However, it should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this application for ease of explanation. However, it will be apparent that one or more embodiments may be implemented without these specific details. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of this application.

[0038] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. The terms “comprising,” “including,” etc., as used herein indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

[0039] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the context of this specification, and not in an idealized or overly rigid way.

[0040] The accompanying drawings show some block diagrams and / or flowcharts. It should be understood that some blocks or combinations thereof in the block diagrams and / or flowcharts can be implemented by computer program instructions. These computer program instructions can be provided to a processor of a general-purpose computer, a special-purpose computer, or other programmable data processing device, so that when executed by the processor, these instructions can create means for implementing the functions / operations described in these block diagrams and / or flowcharts.

[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a karst tunnel surrounding rock defect monitoring device provided in an embodiment of this application; the karst tunnel surrounding rock defect monitoring device provided in this embodiment includes: a pole-shaped unmanned aerial vehicle 100, a tracked unmanned vehicle 200, and a control system 300; wherein...

[0042] The pole-shaped unmanned aerial vehicle 100 includes an airborne 3D laser scanning sensor and a helical fan motor connected by a telescopic elastic detection pole; when the helical fan motor is not activated, the extension line of the telescopic elastic detection pole points in a first direction; when the helical fan motor is activated, the extension line of the telescopic elastic detection pole points in a second direction; the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular.

[0043] In some embodiments, the pole-shaped drone 100 further includes a helical fan blade and a protective shell for the helical fan blade; when the helical fan blade motor is activated, the helical fan blade provides airflow to adjust the direction of the telescopic elastic probe.

[0044] For example, the specific structure of the pole-shaped drone 100 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, component 101 is an airborne 3D laser scanning sensor, component 102 is a telescopic elastic detection rod, component 103 is a spiral fan blade protective shell, component 104 is a spiral fan blade, and component 105 is a spiral fan blade motor. The module comprises an airborne 3D laser scanning sensor, a telescopic elastic probe, and a spiral fan motor, providing pitch freedom. The front section of the probe is a telescopic elastic rod, allowing it to extend and retract through curved karst cave entrances. A transparent protective shell surrounds the airborne 3D laser scanning sensor connected to the front of the telescopic elastic probe. The rear section of the telescopic elastic probe is a rigid rod, supporting the spiral fan structure connected to its rear end as a counterweight. The telescopic elastic probe can extend into the interior of karst caves and other defects on the sides and top of karst tunnels for three-dimensional structural detection. When detecting the top of the tunnel, the spiral fan motor is not activated, and the entire module hangs naturally with the airborne 3D laser scanning sensor facing upwards and the spiral fan motor facing downwards. When detecting the side of the tunnel, the spiral fan indicated by the spiral fan motor is activated, and the module gradually becomes horizontal, with the airborne 3D laser scanning sensor facing forward and the spiral fan motor facing backwards. It should be noted that the telescopic elastic detection rod 102 can be divided into multiple segments, allowing it to cover detection points at different distances during the detection process, thereby expanding the detection range. Furthermore, because it is elastic, it can detect along curved paths, thus adapting to a wider range of detection scenarios.

[0045] The tracked unmanned vehicle 200 includes a probe fixing device, a limiting post, an onboard 3D laser scanning sensor, tracks, a tracked odometer, and an inertial measurement unit. The probe fixing device is used to fix the telescopic elastic probe, and the limiting post is used to cooperate with the limiting groove on the rod-shaped UAV. It should be noted that the onboard 3D laser scanning sensor can work with the tracked odometer and inertial measurement unit to calculate the position, attitude, and trajectory of the tracked unmanned vehicle.

[0046] In some embodiments, the conical sides of the limiting post and the limiting groove are provided with buffer pads.

[0047] In some embodiments, the limiting post and limiting groove are provided with hardware interfaces to complete data transmission and power supply between the pole-shaped drone and the tracked unmanned vehicle.

[0048] In one example, the specific structure of the tracked unmanned vehicle 200 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, component 201 is a probe rod fixing device, component 202 is a limit post interface, component 203 is a vehicle-mounted 3D laser scanning sensor, and component 204 is a track.

[0049] The pole-mounted drone 100 and the tracked unmanned vehicle 200 can be connected via a connection platform. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the connection platform provided in the embodiment of this application; wherein, component 111 is a limiting groove interface, component 112 is a motor bearing, component 113 is an energy data control center, and component 114 is a binocular camera.

[0050] The control system 300 is configured to control the activities of the stick-type unmanned aerial vehicle and the tracked unmanned vehicle. Here, the control system 300 can be an automatic control system.

