Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of geological exploration and experiments, and in particular to a geological scene perception modeling system and method for coal mine robots. Background Art

[0002] China is rich in coal resources. However, due to poor coal mine geological conditions and low intelligent level of mining equipment, the mining efficiency is reduced and the incidence of work safety accidents is increased. The fully mechanized coal mining face environment of coal mine robots is complex and harsh. The traditional pre-mining detection and modeling have low efficiency and poor accuracy, and cannot dynamically correct the geological model in real time. Coal mine robots lack the ability of autonomous perception and real-time response. Bad geological structures such as small faults and fracture zones during the construction process increase the tunneling technical difficulty and affect the tunneling speed and safety. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop an experimental system and method that can realize real-time geological scene perception modeling.

[0003] Unmanned intelligent and precise mining is the core of coal mine intelligent construction. The precise mining of coal mine robots requires them to have the ability of autonomous environment perception and real-time adjustment. Due to the harsh underground environment, especially insufficient light, a lot of dust, high humidity and other reasons, different impacts are caused on sensors, resulting in certain defects in the integrated modeling of the geological scene of the fully mechanized coal mining face. At present, geological modeling and scene modeling are carried out using different technologies, and both geological and scene modeling are pre-modeled manually, resulting in problems such as low modeling efficiency, high model coupling complexity, low model accuracy, and difficult update. At present, the geological modeling of ground penetrating radar mainly focuses on the research of propagation characteristics in coal and rock media. The propagation mechanism of sensing signals in the complex geology of the coal mining face is not clear. There is a lack of research on the propagation characteristics of electromagnetic wave echo signals in the gas-coal-rock cross-media during the operation of robots.

Through the experimental analysis module, the forward data and the data truly collected by the ground-penetrating radar are compared, analyzed, and tested to construct a dataset corresponding to the wave field response characteristics of typical geological structures and the true structure parameters. Combining software simulation forward simulation and ground-penetrating radar simulation experiments, the propagation characteristics of the echo signals of the ground-penetrating radar during the gas-coal-rock cross-media process are studied. By changing parameters such as the polarization direction of the ground-penetrating radar antenna and the different physical property parameters of the coal seam geology, the influence mechanism of different conditions on the echo signals of the ground-penetrating radar is explored, and the relationship between factors such as the dielectric constant, electromagnetic characteristics, radar frequency, and antenna deployment in typical structures of coal and rock geology is clarified; through the experimental analysis module, the software simulation and actual simulation experiment data are analyzed and processed to establish a radar echo dataset for different geological structures, realizing the identification of different geological anomalies and providing a basis for the inversion imaging and modeling of the ground-penetrating radar; using methods such as multi-profile and linear interpolation to process the B-scan data collected in the experiment, and determining the spatial position and size of the geological structure anomaly through the radar echo time difference and the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves in the medium, realizing the three-dimensional modeling of the coal seam geology. The three-dimensional geological model established by the simulation experiment is compared and analyzed with the coal seam geological simulation module with known structure sizes to explore the accuracy and error of the three-dimensional geological modeling under different conditions. During the process of the integrated geological scene modeling experiment, as Figure 6 shown, the pose information of sensors such as lidar, visible light camera, infrared camera, and ground-penetrating radar is obtained through a truth measurement device. The data information of the lidar, visible light camera, and frequency-modulated continuous wave radar on the scene and the data information of the ground-penetrating radar and infrared camera on the coal seam geological simulation module are collected simultaneously through the relevant steps in the scene modeling experiment and the relevant steps in the geological modeling experiment. Through the experimental analysis system, three-dimensional modeling of the collected scene and geological information is carried out. Combining multiple constraints such as geological observation information and multi-source observation information of the scene, and using the sensor pose information, the coordinate systems of the two models are unified to achieve integrated geological scene modeling. According to the scene truth and the truth of the geological model obtained by the truth measurement device, the accuracy and error of the integrated geological scene modeling are analyzed, the description method of the integrated geological and scene model is studied, a multi-layer probability grid map construction strategy is proposed, and seamless connection and homogeneous expression of the geological model and the scene model are realized. By designing a model dynamic correction mechanism for mutual verification and joint inversion of the scene model and the geological model, high-efficiency and high-precision modeling of the geology and scene of the fully mechanized coal mining face is realized.
