[0002] In some tunnel construction operations, milling equipment is used for tunnel excavation to reduce the impact of excavation on surrounding rock formations or ground facilities. During the milling operation, the milling equipment performs milling operations on the face through the milling head. After milling to a certain depth, support is performed, and then further milling is performed. Support and milling operations are performed alternately. In the existing milling scheme, construction personnel operate the rocker arm with a milling head on the milling equipment to perform milling operations on the face. Usually, the extension direction of the rocker arm is consistent with the extension direction of the construction personnel's line of sight, which makes it difficult for construction personnel to judge the extension distance of the rocker arm. As a result, when the rocker arm is extended from the middle of the tunnel to mill the edge of the face, it is easy to cause under-excavation or over-excavation due to inaccurate judgment of the milling depth, and subsequent construction is required for remedial work, affecting construction efficiency.

[0021] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an AI-based milling and excavation boundary control system provided in this embodiment, the system may include a data processing device 100, a first image acquisition device 200 and a projection device 300.

[0022] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the application scenario of the solution provided in this embodiment is that the milling and digging equipment 600 may be a cantilever milling and digging equipment 600 with a milling and digging head, and the milling and digging equipment 600 may include a body and a cantilever. The first image acquisition device 200 and the projection device 300 may be arranged on the milling and digging equipment 600. The first image acquisition device 200 may be arranged on the body, and the acquisition direction of the first image acquisition device 200 may deviate from the extension direction of the cantilever, and the projection device 300 may be arranged on the body, and the projection direction of the projection device 300 may be along the extension direction of the cantilever.

[0023] For example, the body of the milling and digging equipment 600 is provided with a cab, and during the operation of the milling and digging equipment 600, the posture seat in the cab is usually facing the tunnel face 700. The projection direction of the projection device 300 can be consistent with the direction of the driver's seat, and the image acquisition direction of the first image acquisition device 200 can be opposite to the direction of the driver's seat.

[0024] The data processing device 100, the first image acquisition device 200 and the projection device 300 cooperate with each other to implement the AI-based milling and excavation boundary control method provided in this embodiment.

[0025] Specifically, see Figure 3 The AI-based milling and excavation boundary control method may include the following steps.

[0026] Step S110, performing image acquisition in a direction away from the tunnel face 700 of the target tunnel by a first image acquisition device arranged on the milling and excavation device 600, and obtaining first image data of at least three target positioning markers 900 including the excavated area of ​​the target tunnel.

[0027] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, the target tunnel may include an excavated area and an area to be excavated, wherein the excavated area may be an area where excavation or support has been completed, and the inner wall of the tunnel in this area will not be subjected to a large number of construction operations in a short period of time. The target positioning marker 900 may be respectively set at at least three different specific locations in the area. The target positioning marker 900 may be an indicator light of a special color. For example, the target positioning marker 900 may be respectively set at the arch, the middle of the tunnel wall on both sides, and the bottom of the tunnel side walls on both sides.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the milling and excavation equipment 600 performs milling and excavation operations toward the tunnel face 700, the first image acquisition device 200 arranged on the milling and excavation equipment 600 can perform image acquisition toward the excavated area, and the acquired image can include at least three of the above-mentioned target positioning markers 900.

[0029] It should be noted that, as the excavation of the tunnel face 700 progresses, the position of the target positioning marker 900 can also be adjusted accordingly, but the advancement speed of the target positioning marker 900 can be much lower than the advancement speed of the tunnel face 700. For example, the milling and digging equipment 600 alternately performs milling and digging and support at a speed of 1 meter per excavation, and after 50 milling and digging advances (i.e., 50 meters), it advances 50 meters along the extension direction of the tunnel to reinstall or set the target positioning marker 900. In this way, it can be ensured that the image captured by the first image acquisition device 200 can clearly capture the target positioning marker 900, and it can also avoid the frequent movement of the target positioning marker 900 affecting the construction progress.

[0030] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the setting position of each target positioning marker 900 should be relatively fixed, so that the relative position relationship between the milling and excavation equipment 600 and each target positioning marker 900 can be determined in subsequent steps.

[0031] Step S120: input the first image data into a pre-trained correction prediction model for processing to obtain a first distortion correction parameter.

