Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dam crack detection, and particularly relates to an early detection method suitable for judging micro-cracks in dams. Background Art
[0002] Micro-cracks are a common early manifestation of dam diseases. In its initial stage, the cracks are fine and develop slowly, making it difficult to be detected in time. However, if effective detection and treatment are not carried out in the early stage of micro-cracks, over time, the micro-cracks gradually expand and connect, thereby affecting key indicators such as the structural strength and anti-seepage performance of the dam. In severe cases, it may even lead to catastrophic accidents such as dam collapse.
[0003] Traditional dam micro-crack detection technologies mainly rely on manual inspections. Technicians regularly use simple tools to visually observe the dam surface with the naked eye, and rely on rich experience to identify relatively obvious cracks and measure and record basic parameters such as the length and width of the cracks. The advantage of this method is high flexibility, which can adjust the observation focus according to the actual situation at any time, and does not require complex equipment, with low costs. However, the disadvantages are also very obvious: on the one hand, the efficiency of manual inspections is low. Facing the huge surface area of large dams, a comprehensive inspection requires a large amount of time and manpower; on the other hand, the accuracy of manual detection is greatly affected by subjective factors. There are differences in the experience and judgment criteria of different technicians, and it is easy to miss small cracks. In addition, manual inspections can only detect surface cracks of the dam and are powerless for internal micro-cracks, making it difficult to meet the comprehensive and accurate requirements of dam safety monitoring.
[0004] With the development of technology, existing dam micro-crack detection technologies have overcome some of the drawbacks of traditional methods to a certain extent. Among them, ultrasonic detection technology is widely used. It uses the differences in the propagation speed and reflection characteristics of ultrasonic waves in different media to emit ultrasonic waves into the dam, and judges whether there are micro-cracks and the location and approximate size of the cracks by analyzing the reflected waves. In addition, infrared thermal imaging technology has also been gradually popularized. This technology captures the temperature distribution differences on the dam surface and identifies abnormal heat transfer areas caused by the existence of micro-cracks, thereby locating the micro-cracks. The advantages of these existing technologies are that they can achieve non-contact detection, can quickly scan large areas, improve the detection efficiency, and can detect internal micro-cracks in dams to a certain extent. However, they also have limitations: the positioning accuracy of ultrasonic detection for micro-cracks is limited. For dams with complex structures, the signals are easily interfered, resulting in misjudgments; infrared thermal imaging technology is greatly affected by factors such as environmental temperature and humidity. In an environment with drastic temperature changes or high humidity, the accuracy of the detection results will be greatly reduced. At the same time, most existing technologies can only provide static information about micro-cracks and are difficult to monitor the development trend of micro-cracks in real time.
[0005] Therefore, whether it is traditional technology or existing technology, it is difficult to fully meet the requirements of early and accurate detection of micro-cracks in dams. Summary of the Invention

The convolutional layer of the multi-layer convolutional neural network model slides and convolves on the data image through a convolutional kernel to extract the local features of the micro-cracks in the target data set and form a micro-crack feature map; the pooling layer downsamples the convolved micro-crack feature map to reduce the data volume and retain the crack features; the fully connected layer classifies and judges the crack features after multiple convolutions and poolings, identifies the features of the micro-cracks in the target data, and outputs the judgment result of the dam micro-cracks.
[0021] Preferably, the micro-crack data set is obtained through the micro-crack detection result in S4, specifically:

Its calculation process fully considers factors such as the correction coefficient and the dynamic strain influence factor to ensure the accuracy of the strain data; the laser speckle interferometry technology can obtain the minute displacement information on the dam surface and accurately calculate the minute displacement from the interference fringe changes through an accurate phase-displacement conversion algorithm. After these data are subjected to spatio-temporal correlation analysis and fusion, they are input into a multi-layer convolutional neural network model for detection, effectively extracting the local features of the microcracks and performing classification and judgment, making the detection result of the microcracks more accurate, being able to accurately identify the existence of minute cracks, reducing misjudgment and missed judgment situations, and providing a reliable basis for the safety assessment of the dam.
[0029] In the feature extraction stage of the microcrack dataset of the present invention, starting from dynamic features such as the strain change rate and displacement change trend, combined with local feature scale transformation, the key information of microcrack development is obtained. The pre-constructed recurrent neural network model can fully learn this information, calculate the probability distribution of microcracks at different development stages through hidden states and stage factors, and can judge whether the microcracks are in the early development stage based on the probability distribution, and continuously monitor their development trend. It can detect microcracks in the initial stage in time, and update the model input by continuously collecting data, so as to grasp the development dynamics of microcracks in real time, provide sufficient time for dam maintenance, and take targeted measures to prevent microcracks from developing into serious diseases.

