  • Publication number: 20260037702
    Abstract: A method for GNN-based automatic bay zoning includes the following steps: S1, using a modified data packet to convert an output file of the hydrodynamic model into a .nc file that can be read by Python software; S2, reading the converted .nc file and performing data preprocessing; S3, using a tsfresh data packet to extract time series feature values of different features; S4, using a Delaunay triangulation algorithm and a four-way matrix or an eight-way matrix to determine spatial connectivity, and constructing an adjacency matrix; S5, constructing a convolutional GNN to learn bay characteristics and spatial connectivity; S6, using a Louvain algorithm or a Spectral Clustering algorithm to perform unsupervised classification of bay; S7, post-processing broken edges of bay zoning; and S8, outputting zoning results in the form of a .shp file to realize the automatic bay zoning.
