Abstract
Description
Forest point cloud reconstruction method and system based on the combination of handheld radar and drone Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of remote sensing technology, and in particular to a forest point cloud reconstruction method and system based on the combination of a handheld radar and an unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art
[0002] Remote sensing is a technique used to observe and measure features of the Earth's surface using sensor data acquired from a distance (for example, via satellites, aircraft, or drones). Remote sensing is particularly important in forest management and ecological monitoring because it provides an efficient means of covering and analyzing natural resources over large areas.
[0003] The forest point cloud reconstruction method based on handheld radar and drone technology combines handheld radar equipment and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology to create detailed 3D point cloud models of forest areas. A point cloud is a dataset consisting of a large number of points in space, each representing a specific location on the ground. Its primary purpose is to more accurately measure and understand the structure and dynamics of forests. This method can provide precise information on tree height, canopy density, topography, and other important ecological parameters. This method enables a more detailed observation of the forest environment, helping scientists and environmental managers better understand important ecological indicators such as forest health, biodiversity, and carbon storage capacity.
[0004] Traditional forest monitoring methods are deficient in multiple areas. They typically rely on single-frequency radar data or ground surveys, limiting the comprehensiveness and accuracy of data collection. The lack of multi-dimensional data fusion results in a less-than-in-depth understanding of the forest environment. Data preprocessing and classification methods are relatively simple and cannot effectively handle complex forest environmental data, resulting in limited accuracy in classification results and terrain feature identification. Traditional methods are generally weak in three-dimensional visualization, making it difficult to intuitively display forest structure. For predicting forest change trends, traditional methods often rely on empirical judgment and lack scientific data support and accurate predictive models, which limits the effective formulation and adjustment of forest management strategies.

[0072] Example
[0073] Referring to FIG1 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a forest point cloud reconstruction method based on a combination of a handheld radar and an unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising the following steps:
[0074] S1: Based on drones and handheld radar equipment, multi-band radar sensors are used to collect forest terrain and vegetation information and generate radar raw data;
[0075] S2: Based on the radar raw data, a generative adversarial network is used to perform data fusion and preprocessing to generate fused radar data;
[0076] S3: Based on the fused radar data, a convolutional neural network and random forest algorithm are used to perform vegetation classification and terrain feature recognition to generate forest feature data;
[0077] S4: Based on environmental monitoring sensor data, decision tree and support vector machine algorithms are used to integrate and analyze forest characteristic data to generate comprehensive environmental characteristic data;
[0078] S5: Based on the comprehensive environmental feature data combined with forest feature data, a 3D point cloud model of the forest is generated using 3D modeling technology and image processing algorithms;
[0079] S6: Based on the forest 3D point cloud model, time series analysis and long short-term memory networks are used to analyze forest cover and biomass trends and generate forest change forecast reports.
[0080] The radar raw data includes L-band, C-band and X-band radar signals, which are used to record the terrain and vegetation information of the forest area. The comprehensive environmental characteristic data is the forest characteristic analysis result combined with temperature, humidity and soil environmental parameters. The forest three-dimensional point cloud model is specifically a three-dimensional structural representation of the forest, including tree arrangement, canopy layer and terrain details. The forest change prediction report is a prediction of forest cover changes and biomass increases and decreases in future time periods, which is used to guide forest management strategies.
[0081] Multi-band radar sensors accurately capture forest terrain and vegetation information, greatly optimizing the data collection process. Leveraging advanced data processing techniques such as generative adversarial networks, convolutional neural networks, and random forest algorithms, this method effectively processes and analyzes large amounts of radar data, enabling rapid and accurate vegetation classification and terrain feature identification. This not only strengthens monitoring of forest health and biodiversity but also provides critical information for environmental protection and ecological research. Three-dimensional point cloud models of forests, created using 3D modeling and image processing techniques, not only provide intuitive analytical tools for environmental managers but also enhance public awareness of the importance of forest conservation. The application of time series analysis and long-short-term memory networks further enables the prediction of future forest trends, providing an important basis for developing effective forest management strategies.
