[0043] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more clear and easily understood, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present application can be practiced without the specific details given herein, that the present application can be practiced with other than the described embodiments and that variations from the particular embodiments described herein can be made and still be within the scope of the present application.

[0045] Secondly, the "one embodiment" or "embodiment" referred to herein means that the specific features, structures or characteristics can be included in at least one implementation of the present application. The "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in the specification does not mean the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0046] Reference Figs. 1-4 For one embodiment of the present application, the embodiment provides an aerial equipment detection and maintenance method based on target detection, comprising the following steps:

[0047] S1, collect initial multispectral images, and perform geometric distortion correction and illumination normalization processing to generate a corrected image set.

[0048] S1.1, perform time and space synchronization correction on the initial multispectral image set to generate a synchronized image set.

[0049] Specifically, the surface of the aerial equipment is photographed using multispectral imaging to obtain an initial multispectral image set covering multiple wavebands such as visible light and infrared light, wherein the initial multispectral image set contains spatial resolution and spectral resolution information; when performing time synchronization correction on the initial multispectral image set, the initial multispectral images of different wavebands within the same detection period are registered based on timestamp information to make the waveband images consistent in the time dimension, for example, correcting the millisecond-level time deviation to a unified time point; when performing space synchronization correction on the initial multispectral image set, the pixel points of different waveband images are aligned in position using a geometric registration method, and the same physical position in different waveband images is corresponded to a unified coordinate system in all wavebands, for example, the pixel error is controlled at a sub-pixel level through affine transformation or projection transformation method, so as to ensure that the initial multispectral image set is consistent in both time and space dimensions, and a synchronized image set is generated.

[0050] S1.2, perform curved surface geometric correction on the synchronized image set to generate a geometric corrected image set.

[0051] Specifically, the image regions containing the surface feature points of the aerial equipment are selected in the synchronized image set, the surface calibration point coordinates are extracted by an automatic detection method, and the corresponding relationship between the two-dimensional pixel coordinates and the actual spatial three-dimensional coordinates in the synchronized image set is obtained. A mapping relationship between the pixel coordinates and the spatial coordinates is established by using a polynomial surface fitting method, such as generating a transformation matrix by a second-order polynomial fitting. After the mapping relationship is established, the coordinate transformation is performed on each image in the synchronized image set according to the transformation matrix, the distortion region caused by the surface curvature is subjected to pixel resampling and interpolation correction, such as pixel filling by using bilinear interpolation. All the images after the surface geometry correction are unified to the same geometric reference plane to obtain a geometry-corrected image set.

[0052] S1.3, the geometry-corrected image set is subjected to illumination normalization processing, noise suppression and edge texture enhancement to generate a clear feature image set.

[0053] Specifically, the illumination normalization processing is performed on the geometry-corrected image set according to the spectral channel, the homomorphic filtering is used to separate the reflection component and the illumination component by using the logarithmic transformation and the high-low frequency separation, and the local contrast correction is implemented on the brightness channel. The result of the illumination normalization processing is subjected to noise suppression and edge texture enhancement. First, the non-local mean filtering is used to suppress the salt and pepper noise and the random noise, and then the Laplacian operator sharpening or unsharpening mask and the guided filtering are used to improve the edge sharpness and the texture contrast. The color channel consistency correction and the sub-pixel level interpolation sharpening are performed on the enhanced image, and the clear feature image set is output according to the original geometric reference.

[0054] It should be further pointed out that the original geometric reference refers to the reference standard used to describe and constrain the geometry of the part before the aerial equipment image is collected or the part is measured. It usually includes the design size, the shape profile, the key point position and the relative relationship between the parts, which is used for subsequent image correction, spatial positioning and topological analysis, so as to ensure that the measurement data or image features are compared and processed in a unified geometric framework, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of detection and analysis.

[0055] S1.4, the clear feature image set is subjected to multi-angle and multi-spectral information fusion to generate a corrected image set.

