The invention discloses a river surface flow
velocity measurement method and
system based on physical constraint and multi-
modal fusion, and relates to the technical field of multi-
modal data processing, a target area is determined, and river surface
image sequence data, depth information and environment data of the target area are acquired; preprocessing the collected data, embedding redundant codes in data representation, and synthesizing to form a basic
data set; and based on the basic
data set, performing preliminary
optical flow estimation on the river surface
image sequence data by using an
optical flow method. According to the method,
optical flow information, depth information and environment data are fused, comprehensive utilization of multi-
source data is achieved, in the data fusion process, redundant codes in data representation are combined for
error detection and correction, error points in the data are effectively recognized and corrected, the reliability and accuracy of the data are improved, and the data fusion efficiency is improved. And by utilizing a multi-
modal data fusion and error correction mechanism, the robustness of the
system is remarkably enhanced, so that the
system can stably operate in a complex and changeable river environment.
