Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of molecular communication, and in particular to a method for underwater search and positioning of a wrecked ship, a corresponding device, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art
[0002] Due to the dynamic and uncertain nature of the ocean environment, underwater target search and positioning are technically demanding. Acoustic communication remains the primary technology for underwater positioning due to its ability to transmit signals over long distances. However, acoustic waves suffer from severe energy attenuation, multipath propagation, and limited signal duration. Especially in deep-sea environments, signal synchronization is difficult to achieve and power resources are limited. Given these limitations, molecular communication has been developed as a bio-inspired and energy-efficient alternative for communication and sensing.
[0003] After sinking, a shipwreck often faces power shortages, such as battery depletion and equipment damage. Traditional acoustic communications rely on actively transmitting acoustic signals, which consumes a lot of energy. If the power is insufficient, the signal will be interrupted, shortening the search window. Furthermore, the dynamic nature of the ocean environment (such as water currents and temperature fluctuations) and uncertainties (such as high pressure and turbid water in the deep sea) can seriously interfere with acoustic signals. Sound waves are susceptible to energy attenuation, resulting in weak signals after long-distance propagation. Furthermore, acoustic signals reflect off the water, generating interfering multipath propagation, leading to large positioning errors or even signal loss. This problem is particularly prominent in the deep sea.
[0004] To sum up, in order to adapt to the problems in the existing technology where traditional acoustic communication relies on active emission of sound wave signals, which has high energy consumption, and once the power is insufficient, the signal will be interrupted, resulting in a shortened search window, and sound waves are easily affected by energy attenuation and multipath propagation, resulting in large positioning errors or even signal loss, the applicant has made corresponding explorations to solve these problems.

[0032] A device for underwater searching and locating a wrecked ship provided for another purpose of the present application comprises:
[0033] a molecular concentration calculation module configured to determine a chemical molecule concentration distribution field formed by chemical molecules released underwater by a wreck to be searched that is equipped with a chemical emitter, and to calculate, based on a preset Fick diffusion model, a hit probability density and a chemical molecule concentration of chemical molecules in the chemical molecule concentration distribution field at each position point within a preset spatial range at different times, wherein the greater the distance between the position point and the wreck to be searched, the smaller the corresponding chemical molecule concentration;
[0034] a second search point determination module, configured to include an underwater autonomous vehicle equipped with a high-precision molecular concentration sensor moving vertically downward to the bottom of the to-be-searched area to determine an initial search position point, randomly selecting any search direction angle as a first search direction angle of the initial search position point, searching according to the first search direction angle and a preset first search step length to determine the first search position point, and adding a preset turning angle to the first search direction angle as a second search direction angle to continue searching to determine the second search position point;

[0037] An electronic device provided to meet another purpose of the present application includes a central processing unit and a memory, wherein the central processing unit is used to call and run a computer program stored in the memory to execute the steps of the underwater search and positioning method for a wrecked ship described in the present application.
[0038] A computer-readable storage medium is provided to meet another purpose of the present application, which stores a computer program implemented according to the underwater search and positioning method for a wrecked ship in the form of computer-readable instructions. When the computer program is called and executed by a computer, the steps included in the corresponding method are executed.
[0039] Compared with the existing technology, this application addresses the problems in the existing technology that traditional acoustic communication relies on active transmission of sound wave signals, which has high energy consumption. Once the power is insufficient, the signal will be interrupted, resulting in a shortened search window, and the sound waves are easily affected by energy attenuation and multipath propagation, resulting in large positioning errors or even signal loss. This application includes but is not limited to the following beneficial effects:
[0040] First, in molecular communication, chemical transmitters installed on wrecked ships can be designed with low power consumption. Even in low-power situations, they can still release molecules for a long time, forming a stable concentration distribution field. This means that wrecked ships can still be found by underwater autonomous vehicles by tracking molecular concentration gradients for days or even weeks after sinking, significantly extending the time it can be detected and improving the chances of search and rescue.
