Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of geological exploration, and in particular to an underwater geological exploration method for dredging across mud layers. Background Art

[0002] In the past, geological exploration and dredging operations often faced challenges, such as the precise positioning of underground target layers in water bodies, insufficient understanding of the geological structure under the riverbed, and the impact of dredging operations on the ecological environment of water bodies. Traditional exploration methods often rely on ground equipment or manual sampling, which is limited by the inability to obtain underwater geological information in real time and the large interference with the ecological environment of water bodies. At the same time, existing dredging methods often cannot effectively reduce damage to the ecological environment of water bodies, nor can they accurately locate and analyze the target layers. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes an underwater geological exploration method for dredging and excavation across mud layers to solve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0004] The present application provides an underwater geological exploration method for dredging across mud layers, comprising the following steps:

[0005] Step S1: Acquire hydrological data of the water area, and perform water flow simulation based on the hydrological data of the water area to obtain water flow data of the water area;

[0006] Step S2: selecting an exploration area according to water flow data to obtain exploration area data;

[0007] Step S3: transmitting exploration waves to the exploration area data, thereby obtaining exploration wave data;

[0008] Step S4: Use geophysical principles and methods to extract target layer electrical difference characteristics from exploration wave data to obtain target layer electrical difference characteristic data, and perform target layer analysis based on the target layer electrical difference characteristic data to obtain target layer data for cross-mud layer dredging operations, wherein the target layer data includes underground target layer position data, underground target layer depth data, and underground target layer thickness data.

[0009] In the present invention, water flow simulation is performed through water area hydrological data, so that the water flow conditions of the water area can be accurately understood, which is helpful to accurately select an exploration area suitable for dredging in the water area, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of dredging. After the exploration area is selected based on the water area water flow data, the emission of exploration waves is more targeted, avoiding unnecessary energy waste and improving the quality and reliability of exploration wave data. Since the selected exploration area is more accurate, the obtained exploration wave data is also more accurate, which is helpful to perform a more detailed analysis of the target layer, accurately analyze the structure, properties and distribution of the target layer, and provide a more powerful basis for cross-mud layer dredging operations. By obtaining hydrological data in advance and performing water flow simulation, it is possible to avoid selecting an unsuitable dredging area or the occurrence of an incorrect dredging position, thereby reducing unnecessary adjustments and corrections during the dredging process and reducing the dredging cost. Selecting a suitable exploration area and an optimized dredging plan reduces the risk of accidents during the dredging process and improves the safety and stability of the work.

[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an accurate hydrological environment basis for exploration work through hydrological data acquisition and water flow simulation, which helps to understand the water flow dynamics and hydrological characteristics in the water area and provides an important reference basis for subsequent exploration operations. By selecting the exploration area according to the water flow data of the water area, the area that needs to be explored can be accurately determined, avoiding blind exploration of the entire water area, saving time and resource costs. The exploration wave data is obtained by transmitting the exploration wave. This step adopts advanced exploration technology and can quickly obtain geological information at the bottom of the water area, providing data support for subsequent target layer analysis. The target layer analysis uses advanced electromagnetic exploration technology, combined with complex steps such as electromagnetic data processing, filtering, and superposition, to accurately identify the target layer structure and characteristics of the bottom of the water, providing important geological information and guidance for cross-mud layer dredging operations. By integrating hydrological data and water flow simulation, as well as accurately selecting the exploration area, unnecessary exploration can be avoided, interference with the ecological environment of the water area and waste of resources can be reduced, which is conducive to protecting the integrity and stability of the water ecosystem. Through precise target layer analysis, the depth and thickness of the target layer as well as the nature and thickness of the covering layer can be accurately understood, which provides an important reference for dredging operations, improves operational efficiency, and reduces unnecessary costs and time waste.

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 6 The present application provides an underwater geological exploration method for dredging across mud layers, comprising the following steps:

[0023] Step S1: Acquire hydrological data of the water area, and perform water flow simulation based on the hydrological data of the water area to obtain water flow data of the water area;

[0024] Specifically, hydrological measurement equipment, such as water velocity measuring instruments and water level meters, are used to conduct field measurements in the target water area, and hydrological parameters such as water velocity, water level, and flow direction are recorded. For example, a velocity meter is used to measure water velocity, and a level meter is used to measure water level. Numerical simulation software, such as fluid dynamics simulation software (such as FLUENT, OpenFOAM, etc.) or hydrodynamic models (such as MIKE21, Delft3D, etc.), is used to simulate water flow based on the collected hydrological data. These simulation software are based on physical principles such as the Navier-Stokes equation and the continuity equation, and use computers to simulate the flow process of water bodies. For example, the MIKE21 model is used to simulate the water flow, and the collected hydrological data is input to perform numerical calculations to obtain the water flow velocity field and flow direction field. After the simulation is completed, the water flow velocity, flow direction and other data at each location in the water area are obtained. These data can be stored in numerical form, such as velocity fields and flow direction fields on two-dimensional or three-dimensional grids. These data can be used as the basis for the selection of subsequent exploration areas.

