Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seabed high conductivity target detection technology, and in particular to a method for extracting transient electromagnetic features of seabed high conductivity targets and a differential background suppression decision method. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous growth in demand for marine resource development and utilization, subsea engineering construction, subsea pipeline operation and maintenance, and underwater security, the detection and identification of underwater unexploded ordnance, sunken metallic objects, and other highly conductive targets on the seabed has become increasingly important. Among them, underwater unexploded ordnance is characterized by high conductivity and small size. Its burial state and spatial attitude are uncertain, and it is often located in a conductive background formed by the coupling of seawater and sediment layers, which brings significant technical challenges to the interpretation of target electromagnetic response and accurate identification of anomalies.

[0003] Acoustic detection and passive magnetic detection are conventional techniques for underwater target detection, but their applications have significant limitations: acoustic detection is susceptible to sound scattering characteristics, multipath propagation effects, and environmental noise interference, resulting in insufficient detection stability; passive magnetic detection is only sensitive to ferromagnetic targets, and its target identification capability decreases significantly in complex magnetic backgrounds or weak magnetic target scenarios. Transient electromagnetic methods, by exciting conductive targets with artificial field sources to generate induced eddy currents, can induce a clear secondary field response in highly conductive metallic targets, possessing the technical advantage of being suitable for detecting underwater unexploded ordnance and various highly conductive targets.

[0004] Current research on transient electromagnetic detection of unexploded ordnance underwater mainly focuses on target identification, parameter inversion, or response characteristic modeling under ideal conditions. It has not yet systematically established the correspondence between target attitude, burial depth, and secondary field spatial response images in underwater environments. In the center loop point-by-point scanning detection mode, changes in target tilt angle, rotation angle, and burial depth couple and affect the peak response distribution, principal axis direction, and amplitude attenuation law. Relying solely on response images or curves for qualitative judgment cannot provide a stable and reliable basis for target attitude identification and burial depth estimation.

[0005] The transient electromagnetic field signal observed underwater in practice is composed of the target's secondary field response and the background responses of seawater and sediment layers. Symmetrical measurement point differential processing can reduce the smoothing background interference caused by near-common modes in space, but its effectiveness is highly dependent on the lateral uniformity of the background field. When there are significant undulations in the seabed topography, changes in the electrical properties of the sediment layer, or significant lateral differences in water depth, background interference is easily retained after differential processing, and even false anomalies may occur, misleading the target identification results. Meanwhile, traditional data processing workflows rely excessively on human experience, independently interpreting indicators such as response images, attenuation amplitude, and differential residues, making it difficult to form a unified and stable processing scheme under multi-parameter and multi-background conditions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to construct an integrated processing method that can simultaneously achieve target response feature extraction, depth-based attenuation relationship characterization, and differential background suppression applicability evaluation, and rely on intelligent analysis agents to complete multi-feature fusion reasoning and auxiliary decision-making.

