In this embodiment, it is understood that the modulation intensity is related to the specific structural form of the light modulation structure, for example, different modulation intensities can be realized by designing different light modulation structures (e.g., changing the shape and/or size parameters of the light modulation structure).
In this embodiment, it can be understood that the light modulation structures at different positions on the optical filter layer 1 have different spectrum modulation effects on the incident light, and the modulation intensities of the light modulation structures on different wavelength components of the incident light correspond to the connection intensities of the artificial neural network, that is, the input layer and the connection weights of the input layer to the linear layer. It should be noted that the optical filter layer 1 is composed of a plurality of optical filter units, and the optical modulation structures at different positions in each optical filter unit are different, so that the optical filter layer has different spectrum modulation effects on incident light; the light modulating structures at different locations between the optical filter cells may be the same or different and thus have the same or different spectral modulation effect on the incident light.

In addition, it should be noted that the processor 3 may be implemented by a computer, may also be implemented by an ARM or FPGA circuit board having a certain operation capability, and may also be implemented by a microprocessor, which is not limited in this embodiment. In addition, as mentioned above, the processor 3 may be integrated into the environmental monitoring chip or may be disposed separately from the environmental monitoring chip. When the processor 3 is arranged outside the environmental protection monitoring chip, the electrical signal in the image sensor 2 can be read out to the processor 3 through the signal reading circuit, and then the processor 3 performs full connection processing and nonlinear activation processing on the read electrical signal.
In this embodiment, it can be understood that, when performing the nonlinear activation processing, the processor 3 may be implemented by using a nonlinear activation function, for example, a Sigmoid function, a Tanh function, a ReLU function, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.
In this embodiment, the optical filter layer 1 corresponds to an input layer of the artificial neural network and a connection weight from the input layer to a linear layer, the image sensor 2 corresponds to the linear layer of the artificial neural network, and converts information carried by incident light at different spatial position points into an electrical signal, the processor 3 corresponds to a nonlinear layer and an output layer of the artificial neural network, and fully connects the electrical signals at different positions, and obtains an output signal of the artificial neural network through a nonlinear activation function, thereby realizing identification processing of environmental pollutants.

As shown in the right side of FIG. 2, the spectrum P of the incident light at different positions of the optical filter layer 1 λ Photocurrent response I of projection/connection to image sensor N The processor 3 comprises a signal reading circuit and a computer, the signal reading circuit in the processor 3 reads the photocurrent response and transmits the photocurrent response to the computer, the computer performs full connection processing and nonlinear activation processing on the electrical signal, and finally outputs the result.

In this embodiment, the incident light carrying information may include one or more (including two) of light intensity distribution information, spectrum information, angle information of the incident light, and phase information of the incident light.
For example, in one implementation, the incident light carrying information may include light intensity distribution information, and in other implementations, the environmental pollutants may be identified by simultaneously using multiple information of image information, spectrum information, angle of the incident light, and phase information of the incident light of the environmental pollutants, so that the identification of the environmental pollutants may be implemented more accurately.
Therefore, the environmental monitoring chip of the optical artificial neural network provided by the embodiment can simultaneously utilize the image information, the spectrum information, the angle of the incident light and the phase information of the incident light of the environmental pollutants, namely, the incident light at different points of the space carries information, and an artificial neural network is embedded in hardware, so that the information of the components, the image shape, the three-dimensional depth and the like of the environmental pollutants can be further extracted from the spatial image, the spectrum, the angle and the phase information, the environmental pollutants can be accurately identified and/or qualitatively analyzed, furthermore, the environment-friendly monitoring result can be accurately obtained, the embodiment of the invention can detect the environmental pollutants in a large range, is not limited to single-point measurement of the traditional environment monitoring instrument, has richer detection samples and higher accuracy, and the spectral optical artificial neural network environment-friendly monitoring chip with low power consumption, low time delay and high accuracy is realized.