[0025] Step S2: selecting an exploration area according to water flow data to obtain exploration area data;

[0026] Specifically, the collected water flow data of the water area is processed and analyzed to facilitate the selection of the exploration area. The water flow data is visualized and analyzed using Geographic Information System (GIS) software. According to the analysis results of the water flow data of the water area, areas with relatively gentle water flow and moderate water flow speed are selected as exploration areas. These areas have good conditions for dredging the target layer, such as stable water flow and moderate water depth. The location coordinates, water flow conditions, terrain characteristics and other data of the selected exploration area are recorded as the basis for the subsequent exploration wave emission.

[0027] Step S3: transmitting exploration waves to the exploration area data, thereby obtaining exploration wave data;

[0028] Specifically, equipment for geological exploration of water areas is selected, such as sonar, electromagnetic detection equipment, etc. For example, an electromagnetic prospector is selected as the exploration equipment. According to the hydrological data and geological characteristics of the exploration area, the working parameters of the prospector are set, including frequency, power, detection depth, etc. For example, the transmitting frequency and receiving parameters of the electromagnetic prospector are set. The exploration equipment is navigated or fixedly installed along the selected exploration area, and then the exploration wave is emitted. For example, an electromagnetic prospector is used to emit electromagnetic waves in the water area. During the exploration process, the reflected signal of the exploration wave is recorded, and data processing is performed, including filtering, correction and other operations, to obtain clear exploration wave data.

[0029] Step S4: Use geophysical principles and methods to extract target layer electrical difference characteristics from exploration wave data to obtain target layer electrical difference characteristic data, and perform target layer analysis based on the target layer electrical difference characteristic data to obtain target layer data for cross-mud layer dredging operations, wherein the target layer data includes underground target layer position data, underground target layer depth data, and underground target layer thickness data.

[0030] Specifically, the collected exploration wave data is preprocessed, including denoising, filtering, correction, etc., to improve the quality and clarity of the data. The exploration wave data is interpreted and analyzed using geophysical principles and methods to identify the electrical difference characteristics of the underground target layer and the overburden layer. According to the electrical difference characteristics in the exploration wave data, the location, depth and thickness of the underground target layer are determined, and technical means such as data processing, image interpretation, and inversion are used. The determined target layer is verified and confirmed, and ground verification methods or comparisons with field measured data can be used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the target layer. The analyzed target layer data is output as a digital stratigraphic model or stratigraphic profile for subsequent engineering planning and design. According to the target layer data, cross-mud layer dredging operations are carried out, the dredging plan and construction parameters are determined, and the excavation and construction of underground projects are carried out. In this process, it is necessary to accurately control the underground structure according to the target layer data to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the dredging operation.

[0031] Specifically, the present invention can be applied to dredging devices that can be used for cross-mud layer dredging operations (CN218437267U) and other dredging devices with the function of cross-mud layer dredging operations. The function of the dredging device can be used for sand and gravel mining. Since the dredging is directly carried out in the target layer, the covering layer containing biological communities and bottom sediments is almost not disturbed during the entire dredging process, thereby reducing water turbidity and mud diffusion caused by soil disturbance; the present invention selects the depth of the exploration area, on the one hand, provides a relatively flat and safe excavation area, and on the other hand, the relative stability of water activities is relatively conducive to the stability of the underground structure of the water area, and can provide a good data support effect for the stability of cross-mud layer dredging operations, thereby reducing the extraction of sand and gravel with high impurity content due to the overly complex and scattered underground hierarchical structure of the water area.