[0051] In an alternative embodiment, when the pole-shaped drone 100 is mounted on the tracked unmanned vehicle 200, the tracked unmanned vehicle 200 and the pole-shaped drone 100 perform integrated detection. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the separation of the drone and the unmanned vehicle provided in an embodiment of this application, with the control system 300 and... Figure 1 The same applies, so it will not be displayed here. For example... Figure 5 As shown, when the stick-shaped UAV 100 detaches from the tracked UAV 200 and flies, the tracked UAV 200 stops moving, and the two communicate wirelessly. The UAV establishes a spherical reference system with the stick-shaped UAV 100 as the origin of the coordinates and is controlled by the operator to fly within the safe radius of the set reference system. When the stick-shaped UAV 100 flies close to the safe radius, the operator's control is transferred to the automatic control system, which then controls the stick-shaped UAV 100.

[0052] The karst tunnel surrounding rock disease monitoring equipment proposed in this application can extend into the interior of karst tunnel sidewalls and top surface surrounding rock, such as caves, to conduct three-dimensional structural detection and obtain a more comprehensive spatial structure of karst tunnel diseases. When the UAV is mounted on the unmanned vehicle, the two communicate via a hardware interface for energy transfer and wired communication. When the UAV is detached from the unmanned vehicle and flies, the two communicate wirelessly in real time. During the monitoring process, it can provide more comprehensive and flexible data acquisition capabilities.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating the method for monitoring surrounding rock defects in karst tunnels provided in this application embodiment; the method for monitoring surrounding rock defects in karst tunnels provided in this application embodiment, applied to the monitoring equipment of the first aspect, includes:

[0054] The S610 uses a pole-mounted drone and a tracked unmanned vehicle to acquire point cloud data of the surrounding rock of karst tunnels; the point cloud data of the surrounding rock of karst tunnels includes spatial location information and reflection intensity information.

[0055] S620 extracts features from spatial location information and reflection intensity information to obtain the characteristics of surrounding rock defects in karst tunnels.

[0056] S630 integrates and classifies the characteristics of surrounding rock defects in karst tunnels to determine the types of defects.

[0057] In some embodiments, S610, point cloud data of the surrounding rock of karst tunnels are acquired using a pole-mounted drone and a tracked unmanned vehicle, respectively, including:

[0058] When probing the surrounding rock at the top of the tunnel, the spiral fan motor is kept off so that the extension line of the telescopic elastic probe points in the first direction, thereby acquiring point cloud data of the karst tunnel surrounding rock at the top of the tunnel.

[0059] In some embodiments, S610, point cloud data of the surrounding rock of karst tunnels are acquired using a pole-mounted drone and a tracked unmanned vehicle, respectively, including:

[0060] When probing the surrounding rock on the side of the tunnel, the spiral fan motor is started so that the extension line of the telescopic elastic probe points in the second direction to obtain point cloud data of the karst tunnel surrounding rock on the side of the tunnel.

[0061] In some embodiments, S620, feature extraction is performed on the spatial location information and reflection intensity information to obtain the characteristics of karst tunnel surrounding rock defects, including:

[0062] Based on spatial location information and reflection intensity information, wavelet packet transform decomposition is used to divide the karst tunnel surrounding rock point cloud data into multiple different levels to obtain the karst tunnel surrounding rock disease characteristics, which include point features, line features, surface features and volume features.

[0063] In this embodiment, data acquired by the pole-mounted UAV and the tracked unmanned vehicle are registered and stored in the pole-mounted UAV and the tracked unmanned vehicle respectively. The point cloud data score is calculated using a point cloud quality evaluation method, and the unmanned vehicle is trained using reinforcement learning algorithms and operator assistance to achieve automatic driving. After measurement, the data is uploaded to the backend command and dispatch system. Based on the spatial location and reflection intensity information of the point cloud, wavelet packet transform decomposition is used to divide the karst tunnel surrounding rock point cloud data into different levels. Defect point clouds are extracted and clustered, and the defect point clouds are fitted into spatial elements of points, lines, surfaces, and volumes. R-tree spatial indexing is used to organize and store different types of surrounding rock defects and their characteristics. Point clouds are acquired using manned equipment, i.e., using stationary and handheld 3D laser scanning equipment to periodically acquire more accurate overall point cloud data of the karst tunnel surrounding rock as a supplement. This data is uploaded to the backend command and dispatch system and registered with the point cloud acquired by the unmanned equipment to achieve multi-source heterogeneous point cloud data fusion. In the background system, neural networks and expert systems are combined to classify defects under different processes, and a bidirectional reference is established between spatial data and attribute data of different types of karst tunnel surrounding rock defects based on the spatial database management system. For example, the specific steps may include: 1) using 3D laser scanning unmanned equipment and manned equipment in collaboration to obtain karst tunnel surrounding rock point cloud data; 2) extracting karst tunnel surrounding rock defects based on the spatial location information and reflection intensity information of the point cloud data in step (1); 3) fitting the defect point cloud in step (2) into spatial entities of shapes such as points, lines, surfaces, and volumes, and integrating their corresponding attribute information to classify various types of defects; 4) importing the karst tunnel surrounding rock defects classified from different tunnel processes in step (3) into the spatial database management system.