In addition, it should be noted that, in the prior art, when environmental pollutants are analyzed, the method is limited to single-point measurement, the detection range is small, the sample is single, and the accuracy of the environmental monitoring result is difficult to ensure. Therefore, based on this, in one implementation manner, the incident light carrying information may include light intensity distribution information and spectrum information, so that when the optical artificial neural network environmental monitoring chip provided by the present application is used to perform an intelligent recognition task, the light intensity distribution information and the spectrum information of the environmental pollutants may be simultaneously utilized, which is visible, since the incident light carrying information covers the image, component, shape, three-dimensional depth, structure and other information of the environmental pollutants, when the incident light carrying information at different points in the environmental pollutants space is used for recognition, the image, component, shape, three-dimensional depth, structure and other multidimensional information of the environmental pollutants may be covered, thereby more accurately realizing environmental monitoring. In addition, in another implementation manner, the incident light carrying information may further include light intensity distribution information, spectral information, and angle information of the incident light, so that information such as an image, a component, a shape, a three-dimensional depth, a three-dimensional structure, and the like of the environmental pollutant can be captured more comprehensively, and thus, environmental monitoring can be achieved more accurately. In addition, in another implementation manner, the incident light carrying information may further include light intensity distribution information, spectral information, incident light angle information, and incident light phase information, so that information such as an image, a component, a shape, a three-dimensional depth, a three-dimensional structure, and the like of the environmental pollutant can be captured more comprehensively, and thus, environmental monitoring can be achieved more accurately.

Therefore, the embodiment of the invention takes the optical filter layer as the input layer of the artificial neural network, the image sensor as the linear layer of the artificial neural network, the filtering effect of the optical filter layer on the incident light entering the optical filter layer as the connection weight from the input layer to the linear layer, the incident light carrying information of the environmental pollutants is projected into an electric signal by using the optical filter layer and the image sensor, and then the full connection processing and nonlinear activation processing of the electric signal are realized in the processor, so that the embodiment of the invention not only can save the complex signal processing and algorithm processing corresponding to the input layer and the linear layer in the prior art, but also actually simultaneously utilizes the image information, the spectrum information, the angle of the incident light and the phase information of the incident light of the environmental pollutants, namely the incident light carrying information at different points of the space of the environmental pollutants, therefore, because the incident light carrying information at different points of the environment pollutant space covers the image, the composition, the shape, the three-dimensional depth, the structure and other information of the environment pollutant, when the identification processing is carried out according to the incident light carrying information at different points of the environment pollutant space, the multi-dimensional information of the image, the composition, the shape, the three-dimensional depth, the structure and the like of the environment pollutant can be covered, the environment pollutant can be accurately identified and/or qualitatively analyzed, and the environment-friendly monitoring result can be accurately obtained. Therefore, the optical artificial neural network environment-friendly monitoring chip provided by the embodiment of the invention not only can realize the effects of low power consumption and low time delay, but also can realize the effect of high accuracy.
Based on the content of the above embodiment, in this embodiment, the optical artificial neural network environmental monitoring chip includes a trained optical modulation structure, an image sensor, and a processor;
the trained optical modulation structure, the image sensor and the processor are the optical modulation structure, the image sensor and the processor which meet the training convergence condition and are obtained by training an optical artificial neural network environment-friendly monitoring chip which comprises different optical modulation structures, image sensors and processors with different full-connection parameters and different nonlinear activation parameters by using an input training sample and an output training sample which correspond to the environment-friendly monitoring intelligent processing task;
the input training sample comprises incident light reflected or transmitted or radiated by a sample having a different environmental contaminant; the output training sample includes a level of an environmental contaminant.
In this embodiment, the optical artificial neural network environmental monitoring chip can be used for an environmental monitoring intelligent processing task of environmental pollutants. In this embodiment, the reflected light, the transmitted light and/or the radiated light of the environmental pollutants enter the trained optical artificial neural network environmental monitoring chip to obtain an environmental monitoring intelligent processing result of the environmental pollutants. The environment-friendly monitoring intelligent processing result comprises an environment-friendly monitoring intelligent processing result of the environmental pollutants and/or an environmental pollution qualitative analysis result.
