Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bridge detection, and in particular to a bridge detection method and system based on vehicle-mounted UAV cluster cooperative operation. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a key component of traffic infrastructure, the structural health state of a bridge is directly related to traffic safety and transportation efficiency. Therefore, it is crucial to regularly carry out bridge defect detection. With the development of science and technology, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can greatly improve the detection efficiency in the detection of large bridges due to their small size, strong maneuverability, and low-altitude flight characteristics.

[0003] Currently, when detecting defects of a large suspension bridge, the sling, as the main load-bearing structure of the suspension bridge, is often the focus of detection. Therefore, according to the structural characteristics of the sling, the UAV detects the sling by capturing surface images of the sling in a stable shooting posture along the direction of the sling, thereby capturing subtle crack defects of the sling.

[0004] However, the sling of a suspension bridge will vibrate violently under the influence of vehicle traffic, which can cause the images captured by the UAV to be blurred. Therefore, some denoising algorithms are generally used to enhance image features. However, due to unstable traffic on the bridge, the vibration pattern of the sling is complex, which results in unsatisfactory enhancement of image features by the denoising algorithm, and thus reduces the defect detection accuracy of the sling.

[0020] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] The present application provides a bridge detection method of a vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle cluster cooperative operation, which is applied to a vehicle-mounted control system, such as Figure 1As shown, the method comprises steps S101 to S104, which are as follows: S101, obtaining vibration data of a target suspension cable of a suspension bridge.

[0023] In the above step, the vehicle-mounted control system connects the sensing network of the suspension bridge, then reads the real-time detection data of the vibration sensor installed on the target suspension cable, and then pre-processes the real-time detection data to obtain the vibration data of the target suspension cable.

[0024] In an embodiment, the vibration data pit may be affected by electromagnetic interference in the environment, resulting in serious noise interference in the vibration data obtained by the vehicle-mounted control system. Therefore, before analyzing the vibration data, the application calculates the signal-to-noise ratio of the vibration data. If the signal-to-noise ratio of the vibration data is less than a preset signal-to-noise ratio threshold, it means that the reliability of the current vibration data is low. At this time, in order to improve the reliability of the vibration data, the application considers that the vibration of the suspension cable is caused by the load vibration of the vehicle driving on the bridge deck, and its vibration law is closely related to the traffic flow data. Therefore, the application obtains the traffic flow data through the target suspension cable, wherein the traffic flow data includes the traffic composition and the traffic flow. It should be noted that when the vehicle drives on the bridge deck, the load vibration of the vehicle itself will be transmitted to the suspension cable. As the traffic flow on the bridge deck increases, the vibration transmitted to the suspension cable will become stronger. In addition, under the same traffic flow, if the traffic composition is different, the vibration transmitted to the suspension cable will also be different. Then, according to the traffic flow data through the target suspension cable, the vibration data is corrected, wherein the traffic flow data reflects the distribution form of various vibration frequencies in the vibration data. Specifically, the traffic composition in the traffic flow data reflects the vibration frequency composition in the vibration data, and the traffic flow in the traffic flow data reflects the vibration intensity of the vibration frequency. At this time, the traffic flow data can be used to establish a prior model of the suspension cable vibration, and then a matched filter is generated based on the prior model to filter the original vibration data. The noise components that do not match the prior model are filtered out to highlight the true vibration characteristics, thereby improving the reliability of the vibration data.

[0025] S102, according to the vibration data, determining the number of unmanned aerial vehicles for detecting the target suspension cable and the detection strategy of the plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles, the detection strategy including the shooting frequency and the detection speed.

[0026] In the above step, the vibration data is subjected to Fourier transform to obtain the vibration of the target sling in the frequency domain, at this time, a plurality of main frequency components are extracted to obtain a plurality of vibration modes of the target sling, then one unmanned aerial vehicle is assigned for each vibration mode for independent detection of the target sling, and a corresponding detection strategy is configured according to the vibration mode, the detection strategy including shooting frequency and detection speed, thereby splitting the sling image originally fused with multiple vibration interferences into a plurality of sling images of single vibration dimension, so as to reduce the analysis difficulty of subsequent sling defect analysis and improve the analysis accuracy.