[0082] Refer to Figure 2. Using a multi-band radar sensor, a drone and handheld radar device are used to collect forest terrain and vegetation information. The steps for generating raw radar data are as follows:
[0083] S101: Based on drones and handheld radar devices, it uses a configuration algorithm to set up L-band, C-band, and X-band radar sensors and generate multi-band radar configuration information;
[0084] S102: Based on the multi-band radar configuration information, a radar scanning path is designed using a flight planning algorithm to generate radar scanning path information;
[0085] S103: performing radar scanning based on the radar scanning path information, collecting forest terrain and vegetation information, and generating radar collection data;
[0086] S104: Based on the radar collected data, a data standardization processing algorithm is applied to perform preliminary processing to generate radar raw data.
[0087] In S101, a configuration algorithm-based approach is used to configure the L-band, C-band, and X-band radar sensors on the drone and handheld radar device. This step involves setting detailed technical parameters such as frequency range, power, and sensitivity to ensure that the multi-band radar sensors can effectively cover and scan the terrain and vegetation in the target area.
[0088] In S102, based on the multi-band radar information configured in the previous step, a flight planning algorithm is used to design the radar's scanning path. This step takes into account factors such as terrain characteristics, flight altitude, and radar coverage to ensure that the scanning path fully covers the forest area while maintaining high data collection efficiency and accuracy.
[0089] In S103, the actual radar scan operation is performed according to the planned radar scan path. During this process, the drone and handheld radar device will fly and move along the set path, while collecting information about the forest topography and vegetation. This data will include information about terrain height, vegetation density, and plant species.
[0090] In S104, the collected radar data needs to undergo preliminary processing before it can be converted into usable raw data. This step involves applying data standardization algorithms, including filtering, noise removal, and correction operations, to improve the accuracy and reliability of the data.
[0091] Refer to Figure 3. Based on the raw radar data, the generative adversarial network is used to perform data fusion and preprocessing. The specific steps for generating fused radar data are as follows:
[0092] S201: Based on the radar raw data, a data cleaning algorithm is used to remove noise to generate cleaned radar raw data;
[0093] S202: Based on the cleaned radar raw data, synchronize the differentiated frequency band data using a data alignment algorithm to generate aligned radar data;
[0094] S203: Based on the aligned radar data, applying a generative adversarial network to perform data fusion to generate radar data in fusion processing;
[0095] S204: Based on the radar data being fused, perform data optimization and enhancement processing to generate fused radar data.
[0096] In S201, a data cleaning algorithm is applied to the raw radar data to remove noise. This process includes filtering out non-target reflections (such as random noise and interference signals) and correcting for data distortions caused by equipment errors or environmental factors. The cleaned data should more accurately reflect the actual forest topography and vegetation.
[0097] In S202, a data alignment algorithm is used to synchronize the cleaned radar data from different frequency bands (e.g., L-band, C-band, and X-band). Because these data may have temporal or spatial deviations, the alignment process ensures that all frequency band data corresponds to the same time point and spatial location, enabling accurate comparison and analysis.
[0098] In S203, the aligned radar data is fused using a generative adversarial network. GAN can efficiently combine data features from different frequency bands through competitive learning between its generator and discriminator, generating richer and more accurate fused data.
[0099] In S204, further optimization and enhancement processing is performed on the fused radar data. This includes improving data resolution, enhancing the visibility of specific features (for example, improving vegetation recognition or highlighting terrain details), etc., to generate the final fused radar data, which will be used for further analysis and application.
[0100] Refer to Figure 4. Based on the fused radar data, the convolutional neural network and random forest algorithm are used to perform vegetation classification and terrain feature recognition. The specific steps for generating forest feature data are as follows:
[0101] S301: Based on the fused radar data, a noise filtering algorithm is used to perform data cleaning to generate filtered radar data;
[0102] S302: Applying a feature extraction algorithm based on the filtered radar data to extract key vegetation and terrain features and generate feature-extracted data;
[0103] S303: Based on the feature-extracted data, a random forest algorithm is used to classify vegetation types and terrains to generate classified vegetation terrain data;
[0104] S304: Based on the classified vegetation terrain data, perform detail optimization processing to improve classification accuracy and generate forest feature data.
