Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drone swarm control environment management technology, and in particular to a targeted snail eradication method and system based on drone swarm collaboration and AI recognition. Background Technology
[0002] Oncomelania snails are the only intermediate host for schistosomiasis, and their effective control is crucial to blocking the spread of the disease. Currently, the main method relies on manual snail detection and pesticide spraying, which has the following inherent drawbacks:
[0003] Inefficient: Manual surveying is slow and arduous, making it difficult to cope with complex terrains such as swamps, water-filled rice paddies, and has a limited coverage area.
[0004] Inaccurate identification: It is very easy to miss snails by visual inspection, especially for juvenile snails or snails hidden under vegetation, which leads to inaccurate determination of breeding grounds.
[0005] Severe pollution: To ensure effectiveness, the entire area is usually sprayed, resulting in more than 95% of the agent not reaching the target, causing serious environmental drug pollution.
[0006] High risk: Staff are exposed to contaminated water and chemical agents for extended periods, posing a significant health risk.
[0007] While existing technologies have seen attempts at single-drone applications, they mostly employ a separate model of "aerial photography followed by manual interpretation and then operation," failing to create a real-time closed loop and exhibiting low levels of intelligence. This makes them unsuitable for large-scale, high-efficiency snail eradication. Therefore, a completely new integrated and intelligent solution is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to propose a targeted snail eradication method based on drone swarm collaboration and AI recognition, aiming to solve the problems of low efficiency, inaccurate identification, serious waste of drugs, and high personal safety risks of existing snail eradication methods that rely on manual labor.
[0009] The present invention is implemented as follows: a targeted snail eradication method based on drone swarm collaboration and AI recognition includes the following steps: Receive and parse the work area information and initialize the parameters, generate a global collaborative exploration path, and distribute it to each exploration drone; The drone swarm is instructed to fly along the global collaborative reconnaissance path, simultaneously collect multi-source raw ground image data, and perform real-time analysis based on a pre-trained AI model to identify snail breeding ground targets and their geographical coordinates. It receives all identified target information data, performs data fusion and deduplication; generates a global electronic map of mollusc eradication targets; and dynamically allocates application tasks to the optimal application drone. The assigned spraying drones are precisely positioned and the spraying mechanism is controlled to spray the target area instantaneously and quantitatively. After the spraying is completed, a reconnaissance drone is assigned to perform a second scan of the sprayed area. By comparing the changes in the images before and after the spraying with AI, the snail eradication effect is automatically verified and an operation report is generated.
[0010] Another objective of this invention is to propose a targeted snail eradication method system based on drone swarm collaboration and AI recognition. The system includes:
[0011] The task planning and cluster initialization module is used to receive work area information, parse and initialize parameters, generate a global collaborative reconnaissance path, and allocate it to each reconnaissance UAV. The collaborative survey and real-time identification module is used to control the drone swarm to fly along a global collaborative survey path, simultaneously collect multi-source ground image data, and use an airborne AI model to identify snail breeding ground targets and their geographical coordinates in real time. The data fusion and task allocation module is used to receive all identification results, perform data fusion and deduplication, generate an electronic map of mollusc extermination target points, and dynamically allocate pesticide application tasks to the optimal pesticide application drone. The precision-targeted spraying module is used to control the pesticide application drone to accurately locate and operate the spraying mechanism to spray pesticides onto the target in an instantaneous and quantitative manner. The effect verification and report generation module is used to assign a survey drone to conduct a secondary scan after the application of pesticides. By comparing the changes in images before and after the application of pesticides using AI, the module can automatically verify the snail eradication effect and generate an operation report.