[0041] Second, molecular communication relies on the diffusion and convection of chemical molecules to form concentration gradients, and its propagation patterns are more closely aligned with the physical properties of the underwater environment: while the molecular concentration field slowly diffuses over time, its overall distribution is relatively stable (and predictably affected by water currents), and the concentration gradient, characterized by its "higher near, lower far" characteristic (the closer to the wreck, the higher the concentration), has a clear directionality. AUVs use high-precision sensors to capture these gradient variations, enabling stable tracking even in complex environments, reducing search failures caused by signal interference and improving the reliability of locating the wrecked vessel.
[0042] Third, traditional acoustic positioning requires that the acoustic transmitter of the wrecked ship remain intact (such as the antenna, power supply, and signal processing module are working properly), otherwise no signal can be transmitted. However, the wrecked ship may suffer a violent collision during the sinking process, causing damage to the acoustic equipment and directly losing the ability to be detected. The core of molecular communication is "chemical molecule release", and its transmitter structure can be designed to be simpler and stronger, such as a sealed chemical storage tank, which releases molecules through passive penetration or simple mechanical structures, and has low dependence on equipment integrity. Even if the ship is damaged, as long as the chemical transmitter is not completely destroyed, it can continue to release molecules, providing a signal source for the search and increasing the possibility of the wrecked ship being discovered.
[0043] Fourthly, if a wrecked ship sinks in the deep sea, molecular communication can form a concentration field spanning a large range through the continuous release of chemical molecules. Even in a deep-sea environment with weak signals, underwater autonomous vehicles can still gradually approach the target by searching against the concentration gradient, breaking through the bottleneck of traditional acoustic technology in deep-sea search and rescue.
[0044] Furthermore, molecular communication, with its advantages of low power consumption, high stability, and strong environmental adaptability, effectively makes up for the shortcomings of acoustic communication in the search and rescue of wrecked ships, greatly extends the detectable time of wrecked ships, improves the positioning accuracy in complex environments, and ultimately significantly increases the probability of successful search and rescue. It has important practical value for the search and rescue of wrecked ships. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0089] Specifically, the chemical molecule concentration difference between the current search position point and the previous search position point of the underwater autonomous vehicle is calculated and determined, wherein the calculation formula of the chemical molecule concentration difference between the current search position point and the previous search position point of the underwater autonomous vehicle is expressed as:
[0090] ΔC=C n-1 -C n-2 ,
[0091] Among them, C n-1 represents the concentration of chemical molecules at the current search location of the underwater autonomous vehicle; C n-2 represents the chemical molecule concentration at the last search position of the underwater autonomous vehicle; ΔC represents the difference in chemical molecule concentration between the current search position of the underwater autonomous vehicle and the last search position.
[0092] Furthermore, the subsequent moving direction of the underwater autonomous vehicle is determined based on the difference in chemical molecule concentration between the current search position point and the previous search position point of the underwater autonomous vehicle, as well as the previous turning direction of the underwater autonomous vehicle, and the expression is:
[0093]
[0094] Among them, θ nIndicates the search direction angle of the current search position; prev_turn indicates the turn of the underwater autonomous vehicle at the previous search position n-1, where "-" indicates that the turn of the underwater autonomous vehicle at the previous search position n-1 is clockwise; "+" indicates that the turn of the underwater autonomous vehicle at the previous search position n-1 is counterclockwise; this stage ends when the underwater autonomous vehicle finds the wrecked ship or falls into the zero gradient concentration area.
