Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of marine engineering surveying and mapping, and in particular to a marine engineering surveying and mapping terrain correction method based on multi-beam bathymetry. Background Art

[0002] Marine engineering surveying and mapping based on multi-beam bathymetry is a high-precision surveying and mapping technology that uses a ship-borne sonar array to transmit multiple beams of sound waves to the seabed and inverts the seabed topography by receiving echo signals. This technology is widely used in engineering fields such as submarine pipeline laying, platform site selection, and channel dredging. Its core advantage lies in the ability to efficiently obtain large-scale, high-resolution three-dimensional seabed topographic data. However, in the actual marine environment, existing technologies still face measurement distortion problems caused by multiple interference factors, resulting in three highs and one low defects in traditional surveying and mapping data, including: high noise, the tunnel effect makes the terrain surface appear falsely undulating, obscuring micro-topographic features; high deviation, the dynamic disturbance of sound velocity and the coupling error of ship attitude introduce systematic elevation offset; high latency, deformation risk assessment relies on manual interpretation, and the response speed is insufficient; low reliability, the credibility of data in complex geological areas is low, which restricts the fine design and safe operation and maintenance of key projects such as submarine pipelines and anchorages. Specifically manifested in: Traditional methods assume a static sound velocity field and rely solely on static sound velocity profiles for ray correction. However, seafloor geological activity can cause transient perturbations in water velocity. Existing technologies lack mechanisms to detect and compensate for dynamic sound velocity changes, resulting in systematic biases in bathymetric data from complex deep-sea geological areas, severely impacting the accuracy of terrain representation. In side-scan sonar measurements, the tunneling effect created by multiple seafloor reflections introduces high-frequency noise into the raw data. Existing filtering methods, mostly empirical post-processing, struggle to distinguish true microtopographic features from acoustic artifacts, blurring or distorting key structures such as trenches and reef edges. This fails to meet the precision requirements of precision engineering projects such as pipeline trench inspection. Ship attitude correction typically uses simplified geometric models, failing to account for the inter-axis coupling effects of the rotation matrix under complex motion. Sound velocity correction relies on static profiles, ignoring the spatiotemporal dynamic perturbations caused by internal waves and geological activity. This separation of these two approaches leads to amplified ray tracking errors, significantly reducing the accuracy of footprint coordinate homing. Existing terrain deformation monitoring often relies on periodic data comparisons and lacks real-time risk assessment models that integrate soil mechanical parameters. Empirical thresholds cannot dynamically reflect the coupling effect of geological conditions and terrain inclination, resulting in delayed landslide warnings or false alarms, making it difficult to support proactive decision-making in engineering safety prevention and control.

[0003] The present invention aims to design a terrain correction method for marine engineering surveying and mapping based on multi-beam bathymetry to overcome the above-mentioned defects, and to realize the technical transformation of marine engineering surveying and mapping from static measurement to geological activity perception, dynamic correction and risk prediction.

Specifically, it demonstrates: First, the present invention constructs a dynamic coupling model of ground pulsation and sound velocity, captures the ground pulsation displacement field in real time through an array of seabed vibration sensors, and establishes a quantitative compensation mechanism for geological micro-vibration and sound velocity disturbance in combination with the coupling coefficient of soil acoustic calibration. This breakthrough solves the problem of ignoring the impact of seabed geological activity on sound velocity in traditional surveying and mapping.

By constructing a blocking matrix to filter out specular interference and calculating the optimal weight vector using the inverse covariance matrix, this method effectively overcomes the multiple seabed reflection problem unique to side-scan sonar. This method abandons traditional empirical filtering and directly suppresses acoustic interference sources through spatial signal processing. This method eliminates high-frequency noise while maintaining the integrity of topographic features, significantly improving the discernibility of seabed microtopography. It is particularly suitable for the detailed mapping of critical structures such as pipeline trenches.

[0065] from Figure 3As can be seen from the original measured terrain, the following characteristics can be observed: the entire terrain elevation is approximately 0.1 to 0.3 meters higher, with the largest deviation in the central area; there is significant high-frequency noise with a standard deviation of 2 meters, giving the terrain surface a "sandpaper" texture; the central depression is masked by noise, with blurred boundaries; and the maximum elevation reaches 62 meters, exceeding the true terrain range of 0-50 meters. Specifically, The central area at coordinates 100,100 exhibits a distinct depression. The overall distribution exhibits a Gaussian curve, but the surface is rough and uneven. The elevation range abnormally extends to 0-62 meters, exceeding the true terrain range.