[0032] Step S130 , projecting a structured light pattern for indicating a milling boundary toward the tunnel face 700 by means of the projection device 300 disposed on the milling device 600 , and performing slope distortion correction on the structured light pattern according to the first distortion correction parameter.

[0033] Step S140 , performing milling operations on the tunnel face 700 according to the structured light pattern instruction.

[0034] In this embodiment, in step S130, when the milling device 600 performs milling operation toward the tunnel face 700, the projection device 300 disposed on the milling device 600 may project a structured light pattern on the tunnel face 700. The structured light pattern may include a stripe pattern or a grid pattern.

[0035] When the structured light pattern is projected on a relatively flat plane, the stripes or grids therein will not be distorted. However, when it is projected on an uneven plane or at the junction of surfaces, the stripes and grids therein will be distorted.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the structured light pattern is projected at the junction of the tunnel face 700 and the tunnel side wall, the distortion of the structured light pattern can clearly show the junction position of the current tunnel face 700 and the side wall. In addition, different morphological lines or lines of different colors can be projected in the structured light pattern to indicate the desired milling and excavation boundary indication line. In this way, in step S140, the construction personnel operating the milling and excavation equipment 600 can see the desired milling and excavation boundary indication line from the structured light pattern, and can clearly see the current milling and excavation boundary according to the distortion of the structured light pattern, so that the milling and excavation operation can be better performed accordingly.

[0037] In this example, see Figure 5 , during the milling operation of the milling device 600, the position of the milling device 600 relative to the tunnel face 700 may move, and the milling device 600 does not always perform the milling operation perpendicularly toward the tunnel face 700. When the projection device 300 projects the structured light pattern toward the tunnel face 700, the projection angle and projection direction will also change accordingly. Different projection angles and projection directions will cause the projected structured light pattern to produce slope distortion.

[0038] Therefore, before performing the projection, step S120 may be performed first. In step S120, the collected first image data may be input into a pre-trained correction prediction model for processing. The correction prediction model may determine the corresponding first distortion correction parameter according to the first image data.

[0039] Specifically, step S120 may include the following sub-steps.

[0040] Step S121, inputting the first image data into the feature extraction module of the correction prediction model, identifying the positions of at least three target positioning markers 900 in the first image data through the feature extraction module, and obtaining a position feature vector.

[0041] That is, the feature extraction module can perform image content recognition on the first image data, and determine the positions of at least three of the target positioning markers 900 in the first image data as the position feature vector.

[0042] Specifically, when the milling and digging device 600 is in different positions, the shooting angle or shooting direction of the first image acquisition device 200 is different. In this case, the relative position of the captured target positioning marker 900 in the first image data is also different. Therefore, the position of each target positioning marker 900 in the first image data can also represent the relative position relationship between the milling and digging device 600 and each target positioning marker 900, and the relative position of each target positioning marker 900 and the face 700 is fixed, so the position feature vector obtained in step S121 can also represent the relative position relationship between the milling and digging device 600 and the face 700.

[0043] Step S122: input the position feature vector into the regression prediction module of the correction prediction model to obtain the first distortion correction parameter determined by the regression prediction module according to the position feature vector.

[0044] Specifically, after the position feature vector is determined in step S121, a regression prediction can be performed according to the position feature vector in step S122 to determine the corresponding first distortion correction parameter. The first distortion correction parameter can be used to perform slope distortion correction on the structured light image in step S130, thereby offsetting the distortion caused by the projection device 300 tilting toward the palm face 700 during the projection process.

[0045] Based on the above design, in the solution provided in this embodiment, the first image acquisition device 200 arranged on the milling and excavation equipment 600 performs image acquisition in the direction away from the tunnel face 700 of the target tunnel to obtain the first image data, and the first distortion correction parameter is determined according to at least three target positioning markers 900 in the first image data through the pre-trained correction prediction model, and then the structured light pattern corrected by the first distortion correction parameter is projected toward the tunnel face 700 by the projection device 300 arranged on the milling and excavation equipment 600. In this way, when the milling and excavation equipment 600 is moving in the target tunnel, a suitable structured light pattern indicating the milling and excavation boundary can also be automatically projected on the tunnel face 700, and the construction personnel can more clearly determine the milling and excavation boundary according to the structured light pattern, thereby reducing the risk of under-excavation or over-excavation in the milling and excavation process.

[0046] In some possible implementations, the method provided in this embodiment may further include step S210.