[0012] Beneficial effects of the present invention This invention provides a precise targeted snail eradication method and system based on UAV swarm collaboration and AI recognition. The method includes: receiving and parsing operational area information through a cloud-based control center, automatically generating a global collaborative reconnaissance path and allocating it to a reconnaissance UAV swarm; the UAV swarm synchronously collecting multi-source ground image data along the path, and using an onboard AI model to identify snail breeding ground targets and their geographical coordinates in real time; the cloud-based system aggregates all identification results, employs an improved DBSCAN algorithm for spatiotemporal clustering and data fusion to generate an electronic map of snail-eradicating targets, and dynamically allocates pesticide application tasks; the pesticide application UAV uses RTK positioning for centimeter-level precise positioning, controlling the spraying mechanism to spray a precise amount of pesticide onto the target center instantaneously; finally, the snail eradication effect is automatically verified through secondary scanning and AI image comparison.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this invention and are not intended to limit this invention.

The method includes: receiving and parsing operational area information through a cloud-based control center, automatically generating a global collaborative reconnaissance path and allocating it to a reconnaissance UAV swarm; the UAV swarm synchronously collecting multi-source ground image data along the path, and using an onboard AI model to identify snail breeding ground targets and their geographical coordinates in real time; the cloud-based system aggregates all identification results, employs an improved DBSCAN algorithm for spatiotemporal clustering and data fusion to generate an electronic map of snail-eradicating targets, and dynamically allocates pesticide application tasks; the pesticide application UAV uses RTK positioning for centimeter-level precise positioning, controlling the spraying mechanism to spray a precise amount of pesticide onto the target center instantaneously; finally, the snail eradication effect is automatically verified through secondary scanning and AI image comparison. This invention achieves full-process automation of reconnaissance, identification, decision-making, spraying, and verification, greatly improving snail eradication efficiency and accuracy, significantly reducing pesticide usage, and eliminating the risk of personnel infection.
[0016] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a preferred embodiment of the present invention for a precise targeted snail eradication method based on drone swarm collaboration and AI recognition; the method includes the following steps: S1, Receive and parse the work area information and initialize the parameters, generate a global collaborative reconnaissance path, and assign it to each reconnaissance UAV; including the following steps (steps S11-S13): Step S11: Input processing of work area information and parameter initialization; including (S111-S114): S111 receives the electronic map of the work area uploaded by the user (such as a KML / SHP format file), and parses the coordinates of its geographical boundary vertices; at the same time, it loads the digital elevation model (DEM) data layer corresponding to the area and the preset obstacle information layer (including no-fly zone polygons, high-voltage towers and other point and line elements and their safety buffers). S112, based on the snail eradication reconnaissance mission, initializes key flight and data acquisition parameters, including target reconnaissance resolution, image overlap rate, and safety interval; S113. Based on the scale of the snail breeding environment characteristics to be identified, determine the target ground sampling distance (GSD, e.g., 3 cm / pixel), and then calculate the required flight altitude (H). S114, Set the lateral overlap rate (O) for image acquisition. ≥ 60%) and heading overlap rate (O x ≥ 80%) Set the minimum safe vertical distance of the flight path relative to the ground and vegetation canopy; Step S12: Generate a global collaborative reconnaissance path. Using a regional coverage path planning algorithm, automatically generate a flight path that covers the entire operation area without repetition or omission. This includes (S121-S122):
[0017] S121, uses the ox-plowing reciprocating scanning method to generate the basic path; This involves using a plow-like reciprocating scanning method to generate a parallel reciprocating scanning path along the longest side of the circumscribed rectangle of the work area, in order to achieve the highest flight efficiency.
[0018] S122, perform basic path constraint processing and optimization; including... Spatial conflict detection is performed between the generated base path and the obstacle data layer; for path segments that intersect with no-fly zones or obstacle buffer zones, the A* algorithm (A-Star Algorithm) is used for local replanning to generate smooth, conflict-free detour paths. The coverage width (W) of a single image is calculated based on the sensor field of view (FOV) and flight altitude (H) of the reconnaissance drone; the coverage width (W) of a single image is calculated based on the preset lateral overlap ratio (O). The optimal strip spacing (S) is calculated using the formula: S = W × (1 - O) Meanwhile, based on the heading overlap ratio (O) x Calculate the waypoint spacing (L);
[0019] Step S13: The process of decomposing cluster tasks and allocating space includes (S131-S135): S131 employs an improved Veno diagram algorithm based on load balancing to divide the optimized global path into N sub-region paths (N being the number of reconnaissance drones). The key load indicator is set as the estimated reconnaissance time.