[0043] Embodiment 1
[0044] This embodiment mainly describes an early detection method suitable for judging microcracks in dams, such as Figure 1 shown, including the following steps:

[0049] S5. Extract the features of the microcrack data set, obtain the crack feature data, input it into a pre-constructed microcrack time model, and judge the development stage of the microcracks according to the output result of the microcrack time model.
[0050] Furthermore, after obtaining the reflected light wavelength data of the fiber optic sensor in S1, convert the wavelength change amount into the strain data of the dam through the wavelength-strain conversion algorithm, specifically:
[0051] Obtain the initial reflected light center wavelength , the reflected light center wavelength collected in real time , calculate the wavelength change amount , the formula is: , through the wavelength change amount , use the wavelength-strain conversion algorithm to convert the wavelength change amount into the strain data of the dam, the formula is: , where is the correction coefficient, is the dynamic strain influence factor, is the change rate of the wavelength change amount with time, calculate the strain values at the corresponding positions of each sensor, sort them according to the spatial distribution order of the sensors, and form a first data set.
[0052] Further, in S2, the laser speckle interference technology uses a high-resolution laser speckle interferometer to periodically scan the surface of the dam. Through laser irradiation, a speckle field is formed on the surface of the dam. When there is a small displacement on the surface of the dam, the speckle field will generate changes in interference fringes. Record the speckle interference images at different times, perform grayscale processing on the speckle interference images, calculate the phase change of the interference fringes through the phase-displacement conversion algorithm, obtain the small displacement information on the surface of the dam, and form the second data.
[0053] Further, calculate the phase change of the interference fringes through the phase-displacement conversion algorithm to obtain the small displacement information on the surface of the dam. Specifically:
[0054] Obtain the adjacent-time speckle interference images after grayscale processing and calculate the phase difference , the formula is: , where and are the pixel coordinates of the adjacent-time speckle interference images, is the spatio-temporal modulation coefficient.

Calculate the small displacement amount of the surface of the dam corresponding to each pixel point, and integrate the displacement amounts of all pixel points to form the second data set.
[0055] Further, in S1, perform spatio-temporal correlation analysis on the first data set and the second data set. By establishing a strain-displacement detection model, fuse the first data set and the second data set according to the degree of differential correlation to form a target detection data set; perform spatio-temporal correlation analysis on the strain data in the first data set and the small surface displacement data in the second data set. According to the structural mechanics principle of the dam, establish a strain-displacement detection model, adopt a data fusion algorithm, and fuse the first data set and the second data set according to the degree of differential correlation to construct a target data set containing comprehensive information on strain and displacement.
[0056] Further, in S3, when performing spatio-temporal correlation analysis on the first data set and the second data set, establish a strain-displacement detection model to achieve data fusion. Specifically:

