[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, the instrument and image data analysis module includes: Perform data cleaning and data conversion operations on the raw data collected by the displacement meter; set the dam design coordinate system CGC200 as the global standard, and arrange at least 4 permanent surface marking points on the dam surface; Determine the relationship between each direction of each displacement meter monitoring point and the coordinate axes, decompose the total displacement vector into each coordinate axis direction according to the vector decomposition principle, and calculate the magnitude and direction of the displacement components of each monitoring point in different directions according to the decomposition principle and the determined coordinate system; create a data record table for each monitoring point, and record the displacement values in the x, y, and z directions and the corresponding timestamps respectively; Perform geometric correction and radiometric correction on the images taken by the UAV, use image recognition algorithms to automatically identify the pre-set surface marking points in the corrected images, and use feature extraction algorithms to extract the central coordinates, gray-scale features, and texture features of the surface marking points as the image feature vectors of the surface marking points; according to the feature vectors of the surface marking points in the images of different time series, use the SIFT-based matching algorithm to determine the position changes of the surface marking points in the images taken before and after, and calculate the displacement data of the dam surface.

[0025] Specifically, set the dam design coordinate system CGC200 as the global standard coordinate system, obtain the position information of each displacement gauge monitoring point, including the specific position and spatial orientation on the dam surface, and determine the relationship between each direction and the coordinate axes at each monitoring point according to the structure of the dam and the layout of the monitoring points. For example, for a horizontally arranged displacement gauge, its measurement direction may be parallel to the x-axis or y-axis of the coordinate axes; for a vertically arranged displacement gauge, the measurement direction is consistent with the z-axis direction. According to the vector decomposition principle, decompose the total displacement vector into each coordinate axis direction. According to the determined coordinate relationship and decomposition principle, calculate the magnitude of the displacement components of each monitoring point in different directions. For example, if the angle between the total displacement vector and the x-axis is θ and the displacement magnitude is D, the displacement component in the x-direction is D×cosθ. Create a data record table for each monitoring point, and the table content includes the time stamp, the displacement value in the x-direction, the displacement value in the y-direction, and the displacement value in the z-direction. In the corrected image, first perform image preprocessing operations to improve the accuracy of image recognition. Use image recognition algorithms to automatically identify the pre-set surface identification points: the standard template image of the surface identification points can be pre-stored, and then template matching is performed in the images taken by the drone to find the most similar area as the position of the surface identification points. Use feature extraction algorithms to extract the center coordinates, gray-scale features, and texture features of the surface identification points as the image feature vectors of the surface identification points. The SIFT algorithm finds the corresponding surface identification points in different images by comparing the similarity of the feature vectors and calculates the position offset between them, converts the position offset into the actual displacement value, and determines the direction of the displacement.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present invention, the construction of the displacement constraint matrix, which is applied to the finite element model as a displacement constraint condition, includes the following steps: For the sampling time of the drone , extract the displacement gauge data within the time window from the displacement gauge. Let the extracted displacement gauge data be three-dimensional coordinate points , where n is the number of data points, and the time point corresponding to the data is ; Assume that the time point when the infrared camera obtains the surface identification point data is , and use linear interpolation to obtain the precise alignment displacement gauge coordinates at the time point ; ; For each surface identification point Psur(X, Y), assume that its corresponding actual three-dimensional coordinates are (x sur , y sur , z sur ).

[0027] Specifically, for each pair of mapped points ; calculate the direction vector from the displacement gauge measurement point to the surface identification point and the cosine value of the included angle between the direction vectors of all pairs of mapped points and the z-axis direction vector, compare the cosine value of the included angle with a preset threshold. If the cosine value of the included angle is greater than the preset threshold, the trend of this pair of mapped points is consistent with the reference direction and passes the test; otherwise, it fails the test; wherein, the preset threshold is set to μ - 2σ, and μ is the mean value of the cosine values of the included angles measured multiple times, which can exclude the deviation caused by measurement errors to a certain extent; for the pairs of mapped points that pass the trend consistency test, calculate their internal distance and surface distance, determine the weights corresponding to the internal distance and surface distance according to the accuracy of the instrument and the infrared camera carried by the drone, add the weighted values to obtain the comprehensive displacement, form a displacement constraint vector with the comprehensive displacements of all pairs of mapped points that pass the trend consistency test, according to the node degrees of freedom of the finite element model and the corresponding relationship between the mapped points and the nodes, and construct a displacement constraint matrix. Each row of the matrix corresponds to a pair of mapped points, and each column corresponds to the degree of freedom of a node. If there is a corresponding relationship between the mapped point and the node, the element at this position is 1, otherwise it is 0; apply it as a displacement constraint condition to the finite element model; The internal distance, that is, the distance from the displacement gauge measurement point to the surface identification point Psur in the actual three-dimensional space, is obtained through: ; to obtain as the internal distance of this point, and are the three-dimensional coordinates of Psur and respectively; The surface distance, that is, the two-dimensional image distance from the projection point of the displacement gauge measurement point on the image plane to the surface identification point; Determine the weights corresponding to the internal distance and the surface distance according to the accuracies of the instrument and the infrared camera mounted on the drone, that is, unify the units of the displacement gauge accuracy and the camera positioning accuracy and then add them to obtain the comprehensive accuracy, divide the displacement gauge accuracy and the camera positioning accuracy by the comprehensive accuracy respectively to obtain the corresponding accuracy ratio values, which are used as their corresponding weights.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the analysis based on the stress distribution output by the finite element model includes the following steps: Use professional finite element analysis software to solve the constructed finite element model, calculate the stress values of each node, dynamically adjust its allowable stress threshold according to the mechanical property parameters of the dam material, compare the calculated stress value of each node with its allowable stress threshold, and judge whether there is a stress overrun phenomenon at the node according to the stress ratio value; Stress ratio value calculation formula: ; wherein, is the stress ratio value of the -th node, is the stress value of the -th node, is the allowable gradient threshold corresponding to the -th node; If , it indicates that there is a phenomenon of excessive stress at this node, otherwise, it indicates that there is no phenomenon of excessive stress at this node; Use a graphical tool to draw the stress distribution map of the dam structure, visually display the stress conditions of each area, calculate the stress ratio value of each node, and mark it on the distribution map.

