This research presents an innovative methodology aimed at monitoring jet trajectory during the jetting process using imagery captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This approach seamlessly integrates UAV imagery with an offline learnable prompt vector module (OPVM) to enhance trajectory monitoring accuracy and stability. By leveraging a high-resolution camera mounted on a UAV, image enhancement is proposed to solve the problem of geometric and photometric distortion in jet trajectory images, and the Faster R-CNN network is deployed to detect objects within the images and precisely identify the jet trajectory within the video stream. Subsequently, the offline learnable prompt vector module is incorporated to further refine trajectory predictions, thereby improving monitoring accuracy and stability. In particular, the offline learnable prompt vector module not only learns the visual characteristics of jet trajectory but also incorporates their textual features, thus adopting a bimodal approach to trajectory analysis. Additionally, OPVM is trained offline, thereby minimizing additional memory and computational resource requirements. Experimental findings underscore the method’s remarkable precision of 95.4% and efficiency in monitoring jet trajectory, thereby laying a solid foundation for advancements in trajectory detection and tracking. This methodology holds significant potential for application in firefighting systems and industrial processes, offering a robust framework to address dynamic trajectory monitoring challenges and augment computer vision capabilities in practical scenarios.

As one of the main external factors affecting the fire extinguishing accuracy of sprinkler systems, it is necessary to analyze and study random wind. However, in practical applications, there is little research on the impact of random wind on sprinkler fire extinguishing points. To address this issue, a new random wind acquisition system was constructed in this paper, and a method for predicting jet trajectory falling points in Random Forest (RF) under the influence of random wind was proposed, and compared with the commonly used prediction model Support Vector Machine (SVM). The method in this article reduces the error in the x direction of the 50 m prediction result from 2.11 m to 1.53 m, the error in the y direction from 0.64 m to 0.6 m, and the total mean absolute error (MAE) from 31.3 to 23.5. Simultaneously, predict the falling points of jet trajectory at different distances under the influence of random wind, to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method in practical applications. The experimental results show that the system and method proposed in this article can effectively improve the influence of random wind on the falling points of a jet trajectory. In summary, the image acquisition system and error prediction method proposed in this article have many potential applications in fire extinguishing.
