The embodiment of the invention discloses a
lightning electromagnetic wave waveform identification method and related equipment, and the method comprises the steps: calling a plurality of typical reference waveform sequences from a preset
reference type library, calculating a similarity measurement value of a sampling sequence and each reference waveform sequence, and taking a difference value between a similarity maximum value and a similarity secondary maximum value as a judgment basis. Parameters such as waveform amplitude, pulse width and rising edge do not need to be used for judgment, misjudgment easily generated when different types of waveform feature intervals are overlapped is avoided, the waveform identification accuracy is improved, meanwhile, only a preset reference waveform
library and similarity calculation logic are needed, complex model training and a large number of calculation resources are not needed, and the method is easy to implement. And rapid deployment in the low-computing-power online monitoring terminal is realized.
