Description

Technical Field

[0002] Traditional equipment in existing complex media moisture content detection technologies is mainly applicable to scenarios where real-time detection requirements are not high, the location is fixed, and the power supply is stable, such as media characteristic analysis in a laboratory environment and batch sampling inspection of media moisture content in a factory workshop. In these scenarios, traditional equipment can detect the moisture content of complex media. By uploading the collected data to a cloud server and using server-side model inference to derive the detection results, it can meet the needs of quantitative analysis of moisture content within a certain range, providing basic data support for related research and production.

[0003] However, for scenarios with strict requirements for real-time monitoring, such as dynamic quality monitoring of production lines, traditional equipment suffers from high latency due to its reliance on cloud computing, making it unable to provide timely feedback on detection results and failing to meet the need for real-time adjustment of production parameters. In mobile scenarios such as field exploration and construction sites, the large size and reliance on mains power of traditional equipment result in poor portability, hindering flexible deployment to complete detection tasks. Furthermore, in heterogeneous and complex media environments, the single sensor used in traditional equipment is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, leading to large detection errors and making it difficult to adapt to the complexity of the medium, thus failing to provide accurate moisture content data.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention integrates an anti-interference filter circuit with a microstrip antenna structure at the receiving end to eliminate electromagnetic wave scattering noise in complex media; and it calculates the single-point water content locally in real time using a lightweight improved random forest algorithm embedded on the terminal side. Subsequently, each terminal uploads data to the aggregation node via the LoRa module according to the TDMA mechanism. The node first performs spatiotemporal calibration to remove outliers, and then calculates the regional fused water content using a dynamic weighted fusion algorithm.