[0105] In S301, a noise filtering algorithm is used to clean the fused radar data. This step aims to further reduce noise and interference in the data and improve data quality. The filtering algorithm can remove non-target signals based on the statistical or frequency domain characteristics of the data, thereby retaining more useful terrain and vegetation information.
[0106] In S302, a feature extraction algorithm is applied to the filtered radar data. This typically involves using a convolutional neural network. CNNs are effective in extracting key vegetation and terrain features from the data, such as tree density, tree species type, and terrain height and slope. These features are crucial for subsequent classification and recognition.
[0107] In S303, the random forest algorithm is used to classify vegetation type and terrain based on the feature-extracted data. As a powerful ensemble learning method, random forest processes a large number of features and provides accurate classification results. This improves overall classification accuracy by building multiple decision trees and integrating the prediction results.
[0108] In S304, detailed optimization processing is performed based on the classified vegetation and terrain data. This step involves fine-tuning the parameters of the classification model to improve classification accuracy. It also includes using additional machine learning techniques (such as deep learning model fine-tuning and data augmentation) to further improve model performance.
[0109] Refer to Figure 5. Based on the environmental monitoring sensor data, the decision tree and support vector machine algorithms are used to integrate and analyze the forest characteristic data to generate comprehensive environmental characteristic data. The specific steps are as follows:
[0110] S401: Based on the environmental monitoring sensor data, preprocessing is performed using a data synchronization and standardization algorithm to generate standardized environmental data;
[0111] S402: Based on the standardized environmental data, a data fusion algorithm is applied to integrate the data with the forest characteristic data to generate preliminary integrated environmental characteristic data;
[0112] S403: Based on the initially integrated environmental feature data, a decision tree algorithm is used to deeply analyze the relationship between environmental parameters and vegetation topography to generate decision tree analysis data;
[0113] S404: Based on the decision tree analysis data, support vector machine algorithm is used to optimize and integrate the data to generate comprehensive environmental feature data.
[0114] In S401, data synchronization and standardization algorithms are used to pre-process environmental monitoring sensor data. This step ensures that data generated by different sensors have consistent timestamps and the same data standards, facilitating subsequent data fusion and integrated analysis.
[0115] In S402, standardized environmental data is integrated with forest characteristic data using a data fusion algorithm. Data fusion can be used to combine environmental monitoring data and forest characteristic data into preliminary integrated environmental characteristic data through methods such as weighted averaging and feature combination. This helps comprehensively consider information from different data sources and improves the quality and reliability of the integrated data.
[0116] In S403, based on the initially integrated environmental feature data, a decision tree algorithm is used to further analyze the relationship between environmental parameters and vegetation and topography. Decision trees can identify key environmental features and make hierarchical decisions based on these features, helping to understand the complex relationships between environmental parameters and vegetation and topography. The resulting decision tree analysis data will serve as input for the subsequent support vector machine algorithm.
[0117] In S404, based on the decision tree analysis data, a support vector machine algorithm is used to optimize and integrate the data. By constructing decision boundaries in a high-dimensional space, support vector machines can effectively handle nonlinear relationships and optimize the accuracy of the integrated data. This step helps further refine the relationship between environmental characteristics and vegetation and terrain, generating the final comprehensive environmental characteristic data.