[0056] Specifically, multi-angle images and multi-spectral channel images are extracted from the clear feature image set respectively, and coarse registration is realized through affine transformation or projection transformation, and then sub-pixel level fine registration is realized through phase correlation; photometric normalization is performed on the registered multi-angle images and multi-spectral channel images, histogram matching or linear proportion correction is used to make the brightness distribution of different angles and wave bands consistent, and local contrast adjustment is performed through histogram equalization; multi-scale wavelet transform decomposition is performed on the multi-spectral channel images after registration and photometric normalization, principal component analysis (PCA) fusion is performed on the approximation coefficients, and the detail coefficients are combined by weighting according to the local energy and Laplace response, and then inverse transformation reconstruction is performed to obtain a spectral fusion image; at the same time, the local sharpness is calculated by the Laplace operator, and the multi-angle images at the same pixel position are selected and weighted according to the local sharpness index to generate a fusion image; guided filtering is performed on the fusion image to maintain edge consistency, and bilinear interpolation is used for resampling to output a corrected image set.

[0057] S2, input the corrected image set into the pre-trained target detection network, perform multi-scale feature analysis and edge texture recognition, and generate a component detection result.

[0058] S2.1, the pre-trained target detection network is obtained by iteratively training a target detection network according to a diversified image dataset containing components and defects of aviation equipment, and optimizing the weight of the target detection network by using multi-scale feature extraction and edge texture recognition.

[0059] Specifically, a diversified image dataset containing components and defects of aviation equipment is obtained, and each diversified image is labeled, including component bounding box position and defect category information; the diversified image dataset is divided into a training set and a validation set, for example, the training set accounts for 80% and the validation set accounts for 20%; under the supervision learning mode, the training set images are input into the target detection network, the multi-scale feature extraction layer is used to perform convolution operation on the features of different scales of the images, and multi-scale feature maps are obtained; edge texture recognition processing is performed on the multi-scale feature maps, for example, the Sobel operator is used to extract edge information, and the edge features are fused with the convolution features to generate enhanced feature maps; the cross-entropy loss function is used to compare the class probability of the candidate box predicted by the target detection network with the labeled information, and the weight of the target detection network is iteratively adjusted by the stochastic gradient descent; after each iteration, the diversified images in the validation set are input into the target detection network to calculate the validation loss, and the convergence of the target detection network is monitored; the iteration training is repeated until the training rounds are reached, for example, 500 rounds, and a pre-trained target detection network capable of recognizing components and defects of aviation equipment is obtained.

[0060] S2.2, input the corrected image set into the pre-trained target detection network, perform multi-scale feature extraction, and generate a preliminary feature map.

[0061] Specifically, the set of corrected images is input into the input layer of the pre-trained target detection network one by one, and the image size is adjusted to an example resolution, such as 1024x1024 pixels; in the multi-scale feature extraction layer, low-level, middle-level and high-level features are extracted using different convolution kernel sizes and steps to generate corresponding scale feature maps; the scale feature maps are normalized to ensure consistent feature amplitude, and then subjected to nonlinear mapping using an activation function such as ReLU; the scale feature maps are spatially aligned through downsampling or upsampling operations, and local pooling processing is performed on an example window of 3x3 pixels to enhance edge and texture information; the scale feature maps are spliced in the channel dimension to output a preliminary feature map fused in multiple scales.

[0062] It should be noted that the low-level feature map mainly contains local detail information such as edges and textures, the middle-level feature map reflects component shapes, contours and local structure patterns, and the high-level feature map contains semantic information and spatial relationships of overall components, which is helpful for identifying complex components and global features of defects.

[0063] S2.3, edge and texture enhancement processing is performed on the preliminary feature map to generate an enhanced feature map, and position and category recognition is performed on the enhanced feature map to generate a preliminary detection result.