[0020] The estimated reconnaissance time is determined by the sub-region path length, number of turns, and terrain complexity, aiming to achieve a substantial balance in the workload of each UAV mission.
[0021] S132, preset different flight altitude layers for each sub-region path (for example, assign an altitude H_i = H_base + (i-1) * ΔH to the i-th drone, where H_base is the base flight altitude, which is determined by mission requirements; ΔH is the safe altitude interval, which is related to flight safety; and i is the index number of the drone); create a three-dimensional geofence for each sub-region to strictly limit the drone's activity range to its assigned area.
[0022] S133 generates an independent flight mission package for each sub-region path, which includes serialized waypoint coordinates, flight altitude, flight speed, camera trigger commands, and safety fence boundaries. S134 establishes a connection with all reconnaissance drones via the communication network to verify their GPS signal strength, battery level, and sensor status. After confirming that all units are in normal condition, the corresponding task packages are distributed to each reconnaissance drone.
[0023] S135 instructs the UAVs to automatically take off in sequence after receiving the mission package, autonomously navigate to the starting point of their respective assigned routes, enter standby status, and prepare to carry out collaborative reconnaissance missions.
[0024] S2, instructing the reconnaissance drone swarm to fly along the global collaborative reconnaissance path, simultaneously collecting multi-source raw ground image data, and performing real-time analysis based on a pre-trained airborne AI model to identify the target habitat of Oncomelania snails and its geographical coordinates; including the following steps (steps S21-S25): Step S21: Instruct the reconnaissance drone to fly synchronously along the assigned path and collect multi-source raw image data; In this embodiment of the invention, a high-definition zoom camera is used to acquire visible light images of the ground at a preset frequency (e.g., 1-2Hz); a multispectral or hyperspectral imager is used to acquire non-visible light band spectral data of the corresponding area; the spectral data includes environmental characteristics such as vegetation health status and moisture content; Step S22 involves real-time preprocessing of the acquired raw image data in the onboard computing unit, including: Convert the image into the input format required by the model; Image distortion correction and brightness normalization are performed to eliminate the influence of sensor and lighting conditions. Step S23: Input the preprocessed original image into the pre-trained airborne AI model for recognition processing and output Oncomelania snail breeding ground target information; the target information data includes the target's bounding box information and its corresponding confidence score; The pre-trained airborne AI model is a deep learning-based object detection network (preferably YOLO or Faster R-CNN architecture), and its processing includes the following steps: Deep features are extracted from images using a convolutional neural network backbone. Based on the aforementioned features, suspected Oncomelania snail breeding grounds (such as damp mudflats, specific vegetation communities, etc.) in image frames are identified and located. Output target information of Oncomelania snail breeding grounds, including the bounding box information of the target and its corresponding confidence score; Step S24: Bind target geographic information; including For each identified target, its pixel coordinates in the image are spatiotemporally aligned and fused with the latitude, longitude, and altitude obtained by the UAV during shooting via a high-precision positioning module (such as RTK-GPS), as well as the flight attitude (pitch, roll, yaw) data obtained via an inertial measurement unit (IMU). Based on camera sensor parameters and UAV pose data, the precise geodetic coordinates (longitude and latitude) of the target center point are calculated through forward intersection or projection transformation models. Step S25: Encapsulate and upload the target information in real time; including The identification result data is encapsulated into a structured target information data packet; the target information data packet includes at least: timestamp, target geodetic coordinates, identification confidence level, target area image snapshot, and UAV unique identifier; The target information data packets are uploaded to the cloud control center in real time and asynchronously via the airborne communication module and communication network, and then proceed to the next step of data fusion and decision-making process. S3 receives all identified target information data, performs data fusion and deduplication; generates a global electronic map