  • 能区分不同飞机对复杂度的贡献,适合空管系统研究

空中交通管制员通过雷达显示感知交通复杂度,提示基于相同图像的计算机视觉模型可能天然适用于建模管制员感知的复杂度;然而,雷达图像是否适合作为深度学习视觉模型的有效输入尚不明确。与自然图像不同,雷达图像极为稀疏且自相似,主要由黑色背景和少量视觉上相同的飞机斑点构成,而飞机位置的微小变化即可显著改变扇区级复杂度。为检验视觉模型能否捕捉这些操作上重要的差异,我们把每种交通情景编码为包含位置信息及航向、速度、高度等五维状态变量的多通道图像,并训练视觉变换器(ViT)回归由飞机间成对几何关系推导出的四个内在复杂度分量。模型在所有四个分量上的决定系数均超过0.96,且单机移除扰动实验表明其响应与被移除飞机对扇区复杂度的实际贡献成比例,而非将每次移除视为等价。结果表明,尽管具有非典型视觉特征,雷达图像仍可作为空管复杂度建模的可行输入格式。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Air traffic controllers perceive traffic complexity through the radar display, suggesting that a computer vision model operating on the same imagery may provide a natural architecture for modeling controller-perceived complexity; however, whether radar imagery is a viable input format for deep learning vision models remains unclear. Unlike natural images, radar images are extremely sparse and self-similar, consisting primarily of a black background and a few visually identical aircraft blobs, while small changes in aircraft positions can substantially alter sector-level complexity. To test whether a vision model can capture these operationally important differences, we encode each traffic situation as a position image supplemented by five channels representing aircraft state variables, including heading, speed, and altitude, and train a Vision Transformer (ViT) to regress four intrinsic complexity components derived from pairwise geometric relations among aircraft. The model achieves $R^2 > 0.96$ for all four components, and a one-aircraft-removal perturbation study shows that its response changes proportionally to how much the removed aircraft contributed to sector complexity rather than treating every removal as equivalent. These results demonstrate that, despite its atypical visual characteristics, radar imagery is a viable input format for air traffic complexity modeling.
