Exploration of Application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Remote Sensing Monitoring Technology in Reservoir Management—Taking a Reservoir in South China as an Example by SUN Wen, SUN Bo

“…In order to improve the technological level and efficiency of water conservancy project supervision,a drinking water reservoir management department in South China took the lead in building a set of intelligent patrol systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).The system included UAVs,UAV automated airports,meteorological monitoring devices,and UAV dispatch and control platforms,and it integrated technologies such as UAV autonomous driving,remote-sensing monitoring,geospatial perception,and artificial intelligence,achieving intelligent flight operations of UAVs in a round-the-clock,fully automatic,and highly frequent manner.It changed traditional routine inspection methods for reservoir security,environment,and land space,greatly improved working efficiency and regulatory effectiveness,and reduced the occurrence of safety incidents around the reservoir,which provided a certain reference value for its application and promotion in the daily management of water conservancy projects.However,the technical issues such as battery life,communication interference,and intelligent perception in the application of UAVs in the industry,as well as the lack of UAV hardware quality and flight standards caused by incomplete industry regulation,collectively limited the orderly development of the industry,and it must be taken seriously by industry-related regulatory authorities.…”

Study on the Water Volume of Erhai Lake in Yunnan Plateau by LI Hongyan

“…Based on the monitoring results of hydrological factors such as measured discharge,precipitation,evaporation and outflow in the Erhai Lake Basin from 1956 to 2018,this paper calculates the natural water volume of the Erhai Lake by using two related methods,namely the principle of watershed generation and convergence and the water balance,and studies the trend and periodicity of natural water volume in Erhai Lake over the years through the Manner-Kendall method and wavelet analysis method.The results show that:The natural water volume calculated by the two methods in Erhai Lake for many years is relatively close,with the relative error of 0.5%,that is 851.9 million cubic meters,among which the water production in the lake area is -93.2 million cubic meters,and the water volume of the land is 944.9 million cubic meters (north (a)>west (b)>southeast (c)>east (d),accounting for 54.9%,33.2%,6.9%,and 4.9% of the land water volume,respectively);The natural water volume in the Erhai Lake throughout the year,the flood season,and the dry season show a decreasing trend with time,especially in the flood season;There are periodic changes in the water volume around 9,12,21,and 32 a,which led to the trend of rich and dry changes in the natural water volume of Erhai Lake.…”

Lightweight anomaly detection model for UAV networks based on memory-enhanced autoencoders by HU Tianzhu, SHEN Yulong, REN Baoquan, HE Ji, LIU Chengliang, LI Hongjun

“…The composite statistical characteristics of the data flow were calculated based on the damped window model, and the memory complexity in the calculation process was reduced in an incremental update manner. The hierarchical clustering algorithm was used to divide the composite statistical features, and the separated features were input to multiple small memory-enhanced autoencoders in the integrated architecture for independent training, which reduced the computational complexity and solved the problem of false negatives caused by the overfitting of the reconstruction effect of the traditional autoencoder. …”
