[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of foundation pit support surface feature detection, and in particular to a foundation pit support surface feature detection method and system. Background Art

[0002] To ensure construction quality during tunnel construction, it is necessary to inspect the surface characteristics of the foundation pit support. These characteristics primarily include the flatness, inclination, and distance between the two walls of the foundation pit's sprayed concrete walls. To inspect the flatness and inclination of the foundation pit's sprayed concrete walls, tools such as levels, three-meter rulers, and MERLIN beams are primarily used. Cross-sectional inspection methods are used to directly measure the longitudinal section, and the flatness and inclination are output based on the longitudinal section curve. A ruler is typically used to inspect the distance between the two walls. While these methods can detect the surface characteristics of the pit support, they suffer from slow speed, low efficiency, and large errors.

[0003] In summary, current technology cannot meet the requirements of high-precision detection of foundation pit support surface features. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fast, efficient, and high-precision foundation pit support surface feature detection method and system to solve the problems in traditional measurement methods. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of slow speed, low efficiency and large error in the traditional surface feature detection method of foundation pit support in the above background, and propose a surface feature detection method of foundation pit support, which includes the following steps:

[0005] S1. Install the lidar and inertial sensor on the tripod head, and adjust the tripod to a horizontal level based on the output information of the inertial sensor.

[0006] S2, using the straight-through filtering and outlier filtering algorithms for preprocessing to eliminate noise interference and extract the point cloud of the wall to be measured;

[0007] S3, divide the wall point cloud into n intervals with equal intervals, and perform fine measurement on each interval;

[0008] S4, using the random sampling consensus algorithm to perform plane fitting on the point cloud data of n intervals to obtain a plane model;

[0009] S5. By counting the distance between the original point cloud and the plane model, the wall flatness information is obtained. The angle θ between the corresponding vector V1 of the inertial sensor's gravity direction in the lidar coordinate system and the plane model's normal vector V2 is calculated, which is the wall inclination angle.

[0029]

[0030] roll=atan2(ACC y ,ACC z );

[0031] The radar data is then calibrated according to the Pitch and Roll parameter values, where the calibrated point cloud coordinates (x′, y′, z′) are:

[0032] x′=xcos({pitch})+zsin({pitch}),

[0033] y′=ycos({roll})-xsin({pitch})sin({roll})+zcos({pitch})sin({roll}),

[0034] z′=ysin({roll})+xsin({pitch})cos({roll})-zcos({pitch})cos({roll});

[0065] First, the tripod 7 is adjusted to be horizontal according to the output information of the inertial sensor;

[0066] Secondly, collect the original point cloud data P output by the laser radar x,y,z (t), and perform through-filtering and outlier filtering to eliminate noise interference. Assume that the coordinates of the nth point cloud at time t are P(x, y, z) n (t), the processing method of straight-through filtering is shown in formula (1):

[0067]

[0068] Where, It is the point cloud data after straight-through filtering.

[0069] Assuming that the distances of all points in the point cloud obey Gaussian distribution, the distance S from the nth point cloud to the mth point cloud at time t is n for:

[0070]

[0071] The mean of the Gaussian distribution is represented by the average distance μ from each point to its k neighbors:

[0082]

[0083] Where, s is the flatness of the wall to be measured, d n for point Distance to the fitting plane.

[0084] When calculating the wall inclination angle, firstly, the three-axis acceleration information is obtained based on the inertial sensor built into the radar: (ACC x ,ACC y ,ACC z ), the pitch angle (Pitch) and yaw angle (Roll) of the current posture are shown in equations (9)-(10):

[0095] Example 2

[0096] The axial force of the support and the displacement of the soil in the foundation pit are a reflection of the stability of the foundation pit structure. If the stability of the foundation pit is affected, it may cause changes in the surface characteristics of the foundation pit, such as uneven settlement and cracks on the wall. If the fluctuation of the internal support axial force causes uneven displacement of the foundation pit support structure, cracks or uneven settlement may occur on the surface of the foundation pit. These changes are a direct reflection of the surface characteristics of the foundation pit. The failure mode of shallow soil, which is mainly vertical deformation and settlement, may cause uneven stress distribution and possible cracks on the surface of the foundation pit support, affecting the integrity and function of the support structure. If abnormal changes are detected in the monitoring of the internal support axial force and soil displacement, a more detailed inspection of the foundation pit surface may be required to assess potential risks. Therefore, a monitoring module for the axial force and soil displacement of the internal support in the foundation pit can also be introduced into the foundation pit support surface feature detection system of the present invention. The influence of the axial force and soil displacement of the internal support in the foundation pit on the surface characteristics of the foundation pit serves as an early warning mechanism for the safety of foundation pit construction. The specific implementation method includes the following steps:

[0097] Add monitoring of foundation pit support surface characteristics (such as cracks, uneven settlement, tilt, etc.) to the monitoring system to ensure simultaneous collection of internal support axial force and soil displacement data;

[0098] When conducting data analysis, the internal support axial force and soil displacement data are considered, and the correlation between these data and the surface characteristics of the foundation pit support is analyzed to identify potential surface deformation risks;

[0099] Incorporate changes in the surface characteristics of foundation pit support into the early warning system. When abnormal changes in surface characteristics are detected, an early warning is triggered, indicating possible internal mechanical problems.

[0100] Develop a comprehensive assessment model that combines data on internal support axial forces, soil displacements, and pit support surface characteristics to more comprehensively assess pit stability and safety;

[0101] The specific guiding significance of changes in the surface characteristics of foundation pit support for construction adjustments should be clearly pointed out in the response measures. For example, the increase in surface cracks may require additional support or changes in construction methods.

[0102] In risk assessment and decision support, the changes in the surface characteristics of foundation pit support are used as an important factor in risk assessment to more accurately judge the construction safety status;

[0103] During the construction adjustment and optimization step, the specific impact of changes in the surface characteristics of the foundation pit support on the construction plan should be considered. For example, uneven surface settlement may require adjustments to the design of the support structure.

[0104] In the reports and records, the changes in the surface characteristics of the foundation pit support and the correlation analysis results of these changes with the internal support axial force and soil displacement data shall be recorded in detail.

[0105] By implementing this plan, it is possible to ensure that the safety of the foundation pit construction process is effectively monitored, and possible risks can be discovered and responded to in a timely manner, thereby improving construction quality and safety.

[0106] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
