Examples
Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below and the individual features of the embodiments can be combined with one another without conflict.
In a first aspect, please refer to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a position distribution of an apparatus for detecting foreign objects and a runway surface in an airport runway according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. This equipment includes that a plurality of intervals set up the detecting element in airport runway both sides, and detecting element passes through wireless sensor network and is connected with monitor terminal, and above-mentioned detecting element includes: the system comprises an infrared transmitter, an infrared receiver, an infrared camera and a processor which are arranged on a road surface, and a vibration sensor which is buried under the road surface, wherein the infrared transmitter, the infrared receiver, the infrared camera and the vibration sensor are all connected with the processor;

In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, a plurality of detection units may be arranged at intervals on both sides of the runway of the airport, for example, one detection unit may be arranged every 50 m.

Specifically, the processor controls the infrared transmitter to periodically radiate infrared light outwards, then the reflected infrared light is received by the infrared receiver, corresponding processing is carried out to obtain energy data of the infrared light, the energy data of the infrared light is transmitted to the processor, and the processor analyzes the energy data of the infrared light obtained through reflection to judge whether foreign matters exist on the runway or not. In addition, the foreign matter on the road surface can be detected according to the reflection time of the infrared light (because the reflection time of the emitted infrared light is obviously changed after encountering the foreign matter, whether the foreign matter exists on the runway can be judged by analyzing and comparing the actual reflection time with a standard preset time threshold value). If the foreign matter is detected to exist on the runway, the processor receives the infrared image of the runway surface containing the foreign matter, which is collected by the infrared camera, processes and identifies the infrared image, determines the type of the foreign matter on the runway and generates a corresponding detection result signal.

In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment, in actual life, the runway is flat and spacious, and part of birds can fly and nest in the area of the runway, which may affect the safe flight of the airplane, so that the sound emitting device can be installed on the equipment, and the sound of natural enemies of the birds can be simulated by emitting ultrasonic waves with different frequencies, so as to achieve the aim of repelling the birds.
Illustratively, acoustic parametric array techniques may be employed to simulate different frequencies of ultrasound. The acoustic parametric array is an inverted-type array, and is a difference frequency wave, a frequency wave and the like generated by mutual interference of two beams of ultrasonic waves with different frequencies and limited amplitudes coaxially transmitted by a physical transducer in a nonlinear propagation common area. From the array perspective, the common region where the nonlinear action occurs is considered as the sound source emission array of difference frequency wave and frequency wave, i.e. the acoustic parametric array.

In a second aspect, please refer to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for detecting foreign objects and a runway surface of an airport runway according to an embodiment of the present application, the method includes the following steps:
step S1: the infrared transmitter is controlled to periodically radiate infrared light outwards.
In the above step, after the processor is powered on, the processor may control the infrared emitter to be powered on, where the infrared emitter may include at least one infrared light emitting LED.
Step S2: the method comprises the steps of obtaining energy data of first infrared rays received by a first infrared receiver and second infrared rays received by a second infrared receiver, and obtaining infrared images of a pavement surface containing the runway foreign matters and vibration frequency data detected by a vibration sensor, wherein the infrared images are collected by an infrared camera.
In the above step, the first infrared receiver and the second infrared receiver may respectively include at least one infrared receiving LED.
Step S3: and judging whether the energy difference value of the first infrared light and the second infrared light is greater than a preset threshold value, if so, determining that the foreign object on the runway is detected and generating a foreign object signal, and if not, generating a foreign object-free signal.
In the above steps, the first infrared light and the second infrared light both include infrared light in ambient light, and an energy difference between the first infrared light and the second infrared light is an infrared light emitted by an infrared emitter reflected by the runway foreign object included in the first infrared light, so that whether the runway foreign object is detected can be determined by comparing the energy difference with a preset threshold. It should be noted that the preset threshold may be set according to the requirement of the detection tolerance, wherein the higher the preset threshold is, the higher the accuracy rate of determining that the obstacle is detected is, but at the same time, the accuracy rate of determining that the obstacle is not detected is reduced, and different settings may be performed according to actual situations.
