[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent sensing and environmental monitoring, and in particular to an intelligent real-time humidity monitoring system based on biomimetic flexible sensing, which is suitable for accurate humidity monitoring in various scenarios such as industrial environment, agricultural planting, and smart home. Background Technology

[0002] Humidity monitoring is a core component of environmental perception and intelligent control. Traditional humidity sensors are mostly rigid structures, which have problems such as poor adaptability and weak surface fit. While biomimetic flexible double-layer sensors have the advantages of flexible fit and high sensitivity, their output signals have significant nonlinear characteristics and are easily affected by environmental interference, resulting in noise and insufficient humidity detection accuracy.

[0003] Existing humidity monitoring systems largely rely on single signal acquisition and simple algorithm processing, lacking a dedicated data processing system for the nonlinear characteristics of flexible sensors. This makes it difficult to effectively extract the core features of the sensor response, and they suffer from large model prediction errors and slow inference speeds, failing to meet real-time monitoring needs. Furthermore, traditional monitoring systems have rudimentary interfaces and low data visualization capabilities, unable to achieve real-time access to sensor data and dynamic display of monitoring results, resulting in poor engineering feasibility. With the development of flexible sensing technology and machine learning, the research and development of dedicated algorithms and integrated monitoring systems for biomimetic flexible sensors has become a trend. However, a complete humidity monitoring system covering data acquisition, algorithm analysis, model prediction, and system development has not yet been established, making it difficult to fully leverage the technological advantages of biomimetic flexible sensors.

Currently, accurate real-time monitoring of environmental humidity has become an important requirement in the field of intelligent sensing.

Therefore, we designed an intelligent real-time humidity monitoring system based on bionic flexible sensing, built a full-process data processing and analysis system, combined with machine learning to achieve accurate real-time humidity prediction, completed the front-end and back-end system development and engineering implementation, effectively solved the problems of difficult signal processing, low monitoring accuracy, and poor real-time performance of flexible sensors, and improved the technical level and engineering application capabilities of intelligent humidity monitoring.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the entire system consists of a biomimetic flexible sensing module, a data acquisition module, an algorithm processing module, a model prediction module, and a smart terminal interaction module; and as... Figure 2 As shown, the algorithm processing module covers three core processes: image preprocessing, feature extraction, and noise filtering; as Figure 3 As shown, the model prediction module includes four workflows: dataset construction, model training, hyperparameter optimization, and real-time inference.

[0020] As shown in Figure 3, the biomimetic flexible sensing module adopts a biomimetic flexible double-layer sensor structure. It utilizes the humidity response characteristics of flexible materials to achieve high sensitivity sensing of different humidity environments. At the same time, thanks to the flexible curved surface fitting characteristics, it can be adapted to monitoring scenarios of different shapes such as industrial pipelines, agricultural greenhouse curved surfaces, and home cabinets. The sensor outputs a visualized image signal of humidity response, providing raw data for subsequent data processing and analysis.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, the data acquisition module establishes a high-speed data transmission channel to acquire the visualized image signals output by the bionic flexible sensor in real time. The raw image data is transmitted to the algorithm processing module without delay or loss, while the initial classification and storage of the data are achieved. This ensures the integrity, real-time performance, and orderliness of the data acquisition, laying the foundation for subsequent algorithm processing.

[0022] like Figure 2As shown, the algorithm processing module first performs image preprocessing, using traditional digital image algorithms to sequentially perform grayscale normalization on the sensor response visualization image to eliminate image brightness differences; then it performs adaptive threshold segmentation to achieve accurate separation between the sensor response area and the background area; finally, it performs morphological filtering to effectively eliminate salt-and-pepper noise and Gaussian noise in the image, significantly improving the quality of the sensor response image.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the algorithm processing module independently designed a curvature recognition algorithm. Combining high-quality image data after image preprocessing, it innovatively extracts multi-dimensional feature parameters such as surface curvature and texture distribution of the image based on the curved surface characteristics of the biomimetic flexible sensor.

Through data cleaning, precise noise filtering, and feature standardization, the quality of the dataset is optimized to ensure its diversity and effectiveness, providing solid data support for machine learning model training.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the model prediction module is based on the Python development environment. It builds various machine learning regression models and conducts comparative training. The input feature set is further optimized through feature selection algorithm. Hyperparameter optimization is carried out by methods such as grid search and random search. After multiple rounds of iterative optimization of the model, the optimal model architecture is finally determined, which realizes accurate prediction and real-time inference of humidity data. The model prediction average absolute error is as low as 1.8% RH, and the single-frame inference time is <35ms, which meets the performance requirements of real-time monitoring.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent terminal interaction module independently completes the integrated front-end and back-end development. The back-end uses the Flask framework to build a lightweight service, achieving seamless integration with the data acquisition module and model prediction module, supporting real-time access to biomimetic flexible sensor data and rapid transmission of humidity prediction results. The front-end develops a visual interactive interface, designing functions such as real-time display of humidity data, historical trend curves, and abnormal warning prompts, realizing dynamic visualization of online humidity prediction and monitoring results, and improving the user experience.
