Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of geological monitoring technology, specifically a debris flow monitoring system and method based on seismic data. Background Technology

[0002] Southwest my country is characterized by its vast and complex topography, featuring numerous high mountains and deep valleys with significant elevation differences. Located near the collision zone between the Indian and Eurasian plates, the region has experienced frequent earthquakes due to the development of folds and faults. Its subtropical monsoon climate, combined with abundant rainfall and heavy to torrential downpours, results in abundant precipitation. These factors combined make Southwest my country a high-risk area for large-scale landslides and debris flows. Large-scale landslides and debris flows are typically characterized by their large scale, high speed, and powerful impact. Once they occur, they not only cause immense damage to the natural ecosystem but also severely threaten densely populated areas along riverbanks and in low-lying valleys. In recent years, several large-scale landslide disasters in Southwest China have resulted in severe casualties and property damage.

[0003] In the early stages of debris flow disaster research, most studies employed field investigation methods, inferring the location of debris flow sources and the different stages of their movement based on on-site survey data. However, this method was wasteful of manpower, resources, and time, and had a limited scope of application. With technological advancements, new technologies and equipment have gained popularity among researchers, such as long-term monitoring sensors like mud level gauges, rain gauges, and piezometers, as well as drone aerial imagery to acquire three-dimensional data of debris flow areas and establish digital models. However, these methods have inherent limitations. The accuracy of data fusion from various sensors and evaluation systems such as early warning thresholds is relatively low. Drone aerial photography is only suitable for post-event analysis and cannot achieve real-time monitoring. Furthermore, these early warning methods struggle to perform dynamic analysis of debris flows, failing to accurately obtain physical parameters at each stage of debris flow occurrence, and lacking a comprehensive understanding of debris flows. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a debris flow monitoring system and method based on seismic data, aiming to solve the problems of difficult means of monitoring sudden debris flows, low information accuracy, and complicated operation for workers, and to realize remote, non-contact data acquisition of debris flows, as well as real-time monitoring and analysis of the location and time of debris flow occurrence.

[0021] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of the seismic data processing workflow. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] This implementation case provides a debris flow monitoring method based on seismic data, including the following steps:

[0024] Step 1: Collect ground motion data generated during the debris flow using an earthquake monitoring instrument, and perform noise reduction processing on the earthquake data;

[0025] The original seismic data was denoised using a band-pass filter (BP filter). By identifying the frequency range of the effective signal, the amplitude of the signal within the seismic signal band was kept unchanged, while the amplitude outside the band was set to 0. Interference signals (other strong artificial or natural vibration signals) were eliminated, and seismic data related to debris flow disasters in a specific frequency band were obtained.

[0026] Step 2: Separate the main characteristic components of the seismic data to obtain effective ground motion signals generated by debris flows;

[0027] Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is used to decompose the data into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), thereby reducing noise in the ground motion data. Earthquake data generated by debris flow disasters are typical nonlinear stationary signals (significantly affected by noise) and are accompanied by other earthquake data of similar frequencies. EMD can effectively decompose the non-stationary and nonlinear signal into a set of orthogonal components, separating the principal eigencomponents from other residuals to obtain clear time-domain curves, thus achieving noise reduction of the original ground motion signal.

[0028] Step 3: Perform Fourier transform on the denoised seismic data to perform spectral analysis of the seismic data, and obtain the time information of debris flow occurrence and the power spectral density of ground motion signal.

[0029] Steps 2 and 3 yield effective seismic signals. The processed seismic signals are then analyzed using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) to obtain information such as frequency variation over time, the occurrence time of each component, and the instantaneous frequency and amplitude at each moment. This allows for the analysis of the time of debris flow occurrence and the duration of different stages of the debris flow. Simultaneously, Fourier transform techniques are used to estimate the power spectral density, facilitating subsequent analysis of debris flow parameters using the power spectral density.

[0030] Step 4: Establish the positional relationship between the earthquake monitoring instrument and the earthquake source, and obtain the location of the earthquake source;

[0031] The coordinates of the earthquake monitoring instrument can be obtained precisely using methods such as BeiDou positioning, but the latitude and longitude of the earthquake source and the propagation speed of seismic waves are unknown. By acquiring the initial arrival data from different earthquake monitoring instruments and establishing three or more observation equations, the latitude and longitude of the earthquake source can be derived using least squares calculations. This can be achieved using built-in functions in MATLAB for nonlinear least squares calculations. The distance relationship between the earthquake monitoring instrument and the earthquake source can be expressed by the following formula:

[0032]

[0033] In the formula, x and y represent the latitude and longitude coordinates of the earthquake source, x i y i Let t represent the latitude and longitude coordinates of the i-th seismic monitoring instrument, respectively. i denoted by , v represents the time it takes for the seismic wave signal to travel from the source to the i-th seismic monitoring instrument, and v represents the velocity of the seismic S-wave.

