Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of tunnel engineering construction safety monitoring, and particularly relates to a tunnel surrounding rock three-dimensional deformation monitoring system and method fusing monocular vision and millimeter wave radar. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to complex construction environment and variable geological conditions, tunnel engineering is prone to surrounding rock deformation during excavation, which may induce serious accidents such as vault cracking, collapse and excessive settlement. Especially after excavation in poor geological sections and before the implementation of stable support, the surrounding rock is exposed and disturbed violently, which is the most unstable period of deformation and poses a great threat to safety. Therefore, real-time and accurate deformation monitoring of surrounding rock during tunnel excavation is crucial to protect the lives of workers and ensure the stability of surrounding rock.

[0003] At present, the conventional tunnel surrounding rock deformation monitoring method still mainly relies on total station, level, convergence meter, etc., which not only has low detection efficiency, but also highly depends on manual operation, resulting in obvious time lag of monitoring data and difficulty in realizing real-time and continuous deformation perception. In addition, in the high-risk complex environment of low illumination, high dust, poor ventilation or toxic and harmful gases, conventional manual methods are also difficult to effectively protect the safety of workers. Although buried deformation monitoring sensors can achieve continuous monitoring, in the initial stage of tunnel excavation or when the support structure has not yet formed, due to the instability of surrounding rock, limited installation space and high operation risk, the sensors are difficult to be effectively deployed, resulting in a "window period" of monitoring in the key deformation stage.

[0004] Millimeter wave radar has gradually been applied to geological disaster monitoring due to its all-weather, strong anti-interference ability and ability to penetrate dust and smoke, but it can only capture the projection component of deformation along the radial direction, and the reconstruction ability of spatial displacement field is limited, which may lead to underestimation of the actual deformation. Monocular vision technology has low cost and high resolution image acquisition capability, but it lacks depth information and has insufficient spatial resolution, making it difficult to accurately reflect three-dimensional deformation.

[0005] Therefore, in order to fully utilize the advantages of both and overcome their limitations, the present application proposes a tunnel surrounding rock three-dimensional deformation monitoring system and method fusing monocular vision and millimeter wave radar. SUMMARY

[0020] The tunnel surrounding rock three-dimensional deformation monitoring system of the present application fuses monocular vision and millimeter wave radar, as shown in Figure 1 , including in-hole sensing device, hole terminal, database and application server, remote monitoring end four parts.

[0021] (I) In-hole sensing device In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the in-hole sensing device comprises a monocular camera and a millimeter wave radar. Preferably, the monocular camera is an industrial-grade CMOS camera (such as using a SONY IMX283 sensor), equipped with a F1.4 fixed-focus lens, preferably with a focal length of 50 mm (or alternatively, a lens with a focal length in the range of 8-75 mm can be selected according to actual needs), with a capture frequency of up to 30 FPS, suitable for temperatures from -10°C to 60°C; the millimeter wave radar is an 80.5 GHz operating frequency FMCW millimeter wave radar, with a bandwidth of 2 GHz, a maximum monitoring distance of up to 300 m, a distance monitoring accuracy of better than 0.15 m, a radial displacement monitoring accuracy of up to 0.1 mm, a horizontal angle resolution of 1°, a pitch angle resolution of 1.5°, a monitoring frequency of 30 Hz, and can work in an environment from -40°C to 75°C.

[0022] The millimeter wave radar and the monocular camera are firmly mounted on a unified base through a dedicated custom connector (such as an aluminum alloy structure or a high-strength composite material), and the visual axes of the two are guaranteed to be parallel and consistent through mechanical adjustment, thereby improving the spatial registration accuracy of heterogeneous data. The mounting base can be fixed by suction or expansion bolts, facilitating flexible deployment in different areas such as the arch of the tunnel and the side wall.

[0023] The millimeter wave radar and the monocular camera are both connected to a unified local area network through an Ethernet interface, enabling high-speed data interaction with the portal terminal. The video stream captured by the monocular camera is transmitted in real time to the portal terminal using the RTSP protocol; the millimeter wave radar outputs multi-dimensional monitoring data such as echo intensity, phase, radial distance, and spatial angle in real time through a serial port or UDP protocol.

[0024] (II) Portal terminal The portal terminal is an industrial-grade PC or edge computing server, and is pre-installed with customized data acquisition and processing software. The portal terminal is connected to the in-hole sensing device through Ethernet, and can automatically identify the network address and data port of the monocular camera and millimeter wave radar devices. The data processing program running on the portal terminal supports multi-threaded asynchronous acquisition, can analyze, format convert, and standardize different protocol raw data streams received in real time, and uniformly organizes them into JSON or custom binary data structures, thereby realizing synchronous acquisition and preprocessing of multi-source data. The structured data after processing can be automatically uploaded to the database and application server through Ethernet, realizing seamless connection with the upper-layer data management and analysis platform. The terminal also supports automatic data caching and breakpoint resume functions, ensuring the continuity and reliability of tunnel monitoring data. All data acquisition and transmission processes can be parameter-configured and state-monitored through the system management interface, facilitating system maintenance and troubleshooting.

[0025] (III) Database and application server The database and application server adopt enterprise-level servers and relational databases. The server automatically receives the standardized multi-modal data uploaded by the opening terminal, completes the joint calibration of space and time, heterogeneous data fusion and three-dimensional deformation calculation. All monitoring data and calculation results are efficiently stored in the database, supporting fast query according to time, target and other conditions. The server can automatically generate structured monitoring files such as target detection and deformation analysis, and archive state logs. The system management interface supports alarm threshold setting. The server automatically alarms and judges the real-time three-dimensional deformation and related indicators. When the limit is exceeded, an alarm information is immediately generated and pushed to the remote monitoring end in real time through the network, realizing automatic alarm and emergency linkage.

[0026] (Four) Remote monitoring end The remote monitoring end is a visual software platform based on PC or Web.

The system also supports remote parameter configuration and permission management, realizing remote operation and management of the monitoring system.

[0027] Before the system is installed or operated for the first time, joint calibration of space and time needs to be completed. During space calibration, a standard calibration board is used as a target. The calibration board is manually moved to different spatial positions, and at least 20 frames of image and point cloud data are collected by monocular camera and millimeter wave radar respectively. The opening terminal runs a special calibration algorithm to process the collected multi-frame data, automatically calculates the rigid transformation parameters (including rotation matrix and translation vector) between the camera and radar coordinate systems, and realizes accurate mapping of spatial coordinates. The above calibration parameters can be stored through configuration file or database, and can be imported, queried and updated in the system management interface, which is used for subsequent multi-modal data space alignment. In terms of time synchronization, the system takes the sensor with lower collection frequency (such as camera) as the time reference. The data collected by high-frequency sensors (such as millimeter wave radar) are synchronized through timestamp interpolation method, ensuring the spatio-temporal consistency of multi-source data at the same time.

After the target is laid out, the staff can input the layout parameters through the system management interface, including the layout position, physical properties (such as model, size), layout time, responsible person and other information. After the target detection and data matching are completed (i.e. S4 step), the system automatically allocates a unique ID for each target, and associates the ID with the target layout parameters, spatial coordinates and other information, and inputs them into the system database. The real-time deformation monitoring data and historical data of each target (S6 step output) can be queried at any time through the system management interface.