[0118] Please refer to Figure 6. Based on the comprehensive environmental feature data and forest feature data, a 3D point cloud model of the forest is created using 3D modeling technology and image processing algorithms. The specific steps for generating the 3D point cloud model of the forest are as follows:
[0119] S501: Based on the comprehensive environmental characteristic data and forest characteristic data, data fusion technology is used to merge the information and generate fusion modeling data;
[0120] S502: Based on the fused modeling data, a preliminary 3D point cloud model is constructed using 3D reconstruction technology to generate a preliminary 3D model;
[0121] S503: Based on the preliminary three-dimensional model, use multi-scale analysis technology to refine the model and generate a refined three-dimensional model;
[0122] S504: Based on the refined 3D model, rendering and refinement processing are performed to generate a 3D point cloud model of the forest.
[0123] In S501, data fusion technology is used to combine the comprehensive environmental and forest characteristics data. This step is fundamental to the entire process, ensuring that the resulting fused modeling data not only includes the physical characteristics of the forest, such as tree species, height, and density, but also incorporates environmental data such as soil type and climate conditions.
[0124] In S502, based on the fused modeling data, 3D reconstruction technology is applied to construct a preliminary 3D point cloud model. In this stage, specialized software or algorithms, such as laser scanning data processing and computer vision technology, are used to create a rough 3D representation.
[0125] In S503, based on the preliminary 3D model, multi-scale analysis techniques are used to refine the model. This step involves enhancing model details, such as the texture of tree branches and trunks. Multi-scale analysis helps understand and represent the structure of the forest at different levels, making the model more accurate and realistic.
[0126] In S504, rendering and refinement processing is performed based on the refined 3D model. This step includes adjusting lighting effects, color correction, texture mapping, etc. to enhance the visual effect and realism of the model.
[0127] Refer to Figure 7. Based on the forest 3D point cloud model, time series analysis and long short-term memory networks are used to analyze forest cover and biomass trends and generate a forest change forecast report. The specific steps are as follows:
[0128] S601: Based on the forest 3D point cloud model, time series data preprocessing technology is used to generate preprocessed time series data;
[0129] S602: Based on the preprocessed time series data, an autoregressive moving average model is applied to identify trends and generate trend analysis results;
[0130] S603: Based on the trend analysis results, use the long short-term memory network to perform deep time series analysis and generate deep time series analysis data;
[0131] S604: Based on the deep time series analysis data, execute prediction model construction and generate a forest change prediction report.
[0132] In S601, time series data preprocessing techniques are applied based on the 3D forest point cloud model. This step includes data cleaning (such as removing noise and handling missing values), data normalization, and seasonal adjustment to generate preprocessed time series data. The preprocessed data should reflect changes in forest cover and biomass over time.
[0133] In S602, based on the pre-processed time series data, an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model is applied to identify and analyze trends in the data. This step aims to identify long-term trends or cyclical patterns in the data, thereby providing preliminary trend analysis results.
[0134] In S603, based on the trend analysis results from the ARMA model, a long short-term memory network is used to perform deep time series analysis. LSTM networks are particularly well-suited for processing and predicting long-term dependencies in time series data. This approach allows for more accurate analysis and prediction of forest cover and biomass trends over time, generating deep time series analysis data.
[0135] In S604, a prediction model is constructed based on the deep time series analysis data to generate a forest change forecast report. This report will include predictions of future forest cover and biomass changes, helping to formulate conservation strategies or management decisions.
[0136] Please refer to Figure 8, which shows a forest point cloud reconstruction system based on the combination of handheld radar and drone. The forest point cloud reconstruction system based on the combination of handheld radar and drone is used to execute the above-mentioned forest point cloud reconstruction method based on the combination of handheld radar and drone. The system includes a radar data acquisition module, a data fusion and preprocessing module, a vegetation and terrain classification module, an environmental feature integrated analysis module, a three-dimensional point cloud modeling module, a time series analysis module, and a prediction model construction module.
[0137] The radar data acquisition module is based on drones and handheld radar devices. It uses frequency band selection and configuration algorithms to set multi-band radar sensors, executes trajectory planning algorithms to design flight paths, and generates radar data.
[0138] The data fusion and preprocessing module uses signal enhancement and data cleaning algorithms to preprocess radar data, and then uses a generative adversarial network to achieve data fusion and generate fused radar data.
