Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this application relate to the field of geological monitoring, and in particular to methods, systems, equipment and media for early warning of dangerous rocks. Background Technology

[0002] Unstable rock formations are prone to collapse, and they are characterized by their concealment and suddenness. To prevent such collapses, early warning and prevention measures are needed, further improving the analysis and monitoring precision of rock mass change trends. This involves identifying rock mass deformation through subtle changes and accelerations. The identification, monitoring, and early warning of unstable rock formations primarily rely on establishing a three-dimensional monitoring and early warning system based on rock mass deformation, cracks, and dislocations.

[0003] However, traditional manual geological hazard investigation methods are inefficient in identifying and analyzing unstable rock masses. They struggle to determine the morphology and deformation patterns of unstable rock masses, especially on steep slopes and in areas inaccessible to investigators. Furthermore, in regions with numerous unstable rock masses in remote locations, it is difficult to establish fixed monitoring stations. For instance, it is challenging to deploy automated monitoring equipment for acoustic emission, microseismic activity, crack detection, and stress analysis on a single unstable rock mass measuring only a few cubic meters. Satellite remote sensing technology can only identify large-scale deformations and cannot accurately identify or analyze the trends of small unstable rock masses. Summary of the Invention

[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0056] It should be noted that although functional modules are divided in the device schematic diagram and a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than the module division in the device or the order in the flowchart. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or the aforementioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0057] The embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] The embodiments of this application provide a method for early warning of dangerous rocks.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 The method for early warning of dangerous rocks includes the following steps:

[0060] Step S100: Obtain geological point cloud data for the target area;

[0061] Step S200: Extract local features from geological point cloud data, aggregate local features to generate global features, and obtain dangerous rock features based on global features;

[0062] Step S300: Construct a three-dimensional model of the dangerous rock based on its characteristics;

[0063] Step S400: Based on the three-dimensional model of the dangerous rock, predict its stability and change trend to obtain early warning information for the dangerous rock.

[0064] Reference Figure 2 For step S100, acquiring geological point cloud data of the target area includes the following steps:

[0065] Step S110: Generate dense point cloud data based on multi-view images of the target area;

[0066] Step S120: Align, register and fuse the dense point cloud data to obtain preprocessed point cloud data;

[0067] Step S130: Based on the rock mass structure characteristics of historical dangerous rock data as the initial cluster centers, the preprocessed point cloud data is clustered to obtain the geological point cloud data of the target area.

[0068] For example, multi-view images of the target area are acquired, and dense point cloud data is generated based on these images. Radius filtering is used to denoise the dense point cloud, removing interference from vegetation, artificial structures, etc. An iterative nearest-point algorithm suitable for surface registration is then used to align, register, and fuse the multi-point point cloud data, through its objective function. To minimize the mean square error between corresponding points, statistical methods are used to remove mismatched point pairs. Weights are assigned to different point pairs to reduce the impact of noise. Low-resolution point clouds are first coarsely registered and then gradually refined. Geological environment data of the target area are obtained from multi-view images of large-scale complex terrain as preprocessed point cloud data.

[0069] The preprocessed multi-source point cloud data is pre-classified; based on existing historical dangerous rock data as a sample dataset, the sample dataset is clustered according to the rock mass structure characteristics of the disaster samples. The rock mass structure characteristics of the target area are obtained by clustering the rock mass structure features using the geometric skeleton, color information, and normal vectors of the dangerous rock point cloud data.

[0070] Rock mass structural features are used as initial cluster centers in clustering. The point cloud data of dangerous rock samples in the sample dataset are assigned to the nearest initial cluster center. The clusters corresponding to the initial cluster centers are obtained, the cluster centers are updated, and the final clustering results are obtained through iterative clustering. The geological point cloud data of the target area is obtained, and the dangerous rock point cloud dataset is generated.

[0071] This process acquires the rock mass structural features of the target area, using point cloud data with multiple attributes to describe complex geometric shapes and physical properties in three-dimensional space, providing a rich information foundation for subsequent processing and analysis. Millimeter-level precision point cloud data is obtained through lidar scanning. Preprocessing of the surface and surrounding topographic data of the unstable rock mass is performed, and an iterative nearest-point algorithm is used to progressively reduce the distance between the source and target point clouds. Local features of the point clouds are extracted to improve the robustness of registration, and neural networks are used to learn the intrinsic features of the point clouds to improve registration accuracy. The process then proceeds to register the rock mass structural features in the target area. Based on the location and characteristics of the unstable rocks, the preprocessed cloud data is pre-classified to screen for potential hazard locations within the target area.