Specifically, first, a receiving voltage value indicating an energy value of the first infrared ray and a reference voltage value indicating an energy value of the second infrared ray are obtained; the first infrared receiver and the second infrared receiver can generate photocurrent when infrared light is received, and the stronger the energy of the received infrared light is, the larger the photocurrent is. Therefore, it is possible to provide a received voltage value representing the energy value of the first infrared ray by detecting the magnitude of the photocurrent generated by the first infrared receiver, and to provide a reference voltage value representing the energy value of the second infrared ray by detecting the magnitude of the photocurrent generated by the second infrared receiver. Then, judging whether the receiving voltage value is larger than the reference voltage value, if so, determining that the foreign object on the runway is detected and generating a foreign object signal, and if not, generating a foreign object-free signal; the signal may be a level signal, such as a high level signal indicating that a runway threshold is detected or a low level signal indicating that no runway threshold is detected.
Step S4: and processing and identifying the infrared image, determining the type of the runway foreign matter and generating a foreign matter classification result signal. Referring to fig. 3, the steps specifically include:
step S4-1: processing the infrared image to obtain a corresponding visual saliency area image;
referring to fig. 4 and 5, in the above steps, because the foreign object on the runway is generally small, the runway foreign object target to be detected in the collected infrared image of the runway surface containing the foreign object is often weak, and the foreign object target area may attract the visual attention of people, that is, for human eyes, the weak target area is an area with high significance and large information amount in the infrared image. Therefore, a relatively unimportant area in the infrared image can be removed firstly in a significance measurement mode, the background is suppressed to a certain degree, the foreign object target is highlighted, and then the weak foreign object target is searched from the extracted significant area, so that the processing time of the processor can be effectively reduced, and the overall operation efficiency is improved.
Illustratively, the step of processing the infrared image to obtain a corresponding image of the visually significant region specifically includes:
step S4-1-1: and carrying out graying processing on the infrared image to obtain a grayed image. In the step, the calculation amount can be reduced by carrying out graying processing on the image, and the efficiency of subsequent image processing is improved.
Step S4-1-2: and calculating and obtaining a region saliency image based on the image entropy and a region saliency image based on the local similarity according to the gray-scale image.
In the above steps, the process of calculating and obtaining the region saliency image based on the image entropy is as follows:
firstly, calculating the information entropy H (x, y) of each pixel point (x, y) in the gray-scale image to obtain an information entropy chart corresponding to the gray-scale image, wherein the calculation formula is as follows:
wherein Ω (x, y) represents a local area around the pixel point (x, y), and the pixel value in the local area is projected onto K intervals, P b (x, y) represents the probability that the pixel value is in the section b;
and then, carrying out binarization processing on the information entropy diagram to obtain an area saliency image based on the image entropy.
The regional significance image based on the image entropy only considers the gray level statistical distribution of each region and does not consider the spatial distribution characteristics of pixels. In an actual infrared image, the background often presents certain spatial similarity, the repeated areas cause visual redundancy, and the detection and identification of foreign matters are meaningless, so that the similar areas in the image need to be removed to better measure the visual saliency.
The process of calculating and obtaining the regional saliency image based on local similarity is as follows:
firstly, dividing a gray image into a plurality of regions with the same size; in this step, since the regions with similarity tend to be located closer to each other in the actual image, rather than far apart from each other, the image may be divided into several regions with the same size, and then the similarity between two adjacent regions may be calculated in the horizontal and vertical directions to remove the similar regions.
Then, calculating a similarity value between every two adjacent areas along the horizontal direction, and sequentially judging whether the similarity value is higher than a preset standard value, if so, marking the two areas as non-significant areas, otherwise, marking the two areas as significant areas, and obtaining a horizontal area significance image;
illustratively, it can be according to a formulaCalculating a similarity value between two adjacent regions, wherein rho Ω1,Ω2 Representing the similarity of two regions, Ω 1 and Ω 2, F Ω1 (x, y) represents a pixel value in the region of Ω 1, F Ω2 (x, y) represents a pixel value in the Ω 2 region.
Then, calculating a similarity value between every two adjacent areas along the vertical direction, and sequentially judging whether the similarity value is higher than a preset standard value, if so, marking the two areas as non-significant areas, otherwise, marking the two areas as significant areas, and obtaining a vertical area significance image;
in the above steps, firstly, similarity values are calculated along the horizontal direction, if the similarity value between two adjacent regions is higher than a preset standard value, it is indicated that the two regions have strong similarity and are represented as a visual redundant region, so that the gray values of the two regions are simultaneously set to be 0 and marked as an insignificant region; and then, calculating a similarity value along the vertical direction, and if the similarity value between the two adjacent regions is lower than a preset standard value, indicating that the two regions have low similarity and visually represent a large difference, and therefore, setting the gray values of the two regions to be 1 at the same time and marking the two regions as the significant regions. This process is repeated until each region is subjected to horizontal and vertical direction saliency measurements, respectively, resulting in corresponding horizontal region saliency images and vertical region saliency images.