[0027] In a possible implementation, in an actual scene, all vibration frequency components of the sling can be theoretically obtained by Fourier transform of the vibration data, however, in addition to strong signal components reflecting main structural vibration, a large number of secondary components with weak energy caused by environmental interference are also included in the vibration spectrum, the secondary components will not have a great impact on the sling vibration, at this time, if the unmanned aerial vehicles are assigned for the secondary components, the unmanned aerial vehicle cluster resources will be greatly wasted, thereby reducing the bridge detection efficiency, therefore, after obtaining a plurality of main frequency components of the vibration data, the energy proportion of each main frequency component in the total energy of the vibration signal is calculated, the energy proportion calculation method of the main frequency component is a conventional technical means in the field, which will not be described here, then the energy proportions of the plurality of main frequency components are compared with a preset energy proportion threshold, if the energy proportion of the main frequency component is greater than or equal to the preset energy proportion threshold, the main frequency component is determined as an effective main frequency component, thereby screening a plurality of effective main frequency components from the plurality of main frequency components, finally, the number of the plurality of effective main frequency components is counted and used as the number of unmanned aerial vehicles dispatched in the target sling defect detection process.

[0028] In a possible implementation, after the vibration data is converted into frequency domain data, different harmonic components may exist in the main frequency components, but these harmonic components actually originate from the same physical vibration mode, at this time, in order to avoid the problem that multiple harmonic components of the same physical vibration mode are assigned multiple unmanned aerial vehicles, thereby causing waste of cluster resources, the application first identifies a plurality of effective main frequency components, then performs modal analysis on the effective main frequency components to determine the vibration mode of the sling corresponding to the main frequency component, wherein the vibration mode includes a plurality of types, for example, first-order bending type, second-order bending type, torsion type, etc., then a clustering algorithm is used to perform clustering analysis by taking the vibration mode and the main frequency as the clustering feature vector and taking the vibration mode consistency and the frequency harmonic as the clustering rule, to obtain a plurality of clustering clusters, wherein the vibration modes of any two clustering feature vectors in the same clustering cluster are consistent, and the main frequencies are the same or integer multiples. Finally, the number of the plurality of clustering clusters is counted and used as the number of unmanned aerial vehicles dispatched in the target sling defect detection process.

[0029] After determining the detection unmanned aerial vehicle for each vibration mode, in order to adapt to the vibration mode, the unmanned aerial vehicle needs to be configured with a corresponding detection strategy, so as to ensure the effectiveness of the unmanned aerial vehicle detection result. Specifically: For the shooting frequency, the application determines the shooting frequency of the unmanned aerial vehicle corresponding to each main frequency component according to the time interval between the antinode point and the node point of each main frequency component. Specifically, the antinode point is the position of the maximum sling vibration displacement, and the node point is the position of the sling vibration displacement of 0. The surface defect of the sling changes most significantly when the sling vibration displacement is maximum. Therefore, the time interval between the antinode point and the node point is used as the time interval of the shooting frequency of the unmanned aerial vehicle, which can effectively capture the sling surface defect, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent defect analysis.

[0030] For the detection speed, the application determines the detection speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle corresponding to each main frequency component according to the vibration period of each main frequency component. Specifically: the essence of sling vibration is periodic deformation along the length direction, and the vibration period of the main frequency component is the time for the sling to complete one complete deformation. During the movement detection of the unmanned aerial vehicle along the length direction of the sling, if the detection speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle is too fast, it may pass through a certain section before the sling completes one vibration period, resulting in that the key mode of the section in vibration is not photographed. If the detection speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle is too slow, the same section will be repeatedly photographed, resulting in a large amount of repeated data. Therefore, the detection speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle is determined according to the vibration period of the main frequency component and the length covered by one vibration period on the sling. For example, if the vibration period T of the main frequency component is 1 second, and the length of the sling covered by the vibration period is 3 meters, the detection speed needs to be controlled at 3 meters / second, so as to completely capture all possible defect deformations within one vibration period.

