Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lidar meteorological detection technology, specifically a method for three-dimensional wind field inversion based on a single wind-measuring lidar using deep learning. Background Technology
[0002] As an active remote sensing device, wind lidar detects the backscattering signals of laser light by aerosol particles in the atmosphere and retrieves wind field information. It has advantages such as high spatiotemporal resolution and mobile deployment. Traditional wind field retrieval methods mostly rely on the collaborative observation of multiple lidars or are based on assumptions of physical models, which have problems such as high equipment cost, complex deployment, and retrieval accuracy limited by model assumptions.
[0003] Currently, a single lidar can typically only acquire radial wind speed along the beam direction, making it difficult to directly reconstruct a three-dimensional wind field. Existing technologies often employ methods such as velocity orientation display (VAD) or volumetric velocity processing (VVP) to estimate the three-dimensional wind field by fitting the radial wind speed distribution. However, these methods are highly dependent on the scanning mode, have long observation cycles, and exhibit significant inversion errors in areas with complex wind field structures or sparse data. Furthermore, traditional methods are poorly adaptable to factors such as noise, signal quality variations, and platform motion, and lack intelligent evaluation and fusion mechanisms for data quality, resulting in insufficient reliability of the inversion results in areas with low signal-to-noise ratios or missing data. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for three-dimensional wind field inversion based on a single wind-measuring lidar using deep learning, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a three-dimensional wind field inversion method based on a single wind-measuring lidar using deep learning, comprising the following steps:
[0006] S1. Obtain the raw power spectrum data obtained by scanning and detecting the atmospheric wind field using a single Doppler wind lidar.
[0007] S2. Preprocess the raw power spectrum data to extract observation feature parameters including at least radial wind speed, signal-to-noise ratio, and spectral width;
[0008] S3. Input the observed feature parameters into a pre-trained deep learning wind field inversion model, wherein the deep learning wind field inversion model takes the observed feature parameters as input and outputs a three-dimensional wind vector of three-dimensional spatial grid points with the location of the lidar as the origin.
[0009] S4. Based on the three-dimensional wind vector output by the deep learning wind field inversion model, reconstruct the three-dimensional wind field of the target area.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the deep learning wind field inversion model is a neural network with an encoder-decoder structure, wherein:
[0011] The encoder is used to extract features and spatially encode the input observation feature parameters to form a latent space feature vector containing global wind field information.
[0012] The decoder is used to decode and regress the three-dimensional wind vector of the three-dimensional spatial grid points based on the latent space feature vector.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the deep learning wind field inversion model adopts a multi-scale feature fusion mechanism during training. Specifically, a multi-level convolutional module is introduced into the encoder to extract the local wind field structure and global wind field distribution features at different spatial scales. The feature maps of different levels in the encoder are passed to the corresponding levels in the decoder through skip connections. The decoder adopts a progressive upsampling structure to gradually restore the spatial resolution of the three-dimensional wind field.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the training process of the deep learning wind field inversion model includes:
[0015] S31. Obtain a training dataset, which includes high-resolution three-dimensional wind field data generated by a numerical weather prediction model, or true three-dimensional wind field data obtained by fusion of observations from multiple lidars.
[0016] S32. Based on the true value data of the three-dimensional wind field, simulated observation characteristic parameters corresponding to the scanning mode of the single Doppler wind lidar are generated through forward model simulation.
[0017] S33. Using the simulated observation feature parameters as input and the corresponding three-dimensional wind field ground truth data as supervision labels, the deep learning wind field inversion model is trained under supervision.
[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the preprocessing in step S2 specifically includes the following steps:
[0019] S21. In the signal range outside the effective detection range of the lidar, automatically identify and evaluate the noise levels of electromagnetic background and ambient light, and determine a dynamic noise floor threshold.
[0020] S22. Compare the raw power spectrum data at each detection range gate with the noise floor threshold. When the signal-to-noise ratio is lower than the preset threshold, mark it as invalid or low-confidence data point and isolate or assign a special identifier in subsequent processing. Apply a bandwidth-adjustable bandpass filter to the valid raw power spectrum signal and lock the center frequency of the filter with the emission frequency of the lidar.