[0032] Specifically, in one embodiment, the shallow formation profile detection converts the control signal into an acoustic pulse of different frequencies (100 Hz to 10 kHz) through a transducer and transmits it to the seabed. The sound wave encounters an acoustic impedance interface during the propagation of seawater and sedimentary layers, and is recorded after being reflected back to the transducer and converted into an analog or digital signal, and output as a shallow formation acoustic recording profile that can reflect the acoustic characteristics of the formation. The acoustic formation detection system uses the principle of sound wave reflection to detect the formation. When the sound wave propagates on the seabed and encounters a reflection interface (there is a difference in the properties of the medium on both sides of the interface), it is reflected. The condition for generating a reflected wave is that the wave impedance of the medium on both sides of the interface is unequal, and the factor that determines the condition of sound wave reflection is the wave impedance difference (reflection coefficient Rpp). Wave impedance is the product of the speed V of sound waves propagating in the medium and the medium density ρ. In shallow strata profile surveys, it is approximately assumed that the sound waves are incident vertically. At this time, it can be seen from the formula that in order to obtain strong reflection, there must be a large density difference and a large sound velocity difference. If two adjacent layers have a certain density and sound velocity difference, the adjacent interface between the two layers will have a stronger sound intensity, and a profile interface line with a stronger grayscale will be reflected on the profiler terminal display.

[0033] ;

[0034] is the density of the second medium, is the first medium density, is the second propagation speed, is the first propagation velocity, where the density of the first medium and the density of the second medium are used to describe the physical properties of two different adjacent substances on the sound wave propagation path. They represent the physical conditions encountered by sound waves when propagating in different media. The density of the first medium refers to the density of the medium in which the sound wave is located before reflection occurs during the sound wave propagation process. It is usually the medium close to the source of the sound wave, that is, the density of the first layer of material encountered before the sound wave is incident, such as the density of the water layer or the surface soft silt layer. The density of the second medium refers to the density of another medium that the sound wave reflects or penetrates into after reaching the interface. It is the density of the second layer of material adjacent to the first medium and in contact with the sound wave, such as the density of the sediment layer or deeper rock layer.

[0035] The acoustic parametric array (Parametric Array) is an acoustic emission device that utilizes the nonlinear effect of sound waves propagating in a medium, and uses a transducer (array) to propagate two high-frequency initial waves in the same direction to obtain sound waves such as difference frequency and sum frequency. When the transducer emits sound waves that propagate in the medium, a series of secondary frequencies will be generated in the emission direction of the transducer, such as f1, f2, (f1+f2), (f1-f2), 2f1, and 2f2 sound wave signals. Because the frequencies of f1 and f2 are very close, the frequency of the difference frequency (f1-f2) is very low, achieving the purpose of the piezoelectric transducer to generate low frequencies. The bottom layer that is free on the surface of the riverbed and within a certain density is usually called the surface soft silt layer, which is composed of sticky fine-grained silt. The bottom surface silt has the characteristics of small particle size, low density and low consolidation degree. If it is used as a natural foundation or fill material, it will be an extremely weak bearing layer, and serious foundation settlement and other safety accidents are very likely to occur during the construction and operation of the project. In addition, in shipping projects, it is often necessary to measure the sedimentation of waterway silt and calculate the amount of earthwork for dredging. The source type of the profiler determines the frequency of the emitted sound waves. The frequency of the emitted sound waves determines the detection depth and resolution. The classification of profilers is based on the frequency of the emitted sound waves, that is, the source type (power classification of the same type of source).

[0036] In the present invention, water flow simulation is performed through water area hydrological data, so that the water flow conditions of the water area can be accurately understood, which is helpful to accurately select an exploration area suitable for dredging in the water area, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of dredging. After the exploration area is selected based on the water area water flow data, the emission of exploration waves is more targeted, avoiding unnecessary energy waste and improving the quality and reliability of exploration wave data. Since the selected exploration area is more accurate, the obtained exploration wave data is also more accurate, which is helpful to perform a more detailed analysis of the target layer, accurately analyze the structure, properties and distribution of the target layer, and provide a more powerful basis for cross-mud layer dredging operations. By obtaining hydrological data in advance and performing water flow simulation, it is possible to avoid selecting an unsuitable dredging area or the occurrence of an incorrect dredging position, thereby reducing unnecessary adjustments and corrections during the dredging process and reducing the dredging cost. Selecting a suitable exploration area and an optimized dredging plan reduces the risk of accidents during the dredging process and improves the safety and stability of the work.

