Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of remote sensing data processing technology, and in particular to a multi-machine collaborative real-time bidirectional reflectance distribution function modeling system and method. Background Technology

[0002] The bidirectional reflectance distribution function of a ground target describes the reflectance characteristics of the target in different directions, and has very important applications in remote sensing sensor calibration and high-precision quantitative remote sensing inversion.

[0003] Existing ground-based bidirectional reflection distribution function (BRDF) observation systems typically employ a dual-track adjustment method to adjust the observation angle, enabling BRDF data acquisition at altitudes below 3 meters. However, this process is cumbersome, difficult to maneuver, requires significant manual intervention, and is generally non-imaging, making data matching with imaging platforms such as satellites or UAVs difficult. With the miniaturization of UAV technology and spectral imagers, the use of UAV platforms equipped with spectral imagers for BRDF data acquisition is becoming increasingly widespread. However, current acquisition methods primarily rely on single-machine point-by-point scanning, and solar irradiance must be obtained using a standard reference plate. This method not only results in low acquisition efficiency but also makes it difficult to avoid measurement errors introduced by changes in solar irradiance during the acquisition process.

[0004] In recent years, the continuous decline in UAV costs and the maturity of multi-UAV swarm control technology have made multi-UAV collaborative observation an effective way to improve mission efficiency. Meanwhile, the payload capacity of UAVs has significantly increased from the hundred-gram level to the kilogram level, laying the foundation for simultaneously mounting multiple observation devices on a single platform. Furthermore, driven by both enhanced computing power and miniaturization, edge computing devices are now capable of supporting real-time data processing and modeling in field environments. However, existing BRDF observation systems have not yet implemented joint data acquisition using UAVs.

[0005] Therefore, given the limitations mentioned above, it is necessary to propose a joint real-time bidirectional reflectance distribution function modeling system and method that can effectively support near-real-time quantitative remote sensing modeling and inversion of spectral imagers. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides a multi-machine collaborative real-time bidirectional reflectance distribution function modeling system and method to overcome the deficiencies in the existing technology and effectively support near-real-time quantitative remote sensing modeling and inversion of spectral imagers.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a multi-machine collaborative real-time bidirectional reflection distribution function modeling system, comprising:

[0008] The system includes an edge intelligent computing module, a solar position measurement module, a network relay module, a synchronization trigger module, and at least one space-based data acquisition module, wherein the network relay module is connected to the other modules respectively.

[0009] The edge intelligent computing module is used for comprehensive system control, receiving and processing data from the network relay module in real time, and modeling the target's bidirectional reflection distribution function (BRDF) in real time.

[0010] The solar position measurement module is used to measure the solar zenith angle and solar azimuth angle of the target area in real time.

[0011] The network relay module is used for communication and data transmission between modules within the system;

[0012] The synchronization triggering module is used to control the synchronous acquisition of data from each airborne data acquisition module within the system.

[0013] The airborne data acquisition module is used to acquire the directional reflectivity data of the target.

[0014] According to the present invention, a multi-aircraft joint real-time bidirectional reflectance distribution function modeling system is provided, wherein the airborne data acquisition module includes a multi-rotor UAV, a spectral imager, a solar irradiance meter, a three-axis stabilization unit, an RTK positioning unit, a communication unit, and a flight control unit, wherein:

[0015] The spectral imager observes vertically downwards to acquire directional reflectance data of the target area;

[0016] The solar irradiance meter observes vertically upwards to obtain downward solar irradiance data;

[0017] The triaxial stabilization unit is used to provide stable observation conditions;

[0018] The RTK positioning unit is used to provide positioning information;

[0019] The communication unit is used to receive instructions and transmit data;

[0020] The flight control unit is used for the attitude control of the multi-rotor UAV and performs maneuvers after receiving flight commands.

[0021] Secondly, the present invention also provides a multi-machine joint real-time bidirectional reflection distribution function modeling method, comprising:

[0022] Laboratory radiometric calibration of all spectral imagers was performed using an integrating sphere to obtain optical distortion parameters, absolute radiometric calibration gain coefficient, and bias coefficient.