[0030] Specifically, look up the mechanical property parameters of different materials, such as concrete, earth-rock, etc., including elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, compressive strength, tensile strength, etc. in the dam design data or relevant specifications. These parameters are the basis for determining the allowable stress threshold. Considering the actual working conditions of the dam, such as water level change, temperature change, seismic action, etc., determine the corresponding adjustment coefficients for different working conditions and different parts of the dam. For example, when the water level is high, due to the buoyancy and pressure of water, for the dam materials in the underwater part, the allowable stress threshold may need to be appropriately reduced. Through the secondary development function of the software, according to the above-obtained material mechanical property parameters and adjustment coefficients, calculate the allowable stress threshold of each node under different working conditions; use data processing software to divide the extracted node stress value by the corresponding allowable stress threshold to obtain the stress ratio value of each node, and judge whether there is a phenomenon of excessive stress at each node. In the post-processing module of the finite element analysis software, select "Plot Results" or a similar function, select an appropriate plotting method to draw the stress distribution map of the dam structure, and use the annotation function or graphic editing tool of the software to mark the stress ratio value of each node on the stress distribution map.

[0031] An example table for determining excessive dam stress is shown in Table 1: Table 1.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the analysis of the strain distribution includes the following steps: Extract the strain values of each node from the finite element model, determine the maximum allowable strain value according to the mechanical property parameters of the dam material, compare the strain value of each node with the maximum allowable strain value of the material, and judge whether there is a phenomenon of excessive strain at the node; Use a graphical tool to read the strain values output from the finite element model and draw the strain distribution map of the dam structure. Mark the strain values and positions of each area on the map, calculate the ratio of the strain value of each node to the maximum allowable strain value of the material, and mark the ratio value on the strain distribution map. Use the same calculation method as the stress ratio value to obtain the strain ratio value of the th node . If , it indicates that there is a strain overrun phenomenon at this node. Otherwise, it indicates that there is no strain overrun phenomenon at this node.

[0033] Specifically, open the finite element analysis software. After completing the model solution, enter the post-processing module of the software. Directly click on a single node on the model with the mouse, or use the node selection tool provided by the software to select nodes, and output the strain values of the selected nodes to a text file, a table file, or a specific data structure inside the software for subsequent operations; consult the mechanical property data of various materials used in the dam design and construction, calculate the maximum allowable strain values of each material under different working conditions according to the mechanical property parameters of the materials, and organize the calculated maximum allowable strain values in a way that aligns with the node table to form a format corresponding to the node strain value data; compare the extracted node strain value data with the sorted maximum allowable strain value data one by one, calculate the strain ratio value of each node, and determine whether there is a strain overrun phenomenon at the node according to the strain ratio value; in the graphical tool, draw the strain distribution map of the dam structure according to the imported node strain value data, and mark the strain ratio value and position information of each node on the strain distribution map.

[0034] The implementation example table for determining the dam strain overrun is shown in Table 2 as follows: Table 2.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, the abnormal marking construction module includes: Construct abnormal marking rules, including single-index overrun and double-index overrun; Set single-index overrun: If , there is a stress overrun phenomenon at the corresponding node, triggering a yellow warning. If , there is a strain overrun phenomenon at the corresponding node, triggering an orange warning; Set double-index overrun: If and , then there are two overrun phenomena at the corresponding node, triggering a red warning.

[0036] Specifically, defining the single-index overrun rule includes clarifying the evaluation criteria for stress and strain respectively. For stress, when the stress ratio value of a node is greater than 1, it is determined that the stress is overrunning; for strain, when the strain ratio value of a node is greater than 1, it is determined that the strain is overrunning; and determining the corresponding relationship between the warning color and the overrun type. When stress overrun occurs, a yellow warning is triggered; when strain overrun occurs, an orange warning is triggered. Defining the double-index overrun rule includes stipulating that when both the stress ratio value and the strain ratio value of the same node are greater than 1, it is determined that there are two overrun phenomena at this node, that is, double-index overrun, and determining that a red warning is triggered when double-index overrun occurs to highlight this more serious abnormal situation.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the present invention is a method for monitoring and processing dam stability data, including the following steps: S1: Install a variety of special instruments in the internal environment and external environment of the dam to obtain corresponding data; S2: Use a drone equipped with an infrared camera to conduct low-altitude shooting and measurement of the dam and its surrounding environment to obtain image data; S3: Perform preprocessing operations on the displacement meter data, set CGC200 as the global standard, lay out identification points and decompose the displacement vector record, identify the identification points after correcting the drone image, extract the feature vector, and use the SIFT algorithm to match and determine the displacement; S4: Extract and interpolate and align the displacement meter data within the time window, establish the projection relationship between the displacement meter measurement points and the surface identification points, construct a displacement constraint matrix, which is applied as a displacement constraint condition to the finite element model, determine the load and boundary conditions by obtaining relevant dam information, use professional software to construct the finite element model, and analyze the stress and strain results; S5: Calculate the corresponding ratio value based on the analysis results of stress and strain, and construct an abnormal marking rule according to the ratio value.
