system can consider the wireless channel state and energy remaining information to achieve dynamic optimization of communication strategies under resource constraints, thereby prolonging the system task cycle and alleviating the transmission bottleneck. Finally, the introduction of the event-driven mechanism enables the system to have the ability to respond quickly to sudden risk factors. Through dynamic evaluation and threshold triggering judgment of monitoring variables, the system can automatically complete early warning push, task rescheduling, or multi-unmanned aerial vehicle coordinated response when detecting potential environmental anomalies (such as air quality exceeding standards, sudden temperature changes, etc.), demonstrating high intelligence and situational adaptability.
[0055] Overall, the present application takes edge intelligence as the core driver, integrates key mechanisms such as perception compression, state prediction, resource optimization, and event reasoning, and exhibits strong adaptability, scalability, and operational efficiency in complex environmental monitoring tasks. This architecture represents a "end-edge-coordination-reasoning" paradigm in intelligent unmanned systems, providing theoretical support and technical foundation for promoting the intelligence, low power consumption, and high reliability of the next generation of autonomous environmental monitoring systems.
[0056] Compared with the traditional architecture relying on cloud centralized computing, the present application is based on the edge computing paradigm, and the preprocessing and feature compression of multi-modal environment data are completed in the unmanned aerial vehicle body or near-ground edge node, which effectively reduces the data back transmission frequency and bandwidth occupation, and the transmission demand is reduced by about 60% compared with the original scheme. The system realizes local intelligent inference through the embedded TinyML module, significantly reduces the model parameter size and operation energy consumption, and improves the deployment adaptability in the resource limited scene. The traditional architecture usually hands over the event response to the remote server for processing, resulting in high decision delay, while the DroEdge-EMS system integrates state estimation and event identification mechanism, supports real-time response and task scheduling on the unmanned aerial vehicle side, and improves the real-time performance and task continuity of the system. In terms of processing complexity, compared with the large parameter and computationally intensive Transformer model, DroEdge-EMS realizes efficient operation through lightweight structure, is suitable for large-scale deployment and long-term running of intelligent environment monitoring tasks, and has good scalability and task robustness.
[0057] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