[0021] S23. Assign a comprehensive signal quality index to each valid detection data point. The signal quality index comprehensively considers the strength of the signal-to-noise ratio, the peak sharpness of the power spectrum signal, and the stability of the signal in time. Through the signal quality index, all detection data are divided into three quality levels: high, medium, and low, and different quality identifiers are attached to the data of each level.
[0022] S24. When the lidar is deployed on a mobile platform, attitude data from the platform's inertial navigation system is integrated, including changes in the platform's roll, pitch, and heading. Through the attitude data, the beam pointing vector of the lidar is geometrically corrected in real time at each moment, and the measurement data is uniformly compensated to a stable reference coordinate system.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the preprocessing in step S2 further includes the following steps:
[0024] S25. Directly analyze and generate a series of core observation parameters from the spectrum data that has been processed as described above;
[0025] S26. Associate and bind the core observation parameters of each data point with its corresponding spatial metadata;
[0026] S27. Encapsulate the core observation parameters, quality identifiers, and spatial metadata of all probe points into a structured, georeferenced dataset according to spatial logical relationships.
[0027] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the core observation parameters include radial wind speed, signal-to-noise ratio and spectral width. The radial wind speed is derived from the displacement of the spectral peak relative to the transmission frequency. The signal-to-noise ratio is used to characterize the reliability of the signal strength. The spectral width is used to reflect the intensity of atmospheric turbulence or wind shear. The spatial metadata includes the azimuth angle of the detection point, the elevation angle of the detection point and the slant range of the detection point relative to the radar.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step S2 and step S3 include:
[0029] S2a. Define the target three-dimensional spatial grid: Define a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system with the location of a single wind-measuring lidar as the origin. Within the coordinate system, delineate a three-dimensional cubic space covering the effective detection range of the lidar as the target area. Divide the target area at fixed intervals in the horizontal, vertical and radial directions to form a three-dimensional spatial grid composed of numerous uniformly sized cubic grid units.
[0030] S2b. Establish a spatial impact model based on data quality: By using the signal quality index allocated in the preprocessing, a positive correlation is made for the initial weight of each original observation data point. For each three-dimensional spatial grid cell, all original observation data points in the spatial neighborhood are identified. The initial weight of each original observation data point is further attenuated by the spatial distance from the original observation data point to the center point of the three-dimensional spatial grid cell.
[0031] S2c, Perform quality-weighted feature value assignment: The radial wind speed values of all original observation data points within the neighborhood of each 3D spatial grid cell are weighted and fused with the distance-attenuated weight values to assign a radial wind speed feature value to the 3D spatial grid cell; the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values of all original observation data points within the neighborhood of the same 3D spatial grid cell are weighted and fused with the distance-attenuated weights to assign a SNR feature value to that grid cell; the spectral width values of all original observation data points within the neighborhood of the same 3D spatial grid cell are weighted and fused with the distance-attenuated weights to assign a spectral width feature value to that grid cell.
[0032] S2d, Generate Grid Confidence Label: Calculate the total weight of all original observation data points involved in the feature value calculation of each 3D spatial grid cell. Define the total weight as the data fullness of the 3D spatial grid cell. Based on the data fullness, assign a confidence level to each 3D spatial grid cell. When the data fullness of a 3D spatial grid cell is high, it is marked as high confidence. When the data fullness of a 3D spatial grid cell is low or zero, it is marked as low confidence or missing data.
[0033] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step S2 and step S3 further include:
[0034] S2e. Constructing a regularized 3D feature tensor: The radial wind speed, signal-to-noise ratio, and spectral width feature values of all obtained 3D spatial grid cells are filled into a 3D matrix that corresponds completely to the 3D spatial grid dimension. The confidence level information of each 3D spatial grid cell is stored in an independent 3D matrix. The 3D matrix containing the observed feature values is combined with the 3D matrix containing the confidence level to form a complete and regularized 3D feature tensor.
[0035] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the method further includes post-processing optimization of the reconstructed three-dimensional wind field, specifically including: based on the confidence level of the three-dimensional spatial grid cell, performing spatial interpolation compensation on the wind vectors in low confidence or data missing areas, and smoothing the reconstructed three-dimensional wind field through wind field physical consistency constraints.