[0047] Step S210, obtaining equipment parameters of the milling and digging equipment 600, wherein the milling and digging equipment 600 includes a main body and a cantilever provided with a milling and digging head, and the equipment parameters include an operating distance parameter characterizing the distance range between the main body of the milling and digging equipment 600 and the tunnel face 700 when performing milling and digging operations.

[0048] Specifically, when the milling head of the same milling equipment 600 rotates to perform milling operations, the body of the milling equipment 600 usually does not move. The extension and movement of the cantilever drive the milling head to perform milling operations on different positions. Therefore, the projected structured light pattern does not need to be adjusted during this process.

[0049] However, different milling and digging equipment 600 have different cantilever lengths, so the distance between the milling and digging equipment 600 and the tunnel face 700 will also be different, which will lead to different projection distances of the projection device 300. In order to avoid projection image distortion or change in projection image range caused by different projection distances, in step S130, the first image data and the device parameters can be input into a pre-trained correction prediction model for processing to obtain the first distortion correction parameters. That is, the first distortion correction parameters are determined based on the first image data and the device parameters.

[0050] In some possible implementations, step S130 may further include the following sub-steps.

[0051] Step S131, obtaining tunnel excavation parameters of the target tunnel, wherein the tunnel excavation parameters are used to indicate the size and / or shape of the inner wall of the tunnel that needs to be excavated.

[0052] In this embodiment, the design requirements of the target tunnel may be acquired in advance, and tunnel excavation parameters may be entered according to the design requirements.

[0053] Step S132 , generating a corresponding structured light pattern according to the tunnel excavation parameters, and projecting the structured light pattern toward the tunnel face 700 by means of the projection device 300 disposed on the milling device 600 .

[0054] In this embodiment, a corresponding structured light pattern can be generated according to the tunnel excavation parameters. For example, in a striped or grid-shaped structured light pattern, a milling boundary indicator line that is consistent with the tunnel excavation parameters is formed by projecting different lines or different colors.

[0055] It should be noted that in this embodiment, in order to better display the current milling and excavation boundary through the distortion of the structured light pattern, the coverage area of ​​the structured light pattern needs to be larger than the area of ​​the tunnel face 700, and at least part of the structured light pattern needs to cover the junction of the tunnel face 700 and the tunnel side wall, or cover the junction of the tunnel face 700 and the ground.

[0056] In some possible implementations, the working status data of the milling and digging equipment 600 can be obtained first, and then, based on the working status data, when it is detected that the milling and digging equipment 600 drives the first image acquisition device 200 and / or the projection device 300 to move or rotate, new first image data can be recaptured and a new structured light pattern can be projected.

[0057] Specifically, during the process of the milling head of the milling equipment 600 rotating to perform milling, the body of the milling equipment 600 usually does not move or rotate, and only the cantilever moves to drive the milling head to perform milling. Therefore, the projected structured light pattern at this stage does not need to perform new slope distortion correction.

[0058] After completing the milling of a small area, the milling device 600 moves or rotates at a certain angle to mill another small area. In this case, the projection device 300 moves or rotates with the milling device 600. Therefore, whenever it is detected that the milling device 600 drives the first image acquisition device 200 and / or the projection device 300 to move or rotate, the new first image data is recaptured and the new structured light pattern is projected, that is, the projection of the new structured light image and the slope distortion correction action are re-executed to ensure the accuracy of the projected structured light image.

[0059] In some possible implementations, the structured light pattern includes a grid pattern. The solution provided in this embodiment may also include the following steps.

[0060] Step S310: A second image acquisition device disposed on the milling device 600 performs image acquisition toward the tunnel face 700 to obtain second image data including the structured light pattern.

[0061] Step S320: determining a position correction parameter according to the distortion of the structured light pattern in the second image data at the junction of the tunnel face 700 and the tunnel side wall.

[0062] Step S330: adjusting the projection position of the structured light pattern according to the position correction parameter.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, in step S120, the correction prediction model can determine the position feature vector that can roughly characterize the relative position relationship between the milling and digging equipment 600 and the tunnel face 700 according to the position of each target positioning marker 900 in the first image data. However, for different milling and digging equipment 600, the setting position of the projection device 300 or the overall height of the milling and digging equipment 600 may be different.

