Title: Zengfu Wang and UAV-Based Reservoir Water-Bloom Monitoring.

Introduction

Zengfu Wang is an inventor associated with Kunming, China, and Huaneng Lancang River Hydropower Inc. His patent work addresses the use of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms to monitor water blooms in reservoir areas.

Latest Patents

Wang is named on 1 patent: “Reservoir Area Water Bloom Rapid Monitoring Method and Device Based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Swarm Coordination.” The invention uses local-update quantification in a federated-learning system to reduce communication between UAVs and a central server while maintaining the accuracy of the monitoring model. It defines a loss-function queue for each UAV and uses the relationship between historical and current loss functions to quantify model updates. The approach is intended to ease the difficulty of uploading large volumes of UAV imagery, reduce communication demands, and improve model convergence by limiting frequent communication.

Career Highlights

Wang’s listed patent connects aerial monitoring, coordinated UAV operations, and federated learning to a practical challenge in reservoir management. His work is associated with Huaneng Lancang River Hydropower Inc.
