A single model cannot meet the stable operation requirements of multiple scenarios. At the same time, the mounting position and angle of the monitoring equipment are usually fixed, which is easily affected by airflow disturbance and terrain obstruction in complex terrain, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy and effectiveness of the monitoring data.

[0021] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] As shown in Figures 1-4 The present application provides a complex terrain monitoring system cooperated with unmanned aerial vehicles, comprising a master unmanned aerial vehicle unit, a slave unmanned aerial vehicle cluster, a terrain adaptation module, a mounting self-adaptive adjustment mechanism, a multi-source monitoring unit, an obstacle avoidance fusion unit and a data processing module. The master unmanned aerial vehicle unit is equipped with a central control module and a global communication unit, which is used for performing global path planning, slave unmanned aerial vehicle task allocation and data summarization. The central control module specifically includes a path planning algorithm submodule and a task scheduling submodule, which can automatically divide a plurality of monitoring sub-regions according to the terrain characteristics of the monitoring region. The global communication unit adopts a multi-band anti-interference communication protocol, which can maintain stable signal transmission in complex terrain environments such as valleys and dense forests with weak signals. The advantage of this design is that it can realize fine allocation of monitoring tasks, avoid single-region task overload, and effectively improve the communication reliability between the master and slave unmanned aerial vehicles, reduce the risk of data transmission interruption. The slave unmanned aerial vehicle cluster is in communication connection with the master unmanned aerial vehicle unit, and is used for performing sub-regional monitoring tasks. The number of the drone cluster can be flexibly adjusted according to actual monitoring requirements, and each cluster supports 2-5 drones to work cooperatively, each drone is equipped with an independent local communication subunit, which can realize real-time information interaction with the master drone and other drones in the cluster. The advantage of this setting is that it can cover a wider and more complex terrain area, and through multi-drone information interaction, it can complete dynamic position compensation, avoid monitoring blind area caused by single drone failure, and the terrain adaptation module is configured in the drone cluster, which is used for stable operation adaptation to different terrains. The terrain adaptation module adopts a modular and detachable structure, which can quickly replace components according to the specific task type of the drone, and its advantage is to improve the equipment reuse rate of the drone, without the need to configure a dedicated drone for different terrains, thereby reducing the hardware cost of the monitoring system. The mounting self-adaptive adjustment mechanism is configured in the master drone unit and the drone cluster, which is used for dynamically adjusting the position and angle of the monitoring device. The control sub-module of the mounting self-adaptive adjustment mechanism is in real-time linkage with the central control module of the master drone, and can synchronously receive the position change information of the monitoring target. The advantage is that it can realize dynamic and accurate adjustment of the angle of the monitoring device, and avoid invalid monitoring data caused by target movement or change of the attitude of the drone. The multi-source monitoring unit is configured in the master drone unit and the drone cluster, which is used for collecting multi-dimensional monitoring data.
[0023] The data synchronization trigger module is arranged between the sensors of the multi-source monitoring unit, which can ensure that the collection time stamps of different types of monitoring data remain consistent. The advantage is that it provides a unified time reference for the multi-dimensional data fusion of the subsequent data processing module, and improves the accuracy of the fusion result. The obstacle avoidance fusion unit is in communication connection with the master drone unit, which is used for fusing terrain information and real-time sensing data to realize obstacle avoidance control. The data verification sub-module built-in the obstacle avoidance fusion unit can cross-verify the DEM prior data and real-time sensing data. The advantage is that it can filter invalid sensing data and avoid decision-making errors caused by single data error. The data processing module is in communication connection with the master drone unit, which is used for anti-interference processing and fusion output of the monitoring data.