[0037] Optionally, step S1 specifically includes:

[0038] Step S11: Acquire water area hydrological data;

[0039] Specifically, hydrological stations are set up in the waters to cover the entire exploration area to ensure the comprehensiveness and representativeness of the data. Hydrological observation equipment, such as water level meters and current meters, are equipped to collect data from each hydrological station regularly or in real time. Hydrological data includes parameters such as water level, flow velocity, and flow, and the collection frequency is usually once an hour or a day. The collected hydrological data is quality controlled and processed, including data cleaning, outlier processing, data interpolation, etc., to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data.

[0040] Step S12: constructing a hydrodynamic model according to the hydrological data of the water area to obtain a hydrodynamic model of the water area;

[0041] Specifically, a hydrodynamic model is selected according to the characteristics of the water area and the purpose of the study. Models include two-dimensional or three-dimensional numerical simulation models, statistical models, etc. Determine the parameters of the hydrodynamic model, such as bottom friction coefficient, turbulence parameters, etc. These parameters need to be calibrated and adjusted based on field observation data, or obtained through inquiries of relevant hydrological historical data. A hydrodynamic model is established based on hydrological data and topographic information. The two-dimensional model is based on data such as the water depth and flow velocity of the water area, and the three-dimensional model also needs to consider factors such as the water depth change and flow state of the water area. Verify the established hydrodynamic model, compare it with the measured data, and evaluate the accuracy and applicability of the model.

[0042] Step S13: Utilize the water area hydrodynamic model to simulate water flow and obtain water flow data of the water area.

[0043] Specifically, the boundary conditions of the hydrodynamic model are set, including water level boundary conditions, flow boundary conditions, etc. These boundary conditions are based on measured data or simulation results. The hydrodynamic model is used to simulate the water flow, and the motion equation of the water flow is solved by numerical methods to obtain water flow information such as flow velocity and flow direction at each point in the water area. The simulated water flow data is output in numerical form, usually including flow velocity field, flow direction field, etc. These data can be used for the selection and analysis of subsequent exploration areas.

[0044] In the present invention, step S11 obtains hydrological data of the water area, including information such as water level, flow velocity, and flow direction, which can accurately understand the hydrological characteristics of the water area and provide accurate basic data for the subsequent construction of the hydrodynamic model. Step S12 constructs a hydrodynamic model based on the hydrological data of the water area, taking into account factors such as the flow direction, speed, and flow rate of the water flow, and can more accurately simulate the movement law of the water flow in the water area, providing a reliable model basis for the subsequent water flow simulation. Step S13 performs water flow simulation on the water area hydrodynamic model, which can perform virtual simulation of the water flow in the water area, simulate the flow velocity, flow direction, etc. of the water flow at different positions, thereby obtaining water flow data of the water area, analyzing the dynamic changes of the water flow, and providing an accurate basis for the selection of subsequent exploration areas. By accurately simulating the water flow conditions of the water area, the area suitable for exploration can be more accurately determined, avoiding the selection of unsuitable areas or ignoring potential exploration targets, and improving the efficiency and success rate of exploration. By accurately simulating the water flow conditions, it is possible to avoid selecting risky areas for dredging, reducing the accidental risks during the dredging process, and improving the safety and stability of the work.

[0045] Optionally, step S13 is specifically:

[0046] Performing edge processing on water area image data in water area hydrological data to obtain water area image edge processing data;

[0047] Specifically, edge detection and enhancement are performed on the water area image data in the water area hydrological data to highlight the edge features of the water area and remove unnecessary background information. Edge detection algorithms such as Sobel operator and Canny edge detection are used.

[0048] Grid parameter generation is performed according to the edge processing data of the water area image to obtain grid parameter data;

[0049] Specifically, based on the edge-processed water area image data, mathematical modeling methods are used to generate the grid parameters required for the water area hydrodynamic model. The parameters include grid size, grid shape, grid density, etc., which need to be reasonably set according to the specific water area characteristics and water flow simulation requirements.

[0050] The hydrodynamic model of the water area is grid-divided by grid parameter data to obtain a hydrodynamic grid model of the water area;

[0051] Specifically, the hydrodynamic model of the water area is meshed through the generated mesh parameters, the water area is divided into multiple small mesh units, and numerical methods such as the finite element method and the finite volume method are used for meshing to achieve a refined description of the flow field in the water area.

[0052] The water area hydrodynamic grid model is used to perform numerical simulation calculations to obtain water flow data in the water area.

[0053] Specifically, after the grid division is completed, the numerical simulation method is used to calculate and simulate the water flow in the water area. The fluid dynamics equations such as the Navier-Stokes equations are used, combined with appropriate boundary conditions and initial conditions, and the numerical solution is iteratively solved to obtain the velocity field and pressure field data of the water flow in each grid unit. Computer simulation software such as FLUENT and OpenFOAM are needed for numerical simulation calculations.

