[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of safety monitoring, in particular to a foreign body intrusion monitoring system, and in particular to a foreign body intrusion monitoring system for engineering construction and road perimeters. Background Art
[0002] During railway construction, the construction site often has a spatial intersection with existing bridges and tunnels. Large machinery (excavators, cranes, etc.) in construction can easily collide and damage existing bridges, tunnels or other facilities. Even if the operators are experienced, such collision damage is difficult to avoid due to factors such as ambient lighting and their own fatigue.
[0003] Although my country's high-speed railway lines are basically in a closed operation state, in some bridge and tunnel sections, it is very easy for people to intrude or other means of intrusion to occur, such as falling rocks at tunnel entrances near mountains and landslides in dangerous sections, which seriously endanger the safety of railway operations.
[0004] Accidents are frequent in my country's highway traffic, often causing great losses to people's lives and property. In some accident-prone sections, such as urban road intersections, mountain road turning sections, rural road village intersections, etc., traffic accidents are very likely to occur due to the driver's visual blind spots.

[0075] Embodiment 2
[0076] See also Figures 3 to 5 Taking the railway perimeter foreign object intrusion monitoring as an example, the specific deployment scenario of the system, the conditions required for the normal operation of the system, and the specific operation steps are explained.
[0077] The system is deployed at a certain section of the railway perimeter that needs to be monitored. The specific deployment diagram is as follows: Figure 3 The upper left corner of the picture shows the deployed monitoring system. The camera and lidar illumination area is the oval gray area. The main monitoring intrusion target is the person who enters the railway perimeter without permission.
[0078] For the normal operation of the system, it is first necessary to collect the background data of the system within the railway perimeter monitoring range, that is, the image video data and point cloud data without the intrusion of irrelevant personnel, so as to pre-process the data by the data pre-processing unit of the system.
[0079] Then, the target tracking and recognition unit obtains the result of human target recognition and tracking. Figure 4 shown.
[0080] For image data, the results of single human target recognition and tracking are expressed as a two-dimensional bounding box and a two-dimensional tracking path in the image, and its position in the image can be expressed in the form of two-dimensional coordinates u, v. For point cloud data, the results of single human target recognition and tracking are expressed as a three-dimensional bounding box and a three-dimensional tracking path in the point cloud, and its position in the point cloud can be expressed in the form of three-dimensional coordinates x, y, z. Among them, the bounding box reflects the position of the target in the image or point cloud, and the tracking path reflects the movement of the target.
[0081] Next, the coordinate system alignment unit aligns the bounding box and path of the point cloud recognition and tracking results with the image tracking results, and outputs the three-dimensional bounding box and three-dimensional tracking path marked in the image data, which are represented by the aligned three-dimensional coordinate points X, Y, and Z, as shown in Figure 5 shown.
[0082] Afterwards, the fusion judgment unit judges the tracking result based on the database, determines whether the current human target has entered the monitoring area in the railway perimeter after permission, and gives whether it is necessary to output warning information at present.
[0083] The display unit can display Figure 5 The remote communication unit will also transmit the display content of the display unit to the remote server in real time for the staff to view.
[0084] Although the target recognition and tracking method in this example is mainly for human targets, the system can be easily extended to the recognition and tracking of other dynamic targets. In addition, this project solution combines video target recognition, which should be able to further improve the target recognition accuracy and effectively avoid the misrecognition phenomenon of pure point cloud data.
[0085] The utility model installs an intrusion monitoring system on existing facilities or large-scale machinery, utilizes the detection information output by vision, radar and other equipment, effectively identifies obstacles through edge computing, and establishes a collision warning prompt system, which can effectively avoid collision accidents during construction; through vision (visible light, infrared), radar (lidar, millimeter wave radar) and other technologies, an intrusion monitoring system for key areas is established, which can detect the type of intrusion target in time when there is foreign body intrusion, and can take corresponding measures to ensure the safe and orderly operation of the railway system, which is very necessary.