[0064] Specifically, edge detection operations are performed on the preliminary feature map using a convolution kernel such as 3x3 or 5x5, and texture features are extracted in combination with a Laplacian operator to generate an enhanced feature map; the enhanced feature map is input into a candidate box generation network, and a sliding window operation is performed on the two-dimensional plane of the enhanced feature map according to a preset step size, and the area covered by each sliding window is extracted as a candidate region, and a bounding box regression is performed on the candidate region by the candidate box generation network to obtain a component candidate box of the candidate region, and a classification branch (such as a classification head formed by a combination of convolution layers and fully connected layers) in the candidate box generation network is used to distinguish each component candidate box to calculate the corresponding category probability distribution, thereby generating multiple component candidate boxes with category probability distributions on the enhanced feature map; overlapping and redundant candidate boxes are removed by a non-maximum suppression algorithm to retain the candidate box with the maximum confidence; the center coordinates, width and height, and category label of the retained candidate box are output to form a preliminary detection result.

[0065] It should also be noted that the candidate box generation network is a deep learning structure for quickly locating potential target regions in an image, which generates a set of candidate boxes that may contain targets by sliding a preset anchor box or prior box on the preliminary feature map and predicting the existence probability and offset of each box through convolution operations, thereby providing a preliminary region reference for subsequent accurate classification and positioning.

[0066] The preset step length refers to the pixel interval of the sliding window in the horizontal and vertical directions each time. The specific steps are as follows: starting from the upper left corner of the preliminary feature map, the window is moved to cover the entire row according to the horizontal step length, and then moved downward to cover all rows according to the vertical step length, and the process is repeated until the entire preliminary feature map region is traversed. The region corresponding to each window position is extracted as a candidate region, and the upper left corner coordinates of the window are recorded for subsequent candidate box positioning and offset calculation.

[0067] S2.4, using a non-maximum suppression algorithm, removing overlapping redundant candidate boxes from the preliminary detection result to generate a component detection result.

[0068] Specifically, the candidate boxes in the preliminary detection result are grouped by category, and each candidate box is sorted from high to low according to the category probability, for example, the candidate box with the highest probability is placed at the front; the candidate box with the highest probability is selected from the sorted candidate box list as the reference box, and the reference box is added to the component detection result list; the intersection area and the union area of the reference box and the candidate box are obtained by calculating the intersection area and the union area, and the intersection ratio (IoU) is obtained as the overlap index; when the intersection ratio of the candidate box and the reference box is greater than the preset candidate box overlap threshold, the candidate box is removed from the candidate box list, and the candidate box with the intersection ratio lower than the candidate box overlap threshold is retained; repeat the process of selecting the candidate box with the highest probability from the remaining candidate box list as the new reference box, and removing the overlapping redundant candidate boxes in the same way until the candidate box list is empty; all retained candidate boxes and corresponding category probabilities are integrated to generate a component detection result.

[0069] It should be noted that the preset candidate box overlap threshold includes: according to the size characteristics of the aviation equipment components and the detection accuracy requirements, a suitable candidate box overlap threshold is selected in the numerical range of 0.5 to 0.7 of the candidate box overlap threshold, for example, the candidate box overlap threshold is set to 0.6 as an example value, which is used to determine whether the overlap between the candidate boxes needs to be removed, and the preset candidate box overlap threshold is applied in the candidate box screening process of the non-maximum suppression algorithm to remove redundant candidate boxes.

[0070] S3, establishing a component topology relationship according to the component detection result, and using a graph structure analysis method to compare the component topology relationship with a standard configuration to generate topology consistency information.

[0071] S3.1, the standard configuration is obtained by collecting design drawings, three-dimensional models and historical layout data of each component of the aviation equipment, and establishing standard topology relationship between components based on structured analysis.

