Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering construction, and relates to a visual intelligent detection method and system for the gradation of rockfill materials, and particularly relates to a visual intelligent detection method and system for the gradation of rockfill materials suitable for rapid detection of the particle gradation of large-scale rockfill materials in rockfill dams or similar projects. Background Art

[0002] Rockfill dams have been widely used in hydropower projects due to their strong adaptability and high economy. Among them, the gradation of the filler is a key control index determining the filling quality of the dam body. However, the existing gradation detection methods mainly rely on digging pits and sampling for screening after compaction. These methods are not only complex in operation and have large construction interference, but also have insufficient sample representativeness and belong to post-verification, making it difficult to meet the real-time control requirements before filling.

[0003] With the development of information technology, detection methods based on morphological perception provide a new technical path for the efficient analysis of the gradation of rockfill materials. These methods are mainly divided into two categories: point cloud scanning and visual perception. Point cloud scanning quantifies the particle morphology through three-dimensional laser or structured light technology, but its point cloud segmentation efficiency is low, which limits its popularization and application in large-scale projects. In contrast, two-dimensional visual perception technology extracts particle contours and calculates gradations using image segmentation, which has the advantages of high efficiency and convenience. Especially, image segmentation technology based on deep learning has made breakthroughs in terms of robustness and generalization, significantly enhancing the potential for large-scale application at the construction site. However, on the one hand, the existing image segmentation technology has insufficient segmentation performance for small particles, especially rockfill materials with a particle size less than 5 mm; on the other hand, for rockfill materials in a natural stacked state, there are inter-particle occlusions on the surface layer and inter-layer occlusions in the deep layer, resulting in the problem of missing visual information.

Description of the Drawings

[0087] Figure 1 is a flowchart of the visual intelligent detection method for the gradation of rockfill provided by the present invention. Detailed Embodiments

[0088] Next, in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments, the invention will be further described:

[0089] See Figure 1 , the present invention provides a visual intelligent detection method for the gradation of rockfill, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0090] S1. According to the transportation route of the rockfill materials at the construction site, select a suitable location to deploy the image and license plate information collection devices for rockfill materials, considering factors such as electricity and network. Fix the L-shaped vertical pole on the concrete foundation through embedded anchor bolts to ensure the stability of the vertical pole. Install the image acquisition camera, RFID reader, and network transmission unit.

[0091] Preferably, in step S1, it also includes: sticking an RFID tag on the vehicle transporting the rockfill materials, and this tag is bound with the license plate number information. Install it at a prominent and easily readable position on the vehicle head to ensure that the tag information can be smoothly read by the RFID reader during the vehicle's driving process.

[0092] S2. When the transportation vehicle drives into the gradation detection station, the RFID reader automatically reads the RFID tag information on the vehicle, and at the same time, the image acquisition device takes pictures and samples of the rockfill materials in the hopper according to the preset parameters and angles.

[0093] S3. Transmit the image data and RFID tag information collected in S2 to the gradation cloud analysis module in real time through the network transmission unit, and conduct rockfill material gradation detection based on the rockfill material images.

[0094] Preferably, the cloud gradation analysis system in S3 conducts gradation detection based on the images collected in step S2, including two stages:

[0095] The first stage: Use the image classification and recognition model to judge whether the P5 content (particles with a particle size less than 5 mm) of the rockfill materials exceeds the standard. If it is determined to exceed the standard, output that the gradation is unqualified; if not, enter the detection of the second stage.

[0096] Preferably, the image classification and recognition model for the P5 content of the rockfill materials adopts the YOLOv8-cls model, and the model training process includes:

[0097] Collect mixed gradation rockfill material images under various imaging conditions (such as lighting, weather, etc.), covering the cases where the P5 content is qualified and unqualified. Further, label the image samples in a binary classification manner, for example, mark "qualified" as 1 and "unqualified" as 0 to obtain the initial samples. Then, perform data augmentation on the initial samples to expand the sample set, and use operations such as translation, rotation, brightness transformation, and flipping to increase the diversity of the data. Finally, divide the expanded sample set into a training set and a validation set according to a ratio of 8:2, so as to use the trained image classification and recognition model for the P5 content of the rockfill materials to realize the discrimination of the qualification of the P5 content of the rockfill material images collected in S2.

[0098] The second stage, if the P5 content is not determined to exceed the standard in the first-stage detection, enter this stage, including the following analysis modules:

[0099] (1) Image segmentation and contour extraction of rockfill materials.

[0100] Preferably, the rockfill material image segmentation model adopts the YOLOv8-seg model, and the model training process includes: collecting mixed-graded rockfill material images under various imaging conditions (lighting, weather, etc.). Further, the contours of the rockfill materials in the images are labeled to obtain initial samples. Then, data augmentation is performed on the initial samples to expand the sample set, and operations such as translation, rotation, brightness transformation, and flipping are used to increase the diversity of the data. Finally, the expanded sample set is divided into a training set and a validation set according to a ratio of 8:2, so as to use the trained rockfill material image segmentation model to segment the rockfill material images collected in S2 to obtain the stone particle contours.

