Description

Technical Field

[0001] The technical field to which the present invention relates mainly targets various types of dangerous rock slopes that are already in the sliding stage, and develops a new remote crack development monitoring system and method, so as to obtain key data at the disaster site in real time while ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment, and conduct scientific research analysis and landslide warning. Technical Background

[0002] The stability and safety of slopes have always been a major issue in the construction of highways, bridges, reservoirs, dams and other projects. The consequences of slope instability and damage are immeasurable. A large number of scholars at home and abroad have studied the mechanism of slope instability and damage. Among the three stages of slope sliding, the accelerated sliding stage is considered to be the most destructive and difficult to study. The main reason is that the accelerated sliding stage of the slope is short, fast, highly dangerous and destructive. In the monitoring of natural slopes, it is very difficult to obtain data such as crack opening displacement and rate during the accelerated sliding stage.

[0003] There is a great danger after the slope continues to crack, and it is almost impossible to measure the displacement at a short distance. At present, the displacement measurement of the sliding slope is usually monitored by pre-buried strain gauges. However, pre-buried strain gauges and other instruments have the following defects: ① can only collect data at specific points; ② it is very easy to be damaged during the deformation and destruction of the slope, and no remediation can be carried out after the damage; ③ once its location and environment change, the collected data is very easy to be distorted. Considering that the deformation and destruction of the slope in the acceleration stage are usually inseparable from rainfall, based on the sensitivity of slope deformation and destruction to rainfall intensity and duration, regional rainfall is difficult to accurately represent the real-time rainfall intensity and duration of the slope at a specific location, and the slope will release a large amount of energy at the moment of destruction, resulting in short-term changes in temperature and humidity in the local environment. The present invention designs a sliding slope remote crack development monitor with both rainfall and temperature and humidity monitoring functions to safely and effectively collect key data at the disaster site. Summary of the invention

[0052] The method of the present invention is introduced below with a practical application case. First, image acquisition is performed. The above-mentioned image is selected in each direction outside the landslide surface. Figure 2 The equal elevation and equal distance points A, B, C, D are shown, and their actual elevations and distances are recorded.

[0053] A remote crack development monitor for high-risk sliding slopes is placed near the landslide where the slope cracks can be clearly observed. After the instrument is installed, the camera position is adjusted so that the selected equal-elevation points and equal-distance points can be completely included in the monitoring image.

The calibrated and adjusted image is shown in Figure 3 ;

[0063] S12 converts the color image to a grayscale image. Figure 4 ;

[0064] S12 converts the grayscale image into a binary image, identifies the independent units in the image and numbers them. Figure 5 ;

Input m and n into the computer;

[0068] S22 counts the number of pixels L in the x direction of crack No. 90, using the formula Calculate the length l of crack No. 90;

[0069] S23 counts the number of pixels in the y direction at different positions of crack No. 90 H i , through the formula Calculate the width h of crack No. 90 at different positions i According to the number of pixels in the crack length direction counted in ②, the value range of i is [1, L], and the width of crack No. 90 is taken as its average width

[0070] S24 by formula Calculate the crack opening area S;

[0071] S25 by formula Calculate the crack opening rate v, where t k+1 -t kis the time interval between the k+1th crack measurement and the kth crack measurement;

[0072] S26 Comparison With l size, when When , the length and width of the crack are recalculated, and the number of pixels in the y direction of the crack is counted H, and the formula Calculate the crack length h;

[0073] S27 counts the number of pixels L at different positions in the crack in the x direction i , through the formula Calculate the width l of the crack at different positions i According to the number of pixels in the crack length direction counted in ⑥, the value range of i is [1,H], and the crack width is taken as its average width The results output by the computer processor include time, temperature, humidity, rainfall intensity, crack length, crack width, crack opening area, and crack opening rate. The final output results are automatically saved in the data storage.

[0074] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it.