[0072] Specifically, design drawings, 3D models, and historical layout data of various components of aviation equipment are collected and organized using structured analysis methods. Spatial location, size, connection relationship, and functional association information of each component are extracted. A standard topology table is constructed according to the spatial and functional relationships between components. Each node is labeled to represent each component, and edges represent the connections and functional associations between components, forming a complete standard topology relationship between components. The standard topology table is verified for consistency using a topology consistency verification method to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the weights of each component node and edge, generating a standard configuration.

[0073] S3.2 Extract the candidate box position and category probability of each component from the component detection results, calculate the center coordinates and relative distance of each component as spatial relationships, construct the components as component nodes, construct the spatial relationships and functional associations between components as edges, and establish a preliminary component topology graph.

[0074] Specifically, the candidate bounding box position and class probability of each part are extracted from the part detection results, using the coordinates of the top-left corner of the candidate bounding box. and the coordinates of the bottom right corner The coordinates of the candidate box center are calculated using the following expression:

[0075] ;

[0076] in, Indicates the center coordinates of the candidate box. This indicates that the top left corner of the candidate box is horizontal. Pixel coordinates of direction This indicates that the top left corner of the candidate box is vertical. Pixel coordinates of direction This indicates that the bottom right corner of the candidate box is horizontal. Pixel coordinates of direction This indicates that the bottom right corner of the candidate box is vertical. Pixel coordinates of direction Indicates that the center of the candidate box is horizontal. Pixel coordinates of direction This indicates that the center of the candidate box is vertical. Pixel coordinates of the direction;

[0077] The relative positional relationship between components is calculated using the Euclidean distance method, expressed as follows:

[0078] ;

[0079] in, Indicates the first The component node and the first The relative positional relationships between the components Indicates the first The center of each component node is horizontal Directional coordinates Indicates the first The center of each component node is vertical Directional coordinates Indicates the first The center of each component node is horizontal Directional coordinates Indicates the first The center of each component node is vertical Directional coordinates Indicates the index of the component node;

[0080] Each component is constructed as an independent component node based on the candidate box position, category probability, and size information. Edges between components are constructed based on the Euclidean distance calculation results and functional association information, and the weight of the edges is represented by the inverse distance ratio. By traversing all component nodes, the feature vectors of component nodes are calculated in turn, and the edge weights are generated by combining the Euclidean distance between component nodes and the functional association information. Feature encoding and normalization processing are performed on all component nodes and edges to form a complete preliminary component topology graph.

[0081] S3.3. Encode node features and calculate edge weights for the preliminary component topology map, quantify the spatial relationships and functional associations between components, and generate an encoded topology map.

[0082] Specifically, for each component node in the preliminary component topology graph, the spatial coordinates, candidate box category probabilities, and component size of the component node are extracted as component node feature vectors, and the component node feature vectors are normalized. The Euclidean distance between nodes is calculated based on the center coordinates of the component nodes. The Euclidean distance is combined with the category probability and functional association weights, and the edge weights are calculated according to the weighted method. The Euclidean distance weight is normalized by the reciprocal of the distance between component nodes, the category similarity weight is calculated by the intersection of probability distributions, and the functional association weight is assigned according to the adjacency relationship of the standard configuration. The component node feature vectors and edge weights are combined to generate the coded topology graph.

[0083] S3.4. Perform graph matching comparison between the encoded topology graph and the standard configuration, calculate the matching degree of nodes and edges through a similarity measurement algorithm, and generate a topology consistency index.

[0084] Specifically, the encoding topology graph is matched with the component nodes and edges in the standard configuration one by one, the spatial position similarity of each component node is calculated, and the Euclidean distance of the center coordinates of the component nodes is normalized; the class matching degree is obtained according to the intersection of the candidate box class probability distribution; the edges between the component nodes are matched, and the edge matching degree is calculated according to the spatial relationship and functional association weight of the connected component nodes; the component node matching degree and the edge matching degree are combined according to the weighted method to obtain the matching score of each pair of encoding topology graph and standard configuration; and the matching scores of all component nodes and edges are summarized to generate the topology consistency index.