[0054] Analyze and verify the water flow data obtained to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the simulation results. The results can be verified by comparing with measured data and existing hydrological model results to ensure the scientificity and credibility of the water flow simulation results.

[0055] In the present invention, by edge processing and grid parameter generation of water area hydrological data, a water area hydrodynamic grid model is obtained, which can describe the morphology and structure of the water area more finely, thereby simulating the movement law of water flow more accurately, and improving the accuracy and reliability of water flow data in the water area. When the water area hydrodynamic grid model is used for numerical simulation calculation, since the grid division has been performed, the calculation is performed more efficiently, the computing resources and time cost are saved, and the computing efficiency is improved. By accurately simulating the water flow situation, the distribution and change of the water flow in the water area can be better understood, which helps to optimize the selection of the exploration area, select the appropriate area for exploration, and improve the efficiency and success rate of the exploration. By accurately simulating the water flow data of the water area, an accurate basis can be provided for the formulation of the dredging plan, avoiding the selection of unsuitable areas or ignoring potential risks, and improving the accuracy and feasibility of the dredging plan. By accurately simulating the water flow situation and optimizing the dredging plan, the accidental risks in the dredging process are reduced, and the safety and stability of the work are improved.

[0056] Optionally, step S2 specifically includes:

[0057] Step S21: Acquire data of the area to be explored;

[0058] Specifically, relevant data of the waters to be explored are obtained and selected through water maps or satellite remote sensing images, including water depth, water flow velocity, hydrological characteristics, etc.

[0059] Step S22: dividing the data of the area to be explored into exploration areas according to the water area flow data to obtain exploration area division data;

[0060] Specifically, the water flow data of the water area is used to reasonably divide the exploration area according to factors such as water flow velocity, water depth, water area morphology, etc. For example, the water area is divided into different sub-areas such as high flow velocity area, low flow velocity area, deep water area, shallow water area, etc.

[0061] Step S23: extracting exploration area features from the exploration area division data to obtain exploration area feature data;

[0062] Specifically, feature extraction is performed on the divided water areas, including water flow velocity, water depth, water quality and other characteristics. Relevant data is acquired through remote sensing technology, hydrological measurement and other means, and then processed and analyzed.

[0063] Step S24: Prioritizing the exploration areas according to the exploration area characteristic data and the exploration area division data to obtain first exploration area data;

[0064] Specifically, the exploration area characteristic data and division data are combined to prioritize each area. Different priority evaluation indicators can be set according to different exploration purposes, such as water depth, water flow speed, water quality, etc., and then the exploration areas are ranked according to these indicators.

[0065] Step S25: Identify the dredging difficulty according to the characteristic data of the exploration area to obtain dredging difficulty data;

[0066] Specifically, based on the characteristic data of the exploration area, areas where dredging is more difficult are identified. For example, if the water flow in a certain area is turbulent and the water depth is large, dredging may be increased using hydrological data or water flow simulation data to obtain the flow velocity and direction information of the water flow in the exploration area.

[0067] Use fluid dynamics models, such as the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, to simulate water flow conditions. Analyze water flow velocity to detect whether there are areas with turbulent water flow. Difficulty of operation. Obtain the distribution of water depth in the exploration area based on hydrological data or topographic data. Areas with greater water depth require greater excavation depths, which increases the difficulty of dredging. Use topographic data in water hydrological data, such as digital elevation models (DEMs) or topographic maps, to analyze the topographic features of the exploration area. For example, whether there are steep slopes or cliffs, these topographic features increase the danger and difficulty of dredging operations. Comprehensively evaluate factors such as water flow conditions, water depth, and topography, and assign them corresponding weights. Use expert experience or data-driven methods to determine weights. Then, substitute the values ​​of each factor into the evaluation model to calculate the dredging difficulty score for each area. Compare the calculated dredging difficulty score with the preset threshold to identify areas with greater dredging difficulty, which require additional safety measures or adjustments to the operation plan.

[0068] Step S26: Prioritize the exploration areas according to the dredging difficulty data and the exploration area division data to obtain second exploration area data;

[0069] Specifically, the exploration areas are prioritized again by combining the dredging difficulty data and the division data. This time, the dredging difficulty factor will be taken into account, and areas with lower dredging difficulty will be selected as priority exploration areas.