[0064] Furthermore, since the structured light pattern may be distorted at the boundary of the current tunnel face 700 , in step S310 , second image data of the tunnel face 700 after the structured light pattern is projected onto the tunnel face 700 may be acquired by a second image acquisition device.

[0065] In step S320 and step S330, the position of the projected structured light pattern can be adjusted according to the distorted position of the structured light pattern in the second image data at the boundary of the current tunnel face 700. For example, the projected structured light pattern can be moved or scaled so that the milling boundary indicator line in the structured light pattern is aligned with the position where the distortion is currently generated at the boundary of the tunnel face 700. In this way, it is ensured that the pattern projected by the projection device 300 can be accurately aligned with the tunnel face 700.

[0066] In some possible implementations, the method provided in this embodiment may further include step S340.

[0067] Step S340 , adjusting the projection colors of different projection positions on the structured light pattern according to the positions of the concave-convex distortion of the structured light pattern in the second image data.

[0068] Specifically, during the milling process, there is an unevenness between the area that has been milled and the area that has not yet been milled. In order to better display the area that has not yet been milled, when projecting the grid of the structured light pattern, the color of the line of the grid projected to the position where the concave-convex distortion occurs in the second image can be adjusted to indicate the situation of the corresponding area.

[0069] For example, the grid lines at the positions that are prominent relative to other areas are projected in red, and the grid lines at other flat areas (areas where the grid is not distorted) are projected in green.

[0070] For some possible implementations, see again Figure 2 During the milling process, the rock layer broken by the milling head will fall to the bottom of the tunnel face 700 to form a milling debris deposit 800. In order to avoid the influence of the milling debris deposit 800 on the identification of the concave-convex distortion position in the second image, in this embodiment, the second image data can be first input into a pre-trained content recognition model, and the first area formed by the milling debris deposit 800 in the second image data and the second area of ​​the tunnel face 700 not covered by the milling debris deposit 800 are determined by the content recognition model.

[0071] Then, for the second area, the projection colors of different projection positions on the structured light pattern are adjusted according to the positions of the concave-convex distortion of the structured light pattern in the second image data.

[0072] In some possible implementations, this embodiment also provides a training step for correcting the prediction model, which may specifically include the following steps.

[0073] Step S510: The first image acquisition device 200 disposed on the milling and excavation device 600 performs image acquisition in a direction of the sample tunnel away from the tunnel face 700 to obtain first sample image data of at least three target positioning markers 900 including the excavated area of ​​the target tunnel.

[0074] Step S520 , projecting a sample structured light pattern toward the tunnel face 700 by the projection device 300 disposed on the milling device 600 , and adjusting the slope distortion correction parameters of the sample structured light pattern to obtain first sample correction parameters.

[0075] Step S530: Use the plurality of first sample images and the corresponding first sample correction parameters to train the correction prediction model to be trained, so that the correction prediction model outputs corresponding distortion correction parameters according to the input image data.

[0076] Specifically, in step S510 and step S520, when the milling device 600 is in the working position, the first sample image data can be collected by the first image acquisition device 200. At the same time, the sample structured light pattern is projected by the projection device 300, and then the distortion correction parameters of the projection device 300 are manually adjusted so that there is no correction distortion in the projection of the sample structured light pattern on the tunnel face 700, and the currently used distortion correction parameters are used as the first sample correction parameters.

[0077] Next, in step S530, the correction prediction model to be trained is trained using a plurality of the first sample images and the corresponding first sample correction parameters. The correction prediction model can output a second sample correction parameter according to the input first sample image data, and then adjust the network parameters of the correction prediction model according to the first sample correction parameter and the second sample correction parameter to reduce the gap between the first sample correction parameter and the second sample correction parameter.

[0078] After the number of times of training using different samples reaches a preset threshold, or the difference between the first sample correction parameter and the second sample correction parameter is less than a set threshold, the trained correction prediction model is obtained.

[0083] In summary, the AI-based milling and excavation boundary control method and system provided in the present application obtains first image data by performing image acquisition in the direction of the target tunnel away from the face through a first image acquisition device arranged on the milling and excavation equipment, and determines the first distortion correction parameter according to at least three target positioning markers in the first image data through a pre-trained correction prediction model, and then projects the structured light pattern corrected by the first distortion correction parameter toward the face through a projection device 300 arranged on the milling and excavation equipment.