It can be understood that, because the filtering action of the optical filter layer on the incident light entering the optical filter layer corresponds to the connection weight from the artificial neural network input layer to the linear layer, therefore, when training, changing the optical modulation structure in the optical filter layer is equivalent to changing the connection weight from the artificial neural network input layer to the linear layer, through training convergence conditions, determining the optical modulation structure suitable for the current environment-friendly monitoring intelligent processing task, and being suitable for the full connection parameter and the nonlinear activation parameter of the current environment-friendly monitoring intelligent processing task, thereby completing the training of the optical artificial neural network environment-friendly monitoring chip.
In this embodiment, the environmental protection monitoring intelligent processing task of the environmental pollutant is taken as an example for explanation, it can be understood that, when the environmental protection monitoring intelligent processing task is performed by using the environmental protection monitoring chip, firstly, the optical artificial neural network environmental protection monitoring chip needs to be trained, where training the optical artificial neural network environmental protection monitoring chip refers to collecting a large amount of environmental pollutant samples (including air, water, soil and other samples) as a training set in the early stage, and determining the optical modulation structure applicable to the current environmental protection monitoring intelligent processing task, and the full connection parameter and the nonlinear activation parameter applicable to the current environmental protection monitoring intelligent processing task.
It can be understood that, because the filtering action of the optical filter layer on the incident light entering the optical filter layer corresponds to the connection weight from the artificial neural network input layer to the linear layer, therefore, when training, changing the optical modulation structure in the optical filter layer is equivalent to changing the connection weight from the artificial neural network input layer to the linear layer, through training convergence conditions, the optical modulation structure suitable for the current environment-friendly monitoring intelligent processing task is determined, and the full-connection parameter and the nonlinear activation parameter suitable for the current environment-friendly monitoring intelligent processing task are determined, thereby completing the training of the environment-friendly monitoring chip.
It can be understood that, the input training sample includes incident light reflected, transmitted and/or radiated by samples with different environmental pollutants, in order to accurately perform environmental monitoring, the embodiment selects samples with typical representatives in the ecological environment state, such as air samples with different environmental pollutants, water quality samples with different environmental pollutants and soil samples with different environmental pollutants, to perform training, so as to reflect the current state of the ecological environment, and then accurately train the environmental monitoring chip, so that the environmental monitoring intelligent processing result finally obtained by applying the environmental monitoring chip can accurately reflect the content of the environmental pollutants in the object to be measured (such as air, water or soil). It can be appreciated that after the environmental monitoring chip is trained, the environmental monitoring smart process task can be performed using the environmental monitoring chip. Specifically, after incident light carrying image information and spatial spectrum information of the environmental pollutants enters the optical filter layer 1 of the trained environmental monitoring chip, the optical modulation structure in the optical filter layer 1 modulates the incident light, the intensity of the modulated optical signal is detected by the image sensor 2 and converted into an electric signal, and then the processor 3 performs full connection processing and nonlinear activation processing, so that the detection result of the content of the environmental pollutants can be obtained.
As shown in fig. 4, the complete process for environmental pollution monitoring includes: the light source 200 under the detection instrument irradiates on the environmental pollutant sample 300, then the reflected light or transmitted light of the environmental pollutant is collected by the optical artificial neural network environment-friendly monitoring chip 100, or the light of the environmental pollutant directly radiating outwards is collected by the optical artificial neural network environment-friendly monitoring chip 100, and after the light is processed by the optical filter layer, the image sensor and the processor in the environment-friendly monitoring chip, the environment-friendly monitoring intelligent processing result can be obtained.
The trained optical artificial neural network environment-friendly monitoring chip comprises a trained optical modulation structure, an image sensor and a processor; the trained optical modulation structure, the image sensor and the processor are the optical modulation structure, the image sensor and the processor which meet the training convergence condition and are obtained by training an optical artificial neural network environment-friendly monitoring chip of the processor which comprises different optical modulation structures, image sensors and different full-connection parameters and nonlinear activation parameters by using an input training sample and an output training sample corresponding to the recognition processing task.