And finally, fusing the horizontal area saliency image and the vertical area saliency image to obtain an area saliency image based on local similarity.
Step S4-1-3: and fusing the region saliency image based on the image entropy and the region saliency image based on the local similarity to obtain the visual saliency region image.
Illustratively, the fusion formula is:wherein R is S (x, y) represents a visually significant region,representing a salient region based on the entropy of the image,representing salient regions based on local similarity. Note that the visual saliency area obtained here is displayed in the form of a binary image, where 1 represents that the point is highly salient and 0 represents that the point is low salient.
Step S4-2: processing the image of the visual salient region by utilizing an LCM algorithm to obtain a local contrast image;
in the above steps, the LCM algorithm is a pixel-level operation, and a weak foreign object target is highlighted and a background is suppressed by calculating a difference between a region where each pixel point is located and a peripheral region, so that the obtained visually significant region image can be further processed by the LCM algorithm to obtain a local contrast image corresponding to the visually significant region image, and a position where a pixel value in the local contrast image is the largest is a position where the foreign object target is located. The principle of obtaining a local contrast image by LCM algorithm processing belongs to the prior art, and is not described herein again.
Step S4-3: performing self-adaptive threshold segmentation on the local contrast image to obtain a foreign matter detection result image;
in the above steps, the adaptive threshold method can calculate the local threshold according to the brightness distribution of different regions of the image, so that different thresholds can be adaptively calculated for different regions of the image. When the local threshold of each region in the local contrast image is calculated by the adaptive threshold method, the region with the largest local threshold is the foreign object target region to be identified, and then the image is segmented according to the threshold, so that a foreign object detection result map (as shown in fig. 5) corresponding to the foreign object target region to be identified can be obtained.
Step S4-4: and identifying the foreign matter detection result graph, determining the type of the foreign matter on the runway and generating a foreign matter classification result.
In the above steps, the neural network model may be used to identify the foreign object detection result map, determine the type of the runway foreign object, and generate a foreign object classification result. The neural network model is a model which is obtained after a series of historical data (foreign body types) are trained and can be used for foreign body identification and classification, and a specific model construction method and a specific model construction process belong to the prior art and are not described again here.
Step S5: and judging whether the vibration frequency data exceed a preset safe vibration frequency threshold, if so, generating a pavement abnormal signal, and if not, generating a pavement normal signal.
In the above steps, if the road surface has cracks, depressions, etc., when the object passes quickly through the runway, the vibration frequency of the road surface will change obviously, so that the vibration frequency data collected in real time can be compared with the preset safe vibration frequency threshold, and if the vibration frequency data exceeds the preset safe vibration frequency threshold, indicating that the road surface has problems, a road surface abnormal signal is generated; and if the vibration frequency data do not exceed the preset safe vibration frequency threshold value, indicating that the state of the pavement is in a controllable range, generating a normal pavement signal. And then, the generated road surface abnormal signal and the generated road surface normal signal are sent to a monitoring terminal through a wireless sensor network, and if the monitoring terminal receives the road surface abnormal signal, an alarm is sent to remind a worker to check and repair the road surface abnormal signal in time, so that the worker is helped to adjust the arrangement strategy of taking off and landing of the airplane in time. And because every detecting element all has own ID number, so the staff can carry out quick location to the detecting element who sends out the road surface abnormal signal, improves maintenance efficiency.
Step S6: and sending the generated foreign matter signal, the foreign matter-free signal, the foreign matter classification result signal, the road surface abnormal signal and the road surface normal signal to a monitoring terminal through a wireless sensor network.
In the steps, each detection unit sends the relevant detection result data obtained by processing the detection result data to the monitoring terminal through the wireless sensor network, the monitoring terminal comprehensively considers the overall situation of the airport runway according to the detection result data of each detection unit, and if a problem is found, an alarm signal is sent out to remind workers to take corresponding measures in time so as to ensure that the airport runway is suitable for safe flight.