After sorting out the fusion values at all positions and times, a target detection data set is formed.
[0058] Furthermore, the pre-constructed micro-crack detection model in S4 is a multi-layer convolutional neural network model, which includes multiple convolutional layers, pooling layers and fully connected layers; the target data set is processed into an image and converted into a data image and input into the multi-layer convolutional neural network model. The convolutional layer of the multi-layer convolutional neural network model slides and convolves on the data image through a convolutional kernel to extract the local features of micro-cracks in the target data set and form a micro-crack feature map; the pooling layer downsamples the convolved micro-crack feature map to reduce the data volume and retain the crack features; the fully connected layer classifies and judges the crack features after multiple convolutions and poolings to identify the features of micro-cracks in the target data and output the judgment result of the dam micro-cracks.
[0059] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown, the micro-crack data set is obtained through the micro-crack detection result in S4, specifically:
[0060] S4.1. Mark the regional division of the micro-crack detection result, divide the dam into multiple detection unit regions by levels, and for the detection unit regions, output the confidence scores of micro-cracks;
[0061] S4.2. Cluster adjacent regions with high confidence scores into one category, representing a micro-crack cluster. Compare the output results of the multi-layer convolutional neural network model of the micro-crack cluster in different detection cycles. If similar micro-crack feature change trends appear in multiple consecutive detection cycles, it is determined as a micro-crack region;
[0062] S4.3. Obtain the geographical coordinate information, micro-crack features and feature change trend information of the determined micro-crack region to form a micro-crack data set.
[0063] In S4.1, calculate the confidence score of micro-cracks in the detection unit region by obtaining the feature difference degree Calculation of the output feature vector of the fully connected layer of the multi-layer convolutional neural network model , the formula is: , where is the mean value of the strain-displacement fusion feature vectors of all detection unit regions, is the mean value of the output layer feature vectors, is the cosine similarity, and the confidence score of the microcracks in each detection unit region is calculated.
[0064] Furthermore, in S5, the features of the microcrack data set are extracted and input into the pre-constructed microcrack time model to determine the microcrack period; the feature extraction is to extract the dynamic features of the strain change rate and displacement change trend of the microcracks from the microcrack data set to form a composite feature set, perform local feature scale transformation on the composite feature set, and input it into the pre-constructed microcrack time model to output the development stage of the microcracks.
[0065] Furthermore, the pre-constructed microcrack time model is a recurrent neural network model, and the recurrent neural network model outputs the probability distribution of the microcracks at different development stages according to the hidden state and the stage factor The formula is: , where, is the weight matrix from the hidden state to the output layer, is the weight matrix from the stage factor to the output layer, is the bias vector of the output layer; the stage factor The formula is: , where is the stage weight coefficient, is the change amount of the features of adjacent time steps; , where, is the weight matrix from the hidden state to the hidden state, is the weight matrix from the input to the hidden state, is the bias vector of the hidden layer; by obtaining the probability distribution at different development stages, the microcrack stage of the dam is determined.
[0066] This embodiment details an early detection method applicable to the judgment of dam microcracks, realizing high-precision, real-time, and dynamic monitoring of dam microcracks. By laying a fiber optic sensor network and using laser speckle interferometry technology to obtain multi-source data, and applying spatio-temporal correlation analysis and advanced model algorithms for data fusion and analysis, accurately judge the existence and development stage of microcracks, make up for the deficiencies of the existing technology, and provide strong support for the safety maintenance of dams.
[0067] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment details the early detection experiment of the dam microcrack judgment of this application, specifically:
[0068] In this experiment, by comparing the effects of the technical solution of this application and the prior art in detecting microcracks in dams, the advantages of the technology of this application are verified. A medium-sized concrete dam that has been in service for many years is selected as the experimental object, and there are potential microcrack hazards to varying degrees in this dam; as Figure 3 shown, monitoring points are set at positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the dam, covering key parts of the dam foundation, the middle of the dam body, and the dam crest, to simulate the complex stress conditions in the actual operating environment; during the experiment, environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and water level around the dam are recorded to analyze the influence of environmental factors on microcrack detection.
[0069] An optical fiber sensor network is laid at the dam monitoring points to collect the reflected light wavelength data in real time. Taking monitoring point 3 as an example, the initial center wavelength of the reflected light is 1549.987 nm, and the center wavelength data of the reflected light collected at different times are shown in Table 1;
[0070] Table 1 Center wavelength data of the reflected light at monitoring point 3 at the acquisition time

[0072] The surface of the dam is periodically scanned using a high-resolution laser speckle interferometer to obtain speckle interference images. The speckle interference images at adjacent times after grayscale processing are processed to calculate the phase difference and micro-displacement information; taking monitoring point 3 as an example, the relevant data at the pixel coordinates of the speckle interference images at adjacent times are shown in Table 2;
[0073] Table 2 Speckle interference image data at adjacent times of monitoring point 3

[0075] The strain data collected by the optical fiber sensor and the displacement data obtained by the laser speckle interference technology are subjected to spatio-temporal correlation analysis to form a target detection data set; after the target detection data set is subjected to image processing, it is input into a multi-layer convolutional neural network model. The model is trained to extract features and classify and judge the input data; as Figure 4 shown, taking the areas of different monitoring points 3 as an example, divided into A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5, the microcrack confidence scores output by the model are shown in Table 3;
[0076] Table 3 Microcrack confidence of monitoring point 3
[0077] Monitoring area number Microcrack confidence score A1 0.923 A2 0.866 A3 0.529 A4 0.156 A5 0.228
[0078] According to the microcrack confidence score, the detection results are marked for regional division. Adjacent regions with a confidence score higher than 0.85 are grouped into one category, determined as the microcrack region, and a microcrack dataset is constructed. The strain change rate and displacement change trend dynamic features are extracted from the microcrack dataset and input into the pre-constructed recurrent neural network model to judge the development stage of the microcrack. Taking a certain microcrack region A1 as an example, during 5 consecutive days of monitoring, the dynamic feature data and predicted development stage of region A1 are shown in Table 4.

[0081] Existing technology experimental process (taking ultrasonic detection technology as an example)
[0082] Use an ultrasonic detector to emit ultrasonic waves into the dam interior, and judge the presence and location of microcracks by analyzing the reflected waves. Detect in the same monitoring area and record the detection results. Due to the large influence of the complexity of the dam interior structure and interference factors on ultrasonic detection technology, misjudgments and missed judgments occur in some areas. At monitoring point 3, in monitoring area A2, there are actually microcracks, but they are not detected by ultrasonic detection; in monitoring area A4, ultrasonic detection misjudges the existence of microcracks, while actually it is only a local structural anomaly.