[0031] S103, after the multiple unmanned aerial vehicles complete the detection according to the respective detection strategies, the detection images of the multiple unmanned aerial vehicles are acquired.

[0032] S104, defect analysis is performed on the multiple detection images to obtain the defect result of the target sling on the suspension bridge.

[0033] In the above steps S103 to S104, after the detection strategies of the multiple unmanned aerial vehicles are determined, the multiple unmanned aerial vehicles are dispatched to completely photograph the images of the target sling along the sling direction. After the photographing task is completed, the multiple unmanned aerial vehicles send the detection images to the vehicle-mounted control system. The vehicle-mounted control system performs defect analysis on the multiple detection images at this time to obtain the defect result of the target sling on the suspension bridge. Specifically: Firstly, structural features of the target sling in the plurality of detection images are extracted, and then the structural features are converted into spatial coordinates of a plurality of structural points on a preset target sling model in a three-dimensional coordinate space. It should be explained that each detection image contains complete structural features of the target sling, and therefore each structural point stores a plurality of spatial coordinates, wherein one spatial coordinate corresponds to one detection image. Then, the plurality of detection images are quality evaluated to obtain respective quality scores of the plurality of detection images. The higher the quality score is, the clearer the structural features of the target sling in the image are, and the higher the reliability is. Therefore, the respective quality scores of the plurality of detection images are normalized to obtain respective fusion weights of the plurality of spatial coordinates of the plurality of structural points. Finally, the plurality of spatial coordinates of each structural point are weighted and fused based on the respective fusion weights of the plurality of spatial coordinates of each structural point, so as to obtain more accurate target spatial coordinates of each structural point. At this time, the target spatial coordinates are more accurate in describing the structural features of the target sling. Therefore, the target spatial coordinates of the plurality of structural points are input into the bridge defect detection model for defect analysis, so as to realize the effect of improving the accuracy of the defect detection result of the target sling on the suspension bridge, wherein the bridge defect detection model is a deep learning network model trained from the correspondence between spatial information and defect information.

[0034] In a possible implementation, when the plurality of detection images are quality evaluated, in order to improve the analysis accuracy of defects, the application first performs defect pre-recognition on the plurality of detection images to obtain defect distribution in the plurality of detection images. Specifically, the spatial coordinates of the plurality of structural points corresponding to each of the plurality of detection images are input into the bridge defect detection model to obtain the defect distribution in the plurality of detection images. Then, the imaging quality of the defect area of the plurality of detection images is evaluated to obtain first quality scores of the plurality of detection images. Then, since the unmanned aerial vehicle may be affected by some instantaneous environmental interference (for example, water droplets, sandstone falling and shielding the sling) when shooting the sling image, these environmental interference may appear as defect features in the image, which may cause misjudgment in subsequent defect analysis. Therefore, the distribution similarity of the defect distribution of the plurality of detection images is calculated to obtain second quality scores of the plurality of detection images, so as to judge the consistency of the defect distribution area in the plurality of detection images. Finally, the first quality scores and the second quality scores of the plurality of detection images are weighted and summed to calculate the quality scores of the plurality of detection images. Since the first quality score directly reflects the imaging clarity and reliability of the defect features, the weight of the first quality score is greater than the weight of the second quality score.

The output module 3 is configured to perform defect analysis on the plurality of detection images to obtain a defect result of the target sling cable of the suspension bridge.

[0036] In a possible implementation, before determining the number of UAVs for detecting the target sling cable and the detection trajectory of the plurality of UAVs according to the vibration data, the method further comprises: calculating a signal-to-noise ratio of the vibration data; when the signal-to-noise ratio of the vibration data is less than a preset signal-to-noise ratio threshold, acquiring vehicle flow data passing through the target sling cable, the vehicle flow data comprising vehicle flow composition and vehicle flow; correcting the vibration data according to the vehicle flow data passing through the target sling cable.