[0070] Step S27: performing similarity weighted combination on the first exploration area data and the second exploration area data to obtain exploration area data.

[0071] Specifically, the results obtained from the first and second priority sorting are weighted and combined, and the characteristics of each area and the difficulty of dredging are considered to obtain the final exploration area data. The weighting method can be set according to the actual situation, and linear weighting, exponential weighting and other methods can be used.

[0072] In the present invention, through step S22, the data of the area to be explored is divided using the water flow data of the water area, and the area to be explored can be divided into different areas to better carry out subsequent exploration work. Step S23 extracts features from the exploration area division data, which can help identify the characteristics of different areas, such as geological structure, water flow conditions, etc., and provide a reference basis for subsequent exploration work. Step S24 prioritizes the exploration area feature data and the division data, and can screen out areas with higher exploration priorities, optimize the selection of exploration areas, and improve exploration efficiency. Step S25 identifies the difficulty of dredging, and can take the difficulty of dredging into account in the process of prioritizing the exploration area, so that the selected area is more in line with the actual operation requirements and reduces the possible risks in the dredging process. Steps S26 and S27 perform comprehensive weighted sorting of the exploration area according to different factors, so that the final selected exploration area is more comprehensive and reliable, which helps to improve the success rate and efficiency of exploration.

[0073] Optionally, step S22 is specifically:

[0074] Extract water flow velocity characteristics and water flow direction angle characteristics of the water area according to the water flow data of the water area, and obtain water flow velocity characteristic data and water flow direction angle characteristic data of the water area;

[0075] Specifically, hydrological measuring instruments or hydrological sensors are used to measure the water flow velocity at different locations in the water area, and the instruments include current meters, laser Doppler current meters, etc. The collected water flow velocity data is processed and analyzed to extract the water flow velocity characteristics at each location. Similarly, hydrological measuring instruments or sensors are used to collect water flow direction angle data at different locations in the water area, and the data is measured by current meters and other equipment, or the water area images are analyzed using computer vision technology to extract the water flow direction angle characteristics at each location.

[0076] Specifically, the image data of the water area can be obtained by a camera, satellite remote sensing or other image acquisition equipment. Edge detection algorithms, such as Canny edge detection, Sobel operator, etc., are used to detect edge information in the water area image. The edge represents the boundary of different areas in the image. For the detected edge information, the normal angle of the edge is calculated, the gradient information of the edge is detected using the Sobel operator or other gradient operators, and then the normal angle of each pixel is calculated. The calculated angle information is Gaussian filtered to eliminate noise or smooth angle changes. According to the calculated angle information, the water flow direction angle feature of each position is extracted, and the angle information of the surrounding pixels is comprehensively considered by using local area statistics or other feature extraction methods to obtain the water flow direction angle feature of each position. The extracted water flow direction angle feature is associated with the corresponding position information to form the water flow direction angle feature data of the water area.

[0077] Annotating the image data of the area to be explored in the data of the area to be explored according to the characteristic data of the water flow velocity in the water area and the characteristic data of the water flow direction angle in the water area to obtain the image annotation data of the area to be explored;

[0078] Specifically, the collected water area water flow velocity characteristic data and water flow direction angle characteristic data are annotated with the image data of the area to be explored through geographic information system (GIS) software, or the corresponding positions of the image data are directly annotated with the two extracted characteristic data to associate the water flow characteristic data with the map layer.

[0079] Performing color feature extraction on the image annotation data of the area to be explored to obtain color feature data of the image of the area to be explored;

The exploration wave data is obtained by transmitting the exploration wave. This step adopts advanced exploration technology and can quickly obtain geological information at the bottom of the water area, providing data support for subsequent target layer analysis. The target layer analysis uses advanced electromagnetic exploration technology, combined with complex steps such as electromagnetic data processing, filtering, and superposition, to accurately identify the target layer structure and characteristics of the bottom of the water, providing important geological information and guidance for cross-mud layer dredging operations. By integrating hydrological data and water flow simulation, as well as accurately selecting the exploration area, unnecessary exploration can be avoided, interference with the ecological environment of the water area and waste of resources can be reduced, which is conducive to protecting the integrity and stability of the water ecosystem. Through precise target layer analysis, the depth and thickness of the target layer as well as the nature and thickness of the covering layer can be accurately understood, which provides an important reference for dredging operations, improves operational efficiency, and reduces unnecessary costs and time waste.