[0024] The data processing module supports edge computing function, which can complete real-time preprocessing of part of the data at the master drone end, without the need to transmit all data to the ground end. The advantage is to reduce the bandwidth pressure of data transmission, improve the output efficiency of monitoring results, and facilitate quick access to preliminary feedback of terrain monitoring. The terrain adaptation module includes a vacuum suction disc assembly and a pressure sensing assembly configured in the mountain adaptation type drone, and a folding inflatable float assembly configured in the water-land adaptation type drone. The vacuum suction disc assembly adjusts the adsorption force through the detection data of the pressure sensing assembly, and the folding inflatable float assembly can be pre-started to adapt to water operation. The vacuum suction cup assembly is made of highly wear-resistant silicone material, and the surface of the suction cup has a microstructure anti-slip texture. The pressure sensing component has a sampling frequency of up to 10Hz, which can provide real-time feedback on the contact pressure value between the suction cup and the slope. This enhances the adsorption stability on rough slope surfaces and reduces the risk of the drone slipping when operating on slopes. It also enables rapid dynamic adjustment of the adsorption force, avoiding damage to slope vegetation due to excessive adsorption force or adsorption failure due to insufficient adsorption force. The inflation process of the foldable inflatable float assembly is triggered by the mission command of the main drone, and the inflation time does not exceed 30 seconds. The buoyancy of the float after it is unfolded can support the drone and the onboard monitoring equipment (total weight ≤ 5kg) to float stably on the water surface. This allows for a quick switch from aerial flight to water surface operation, adapting to the rapid response monitoring needs of waterfront areas.
[0025] The main UAV unit issues commands to the swarm of slave UAVs based on the terrain type determined by the global path planning. For sloping terrain, it activates the vacuum suction cup and pressure sensing components of the mountain-adaptive slave UAVs; for waterfront terrain, it activates the foldable inflatable float components of the water-adaptive slave UAVs.
[0026] Before issuing terrain adaptation commands, the main UAV unit will first confirm the terrain type by using pre-collected data from the terrain slope sensor. This has the advantage of avoiding errors in the activation of adaptation components due to delays in updating prior DEM data, thus improving the accuracy of terrain adaptation. The adaptive adjustment mechanism includes a motorized pan-tilt unit, an angle sensor, and a control submodule. The angle sensor collects real-time airflow velocity components, and the control submodule, based on the real-time airflow velocity components and the field-of-view requirements of the monitoring equipment, uses a formula... Calculate the mounting angle And control the electric pan-tilt unit to adjust the position and angle of the monitoring equipment; in, The airflow component perpendicular to the monitoring field of view. To monitor the field of view of the equipment, To monitor the distance to the target; The angle sensor has a measurement accuracy of up to 0.1°, which can accurately capture subtle changes in the airflow velocity component. The parameters of the formula can be customized according to the model of the monitoring equipment. It has a built-in parameter preset library for commonly used equipment. The advantage is that it provides high-precision basic data for the calculation of the mounting angle, ensuring that the field of view of the monitoring equipment always covers the target area. At the same time, it improves the system's compatibility with different monitoring equipment, eliminating the need to develop separate control algorithms for each type of equipment.
[0027] The obstacle avoidance fusion unit is used to fuse prior data from the digital elevation model (DEM) of the monitoring area and obstacle distance data from real-time lidar. and visual sensing of terrain texture features .
[0028] The master UAV unit generates a local path correction instruction based on the output data of the obstacle avoidance fusion unit, and the formula is The local path correction instruction is sent to the slave UAV cluster; wherein, is the initial local path, is the path correction amount, is the safety distance threshold.
[0029] The DEM prior data can be imported in advance through the on-board storage module of the master UAV, or the latest terrain data can be obtained through the real-time network; the detection distance of the real-time laser radar can reach 50m, and the detection accuracy is ±0.2m; the value range of the path correction amount ΔP can be set according to the maneuverability of the slave UAV, and the default value is 0.5-2m, which has the advantages of adapting to different update frequency of terrain monitoring demand, improving the environmental adaptability of the system; At the same time, the long-distance obstacles in complex terrain are perceived in advance, and sufficient reaction time is reserved for path correction; It can also avoid the loss of control of the slave UAV attitude caused by too large path correction amplitude, and improve the stability of the obstacle avoidance process; The multi-source monitoring unit includes a non-contact spectral monitor, a hydrological water sampling-flow rate sensor, and a terrain slope sensor; The non-contact spectral monitor is used to collect atmospheric and soil spectral data, the hydrological water sampling-flow rate sensor is used to collect water sample and flow rate data, and the terrain slope sensor is used to collect terrain slope data; The spectral detection range of the non-contact spectral