[0095] In a further embodiment, the step of updating the second search position point according to the third search direction angle based on a preset position calculation formula to determine the third search position point includes:
[0096] Step S3001: Obtain the position coordinates corresponding to the second search position point, the third search direction angle, and the preset first search step length;
[0097] Step S3002: Calculate and determine the first product between the preset first search step and the displacement components in each direction of the third search direction angle, and determine the third search position point based on the first sum of the first product and the position coordinates corresponding to the second search position point, wherein the displacement components in each direction include the displacement component in the horizontal axis direction, the displacement component in the vertical axis direction, and the displacement component in the vertical axis direction, the displacement component in the horizontal axis direction is the cosine value of the third search direction angle, the displacement component in the vertical axis direction is the sine value of the third search direction angle, and the displacement component in the vertical axis direction is zero.
[0098] The preset position calculation formula is expressed as:
[0099]
[0100] Among them, P current represents the position coordinates corresponding to the current search position of the underwater autonomous vehicle; P new represents the position coordinates of the next search position point corresponding to the current search position point of the underwater autonomous vehicle; the corresponding position coordinates; cos(θ n ) is the cosine value of the search direction angle of the current search position point, which represents the displacement component in the horizontal axis direction; sin(θ n ) represents the sine value of the search direction angle of the current search position point, which represents the displacement component in the longitudinal direction; the displacement component in the vertical direction is zero; l represents the search step length, which can be 50 meters or 100 meters, etc. Those skilled in the art can determine the value of the search step length as needed according to the actual business scenario, and no limitation is made here.
[0101] Step S40: The underwater autonomous vehicle updates the third search position point based on the position calculation formula until the difference between the chemical molecule concentration detected by the underwater autonomous vehicle at the current search position point and the chemical molecule concentration at a certain position point within the preset spatial range in the chemical molecule concentration distribution field is less than a preset concentration threshold, and then determines that the underwater autonomous vehicle has approached the wreck to be searched, thereby completing the search and positioning of the underwater wreck.
[0102] The underwater autonomous vehicle determines the third search direction angle based on the chemical molecule concentration difference between the second search position point and the first search position point and the second search direction angle, continues searching at the second search position point according to the third search direction angle and the preset first search step, and updates the second search position point according to the third search direction angle based on a preset position calculation formula to determine the third search position point. The underwater autonomous vehicle updates the third search position point based on the position calculation formula until the difference between the chemical molecule concentration detected by the underwater autonomous vehicle at the current search position point and the chemical molecule concentration at a certain position point within a preset spatial range in the chemical molecule concentration distribution field is less than a preset concentration threshold, then it is determined that the underwater autonomous vehicle has approached the wreck to be searched, so as to complete the search and positioning of the underwater wreck. The preset concentration threshold can be determined as needed by those skilled in the art and is not limited here.
[0103] In some embodiments, after the step of updating the third search location point based on the position calculation formula, the underwater autonomous vehicle includes:
[0104] Step S401: If the chemical molecule concentration difference between a certain search position point of the underwater autonomous vehicle and a previous search position point is zero, driving the underwater autonomous vehicle to escape from the zero gradient concentration state;
[0105] Step S402: If the search position point is located at the bottom of the water, the underwater autonomous vehicle is driven to move upward to a preset height; otherwise, the underwater autonomous vehicle is driven to move downward to the preset height. At the same time, the first search step is updated to a preset multiple of the first search step to determine a second search step, and the search for the underwater wrecked ship is continued according to the second search step until the underwater autonomous vehicle escapes from the zero gradient concentration state, wherein the preset height includes 50 meters or 100 meters, the second search step is not less than a preset search step threshold, and the zero gradient concentration state indicates that the difference in chemical molecule concentration between the current search position point and the previous search position point is zero.
[0106] Specifically, once the concentration difference between the current position and the previous position is detected to be zero, the zero gradient concentration state is immediately escaped. Depending on whether the autonomous vehicle is currently at the bottom of the water, it moves in the opposite vertical direction to a preset height h. For example, if it is at the bottom of the water (and cannot continue to move downward), it moves upward by 50 meters or 100 meters;
[0107] If it is not at the bottom of the water, move down 50 or 100 meters. The purpose of this operation is to change the water depth, leaving the current flat area with uniform concentration and try to enter a new space with a concentration gradient.
