Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0024] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention discloses a method for extracting disaster image information, such as...Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step S1: Plan the flight path of the drone based on the 3D map of the disaster area to collect raw image data of the disaster area; Step S2: Preprocess the original image data to obtain preprocessed image data; wherein, the preprocessing includes image correction processing, image enhancement processing, and image noise reduction processing; Step S3: Extract features from the preprocessed image data to obtain disaster features, identify and classify the disaster features to obtain disaster category information, and store and visualize the disaster category information.
[0025] In some specific embodiments, step S1: Plan the flight path of the UAV based on the 3D map of the disaster area to collect raw image data of the disaster area, including the following: A three-dimensional map of the disaster-stricken area is obtained from a historical database. The three-dimensional map includes topographic information, building distribution information, and road network information. The starting point and target data collection area of the UAV are marked on the three-dimensional map to determine the flight range and main mission area of the UAV.
[0026] Based on the 3D map, obstacles within the target acquisition area are identified, and obstacle information is obtained. Using the Dijkstra algorithm and combining the obstacle information from the 3D map, an obstacle avoidance flight path for the UAV is generated. The UAV is controlled to fly along the obstacle avoidance flight path, and the onboard camera acquires raw image data of the target acquisition area, i.e., the raw image data of the disaster-stricken area.
[0027] During flight, the airborne camera automatically adjusts its exposure parameters, aperture, and ISO according to ambient light conditions to obtain high-resolution images. The airborne camera includes an high-altitude camera and a multispectral camera. The high-altitude camera acquires visible light images of the ground, and the multispectral camera acquires multi-band images (such as infrared, red-edge, red light, and other band images).
[0028] In some specific embodiments, after step S1, the method further includes compressing and encrypting the original image data, and selecting a transmission method to transmit it to the backend processing center, including the following: The original image data is compressed to reduce the bandwidth requirement, and the compressed original image data is encrypted using an encryption algorithm to obtain encrypted original image data, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of the data during transmission.
[0029] Based on the transmission distance between the drone and the back-end processing center, the system adaptively selects either 5G network or satellite communication as the transmission method to send encrypted raw image data to the back-end processing center, ensuring communication reliability in complex post-disaster environments. During transmission, the system monitors network quality in real time, automatically switching to satellite communication or other backup networks when the 5G network signal strength is lower than a preset value, and retransmitting encrypted image data that fails to transmit.
[0030] Specifically, based on the transmission distance and network conditions between the drone and the back-end processing center, the transmission method is adaptively selected to use either 5G network or satellite communication, including: When the transmission distance is less than or equal to a preset threshold, 5G network is selected for high-speed transmission; when the transmission distance is greater than the preset threshold and the ground network signal is lower than the preset strength (i.e., the ground network signal is paralyzed), satellite communication or other backup networks are automatically switched for transmission.
[0031] In this embodiment, 5G network and satellite communication are used for data transmission. 5G network features high speed and low latency, enabling fast and stable transmission of large amounts of image data. Satellite communication offers advantages such as wide coverage and lack of terrain limitations, making it suitable for long-distance data transmission.
[0032] In some specific embodiments, step S2: preprocessing the original image data to obtain preprocessed image data; wherein, the preprocessing includes image correction processing, image enhancement processing, and image noise reduction processing, including the following: (1) Image correction processing: Lens distortion is an image deformation caused by the optical characteristics of a camera lens, and common types of distortion include radial distortion and tangential distortion.
[0033] Therefore, this application obtains the calibration intrinsic parameters and distortion coefficients of the airborne camera through camera calibration technology, and performs image correction processing on the original image data using the radial / tangential distortion correction formula to eliminate the influence of lens radial / tangential distortion and obtain corrected image data.
[0034] The radial distortion correction formula is as follows:
[0035] In the formula, (x corrected ,yc orrected) Let (x, y) represent the pixel coordinates of the image after radial distortion correction, (x, y) represent the pixel coordinates of the original image, and r represent the distance from the pixel to the image center. 2 =x 2 +y 2 k1, k2, and k3 all represent radial distortion coefficients.
[0036] The formula for tangential distortion correction is:
[0037] In the formula, (x corrected ,yc orrected) Let (x, y) represent the pixel coordinates of the image after tangential distortion correction, (x, y) represent the pixel coordinates of the original image, and r represent the distance from the pixel to the image center. 2 =x 2 +y 2 p1 and p2 both represent tangential distortion coefficients.
[0038] (2) Image enhancement processing: Histogram equalization and the Laplacian operator are used to perform contrast enhancement and sharpening on the corrected image data to obtain enhanced image data. Specifically, the gray-level histogram of the corrected image is calculated, and then the cumulative distribution function is calculated to map the gray-level values of the corrected image to new gray-level values, making the histogram of the output image approximately uniformly distributed. Then, the Laplacian operator is used for image sharpening, and convolution operations are used to enhance the edge and detail information of the image.
[0039] The formula for histogram equalization is as follows: The grayscale histogram of the corrected image is calculated as follows: , In the formula, Represents grayscale level The probability of the total number of pixels in the corrected image. Indicates the gray level of the corrected image; Represents grayscale level The number of pixels, This represents the total number of pixels in the corrected image; The cumulative distribution function is calculated as follows: , In the formula, This represents the transformed grayscale value, i.e., the grayscale level in the corrected image. The new grayscale value obtained after mapping by the transformation function T(); This indicates the number of gray levels, typically 256. T represents the gray level of the corrected image, T() represents the transformation function, which acts as a mapping function to map the input gray level to the output gray level; k represents the index of the target gray level, and j represents the j-th gray level in the summation process.