of mollusc eradication targets; and dynamically allocates application tasks to the optimal application drone. This includes the following steps (steps S31-S35): Step S31: Multi-source data collection and standardization processing; including... The system continuously receives target information data uploaded by all reconnaissance drones via the communication network. The received target information data is subjected to integrity verification, and key fields such as timestamp, geographic coordinates, confidence level, and image evidence are parsed. All target information data are converted to a unified spatiotemporal coordinate system; Step S32: Perform spatiotemporal clustering and data fusion; including (S321-S323): S321, Establish a composite index structure based on geospatial and temporal dimensions; S322 uses the advanced DBSCAN algorithm for spatiotemporal clustering; Wherein: the spatial neighborhood threshold is set to ε=5 meters; the time window is set to Δt=10 minutes; and the minimum number of clustered samples is set to min_samples=2. Let there be two data points p and q, each with spatial coordinates... and timestamp Define the spatiotemporal composite distance function. for:
[0025] ; in, It is the spatial Euclidean distance; It is the absolute time difference. Δt is the time window threshold, set to 10 minutes; the ε-neighborhood Nϵ(p) of point p is defined as:
[0026] Nϵ(p)={q∈D∣dspace(p,q)≤ϵ and dtime(p,q)≤Δt}Nϵ; Where ϵ=5 meters is the spatial neighborhood threshold; The core algorithm for density clustering is: When the ε-neighborhood of point p contains at least min_samples=2 data points, p is identified as a core object; based on density reachability, points that are directly density reachable and density reachable are included in the same cluster; isolated points that cannot be included in any cluster are marked as noise data; S323, performing target deduplication and fusion: including Calculate the weighted center coordinates for each cluster; in, Pcenter This represents the center coordinates of the unique snail-killing target point generated after fusion. n This indicates the number of original identification results within the same target cluster; i This indicates the index number (from 1 to n) of the original recognition result currently being processed within the cluster. Pi Indicates the first i Geographic coordinates of the original identification results; with Indicates the first i The confidence level of each original identification result; Calculate the fusion confidence score for each cluster; in, Cfused This represents the overall confidence level of the unique molluscicide target after fusion. n This indicates the number of original recognition results. i Indicates the index number. Ci Indicates the first i The confidence level of each original identification result.
[0027] For each cluster, select the target image with the highest confidence level; Step S33: Generate an electronic map of snail eradication target sites; including (S331-S333): S331, add the merged target points as independent elements to the electronic map layer; S332, establishes a complete attribute record for each target point; The attribute records include: target unique identifier, precise geographic coordinates, fusion confidence score, associated image evidence index, and target level assessment (based on confidence score). S333, generate interactive electronic map services; The electronic map service supports target spatial query and filtering, attribute information visualization, map export and sharing; Step S34: Perform dynamic task allocation; including (S341-S344): S341, to obtain the real-time operating status of the spraying drone swarm; The operating status includes location coordinates and movement trajectory, remaining drug capacity, battery life, and current task load; S342, Establish an optimization model, that is, construct an optimization function with the objective of minimizing the total operation time; The model constraints include each target point being served by only one UAV, UAV drug capacity constraints, UAV endurance constraints, and mission completion time requirements; the optimization function is: min ∑ {i=1}^{m} ∑ {j=1}^{n} c_{ij} x_{ij} Where m represents the total number of spraying drones; n represents the total number of mollusc control targets to be sprayed; i represents the index of the spraying drone, i from 1 to m; j represents the index of the mollusc control target, j from 1 to n; c_{ij} represents the cost of the i-th drone traveling to the j-th target for operation. The cost can be flight distance, flight time, energy consumption, etc., or a combination of factors (such as distance, priority, etc.). In practical models, the goal is usually to minimize the total cost. x_{ij} is a decision variable, usually a 0-1 variable; if the i-th drone is assigned to spray the j-th target, then x_{ij} = 1; otherwise, it is 0.