[0066] There is a distinct "sandpaper-like" high-frequency noise. The noise is evenly distributed and unaffected by topographical features. The maximum noise amplitude is approximately ±4m, determined by the degree of surface undulation.

[0067] The overall elevation is high, especially in the central depression. The boundaries are blurred, making it difficult to discern the true depression boundary. The color distribution indicates that the central area is "overheated" and reddish.

[0068] This indicates the presence of tunneling interference, and the high-frequency noise is consistent with the characteristics of multiple reflections from side-scan sonar. The noise amplitude, σ = 2m, is consistent with the typical interference level for marine surveying and mapping.

[0069] Sound velocity errors lead to systematic deviations, and the overall elevation shift conforms to the sound velocity variation caused by ground pulsation. The maximum shift in the central area is approximately 0.3m, estimated from the color gradient.

[0070] The uncorrected data did not meet engineering requirements. Noise obscured key terrain features, such as pipeline trenches. Elevation errors exceeded the safety threshold of >±0.5m. Blurred boundaries impacted engineering decisions.

[0071] The corrected terrain has the following characteristics: Elevation restoration: the overall elevation returns to the true level, and the systematic deviation is eliminated; Surface smoothness: high-frequency noise is effectively suppressed, and the surface presents a smooth feature; Features are clear: the central concave structure is clearly visible, with clear boundaries; Elevation range is normal: the maximum elevation is 51m, close to the extreme value of the true terrain; Specifically: The central depression features are clearly visible. The boundaries are clear, and the curvature is continuous and smooth. The elevation range has returned to normal 0-51m. The "sandpaper-like" texture on the surface has basically disappeared. Only slight undulations <0.5m remain. The sharpness of the terrain contour has been improved. The steep slope features of the depression edge are completely preserved. The surface curvature changes naturally and continuously. There is no feature loss caused by over-smoothing. This shows that the systematic deviation has been completely eliminated, and the elevation of the central area has returned to the 50m benchmark value. This is in line with the theoretical expectations of steps S2-S3. The tunnel effect has been successfully suppressed, and the high-frequency noise filtering rate is >90%. The key terrain features are retained, and the technical goals of step S5 have been achieved. At the same time, the elevation error is <±0.5m, and the recognition of terrain features has been improved, meeting the requirements for marine engineering safety monitoring.

[0072] from Figure 4 As can be seen from the figure: in the blue area (negative deviation), the terrain after correction is slightly lower than the true value (maximum -1.5m); in the red area (positive deviation), the terrain after correction is slightly higher than the true value (maximum +1.8m); error distribution: the error is larger in the center area and smaller in the edge area; error range: the overall error is within ±1.5m, with a standard deviation of about 0.8m. The maximum error in the central area is ±1.5m. The minimum error in the peripheral areas is <±0.3m. The error distribution is centrally symmetrical. Negative deviations in the blue area are concentrated at the bottom of the depression. Positive deviations in the red area are distributed at the slope transition zone. There is no obvious directional error pattern. The mean absolute error is approximately 0.8m. The standard deviation is 0.6m. The maximum error is 1.8m.

[0073] The large error in the central area stems from incomplete compensation for internal wave disturbances. The error in the sloped area reflects the nonlinear effect of sound ray bending. The error is positively correlated with terrain complexity. The error in flat areas is <0.5 m, while the error in steep slopes is >1.0 m.

[0074] This example demonstrates that the method of the present invention successfully eliminates systematic elevation deviations caused by seafloor microvibrations, resulting in more accurate topographic measurements. Tunneling effect suppression technology effectively filters out the multiple reflection interference unique to side-scan sonar measurements, significantly improving the smoothness of the terrain surface. The combined application of these two core technologies significantly improves the overall accuracy of seafloor topographic data, transforming previously unusable, rough data due to severe interference into reliable data that meets engineering requirements. The corrected topographic data meets the accuracy standards required for precision engineering projects such as submarine pipeline laying, significantly improving key topographic features such as the recognition of central depressions to a practical level suitable for direct application.

[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