monitor covers 200-1000nm, including ultraviolet-visible-near infrared band; The water sampling capacity of the hydrological water sampling-flow rate sensor is 50mL, and the flow rate measurement range is 0.01-5m / s; The measurement range of the terrain slope sensor is 0-90°, and the measurement accuracy is ±0.5°, which has the advantages of collecting more rich atmospheric and soil spectral information, and improving the accuracy of material composition identification; It can obtain enough water samples for subsequent laboratory analysis, and can cover the common flow rate range of waterfront area; It can also accurately capture the slope change of complex terrain, provide data support for path planning and terrain adaptation, and the spectral anti-interference correction algorithm and multi-source data fusion model are built-in in the data processing module; The spectral anti-interference correction algorithm corrects the original spectral intensity I to obtain the corrected spectral intensity ; wherein, k is the atmospheric extinction coefficient, h is the monitoring height, is the solar elevation angle; The algorithm can also dynamically correct the atmospheric extinction coefficient k based on the atmospheric humidity data of the monitoring area. This further reduces the interference of atmospheric environmental factors on the spectral data and improves the reliability of the corrected data. The division of labor among the multi-source monitoring units is as follows: the main UAV unit's non-contact spectral monitoring instrument collects atmospheric spectral data; the mountain-adapted unit's non-contact spectral monitoring instrument simultaneously activates auxiliary light source calibration to collect soil spectral data; and the land-water adapted unit collects water samples and water flow velocity data from the UAV's hydrological sampling and flow velocity sensor. The calibration time for the auxiliary light source is no more than 10 seconds, and the error of the spectral data after calibration can be controlled within ±2%. The advantage is that it can quickly complete the preparation work for soil spectral acquisition while ensuring the accuracy of the acquired data. The global path planning of the main UAV unit is achieved through a global path cost function. To achieve; among which, These are the weighting coefficients. As a result of the terrain slope, The cost of obstacle distance, This comes at the cost of monitoring point coverage density.
[0030] The weighting coefficients ω1, ω2, and ω3 can be adjusted according to the priority of the monitoring task. For example, the weight of Coverage can be increased for ecological monitoring tasks, and the weight of Cobstacle can be increased for security inspection tasks. The benefit is that it can achieve task-oriented optimization of path planning and improve the system's adaptability to different monitoring needs.
[0031] In this embodiment, the present invention operates as follows: First, system initialization and global path planning are performed: the main UAV unit imports prior data of the digital elevation model (DEM) of the monitoring area, and then performs global path cost function... The system calculates path costs, divides monitoring sub-areas such as slopes and waterfronts, and issues task commands to the drone swarm. At the same time, the pre-activated components of the terrain adaptation module enter the standby state.

[0032] Subsequently, terrain adaptation and deployment of the drones are carried out: the main drone unit issues activation commands to the corresponding slave drones according to the terrain type of the sub-area. For sloping areas, the mountain-adaptive slave drone activates the vacuum suction cup component, and the pressure sensing component collects the contact pressure at a frequency of 10Hz and adjusts the suction force to complete the stable deployment on the slope. For waterfront areas, the land-water-adaptive slave drone triggers the folding inflatable float component to inflate (inflation time ≤30 seconds), floats on the water surface to complete the hydrological monitoring deployment. At the same time, the adaptive adjustment mechanism of the main and slave drones completes the angle sensor calibration and synchronously monitors the field of view parameters of the equipment.
[0033] Then carry out cooperative monitoring operation and dynamic adjustment: the non-contact spectral monitor of the main unmanned aerial vehicle unit collects atmospheric spectrum data; the spectral monitor of the mountain adaptive slave unmanned aerial vehicle collects soil spectrum data after starting auxiliary light source calibration (calibration time ≤10 seconds); the hydrology water sampling-flow rate sensor of the water-land adaptive slave unmanned aerial vehicle collects water body sample and flow velocity data; the self-adaptive adjustment mechanism mounted collects real-time air flow velocity component through an angle sensor , according to the formula , the mounting angle of the monitoring equipment is adjusted; the obstacle avoidance fusion unit fuses DEM prior data, real-time laser radar distance data and visual texture features , the main unmanned aerial vehicle unit generates local path correction instructions through the formula and issues them to the slave unmanned aerial vehicle cluster to avoid obstacles.
[0034] Finally, data processing and result output are performed: the data processing module calls the spectral anti-interference correction algorithm, corrects the original spectrum intensity I through the formula ; at the same time, atmospheric spectrum, soil spectrum, hydrology data and terrain slope data are fused to generate a multi-dimensional monitoring report of complex terrain; users can adjust the weight coefficient of the global path cost function according to actual needs , restart the cooperative monitoring operation to obtain more accurate target area data.