[0028] S343 employs an improved genetic algorithm to optimize task allocation and obtain the optimal task allocation scheme; including... An integer encoding scheme is used to represent the task allocation strategy. A chromosome sequence of length n (total number of targets) is constructed, in which the value of each gene position represents the UAV number assigned to the corresponding target, forming a complete task allocation solution space representation.
[0029] Establish a fitness evaluation function that comprehensively considers the total path length, resource consumption balance, and task completion time balance; its expression is: F = α ⋅ D total+ β ⋅Δ R + c ⋅Δ T + d ⋅ P in: D total represents the total flight path length of the drone swarm; Δ R The range of liquid usage rates for each drone; Δ T The range of completion times for each drone mission; P To constrain the penalty terms for violations; for solutions that do not satisfy the constraints (such as exceeding the limits of liquid capacity, exceeding the limits of battery life, etc.), P takes a very large positive number; for feasible solutions, P=0. α , β , c , d These are the weighting coefficients.
[0030] Based on the above encoding and evaluation functions, selection, crossover, and mutation operations are performed to obtain an approximately optimal task allocation scheme through iterative evolution.
[0031] S344, Generate task instructions; including Generate the optimal operation sequence for each drone; calculate the optimal spraying parameters for each target point; generate a security check code containing path planning and spraying instructions; Step S35: Issue and confirm the task; including The system packages mission instructions into a standard communication protocol format; sends mission instructions to designated application drones via encrypted channels; receives mission confirmation signals from drones and updates the system mission status.
[0032] S4 instructs the assigned pesticide application drone to accurately locate itself using the precision positioning module and controls the spraying mechanism to spray pesticide onto the target center instantaneously and quantitatively; the precision positioning module is an RTK-GPS module, achieving centimeter-level positioning accuracy; The spraying mechanism is a nozzle or piezoelectric nozzle controlled by a miniature solenoid valve, which can achieve pulse spraying with millisecond-level start and stop; Navigation and Precise Positioning: After receiving instructions, the pesticide-dispensing drone flies to its first assigned target coordinates. As it approaches the target, it relies on its onboard RTK-GPS module to improve positioning accuracy from meters to centimeters (typically ±1-3 centimeters), thereby achieving stable and precise hovering over the target.
[0033] Instantaneous quantitative spraying: Start-stop control: The flight control system sends pulse signals to the precision spraying mechanism (such as a miniature high-speed solenoid valve). The solenoid valve has a response time in the millisecond range, enabling instantaneous opening and closing of the spray solution.
[0034] Quantitative spraying: By controlling the opening time of the nozzle (e.g., 0.2-1.0 seconds) and the liquid pressure, ensure that the dosage of the agent sprayed each time is a pre-calibrated fixed small dose (e.g., 5-10 ml).
[0035] S5. After the pesticide application is completed, a reconnaissance drone is assigned to conduct a second scan of the sprayed area. AI is used to compare the changes in images before and after application, automatically verifying the snail eradication effect and generating an operation report. This includes (steps S51-S53):
[0036] Step S51: Assign an idle or optimally positioned reconnaissance drone to perform a secondary flight scan of the sprayed target area and collect post-application image data.
[0037] Step S52: The acquired post-processed image of the target and the stored original image of the target are both fed into the AI model for comparison. The comparison method can be:
[0038] Change detection: Using image difference or semantic segmentation models, identify whether the color, texture and other features of the target area have changed significantly due to the drug effect (such as vegetation withering or the ground color darkening).
[0039] Activity assessment: The target detection model directly determines whether the original breeding environment characteristics still exist or whether their confidence level has decreased significantly.
[0040] Step S53: Summarize all task data and generate a structured job report.
[0041] The report includes, but is not limited to: total operating area, total flight mileage, number of original targets identified, number of targets after fusion, number of targets sprayed, total amount of pesticide consumed, average amount of pesticide consumed per target, number of sampling points for effect verification, and snail eradication efficiency.