For example, for the environmental monitoring intelligent processing task, the input training sample corresponding to the environmental monitoring intelligent processing task is an environmental pollutant sample, and the output training sample corresponding to the environmental monitoring intelligent processing task is an environmental monitoring intelligent processing result of the environmental pollutant sample. It can be understood that, for the environmental monitoring intelligent processing task, since the environmental monitoring chip provided by this embodiment is also advantageous in that the image information, the spectrum information, the angle information of the incident light, and the phase information of the incident light at different points in the environmental pollutant space can be acquired, in order to fully utilize this advantage, the real environmental pollutants are preferentially adopted for the environmental pollutant sample as the input training sample, rather than the two-dimensional image of the environmental pollutants. Of course, this does not represent that the two-dimensional image may not be used as an environmental contaminant sample.
In this embodiment, the optical filter layer 1 serves as an input layer of the neural network, the image sensor 2 serves as a linear layer of the neural network, and in order to minimize a loss function of the neural network, the modulation intensities of the optical modulation structures in the optical filter layer on different wavelength components in incident light of an environmental pollutant are used as connection weights of the input layer of the neural network to the linear layer, and the modulation intensities of the different wavelength components in the incident light of the environmental pollutant can be adjusted by adjusting the structure of the filter, so that the adjustment of the connection weights of the input layer to the linear layer is realized, and further, training of the neural network is optimized.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the optical modulation structure is obtained based on neural network training, optical simulation is performed on the environmental pollutant sample through a computer, sample modulation intensities of different wavelength components of incident light of the environmental pollutant in the environmental pollutant sample to the environmental monitoring intelligent processing task by the optical modulation structure are obtained, the sample modulation intensities are used as connection weights from an input layer of the neural network to a linear layer to perform nonlinear activation, the training sample corresponding to the environmental monitoring intelligent processing task is used for neural network training, and the corresponding optical modulation structure of the environmental pollutant sample is used as an optical filter layer corresponding to the environmental monitoring intelligent processing task until the neural network converges.
Therefore, in the embodiment, by implementing the input layer (optical filter layer) and the linear layer (image sensor) of the neural network on the physical layer, not only can complicated signal processing and algorithm processing corresponding to the input layer and the linear layer in the prior art be omitted, but also the embodiment of the present invention actually utilizes the image information, the spectrum information, the angle of the incident light and the phase information of the incident light of the environmental pollutant at the same time, that is, the incident light carrying information at different points of the environmental pollutant space covers the image, the component, the shape, the three-dimensional depth, the structure and other information of the environmental pollutant, so that when the identification processing is performed according to the incident light carrying information at different points of the environmental pollutant space, the image, the component, the shape, the three-dimensional depth, the image sensor and the like of the environmental pollutant can be covered, The structure and the like of the optical artificial neural network environment-friendly monitoring chip provided by the embodiment of the invention can realize the effects of low power consumption and low time delay and also can realize the effect of high accuracy.

In the embodiment, the optical modulation structure is designed through computer optical simulation, and the optical modulation structure is adjusted through the optical simulation until the optical modulation structure is determined to be the final optical modulation structure size to be manufactured when the neural network converges, so that the prototype manufacturing time and cost are saved, the product efficiency is improved, and the complex optical problem is easily solved. Because the environmental pollutants contain different component substances, the reflected light, the transmitted light and/or the radiated light of the different component substances are different, namely, the incident light entering the light modulation structure is different, and further, the light modulation intensities corresponding to the different component substances are different. In addition, this embodiment can detect environmental pollution on a large scale, is not restricted to the single-point measurement of the environmental monitoring instrument among the traditional approach, and the detection sample that obtains is abundanter, and environmental protection monitoring result accuracy is higher.
For example, the light modulation structure can be simulated and designed through FDTD software, and the light modulation structure is changed in optical simulation, so that the modulation intensity of the light modulation structure on different incident lights can be accurately predicted, the modulation intensity can be used as the connection weight of a neural network input layer and a linear layer, an optical artificial neural network environment-friendly monitoring chip is trained, and the light modulation structure can be accurately obtained.
Therefore, the light modulation structure is designed in a computer optical simulation design mode, so that the time and the cost for manufacturing the prototype of the light modulation structure are saved, and the product efficiency is improved.