[0072] Point clouds are characterized by their disorder, sparsity, and unstructured nature. The core objective of point cloud segmentation is to classify points in a 3D point cloud into different semantic categories or instances. The role of a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) in point cloud processing is feature extraction and local feature learning. The MLP maps the original point coordinates or low-dimensional features to a high-dimensional latent space through fully connected layers and nonlinear activation functions, capturing local geometric patterns. By using MLP layers with shared weights to process all points in the neighborhood independently, and combining pooling operations (such as max pooling), robust features of local regions are extracted. Point cloud segmentation techniques and MLPs are used to extract local features from the point cloud, and then max pooling is applied to aggregate the features of all points, generating a global feature vector that forms the "dangerous rock" feature.

[0073] Reference Figure 3 For step S200, extracting local features from the geological point cloud data includes the following steps:

[0074] Step S211: Perform point cloud segmentation on the geological point cloud data and classify each point in the geological point cloud data;

[0075] Step S212: Perform neighborhood sampling on each classified point to obtain local information, and aggregate the local information;

[0076] Step S213: Capture local geometric detail information based on local information;

[0077] Step S214: The low-level local features and high-level local features in the local geometric detail information are stitched together to obtain the local features of the geological point cloud data.

[0078] For example, the location of potential dangerous rocks in the target area is obtained, and the corresponding point cloud data is extracted. Point cloud segmentation is performed on the geological point cloud data, classifying each point in the geological point cloud data into different object types. The neighborhood of each point is sampled to form a local point set, obtaining local information. A shared-weighted Multi-Level Processing (MLP) is used to process each point and its neighborhood, and then the local information is aggregated. Multiple stacked MLP modules and pooling modules are used to capture local geometric details. Low-level local features are concatenated with high-level features to obtain local features, improving detail preservation. Graph optimization is used to refine the segmentation results.

[0079] Reference Figure 4 The process of aggregating local features to generate global features includes the following steps:

[0080] Step S221: Obtain the geometric features of the dangerous rock from local features;

[0081] Step S222: Calculate the dynamic time regularization distance of the time series corresponding to the geometric features of dangerous rocks with different fine-grained characteristics;

[0082] Step S223: Minimize the dynamic time warping distance to align the time series corresponding to the geometric features of the dangerous rock to obtain the time series features;

[0083] Step S224: Obtain spatial characteristics based on the geometric features of the unstable rock in the region;

[0084] Step S225: Generate global features from temporal and spatial features.

[0085] By analyzing curvature and normal vectors, steep surfaces and uneven regions (potential instability surfaces) of dangerous rocks are identified. Based on region growing and clustering (such as DBSCAN), the fracture point cloud is segmented to obtain the geometric features of the dangerous rocks. Parameters such as fracture length, width, dip angle, and connectivity are extracted to obtain the fracture parameters of the dangerous rocks as their geometric features.

[0086] The dynamic time warping algorithm is used to calculate the dynamic time warping distance of the time series corresponding to the geometric features of dangerous rocks with different fine granularities. The different time series deformation sequences are aligned by minimizing the dynamic time warping distance, and spatial features are obtained based on the geometric features of regional changes. A global feature vector is generated from the time series features and spatial features.

[0087] Characteristics of potential rockfall hazards are obtained based on temporal and spatial features.

[0088] Reference Figure 5 For step S300, constructing a three-dimensional model of the dangerous rock based on its characteristics includes the following steps:

[0089] Step S310: Based on the characteristics of the dangerous rock, a mesh model is obtained through Poisson reconstruction, surface reconstruction by spherical wave transform, voxelization, and voxel fusion.

[0090] Step S320: Generate the geometric shape and topological structure of the dangerous rock based on its characteristics;

[0091] Step S330: Combine the geometry and topology of the unstable rock with the mesh model to construct a three-dimensional model of the unstable rock.

[0092] For example, point cloud data from multiple perspectives are registered and stitched together to form an initial model. Surface reconstruction is performed using Poisson reconstruction and spherical wave transform, and the point cloud data is divided into a series of small cubes through voxelization. A mesh model is obtained by voxel fusion and refinement. Multiple point cloud data are aligned using ICP, and triangulation, surface fitting, or deep learning generation are performed using various algorithms (such as PointNet, NPGA, and 3DGaussian Splatting). By combining the geometric shape and topology of the unstable rock with the mesh model, a three-dimensional model of the unstable rock is constructed.