[0023] The RTK positioning unit determines the coordinates of the observed target, the flight altitude of the multi-rotor UAV during the mission, and the spatial distribution during the data acquisition mission;

[0024] The synchronization trigger module and all airborne data acquisition modules are activated to synchronously acquire BRDF modeling data of the observed targets;

[0025] All BRDF modeling data acquired by the space-based data acquisition module are transmitted back to the network relay module and the edge intelligent computing module in real time.

[0026] If the number of multi-rotor UAVs is lower than the preset threshold or the observation target has a preset complex surface condition, then keep the horizontal distance between each multi-rotor UAV and the observation target unchanged, take the observation target as the center, change the observation azimuth angle according to the circular arc maneuver, and repeat the steps of synchronous acquisition of BRDF modeling data and real-time transmission of BRDF modeling data to supplement the data.

[0027] The edge intelligent computing module completes data processing and BRDF modeling based on the final BRDF modeling data, and outputs the BRDF modeling results.

[0028] According to the present invention, a multi-machine joint real-time bidirectional reflectance distribution function modeling method is provided, which utilizes an integrating sphere to perform laboratory radiometric calibration on all spectral imagers to obtain optical distortion parameters, absolute radiometric calibration gain coefficients, and bias coefficients, including:

[0029] The response nonuniformity of all spectral imagers was corrected by relative radiometric calibration;

[0030] The absolute radiometric calibration gain coefficient and bias coefficient of all spectral imagers were obtained through absolute radiometric calibration.

[0031] Geometric calibration of all spectral imagers was performed using a standard checkerboard reference plate to obtain the optical distortion parameters of all spectral imagers.

[0032] According to the present invention, a multi-machine collaborative real-time bidirectional reflection distribution function modeling method is provided to determine the spatial distribution during the execution of a data acquisition task, including:

[0033] Keep all spectral imagers vertically downward to obtain the imaging field of view, and use the flight altitude and imaging field of view to obtain the farthest horizontal distance from the multi-rotor UAV to the observed target;

[0034] Before takeoff, all multi-rotor UAVs are positioned on the same straight line as the observation target. Taking the observation target as the origin, the distance between adjacent multi-rotor UAVs is obtained by the farthest horizontal distance and the number of multi-rotor UAVs.

[0035] Take off all multi-rotor drones to their flight altitude, and obtain the observation zenith angle of any multi-rotor drone relative to the observation target based on the distance between adjacent multi-rotor drones;

[0036] Keep the horizontal distance between all multi-rotor UAVs and the observation target constant, and set the angular intervals evenly in a circular motion with the observation target as the center. The angular interval between adjacent multi-rotor UAVs is obtained by dividing the circumferential angle by the number of multi-rotor UAVs.

[0037] Once all multi-rotor UAVs have maneuvered into position and maintained a stable position, obtain the observation azimuth angles of all multi-rotor UAVs relative to the observation target.

[0038] According to the multi-machine joint real-time bidirectional reflection distribution function modeling method provided by the present invention, the synchronization triggering module and all space-based data acquisition modules are activated to synchronously acquire BRDF modeling data of the observed target, including:

[0039] Adjust all spectral imagers to the same parameters as those used in the laboratory radiometric calibration, and once the equipment is stable, synchronously acquire spectral images of the observed targets;

[0040] Once the solar irradiance meter is confirmed to be unobstructed and the equipment is fully stable, the downward solar irradiance at the location of the drone will be collected synchronously.

[0041] After ensuring the solar position measurement module is placed completely horizontally and pointed towards the sun, the solar zenith angle and solar azimuth angle of the observation target are collected simultaneously.

[0042] According to the present invention, a multi-machine collaborative real-time bidirectional reflection distribution function (BRDF) modeling method is provided, in which an edge intelligent computing module completes data processing and BRDF modeling based on the final BRDF modeling data, and outputs the BRDF modeling results, including:

[0043] Radiometric correction of the spectral image of the observed target is performed using the absolute radiometric calibration gain coefficient and the bias coefficient to obtain the radiance of the observed target.