[0040] The formula for the Laplace operator is as follows: , In the formula, This indicates that the Laplacian operator acts on the image function. The results are used for edge detection and image sharpening. This indicates the coordinates of the image after histogram equalization. The grayscale value at that location.
[0041] (3) The enhanced image data is subjected to image denoising processing using a triple filtering method to obtain the denoised image data, i.e., the preprocessed image data. The triple filtering method includes mean filtering, median filtering and Gaussian filtering.
[0042] Specifically, mean filtering smooths the image by calculating the average value of pixels in the neighborhood to remove random noise in the enhanced image; median filtering smooths the image by calculating the median value of pixels in the neighborhood to remove salt-and-pepper noise in the enhanced image; and Gaussian filtering uses a Gaussian function to perform a weighted average of pixels in the neighborhood, which can smooth the image while preserving edge information in the enhanced image.
[0043] In some specific embodiments, step S3 involves: extracting features from the preprocessed image data to obtain disaster features, identifying and classifying the disaster features to obtain disaster category information, and visualizing the disaster category information, including the following: (1) Feature extraction: Principal component analysis (PCA) and minimum noise separation transform (MNF) were used to extract features from the preprocessed image data to obtain disaster characteristics.
[0044] Specifically, principal component analysis is used to reduce the dimensionality of the preprocessed image to extract the main feature information and reduce data redundancy. Then, minimum noise separation transformation is used to separate noise and signal in the preprocessed image to enhance the useful information. Finally, feature extraction is performed on the preprocessed image to obtain disaster features, providing basic data for subsequent feature recognition and classification.
[0045] (2) Feature recognition: A supervised classification model is trained based on historical disaster data. This model compares extracted disaster features with historical disaster data in a database to identify localized disaster areas and damaged objects in the preprocessed image data. For example, the supervised classification model can identify building collapses, road breaks, and the extent of flooding.
[0046] The disaster category information is obtained by classifying and analyzing the local disaster-stricken area and damaged objects using a supervised classification model. The disaster category information includes the damage category of the damaged objects and disaster-related information.
[0047] The damage categories for damaged objects include minor damage, moderate damage, and severe damage.
[0048] For example, damage to buildings can be classified into different types such as roof damage, wall cracks, and overall collapse; damage to roads can be classified into different types such as pavement cracks, roadbed collapse, and bridge breakage.
[0049] (3) Visual presentation: On the electronic map, disaster category information is displayed in a visual classification, including at least one of the following: disaster area, facility damage, vegetation damage, landform changes, and pedestrian flow; wherein, the facility damage includes building damage, road damage, power damage, communication damage, and damage to special facilities.
[0050] In some specific embodiments, the method further includes storing real-time disaster data and historical disaster data, including the following: The real-time disaster data collected in this mission will be stored in the real-time storage module, and the historical disaster data will be stored in the historical data storage module for comparative analysis and training of the supervised classification model.
[0051] The real-time disaster data includes raw image data, corresponding disaster category information, route planning data, etc., providing data support for subsequent results display and analysis; at the same time, it can quickly generate disaster assessment reports, providing real-time information support for rescue operations.
[0052] The historical disaster data includes relevant data on historical typhoon disasters, specifically including past typhoon paths, affected areas, damaged objects, and rescue operation records; this relevant data on historical typhoon disasters provides important reference for subsequent disaster assessments and rescue operations.
[0053] In this embodiment, by storing historical disaster data, different typhoon events can be compared and analyzed to summarize the patterns and characteristics of disaster occurrence, providing a scientific basis for future disaster prevention and emergency response. For example, analyzing historical disaster data can reveal that certain areas are more susceptible to typhoon damage, allowing for the implementation of preventative measures in advance.

The path planning unit identifies obstacles in the target collection area, plans the path based on the obstacle information, and generates the obstacle avoidance flight path of the UAV. During the flight of the UAV, the image acquisition unit collects ground image information in the flight path through a high-altitude camera and a multispectral camera, and transmits it to the processing and analysis module through the data transmission module.
[0081] After data transmission is completed, the image correction unit uses camera calibration technology to obtain the camera's intrinsic parameters and distortion coefficients, and then corrects the acquired original image using a distortion correction algorithm. Next, the image enhancement unit continues to improve the overall contrast and sharpen the original image based on histogram equalization and the Laplacian operator. Finally, the image denoising unit removes noise from the original image using a triple filtering method of mean filtering, median filtering, and Gaussian filtering to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the image, ultimately obtaining the preprocessed image.
[0082] After image processing, information extraction is performed on the preprocessed image. The feature extraction unit extracts key disaster features from the preprocessed image, the feature recognition unit identifies the extracted disaster features, and the feature classification unit compares and analyzes the extracted disaster features with historical disaster data stored in the historical database to classify and determine their different damage types, thereby obtaining disaster category information.
[0083] The classified images can be stored through a database-based storage management module. The historical data storage unit stores historical typhoon disaster data, which is convenient for comparison and analysis. The real-time data storage unit stores the real-time typhoon disaster data collected in the current session, which is convenient for subsequent display and analysis of the results.
[0084] After the data is stored, the results display module categorizes different disaster images according to disaster type, and displays images of relevant disaster types through different display units.
[0085] Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