[0036] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0037] 1. The three-dimensional wind vector can be directly inverted from the radial observation data of a single lidar through a deep learning model, without the need for multiple devices to work together, which significantly reduces system cost and deployment complexity.
[0038] 2. The neural network with an encoder-decoder structure, combined with multi-scale feature fusion and skip connection mechanism, can effectively capture local wind field structure and global distribution features, improving the accuracy of wind field reconstruction and the ability to restore spatial details.
[0039] 3. By introducing preprocessing mechanisms such as signal quality assessment, dynamic noise threshold, and mobile platform attitude correction, the robustness of the model under complex meteorological conditions and mobile platform environments is improved.
[0040] 4. Utilize numerical weather prediction or collaborative observation data as training ground values to construct simulated observation feature parameters, thereby achieving end-to-end supervised learning and avoiding the excessive reliance on physical models in traditional methods.
[0041] 5. By constructing a three-dimensional spatial grid, using quality-weighted fusion, confidence level labeling, and post-processing optimization, intelligent compensation and wind field smoothing for sparse or low-quality data are achieved, thereby improving the overall physical consistency and reliability of the wind field.
[0042] 6. Integrating inertial navigation data enables real-time beam pointing correction. Combined with normalized 3D feature tensor input, it facilitates efficient and stable real-time inversion of 3D wind fields on mobile platforms. Attached Figure Description

[0068] Furthermore, the core observation parameters include radial wind speed, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and spectral width. Radial wind speed is derived from the displacement of the spectral peak relative to the transmission frequency. SNR is used to characterize the reliability of signal strength. Spectral width is used to reflect the intensity of atmospheric turbulence or wind shear. Spatial metadata includes the azimuth angle of the detection point, the elevation angle of the detection point, and the slant range of the detection point relative to the radar.

[0078] Based on Example 1, this example further provides a specific implementation of a deep learning-based single-unit wind-measuring lidar three-dimensional wind field inversion system. This system is deployed on a mobile lidar platform equipped with an inertial navigation unit and is used for real-time inversion of the three-dimensional wind field of the urban boundary layer. The specific steps include:
[0079] 1. Hardware configuration:
[0080] It employs a 1550nm wavelength Doppler wind lidar with a detection range of 0.1-5km and a range resolution of 30m.
[0081] The scanning mode alternates between PPI (planar position display) and RHI (distance and height display), covering azimuth angle 0-360° and elevation angle 0-90°;
[0082] The platform is equipped with a high-precision IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) that outputs roll, pitch, and heading data at a frequency of 100Hz.
[0083] 2. Data preprocessing and feature extraction:
[0084] According to steps S21-S24, the dynamic noise threshold is calculated in real time, and data points with a signal-to-noise ratio <-15dB are filtered out.
[0085] A bandpass filter with a bandwidth of 200MHz is applied to the effective signal to lock the transmission frequency;
[0086] Based on S25-S27, radial wind speed, signal-to-noise ratio, and spectral width are extracted and bound to azimuth, elevation, and slant range to form a structured dataset.

[0088] The target area is set to have a length × width × height of 1.5km × 1.5km × 1.0km and a grid resolution of 50m × 50m × 50m.
[0089] Based on S2a-S2e, a three-dimensional feature tensor is constructed with dimensions of 30×30×20. Each grid cell contains radial wind speed, signal-to-noise ratio, spectral width, and confidence level.
[0090] 4. Model Inference and Wind Field Reconstruction:
[0091] Using a pre-trained encoder-decoder model (approximately 1.2M parameters), the input is the aforementioned three-dimensional feature tensor;
[0092] The output is a 3D wind vector field (u, v, w) of 30×30×20×3.
[0093] The three-dimensional wind field of the target area is reconstructed based on the three-dimensional wind vector output by the deep learning wind field inversion model (corresponding to step S4). Based on the confidence level of the three-dimensional spatial grid cells, spatial interpolation compensation is performed on the wind vectors of low confidence or data missing areas. At the same time, the reconstructed three-dimensional wind field is smoothed by wind field physical consistency constraints (corresponding to the post-processing optimization step of claim 10).