[0108] The second search step length is determined by updating the original first search step length to a first search step length of a preset multiple α, and the second search step length is limited to not less than a preset search step length threshold τ to avoid inefficient search due to a too small step length. For example, the preset multiple can be 3 or 5 times, and the preset search step length threshold τ can be 30 meters or 50 meters. Those skilled in the art can determine the preset multiple and the preset search step length threshold as needed based on actual needs, and no limitation is made here.
[0109] After completing the vertical movement and step size adjustment, the autonomous vehicle continues to search according to the original inverse concentration gradient search logic with the new step size until it detects that the concentration difference is not zero, that is, it escapes the zero gradient state and resumes the normal inverse concentration gradient tracking mode; until the difference between the chemical molecule concentration detected by the underwater autonomous vehicle at the current search position and the chemical molecule concentration at a certain position point within the preset spatial range in the chemical molecule concentration distribution field is less than the preset concentration threshold, it is determined that it has approached the wreck to be searched, so as to complete the search and positioning of the underwater wreck.
[0110] Compared with the existing technology, this application addresses the problems in the existing technology that traditional acoustic communication relies on active transmission of sound wave signals, which has high energy consumption. Once the power is insufficient, the signal will be interrupted, resulting in a shortened search window, and the sound waves are easily affected by energy attenuation and multipath propagation, resulting in large positioning errors or even signal loss. This application includes but is not limited to the following beneficial effects:
[0111] First, in molecular communication, chemical transmitters installed on wrecked ships can be designed with low power consumption. Even in low-power situations, they can still release molecules for a long time, forming a stable concentration distribution field. This means that wrecked ships can still be found by underwater autonomous vehicles by tracking molecular concentration gradients for days or even weeks after sinking, significantly extending the time it can be detected and improving the chances of search and rescue.
[0112] Second, molecular communication relies on the diffusion and convection of chemical molecules to form concentration gradients, and its propagation patterns are more closely aligned with the physical properties of the underwater environment: while the molecular concentration field slowly diffuses over time, its overall distribution is relatively stable (and predictably affected by water currents), and the concentration gradient, characterized by its "higher near, lower far" characteristic (the closer to the wreck, the higher the concentration), has a clear directionality. AUVs use high-precision sensors to capture these gradient variations, enabling stable tracking even in complex environments, reducing search failures caused by signal interference and improving the reliability of locating the wrecked vessel.
[0113] Third, traditional acoustic positioning requires that the acoustic transmitter of the wrecked ship remain intact (such as the antenna, power supply, and signal processing module are working properly), otherwise no signal can be transmitted. However, the wrecked ship may suffer a violent collision during the sinking process, causing damage to the acoustic equipment and directly losing the ability to be detected. The core of molecular communication is "chemical molecule release", and its transmitter structure can be designed to be simpler and stronger, such as a sealed chemical storage tank, which releases molecules through passive penetration or simple mechanical structures, and has low dependence on equipment integrity. Even if the ship is damaged, as long as the chemical transmitter is not completely destroyed, it can continue to release molecules, providing a signal source for the search and increasing the possibility of the wrecked ship being discovered.
[0114] Fourthly, if a wrecked ship sinks in the deep sea, molecular communication can form a concentration field spanning a large range through the continuous release of chemical molecules. Even in a deep-sea environment with weak signals, underwater autonomous vehicles can still gradually approach the target by searching against the concentration gradient, breaking through the bottleneck of traditional acoustic technology in deep-sea search and rescue.
[0115] Furthermore, molecular communication, with its advantages of low power consumption, high stability, and strong environmental adaptability, effectively makes up for the shortcomings of acoustic communication in the search and rescue of wrecked ships, greatly extends the detectable time of wrecked ships, improves the positioning accuracy in complex environments, and ultimately significantly increases the probability of successful search and rescue. It has important practical value for the search and rescue of wrecked ships.