[0101] Preferably, the rockfill material contour extraction includes: in the stacked state, the mutual occlusion between surface particles results in incomplete stone particle contours obtained by segmentation. First, the convex hull algorithm is used to fit the incomplete contours to obtain the key points of the contours; since the overall shape of the particle contours is approximately elliptical, the least squares method is used to fit an equivalent ellipse based on the contour key points to maximize the retention of the original shape features of the particle contours. According to the shooting distance of the rockfill material image acquisition, the conversion relationship between the pixel size and the actual size of the image is determined, and then the sizes A * and B * .

[0102] (2) Three-dimensional estimation and visual gradation calculation.

[0103] Preferably, the three-dimensional sizes of the rockfill material particles are estimated based on the major and minor axis sizes of the equivalent ellipse obtained in (1), specifically including:

[0104] 1) The particles are approximated as ellipsoids, and the equivalent ellipse obtained in step (1) is the projection of the particle approximate ellipsoid on the plane. The ellipsoid equation is as follows:

[0105]

[0106] The projected ellipse equation of the ellipsoid on the plane can be obtained as:

[0107] a 11 X 2 +2a 12 XY+a 22 Y 2 +a 33 =0 (2)

[0108] Among them,

[0109]

[0110] Among them, θ and They are respectively the azimuth angle and the pitch angle between the projection plane and the main plane of the ellipsoid. For the relationship between the major and minor semi-axes A and B of the ellipse with the equation of (2) and the three semi-major axes a, b, and c of the ellipsoid, it can be expressed as:

[0111]

[0112] where I = a 11 + a 22 ,

[0113] 2) The three-dimensional size and angle of the particles have a total of five unknowns, namely a, b, c, θ, and . Given that there are only two parameters, A and B, the projection relationship equation is an indeterminate equation. Further, in order to solve the aforementioned indeterminate equation, the aspect ratio λ 1 of the particle shape characteristic index, the thickness-to-width ratio λ 2 , and the probability distributions of the stacking azimuth angle θ and the pitch angle are introduced:

[0114]

[0115] The Monte Carlo method is used to solve the feasible set of particle three-dimensional sizes, and the expectation of the solution set is taken as the representative solution. The conditions for the feasible solution are:

[0116]

[0117] where n is the particle number, and ε A and ε B are respectively the error thresholds of the major and minor semi-axes.

[0118] According to the feasible solution space, the three axis lengths a, b, and c are obtained, which are the estimated values of the particle three-dimensional sizes:

[0119]

[0120] where N is the number of feasible solutions.

[0121] Preferably, based on the estimated three-dimensional sizes of the rockfill particles, the visual gradation is calculated, specifically including:

[0122] The density of the rockfill is ρ, and the mass M and gradation GIR of each particle can be calculated * :

[0123]

[0124] where n represents the total number of rockfill particles within the particle size range, and N' represents the total number of rockfill particles in (1).

[0125] (3) Actual gradation inference. Based on the measured sieve gradation data, a mapping model between the visual gradation and the actual gradation of the surface layer rockfill is constructed using a support vector machine regression model.

[0126] Preferably, the process of constructing the mapping model includes: collecting rockfill samples of multiple trips, identifying the visual gradation of the samples vehicle by vehicle, and sampling the rockfill in the vehicle (2 - 3m 3 ), obtaining the actual gradation of the stone material through a screening test, and obtaining the model training sample set. Further, using the visual gradation as the input sample and the sieve gradation as the output sample, training the support vector machine regression model to realize the inference of the actual gradation based on the visual gradation obtained in (2).

[0127] Exemplarily, the training process of the support vector machine: using the visual gradation as the input and the sieve gradation as the output, dividing the samples into a training set and a test set according to the ratio of 0.85:0.15. In order to balance the differences in the order of magnitude of the mass percentages of different particle sizes, the data is normalized. The SVR algorithm uses a radial basis kernel function, and the penalty factor C and the parameter σ in the kernel function 2 are optimized using a particle swarm algorithm to obtain the optimal parameter combination of the two parameters, thus completing the model training. After training, the support vector regression model is considered as an existing tool. When the visual gradation is detected, it can be input into the support vector regression model to obtain the corresponding actual gradation. At the same time, the actual gradation obtained from the screening experiment is equivalent to the actual gradation of the rockfill: the actual gradation is unknown, and the gradation obtained through the screening experiment represents the actual gradation.

[0128] (4) Gradation curve determination: Comparing the gradation curve obtained in (3) with the envelope line of the design gradation curve. When the gradation detection result is within the range of the designed gradation envelope line, the rockfill of this vehicle is considered qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified.

[0129] S4. Associate the gradation detection result obtained in S3 with the license plate information collected in S2, and publish the result through the system push module.