[0006] Artificial intelligence technology has been widely applied in fields such as target recognition, signal processing, and intelligent decision-making. However, for the transient electromagnetic detection scenario of underwater unexploded ordnance, a single response amplitude, a single set of differential results, or a single type of image feature cannot fully characterize the target state and the degree of background interference. In the context of complex seawater-sediment layers, the coupled effects of factors such as target attitude, burial depth, background lateral non-uniformity, and observation noise further increase the difficulty of response interpretation. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for extracting transient electromagnetic features of highly conductive targets on the seabed and for differential background suppression decision-making, thereby solving the aforementioned technical problems.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a method for extracting transient electromagnetic features of highly conductive seabed targets and for differential background suppression decision-making, comprising the following steps: S1. Set the seabed exploration environment parameters, high-conductivity target parameters, and transient electromagnetic observation parameters of the center loop, and determine the exploration background consisting of the seawater layer and sediment layer; S2. Based on the transient electromagnetic observation parameters of the center loop determined in S1, the transmitting coil and receiving coil deployed at the same point are moved synchronously using the point-by-point scanning method of the center loop to obtain the transient electromagnetic total field response data of each measuring point in the measuring line or measuring area. S3. Based on the transient electromagnetic observation parameters of the center loop determined in S1, perform the primary field calculation of the circular loop. Combined with the orthogonal magnetic dipole equivalent model, decompose the high-conductivity target on the seabed into three mutually orthogonal magnetic moment components, and calculate the secondary field response data of the high-conductivity target on the seabed. S4. Based on the secondary field response data of the high-conductivity target on the seabed obtained in S3, extract the peak distribution pattern, principal axis direction and component amplitude characteristics of the response of the high-conductivity target on the seabed under different tilt and rotation angles to form a target attitude response feature set. S5. Based on the secondary field response data of the high-conductivity target on the seabed obtained in S3, extract the maximum amplitude of the target response under different burial depth conditions and complete the normalization process, establish the empirical exponential decay relationship between the peak value of the target response and the burial depth, and determine the burial depth attenuation coefficient. S6. Based on the transient electromagnetic total field response data obtained in S2, select measurement points that are symmetrical about the center of the measurement line or the target projection position, perform differential post-processing of symmetrical measurement points, and obtain differential processed response data. S7. Based on the seabed exploration environment parameters determined in S1, a simplified background field model is constructed, and the background lateral non-uniform intensity is quantified. Combined with the differential processing response data obtained in S6, the maximum amplitude of the background before differential processing, the maximum amplitude of the residual background after differential processing, and the maximum amplitude of the target anomaly after differential processing are determined. S8. Based on the various amplitude parameters obtained in S7, calculate the residual ratio, background suppression rate and target anomaly contrast, quantitatively evaluate the applicability of differential post-processing for symmetrical measurement points, and form a set of differential applicability evaluation indicators. S9. Construct an intelligent analysis agent for seabed transient electromagnetic detection. The target attitude response feature set obtained in S4, the burial depth attenuation coefficient obtained in S5, the differential applicability evaluation index set obtained in S8, the center loop transient electromagnetic observation parameters determined in S1, and the detection environment noise level are fused from multiple sources to generate a unified fused feature vector. S10, based on the fused feature vector obtained from S9, uses an intelligent analysis agent to perform rule-based reasoning, machine learning discrimination, and credibility assessment, outputting the attitude discrimination result of the high-conductivity target on the seabed, burial depth level, target anomaly visibility level, differential processing credibility, background suppression strategy, and observation parameter adjustment suggestions.

[0009] Therefore, the present invention employs the above-mentioned transient electromagnetic feature extraction and differential background suppression decision-making method for high-conductivity targets on the seabed, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. Establish a quantitative correspondence between the attitude of underwater high-conductivity targets and the secondary field response images, providing a stable and reliable basis for target attitude recognition.

[0010] 2. Construct an empirical index decay model for burial depth to achieve a quantitative characterization of the response amplitude as a function of burial depth, providing a quantitative reference for estimating the target burial depth level; 3. Using symmetrical measurement point difference as a post-processing method for scanning data can effectively reduce the spatial common mode smoothing background and highlight local target anomalies; 4. By using three indicators—residual ratio, background suppression rate, and target anomaly contrast—the applicable boundaries of differential background suppression are clarified to avoid false anomalies and misjudgments in strong non-uniform backgrounds. 5. The technical process is clear and standardized, and can be adapted to the detection, interpretation and background suppression of various small-scale high-conductivity targets such as underwater unexploded ordnance, seabed pipelines, and sunken metal objects; 6. Relying on intelligent analysis agents to complete multi-source feature fusion reasoning, replacing independent judgment based on human experience, and forming a unified and stable intelligent processing decision; 7. The intelligent agent can output differential processing credibility, background suppression strategy and observation parameter adjustment suggestions, forming an iteratively optimized auxiliary decision-making system, which greatly improves the detection adaptability to complex seabed environments.

[0058] When the target has abnormal contrast Less than the preset contrast threshold or residual ratio When the residual value exceeds the preset residual threshold, the intelligent analysis agent outputs results with a strong background residual influence and provides suggestions such as reducing the weight of the differential results, using background modeling correction, adjusting the survey line layout, changing the time channel, or adding retest points.

