Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent detection and analysis of tunnel construction, and in particular to an intelligent detection device and method for hidden engineering of tunnel construction based on machine vision. Background Art

[0002] Tunnel construction work surface analysis is a key technical management task in the tunnel construction process. It covers the comprehensive evaluation and prediction of the geological conditions in front of the tunnel excavation face, the stability of the surrounding rock, potential risks (such as landslides, water gushing, gas outbursts, etc.) and the construction technology plan. The main purpose of the work surface analysis is to ensure the safety and efficiency of tunnel excavation. Through detailed geological forecasts, on-site monitoring and measurement, and data analysis, it provides a scientific basis for construction decisions. Its content includes but is not limited to the following two aspects: 1. Geological prediction: understand the rock properties, structure, and joint fissure development in front, and analyze and prevent possible adverse geological problems based on this. 2. Support detection and optimization: The role of tunnel support is to ensure the stability and safety of the tunnel structure, prevent the collapse and deformation of the surrounding rock, and analyze whether the support construction is carried out in accordance with the design standards. It is directly related to the safety of tunnel operations.

[0003] Regarding the inspection process of support construction on the tunnel construction working surface, the current situation is that the staff regularly go to the site to check the situation, manually measure the support spacing and record the data, and after the unified summary of the information is reported, a dedicated person will check the reported measurement data and design standards. This process is inefficient and cannot timely discover the possibility of safety accidents caused by construction that does not meet the design requirements. In addition, manual measurement and recording are prone to errors and omissions. Some supports on site are at a high position. Manual measurement is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to safety hazards.

[0004] Regarding the analysis of the surrounding rock of the tunnel construction working face, the current situation is that the staff regularly go to the site to collect photo data of the surrounding rock of the tunnel face. After summarizing the data, experienced technicians analyze the surrounding rock photos and issue results. This process is similar to the above-mentioned support data collection, and it also has the disadvantages of low efficiency, failure to find problems in time, and incomplete data collection.

[0005] In summary, the problems existing in the detection of support rod construction include: (1) the support rod is too high to be measured or the measurement is difficult; (2) it is impossible to judge whether the project meets the design requirements in time; (3) the working distance adjacent to the tunnel face is dangerous; (4) the manual statistics of on-site technicians are slow, the data are prone to errors or omissions, and the efficiency of paper data processing is low. The problems existing in the detection of tunnel face surrounding rock include: (1) it is impossible to judge the surrounding rock condition of the tunnel face in time; (2) the manual data collection of on-site technicians is prone to errors or omissions, and the efficiency of paper data processing is low.

[0006] Therefore, how to focus on the lightweight intelligent detection technology and equipment for the quality of hidden projects in railway construction, and propose a highly integrated and comprehensive intelligent detection and analysis equipment and method for hidden projects in tunnel construction based on machine vision to automatically realize the quality identification and detection of hidden railway projects, is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0079] First, the training preparation needs to be pre-loaded into the intelligent detection equipment. It includes the following steps: (1) Data preparation: Collect data, use a structured light camera to collect enough RGB images and corresponding depth images. Label the data, annotate the bounding box for the target object in each RGB image, and record the position information of the support rod in the depth image, so as to calculate the distance between objects later. (2) Model training: Preprocessing, convert the RGB image and depth image into a format suitable for YOLO model input. Scale the image to a uniform size and normalize the depth image. Fusion RGB and depth information, design a network structure, add additional branches to process depth information on the basis of YOLO, or fuse the RGB image and depth image into a four-channel input. Training model, use the labeled data set to train the YOLO model to ensure that the model can accurately detect the support rod and output its position information. (3) Distance calculation: Extract bounding box, extract the bounding box coordinates of each detected object from the output of the YOLO model. Obtain depth value, according to the corresponding position of the bounding box in the depth image, obtain the average depth or center point depth value of each object. Calculate the distance: Use the depth values ​​of the two objects and their relative positions in the image to calculate the actual distance between the objects through the triangulation principle or the camera's intrinsic parameter matrix.
