Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of roadway roof safety monitoring, and particularly relates to a method for automatically identifying the water spraying and dripping volume on the roadway roof and remotely real-time monitoring. Background Art
[0002] The phenomenon of water spraying or dripping on the mine roof is one of the common water hazard problems in the mine production process, which seriously affects the safety and production efficiency of mine operations. If the phenomenon of water spraying or dripping on the roof is not discovered and handled in time, it may lead to roof collapse, equipment damage and personal safety accidents. Therefore, establishing an efficient and accurate roadway roof water hazard monitoring and early warning system is crucial for mine safety management.
[0003] The existing mine roof water hazard monitoring methods mainly include the drilling monitoring method and the hydrogeological observation method. The drilling monitoring method analyzes the aquifers and leakage conditions in the mine strata by arranging boreholes and combining water level measurement and flow observation; the hydrogeological observation method relies on systematically monitoring the distribution and flow characteristics of surface water and groundwater in the mining area to judge the possible areas and intensities of water hazards. These methods provide basic data support for the prevention of mine water hazards, but usually require complex equipment and a large amount of manual participation, and the monitoring process is time-consuming and it is difficult to achieve real-time and dynamic monitoring.
[0004] Although the drilling monitoring method has high accuracy, the borehole layout process is complex and costly, and it is difficult to arrange in a large area; the hydrogeological observation method relies on the long-term accumulation of hydrogeological data and cannot quickly reflect the dynamic changes of the water spraying or dripping phenomenon. These traditional methods lack intelligent analysis means and cannot predict the development trend of water hazards through multi-source data, and the early warning ability is limited. To solve these problems, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive solution based on multi-spectral vision technology, deep learning algorithms and remote real-time monitoring to achieve high-precision, dynamic and intelligent management of water hazard monitoring.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0032] Figure 1 is a flowchart of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0033] The following further describes the specific implementation manners of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments:
[0034] Combined with Figure 1 , an automatic recognition and remote real-time monitoring method for the water dripping volume on the roadway roof, the method includes the following steps:
[0035] Step 1: Use an infrared thermal imaging camera and a visible light camera to obtain infrared thermal imaging data and visible light image data of the roadway roof, and fuse the infrared thermal imaging data and visible light image data into multi-spectral image data.
[0036] The infrared thermal imaging data is used to record the temperature distribution of the roadway roof, and the visible light image is used to record the water dripping trajectory and the boundary of the water seepage area on the roadway roof surface. The collected infrared thermal imaging data and visible light image data are transmitted back to the edge computing device.
[0037] In the data collection stage, the resolution and temperature sensitivity of the infrared thermal imaging camera should meet the monitoring requirements in the complex mine environment, and the visible light camera should have the imaging ability under low light conditions to ensure that the image data of the water seepage area can be clearly recorded regardless of the light intensity in the roadway.
[0038] Align the time stamps of the infrared thermal imaging data and the visible light image data to generate unified time series data D(t), which is the multi-spectral image data;
[0039] D(t) = {D IR (t), D RGB (t)};
[0040] wherein, D IR (t) is the infrared thermal imaging data at time t, and D RGB (t) is the visible light image data at time t.
[0041] There may be interferences such as environmental noise and light reflection in the multi-spectral image data of the roadway roof. Therefore, it is necessary to preprocess the data to extract effective features.
[0042] Step 2: The edge computing device segments the water spraying or watering area through an image processing algorithm and calculates the water spraying area A ir 。
[0043] Specifically, it includes: Step 2.1: Denoise the multi-spectral image data, and use the Gaussian filtering algorithm to reduce the interference of random noise; optimize the boundary of the water spraying area through erosion and dilation processing to eliminate isolated noise points; convert the multi-spectral image data into a grayscale image.
[0044] Step 2.2: Segment the water spraying area, use the Mask R-CNN algorithm to segment the grayscale image to generate a binary image. The pixels in the water spraying area of the binary image are 1, and the pixels in other areas are 0.
[0045] Step 2.3: Statistically calculate the total area of the area with a pixel value of 1 to obtain the water spraying area A ir 。
[0046] The image segmentation algorithm adopts the Mask R-CNN model, and optimizes the training parameters in combination with the characteristics of the roadway environment to ensure the accuracy of the segmentation results. Through morphological operations, including erosion and dilation processing, further eliminate the noise interference in the image and optimize the boundary of the water spraying area.
[0047] Step 3: The edge computing device calculates the temperature difference ΔT between the water spraying area and the background area based on the infrared thermal imaging data.
[0048] Specifically, it includes:
[0049] Calculate the temperature difference ΔT between the water spraying area and the background area using the infrared thermal imaging data:
[0050]
[0051] where B is the boundary of the water spraying area, T(x, y) is the pixel temperature value, N water is the pixel temperature value of the water spraying area, N background is the pixel temperature value of the background area.
[0052] Step 4: The edge computing device extracts the dripping frequency and speed change to obtain the dynamic feature R of the dripping trajectory v 。
[0053] Analyze the water droplet trajectory in the continuous multi-spectral image data using the inter-frame difference method to extract the dripping frequency f drop and speed v drop, the dripping frequency f drop and the speed v drop are input into the 3D-CNN model to generate the dynamic feature R v :
[0054] R v = w f ·f drop + w v ·v drop ;
[0055] w f and w v are the weight coefficients of the dripping frequency and the speed respectively.
[0056] Step 5: The edge computing device transmits the watering area, temperature difference and dynamic feature data back to the cloud platform through the wireless network.
[0057] The cloud platform stores, analyzes and alarms the received data, and provides a dynamic visualization interface to display the location, intensity of the watering area and predict the change trend.
[0058] The cloud platform fuses and analyzes the watering area, temperature difference and dynamic feature data to generate the water disaster intensity index I s , and its calculation formula is: I s = w1·A ir + w2·ΔT + w3·R v ; where w1, w2, w3 are the weighting coefficients.
[0059] In the water disaster intensity assessment stage, the weight coefficients of the watering area, temperature difference and dynamic feature are calibrated through experiments according to different scenarios of the mine; for areas with a larger watering area, a higher weight is assigned; for areas with a smaller temperature difference but significant dripping dynamic features, the corresponding weights are dynamically adjusted to ensure the reliability of the assessment results.
[0060] The cloud platform triggers multi-level alarms according to the obtained water disaster intensity index I s .
[0061] Specifically: when I s < T1, a first-level alarm is issued; when T1 ≤ I s < T2, a second-level alarm is issued; when I s ≥ T2, a third-level alarm is issued.
[0062] The first-level alarm indicates low risk, and the staff conducts daily inspections. The second-level alarm indicates medium risk, and the staff needs to conduct on-site inspections. The third-level alarm indicates high risk, and an emergency response is initiated, and operations such as stopping work and draining water are required.
[0063] Step 6: The cloud platform uses the water disaster intensity index I s, to predict the future water disaster intensity.
[0064] Specifically, it includes: inputting historical water disaster intensity indicators into the LSTM model for training to form a water disaster intensity indicator prediction model, and inputting the water disaster intensity indicators at the past k time points into the water disaster intensity indicator prediction model to obtain the predicted value of the water disaster intensity indicator at the next time point.
[0065] The cloud monitoring platform provides a three-dimensional visualization interface to superimpose and display the real-time state and historical changes of the roadway roof, enhancing the intuitiveness of data interpretation.
[0066] Certainly, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions, or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the essence of the present invention should also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