[0085] S3.5, analyze the abnormal relationship of each component by using the topology consistency index, mark the components with displacement, missing and incorrect installation, and generate the topology consistency information.

[0086] Specifically, according to the topology consistency index, the matching score of each component node is analyzed, the spatial deviation between the center coordinates of the component node and the center coordinates of the standard configuration node is calculated by using the Euclidean distance method, the position deviation of the component node is obtained, the Euclidean distance between the center coordinates of the component node and the standard configuration node is calculated, and when the Euclidean distance is greater than the position deviation, the component is marked as a displacement anomaly; the component nodes in the encoding topology graph are compared with the standard configuration nodes, and when the component nodes in the encoding topology graph cannot be matched with the standard configuration nodes, the component is marked as a missing anomaly; when the class similarity is less than the class matching position deviation during the class similarity calculation of the matched component nodes, the component is marked as an incorrect installation anomaly; and the marking results of the displacement anomaly, the missing anomaly and the incorrect installation anomaly are summarized to generate the topology consistency information.

[0087] It should be noted that, on the basis of the component detection result, the topology relationship modeling is combined, and the established component topology relationship is compared with the standard configuration through the graph structure analysis method to generate the topology consistency information, which extends the traditional target detection from "single component recognition" to "overall modeling of spatial position and assembly relationship between components"; by establishing a quantifiable component topology structure and comparing it with the standard configuration, not only single-point defects can be recognized, but also assembly deviations and correlation anomalies between components can be found, which realizes a breakthrough from local detection to overall assembly consistency analysis, and effectively improves the accuracy and integrity of the detection.

[0088] S4, defect positioning and quantitative analysis are performed on the topology consistency information, the defect position, the defect type and the defect quantitative index are extracted, and the defect quantitative index is tracked along the time extension trajectory through the difference between consecutive time frames to generate the defect parameters.

[0089] S4.1, identify the abnormal component area according to the topology consistency information, extract the bounding box and key points of each abnormal component, and generate the defect position.

[0090] Specifically, according to the components marked as abnormal in the topological consistency information, the component node identification, center coordinates, category information and time index of the abnormal components are read, and the region determined by the candidate box position and the category probability in the component detection result is taken as the initial bounding box after locating the corresponding image in the correction image set according to the time index; Canny edge detection is performed in the initial bounding box, and morphological closing operation and opening operation are performed to connect broken edges and remove isolated noise (for example, the size of the structural element is 3x3 pixels), and then connected component analysis is performed to extract the largest connected component, and the bounding box is updated according to the minimum bounding rectangle or the rotated bounding rectangle; candidate key points are obtained by using Harris corner detection in the updated bounding box, and the candidate key point coordinates are refined by using a sub-pixel corner refinement method; the candidate key point coordinates are filtered according to the response intensity threshold and the minimum distance to obtain a stable key point set; the coordinates of the four corners of the updated bounding box and the stable key point set are recorded one by one according to the abnormal components, and the output is the defect position.

[0091] It should also be noted that the response intensity threshold is obtained by sorting the response intensities of the candidate key points of the abnormal components, and selecting a quantile interval as the threshold range, for example, setting the response intensity threshold to the interval from the top 20% to the top 40% of the response intensity values of the candidate key points, which is used to retain more prominent candidate key points; the minimum distance is obtained by setting a pixel-level range according to the structural size characteristics of the aviation equipment components and the image resolution, for example, setting the minimum distance to an example interval of 3 to 8 pixels, which is used to avoid excessive concentration of candidate key points; the specific filtering method is to arrange the candidate key points in descending order of response intensity, and only retain the candidate key points with response intensity greater than the response intensity threshold, and then compare the coordinates one by one in the retained candidate key point set, and for any two candidate key points with a Euclidean distance less than the minimum distance, only the candidate key point with higher response intensity is retained.
