Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer processing technology, and in particular to a coastal mudflat topography measurement platform and method based on an air-cushioned unmanned surface vessel. Background Technology

[0002] The marine administrative authorities define tidal flats as sea areas below the mean high tide line and above the low tide line, while the land and resources management departments define coastal tidal flats as tidal zones between high and low tide levels. The geographical location of tidal flats determines their dual nature as both water and land. Current technical solutions for coastal tidal flat topographic surveying mainly involve obtaining spatial location information of the land portion of the tidal flat's topography through manual wading surveying or airborne lidar technology, and obtaining underwater topographic information of the sea portion through tide-gauging / non-tide-gauging underwater topographic surveying. Manual wading surveying requires surveyors to carry GNSS positioning receivers and traverse silty and sandy tidal flats on foot, resulting in harsh working conditions and low efficiency. Airborne lidar technology uses small aircraft or drones equipped with lidar equipment, which can acquire point cloud information of the land portion of the tidal flat's spatial location over a large area, but suffers from high equipment costs and the inability of lidar to penetrate tidal flat vegetation. Furthermore, using different platforms and technical solutions for topographic surveying of the land and sea portions can lead to data omissions in the boundary areas and difficulties in finding suitable locations. Summary of the Invention

[0008] S5. When the reflection intensity of the surface point cloud data drops sharply by more than 50%, the depth sounder is automatically triggered to work, and at the same time the navigation controller of the air cushion unmanned surface vessel adjusts its course according to the real-time attitude data.

[0009] S6. Acquire real-time data collected by the binocular vision camera and the millimeter-wave radar on the air cushion unmanned surface vessel to identify obstacles in the direction of travel of the air cushion unmanned surface vessel, classify the obstacles according to height thresholds, and generate detour paths within 0.1s for obstacles that need to be avoided using the dynamic window method.

[0019] If the obstacle height is ≥15cm, the obstacle avoidance path is planned using the dynamic window method with a minimum turning radius of 2m.

[0020] Preferably, the dynamic window method formula in step S6 includes: ,in, , , , For speed, Angular velocity, For the heading alignment function, Let the distance to the obstacle be a function. This is the velocity evaluation function.

[0042] S1. The ground control station generates adaptive survey lines based on the tidal data and historical topography of the target area. The adaptive survey lines include the rules for setting the spacing of laser scanning lines in the land area and the density of acoustic measurement lines in the water area.

[0043] Specifically, the adaptive survey lines are generated by dynamically adjusting the laser scanning line spacing based on the tidal flat slope and vegetation density, and then setting the acoustic survey line spacing according to the measurement scale requirements. The adaptive survey lines also include the generation of spatiotemporally optimized track files (including velocity parameters and equipment start / stop commands). The purpose is to solve the problem of incomplete coverage caused by traditional fixed survey lines, while avoiding the risk of equipment grounding due to sudden tidal changes.

[0044] S2. After receiving the adaptive survey line, the air cushion unmanned surface vessel 1 performs initialization settings for multiple sensors, enabling the air cushion unmanned surface vessel 1 to start multi-sensor initialization GNS so that the attitude sensor 3 completes zero-bias calibration. The lidar 4 and the depth sounder 6 achieve timestamp alignment through a hardware synchronization line, so that the air cushion unmanned surface vessel 1 can start multi-sensor initialization.

When the water depth is ≥0.3m, the single-beam echo sounder 6 emits acoustic pulses at a frequency of 200kHz and simultaneously records the water level elevation provided by the GNSS-RTK module 2 to generate three-dimensional seabed coordinates.

[0051] Specifically, the aforementioned classification of obstacles according to height thresholds (a result of the collaborative operation of the single-beam echo sounder 6 and the forward-looking binocular vision camera 5) includes:

[0052] If the height of the obstacle is less than 15cm, it is considered an obstacle that can be crossed.

[0055] S5. When the reflection intensity of the surface point cloud data drops sharply by more than 50%, the depth sounder 6 is automatically triggered to work, and at the same time the navigation controller of the air cushion unmanned boat 1 adjusts the course according to the real-time attitude data.

[0061] S7. The ground control station performs point cloud denoising, tide level correction, and land-sea data stitching based on the received detour path to generate a digital elevation model of the tidal flats.

[0062] Specifically, the point cloud denoising, tide level correction, and land and sea data processing mentioned above include:

[0063] Point cloud denoising: A radius filtering algorithm is used to remove discrete points with fewer than 20 points within a neighborhood radius of 0.2m;

[0064] Tide level correction: Constructing a water level surface model by integrating tide gauge observations. ,in, To correct the seabed elevation, The distance from the transducer to the seabed measured by depth sounder 6.

[0065] Land-sea stitching: Based on the CGCS2000 coordinate system and millisecond-level timestamps, the laser point cloud and depth sounding data are registered using the ICP algorithm.

[0066] In summary, the multi-sensor spatiotemporal synchronization scheme controls the time alignment error of GNSS, LiDAR, and depth sounder 6 to ≤1ms. Combined with an attitude motion compensation algorithm to eliminate the effects of ship swaying, it improves the accuracy of land point cloud elevation and water depth sounding. Furthermore, this scheme integrates visual and millimeter-wave radar, achieving 0.1s-level path replanning for obstacles ≥15cm in height, supporting maneuvering avoidance with a minimum turning radius of 2m, ensuring safe operation in complex areas with a tidal channel density of 2.3 channels / km. Secondly, the dynamic water level correction model integrates RTK elevation and tide gauge data to eliminate ±15cm water level errors caused by tides, and the radius filtering noise reduction algorithm effectively removes 92% of vegetation interference points. The emergency braking mechanism automatically stops the equipment when the pitch angle is >15°, reducing the failure rate of the equipment in high-salt and high-humidity environments and significantly reducing the risks of field operations.
