Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of artificial intelligence and physical signal processing technology, specifically to a method, system, and platform for generating AI virtual multi-source signals driven by a physically homogeneous single-modal signal. It is particularly suitable for testing scenarios with stringent requirements for signal reliability, hardware cost, and deployment efficiency, such as industrial non-destructive testing, rail transportation, aerospace, and power equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Existing multimodal signal acquisition suffers from two unavoidable technical drawbacks: (1) Multiple hardware sensors are costly, complex to deploy, asynchronous in timing, and spatially misaligned, and are easily subject to environmental and structural limitations; (2) Pure data-driven AI generation does not embed physical constraints during the training phase. The output signal violates physical laws, is unreliable and inexplicable, and cannot be used in high-security scenarios. Existing physical information neural networks (PINNs) are mainly used to solve forward / inverse problems of physical equations, and are not designed for the task of "generating another synchronous multimodal signal from a single mode". Therefore, they cannot directly solve the needs of low-cost, synchronous, and reliable virtual multi-source generation in industrial detection. The essential difference between it and PINN This invention differs fundamentally from physical information neural networks. Existing technologies such as PINN are mainly used to solve for the distribution of a single physical field under known physical equations and boundary conditions, and their physical residual constraints are used to approximate the exact solution of the equation. This invention aims to solve the specific task of cross-modal signal generation. The physical constraints are not used to solve a single physical field, but to force the transformation relationship between different physical modes to conform to the field coupling mechanism. The constraint objectives, mathematical expressions, optimization objectives and application scenarios are all fundamentally different. Therefore, the core of this invention lies in systematically embedding complex cross-modal physical coupling relationships into a general generative AI framework for the first time in the form of a differentiable, optimizable, and trainable loss function. This solves the specific technical problem of "directly constraining and guiding cross-modal signal generation with physical laws," and is not a simple application or extension of methods such as PINN. Summary of the Invention

[0003] 1. Technical problems to be solved (1) The problems of high cost, difficult deployment, and inability to strictly collect data synchronously from the same source by multiple hardware sensors; (2) Multi-physics coupling brings problems such as electromagnetic interference, signal distortion, and low signal-to-noise ratio; (3) The problem of difficulty in deploying multiple sensors in extreme scenarios such as confined spaces, high temperatures and high pressures; (4) Pure data-driven AI generates problems such as lack of physical constraints, unreliable signals, and unusable for high-reliability detection; (5) The problem that physical laws are difficult to compute, quantify, and forcibly embed into the AI ​​training process; (6) Virtual multi-source signals cannot achieve physical homogeneity, spatiotemporal synchronization, and physical reasonable generation; (7) The existing PINN is only used for solving equations and does not have the ability to generate virtual data across modes. 2. Quantitative Modeling Methods for Physical Laws This invention transforms inherent, unified physical laws into computable constraints, including one or more of the following: (1) Partial Differential Equation (PDE) Residual Method: Discretize the physical control equations and use the residuals as loss terms; (2) Conservation constraint method: The conservation laws of mass, energy, momentum, etc. are expressed as equations or inequalities; for example, the conservation of energy can be quantified as: L_physics_E = |Σ(E_input) − Σ(E_virtual)|²; (3) Constitutive relation embedding method: The field coupling, stress-strain and other relationships are used as network output constraints. 3. Overview of Technical Solution Implementation The core process of this invention is as follows: Single-modal signal acquisition → Physical constraint modeling → Construction of joint loss function → Generative AI training → Virtual multi-source signal generation → Physical consistency verification and adaptive calibration. Its core lies in transforming abstract physical laws into trainable mathematical constraints, forcing the model to learn the physical relationships between modes, rather than simply fitting the statistical distribution of data. 4. Beneficial effects (1) Hardware cost reduction of 80%–95%: Based on the comparison of the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the present invention (single sensor + algorithm) and high-end multi-sensor fusion system under the same detection performance; (2) Synchronization accuracy improved by 1–2 orders of magnitude: virtual signals are naturally homogeneous and have no timing offset; (3) Signal-to-noise ratio improvement of 3–10 dB: derived from the statistical average value of actual measurements in the examples; (4) Virtual signal credibility ≥ 95%: average matching degree of virtual and real signal features; (5) Generalization ability improved by more than 50%: On the new defect / new working condition test set, the performance degradation of the present invention is more than 50% lower than that of the pure data-driven baseline model; (6) Physical constraints force embedded training, and the signals are interpretable and verifiable; (7) It can be used in extreme scenarios such as confined spaces, high temperature and high pressure. 5. Physical consistency verification and adaptive calibration The consistency verification module calculates the theoretical physical parameters of the generated virtual signal and jointly backpropagates the error with the model input. The verification result serves as a trigger signal to guide the next round of data acquisition or model fine-tuning, achieving closed-loop adaptive calibration. 6 Systems and Platforms A physical homogeneous single-modal driven AI virtual multi-source signal generation system includes: a data acquisition module, a physical law constraint modeling module, an AI training and inference module, a virtual multi-source generation module, a physical consistency verification module, and a feedback calibration module. Each module is connected sequentially according to the data flow direction.