[0059] It should be noted that the method described in this invention can be used for interpreting the transient electromagnetic response characteristics of underwater unexploded ordnance, underwater high-conductivity metal targets, seabed pipelines or other small-scale high-conductivity targets, evaluating target visibility, selecting background suppression processing parameters, and intelligent auxiliary decision-making.

[0060] Example This embodiment uses an underwater unexploded ordnance target as an example for illustration.

[0061] Table 1 Observation System and Target Parameters

[0062] First, according to... Figure 2 The observation system shown performs a point-by-point scan of the center loop to obtain the response at each measuring point. Then press as follows Figure 3 As shown, the unexploded ordnance target is equivalent to three mutually orthogonal magnetic dipole components, and the target tilt angle is changed. Slew angle The structure of the secondary field response was analyzed. The results show that the tilt angle mainly affects the peak distribution pattern of the response, the rotation angle mainly controls the direction of the principal axis of the response, and the vertical component has a strong indicative effect on attitude changes.

[0063] Secondly, the maximum amplitude of the response under different burial depths was extracted and normalized, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0064] Table 2. Statistics of normalized maximum response amplitude under different burial depths

[0065] As shown in Table 2, when the burial depth increases from 0.5m to 2.0m, the normalized maximum response amplitude decreases from 1.00 to approximately 0.10, a decrease of about one order of magnitude. Substituting into... Figure 4 The empirical exponential decay relationship shown can be obtained This indicates that, under the observation parameters of this embodiment, for every 1m increase in burial depth, the peak response decreases to approximately 21% of its original value.

[0066] Finally, based on, as Figure 5 The symmetrical measurement point differential approach shown here performs post-processing on the data after completing the point-by-point scanning, and utilizes methods such as... Figure 6 The indicators shown evaluate the applicability of the differential method. Lateral non-uniform intensity is set. The values ​​of 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 correspond to horizontal layered, weakly non-uniform, moderately non-uniform, and strongly non-uniform backgrounds, respectively. The quantitative evaluation results are shown in Table 3.

[0067] Table 3. Evaluation results of the applicability of differential methods under different background non-uniform intensity.

[0068] Table 3 shows that under a horizontally layered background, the residual ratio is close to 0, and the background suppression rate is close to 100%, indicating that the symmetrical measurement point difference can effectively weaken the smooth common-mode background; with As the ratio increases, the residual ratio gradually rises, while the background suppression rate and target anomaly contrast decrease. When When the target anomaly contrast drops to 0.72, it indicates that the background residue may exceed the target differential anomaly, and the reliability of differential post-processing decreases significantly at this point.

[0069] After obtaining the quantitative results shown in Tables 2 and 3, the target response peak structure, normalized maximum response amplitude, burial depth attenuation coefficient, residual ratio, background suppression rate, and target anomaly contrast are input as follows: Figure 7 The intelligent analysis agent shown first determines the target's attitude change characteristics based on the peak distribution pattern and the principal axis direction of the response, and then determines them based on Anorm and Determine the target burial depth level, and finally based on , and Determine the reliability of the differential background suppression results.

[0070] For example, when hour, , , The agent determines that the background has weak lateral non-uniformity, the target anomaly visibility is high, and the post-processing results of symmetrical measurement point difference have high reliability; when hour, , , The agent determined that background residue significantly impacts target anomaly identification and recommended reducing the weight of differential results in target interpretation, while combining background modeling correction or adding retest points for comprehensive judgment. Thus, the agent can transform the aforementioned physical response characteristics and differential applicability indicators into intelligent interpretation results and processing suggestions tailored to practical detection tasks.

[0071] The above embodiments demonstrate that the present invention can extract the secondary field response characteristics of underwater unexploded ordnance, quantitatively describe the attenuation effect of burial depth on the response amplitude, and evaluate the applicability of the symmetrical measuring point differential background suppression method under different lateral non-uniform backgrounds, thus proving the effectiveness of the present invention.

[0072] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