[0034] By solving the above equations, the latitude and longitude of the earthquake source and the propagation velocity of the seismic waves can be obtained. After obtaining the latitude and longitude coordinates of the earthquake source, combined with the latitude and longitude of the seismic monitoring instruments, the distance of each seismic monitoring instrument from the earthquake source can be calculated, that is, the distance r0 between the seismic monitoring instrument and the debris flow source.

[0035] The time it takes for the seismic motion signal of a debris flow to reach seismographs at different distances will vary. Knowing the distance between two seismographs, the velocity of the debris flow can be estimated by the time difference between the arrival of the seismic signals between the two seismographs. This invention uses the time difference of the maximum amplitude to compare the values ​​of the two seismic motion signals. The average velocity u of the debris flow can be calculated by the following formula.

[0036]

[0037] In the formula, n represents the number of deployed seismic monitoring instruments, and Δs it represents the distance between the i-th seismic monitoring instrument and the (i-1)-th seismic monitoring instrument, which can be precisely determined in advance. i and t i+1 These represent the times when the seismic waves arrive at the i-th and i+1-th seismic monitoring instruments, respectively, from which the velocity of each section of the debris flow and the average velocity of the entire process can be calculated.

[0038] Step 5: Establish the power spectral density function to calculate the power spectrum of the seismic data and obtain information such as the flow rate of debris flows;

[0039] Establish the power spectral density function of debris flow, obtain the energy distribution of ground motion signal within a certain frequency range at various times, and understand the statistical characteristics of high, medium and low frequency components of ground motion signal during the debris flow process and the signal power distribution at different times.

[0040] The power spectral density function of debris flow is established as follows:

[0041]

[0042] In the formula, P is the power spectral density of the seismic signal at a specific frequency f, with units of (m / s). 2 / Hz, ξ is the seismic velocity parameter, V c Here, r0 is the Rayleigh wave phase velocity at 1 Hz, r0 is the distance between the seismic monitoring instrument and the debris flow source, Q is the Rayleigh wave quality factor, L and W are the length and width of the moving material, respectively, D is the diameter of the debris flow particles, and u is the average velocity of the debris flow. From the above formula, it can be seen that the amplitude of the P value largely depends on LWD. 3 u 3 The product of.

[0043] The value of P is related to the length and width of the specific debris flow segment, the diameter of the debris flow particles, and their velocity. The length and width of the debris flow basin, as determined by on-site surveys at debris flow disaster sites, can be known beforehand. Combined with the velocities of different debris flow segments, and based on the product relationship between P and L, W, and u, the diameter D of the debris flow particles can be calculated. From this, the particle sizes carried in different debris flow segments can be deduced, allowing for the analysis of the distribution of particulate matter carried at different stages of the debris flow.

[0044] Finally, by combining the length, width, and depth of the debris flow basin, and the debris flow velocity calculated according to formula (2), the flow rate of the debris flow can be calculated, as shown in formula (4).

[0045] Q = S × u = L × W × u (4)

[0046] In the formula, Q represents the flow rate of the debris flow, S represents the cross-sectional area of ​​the debris flow, L and W are the length and width of the debris flow, respectively, and u represents the average velocity of the debris flow.

[0047] The scale of a debris flow can be roughly assessed based on its flow rate, particle size and distribution at different stages.

[0048] This implementation case also provides a debris flow monitoring system based on seismic data, including a debris flow monitoring service platform, a data center, and seismic monitoring instruments, such as... Figure 1 As shown.

[0049] The debris flow monitoring service platform is used to provide users with status queries of earthquake monitoring instruments and earthquake data, as well as displays of the location, time, and scale of debris flows.

Its observation frequency band reaches 2 seconds to 50 Hz. It is compact, fully functional, and the entire system is lightweight.

[0052] The debris flow monitoring service platform includes an authentication management module, a secure communication module, an information management module, a data analysis module, an information query module, and an early warning release module, such as... Figure 2 As shown;

[0053] The authentication management module is used to perform secure authentication of users' identities and permissions when users log in to the debris flow monitoring service platform, and to control users' access and operation permissions.

[0054] The information management module is used to enable the debris flow monitoring service platform to comprehensively manage user information, permission information, earthquake data information, and disaster source location information, and to provide different operation permissions according to different user permissions;

[0055] The data analysis module allows users to perform comprehensive analysis of earthquake data. It mainly consists of signal preprocessing and parameter analysis. Signal preprocessing includes noise removal, mean removal, and trend removal to remove noise caused by other natural and human activities and obtain effective earthquake data. Parameter analysis includes time-frequency analysis and power spectral density analysis to determine the location and time of debris flow sources and analyze their scale. See steps 1-5 above for details, which will not be repeated here.

[0056] The information query module is used to enable the debris flow monitoring service platform to query user information, seismic monitoring instrument status information, debris flow location information, communication information, and early warning information.

[0057] The early warning release module is used to release disaster early warnings for specific debris flows, including the location and estimated scale of the debris flow.

[0058] The data center includes backup servers, storage devices, and network equipment. The backup servers store data generated during system operation, ensuring data security; the storage devices store user information, historical earthquake data, and previous early warning information; and the network equipment connects the system to the earthquake monitoring instruments.