[0044] Based on the solar downlink irradiance and the spectral response functions of each spectral band of the spectral imager, the equivalent solar downlink irradiance of the spectral band is calculated.

[0045] The directional reflectivity of the observed target is calculated from the equivalent downward solar irradiance and radiance of the spectral band.

[0046] The relative azimuth angle between the multi-rotor UAV and the sun is calculated from the solar zenith angle and the solar azimuth angle.

[0047] Using the least squares approach, a Ross-Li kernel-driven BRDF model is constructed by comprehensively observing the zenith angle, solar zenith angle, and relative azimuth angle, and the BRDF modeling results are output in real time.

[0048] Thirdly, the present invention also provides an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement the multi-machine joint real-time bidirectional reflection distribution function modeling method as described above.

[0049] Fourthly, the present invention also provides a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the multi-machine joint real-time bidirectional reflection distribution function modeling method as described above.

[0050] The multi-drone joint real-time bidirectional reflectance distribution function modeling system and method provided by this invention has a high degree of independence and real-time performance. It can autonomously complete the entire process of data acquisition and processing in the field, significantly improving work efficiency and timeliness. By controlling the synchronous acquisition of each data acquisition module in the system through a synchronous triggering module, it effectively avoids the additional errors introduced by the time difference of data acquisition. The proposed method measures the solar irradiance at the location of the UAV in real time through a solar irradiance meter, effectively avoiding the errors caused by changes in sunlight during the data acquisition process of traditional methods. By using a multi-UAV network and ground-to-air synchronous acquisition method, it effectively improves the data acquisition efficiency while reducing the intensity of manual work. The UAV formation maintains the same flight altitude and adjusts the observation angle by changing the relative distance to the target. This method is more consistent with the satellite Earth observation method, thereby significantly improving the matching degree of the acquired data with satellite data. Furthermore, a three-axis stabilization unit provides stable observation support for the spectral imager and the solar irradiance meter, effectively avoiding the observation errors introduced by the tilt and jitter of the UAV during flight.

3. The multi-machine joint real-time bidirectional reflection distribution function modeling method according to claim 1, characterized in that, Determine the spatial distribution when performing data acquisition tasks, including: Keep all spectral imagers vertically downward to obtain the imaging field of view, and use the flight altitude and imaging field of view to obtain the farthest horizontal distance from the multi-rotor UAV to the observed target; Before takeoff, all multi-rotor UAVs are positioned on the same straight line as the observation target. Taking the observation target as the origin, the distance between adjacent multi-rotor UAVs is obtained by the farthest horizontal distance and the number of multi-rotor UAVs. Take off all multi-rotor drones to their flight altitude, and obtain the observation zenith angle of any multi-rotor drone relative to the observation target based on the distance between adjacent multi-rotor drones; Keep the horizontal distance between all multi-rotor UAVs and the observation target constant, and set the angular intervals evenly in a circular motion with the observation target as the center. The angular interval between adjacent multi-rotor UAVs is obtained by dividing the circumferential angle by the number of multi-rotor UAVs. Once all multi-rotor UAVs have maneuvered into position and maintained a stable position, obtain the observation azimuth angles of all multi-rotor UAVs relative to the observation target.

After ensuring the solar position measurement module is placed completely horizontally and pointed towards the sun, the solar zenith angle and solar azimuth angle of the observation target are collected simultaneously.

Based on the solar downlink irradiance and the spectral response functions of each spectral band of the spectral imager, the equivalent solar downlink irradiance of the spectral band is calculated. The directional reflectivity of the observed target is calculated from the equivalent downward solar irradiance and radiance of the spectral band. The relative azimuth angle between the multi-rotor UAV and the sun is calculated from the solar zenith angle and the solar azimuth angle. Using the least squares approach, a Ross-Li kernel-driven BRDF model is constructed by comprehensively observing the zenith angle, solar zenith angle, and relative azimuth angle, and the BRDF modeling results are output in real time.
