2. The artificial intelligence water supply and drainage system based on 3D CNN multimodal mixed reality technology and blockchain technology as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification task includes: Step a identifies and selects relevant features extracted from the 3D CNN, which may include spatiotemporal features from multimodal data sources, and divides the dataset into training and testing subsets to ensure that the model can generalize well to unseen data. Step b involves selecting a suitable kernel function (such as linear basis, polynomial basis, or radial basis) based on the nature of the data and the complexity of the classification task, and optimizing hyperparameters, such as the regularization parameter (C) and kernel parameters (e.g., gamma of the RBF kernel), using techniques such as grid search or random search. Step c uses the training dataset to train the SVM model, where the model learns to distinguish different categories (e.g., normal, warning, critical state of the drainage system), and implements k-fold cross-validation to evaluate the model's performance and reduce the risk of overfitting. Step d uses the trained SVM model to classify the input data in real time, provides immediate feedback on the state of the drainage system, analyzes the decision boundary created by the support vector machine, and understands the contribution of different features to the classification. Step e uses metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and ROC-AUC to evaluate the model's performance to ensure it meets the standards required by the application, visualizes the classification results using a confusion matrix, and identifies areas for improvement. Step f integrates the SVM classification results into the mixed reality environment, allowing users to visualize the status of the drainage system and any alarms or warnings in a more intuitive way. This enables users to interact with the classification results and provides options for more in-depth analysis or further action based on the system status. Step g implements a feedback mechanism where users can provide insights about the classification results, allowing for model adjustments and improvements. The SVM model is periodically updated and retrained with new data to adapt to the constantly changing conditions in the drainage system.
3. The artificial intelligence water supply and drainage system based on 3D CNN multimodal mixed reality technology and blockchain technology as described in claim 2, characterized in that, Extracting spatiotemporal features from video and sensor data using 3D CNNs includes: Step a uses 3D convolutional layers to process video frames, allowing the model to capture spatial (width and height) and temporal (time) information. This helps to understand how the state of the drainage system changes over time, extracting features representing motion and change in the scene, such as flow patterns, water level changes, or the presence of blockages. Step b integrates data from various sensors (such as flow meters, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors) with video data to create a comprehensive feature set. This fusion enhances the model's ability to make accurate predictions, normalizes the sensor data, and ensures that different scales do not affect the feature extraction process. Step c generates 3D feature maps that encapsulate the relevant spatial and temporal features of the input data. These feature maps can highlight significant changes in the drainage system over time. Pooling operations (e.g., max pooling or average pooling) are applied to reduce the dimensionality of the feature maps while preserving the most salient information, which helps improve computational efficiency. Step d: After feature extraction, PCA or similar techniques can be used to reduce the dimensionality of the feature set while preserving variance, making it easier to use in subsequent classification tasks. This technique selects the features with the most information from the extracted set, thereby improving the performance of the classification algorithm. Step e integrates a recurrent layer (such as LSTM or GRU) to capture long-term dependencies in temporal data, especially when the system needs to analyze sequences over a longer period of time. The extracted features are used to detect specific events or anomalies in the drainage system, such as sudden changes in flow or pressure that may indicate a problem. Step f uses technology to visualize the extracted spatiotemporal features, helping operators understand key aspects of the drainage system and facilitating decision-making. The extracted features and analysis results are overlaid on a mixed reality interface to provide a more intuitive understanding of the system's status and dynamics.
4. The artificial intelligence water supply and drainage system based on 3D CNN multimodal mixed reality technology and blockchain technology as described in claim 3, characterized in that, Features from different modalities include: Step a combines the features from different modalities before inputting them into the model. This may involve concatenating feature vectors from video and sensor data. Step b processes each modality separately using a dedicated model, and then combines the prediction or feature representation in the output layer to make the final decision. Step c uses a hierarchical approach, where the characteristics of one pattern inform the processing of another, allowing for a more granular understanding of the data. Step d implements a system that can process and fuse data from various patterns in real time, providing immediate insights and alerts regarding the status of the drainage system.
5. The artificial intelligence water supply and drainage system based on 3D CNN multimodal mixed reality technology and blockchain technology as described in claim 4, characterized in that, Using blockchain technology to ensure the integrity and security of data collected from drainage systems includes: Step a utilizes the immutable ledger functionality of blockchain to record all data collected from the drainage system. Once data is written to the blockchain, it cannot be altered or deleted, ensuring the integrity of historical data. Cryptographic hashing is implemented to protect data entries. Each data block contains a hash of the previous block, thus creating a secure chain that prevents tampering. Step b stores data across a distributed network of nodes, rather than in a single centralized location. This reduces the risk of data loss or unauthorized access due to single points of failure, and uses smart contracts to define and enforce access control policies. Only authorized users and systems can access or modify data, ensuring that sensitive information is protected. Step c involves using a consensus algorithm (e.g., Proof-of-Work, Proof-of-Stake) to verify new data entries before adding them to the blockchain. This ensures that only accurate and verified data is recorded, and utilizes machine learning techniques to detect anomalies in the data collection process. If inconsistencies are found, the system can flag the data for review before recording it on the blockchain. Step d involves multi-factor authentication for users accessing the system to enhance security, prevent unauthorized access, and implement role-based access control to ensure that users can only access the data and functions required by their roles. Step e involves creating redundant backups of blockchain data across multiple nodes to ensure data availability and recovery capabilities in the event of system failures, and developing and implementing a disaster recovery plan to restore data and system functionality in the event of catastrophic failures or data loss.