[0093] Reference Figure 6For step S400, the stability and change trend prediction of the dangerous rock are used to obtain the early warning information of the dangerous rock, which includes the following steps:

[0094] Step S410: Monitor the unstable rocks in the target area and obtain monitoring data;

[0095] Step S420: Input the monitoring data into the three-dimensional model of the dangerous rock and extract the spatiotemporal features of the dangerous rock at the current timestamp;

[0096] Step S430: Update the geological monitoring indicators for the next time stamp based on the dynamic changes in the characteristics of the dangerous rock. Obtain the spatiotemporal characteristics of the dangerous rock at the next time stamp based on the spatiotemporal characteristics of the dangerous rock at the current time stamp and the geological monitoring indicators for the next time stamp.

[0097] Step S440: Based on the spatiotemporal characteristics of the dangerous rock at the current time stamp and the spatiotemporal characteristics of the dangerous rock at the next time stamp, the stability and change trend are predicted to obtain dangerous rock warning information.

[0098] For example, dynamic monitoring of unstable rocks in a target area yields monitoring data. Dynamic monitoring methods can include UAV-borne LiDAR, 3D laser scanning, etc., employing periodic data acquisition and fixed acquisition parameters. The dynamic monitoring data undergoes noise reduction, filtering, and interpolation preprocessing, followed by index calculations such as displacement rate, acceleration, and crack propagation rate to obtain the final monitoring data.

[0099] The monitoring data is input into the 3D model of the unstable rock mass, and the spatiotemporal features of the unstable rock mass at the current timestamp are extracted. The spatial attributes corresponding to the unstable rock mass are extracted from the monitoring data, and the obtained time series of index features with spatial attributes are imported into a gated loop unit to obtain the spatiotemporal features of the unstable rock mass at the current timestamp.

[0100] The geological monitoring indicators for the next monitoring time stamp are updated based on the dynamic changes in the characteristics of the potential rock hazard. The spatiotemporal characteristics of the rock hazard at the next monitoring time stamp are obtained using a three-dimensional model of the rock hazard. Based on the spatiotemporal characteristics of the rock hazard locations at adjacent time stamps, the three-dimensional model is imported into mathematical analysis models, such as time series analysis and regression analysis, to predict the changing trend of the rock hazard. Through mechanical models such as the limit equilibrium method and deformation threshold, combined with geological environmental factors, stress distribution and instability conditions are simulated to conduct sensitivity analysis and rock hazard stability evaluation.

[0101] It should be noted that using lidar to generate high-precision 3D point clouds is suitable for large-scale or complex surface objects; using laser rangefinders for single-point or multi-point ranging is suitable for small targets or low-cost scenarios. Each data acquisition is marked with a timestamp and a spatial coordinate system (such as WGS84 or a local coordinate system) to ensure data alignment and synchronization. For environmental control, fixed reference points are set near the object to assist in data alignment and error correction.

[0102] It should be noted that point-by-point coordinate difference calculations are performed on the registered point cloud to generate a displacement vector field. Simultaneously, the centroid, volume, or surface curvature changes of the point cloud are calculated using a 3D model to achieve stability evaluation through quantitative difference analysis of unstable rocks. By increasing the acquisition frequency or using a phase-detection lidar (such as FMCW LiDAR) to improve ranging resolution, small displacement detection is enhanced. A displacement threshold (e.g., 5 mm) is set; values ​​exceeding the threshold are considered object movement.

[0103] For the rate of change of the unstable rock mass, a critical displacement rate (e.g., 10 mm / day) is set according to the standard displacement rate threshold method. Acceleration analysis is used to determine the accelerated deformation stage using the second derivative of displacement. The displacement trend of the unstable rock mass is predicted using the statistical model grey system theory (GM(1,1)). Historical data is trained using the machine learning model LSTM neural network and random forest regression to predict the future deformation of the unstable rock mass. Simultaneously, a rainfall infiltration model (e.g., GreenAmpt) and seismic response analysis are introduced to simulate the impact of external factors on stability.

[0104] After predicting the stability and trend of a dangerous rock mass based on a three-dimensional model and obtaining early warning information, the method includes response steps. (Refer to...) Figure 7 The response steps include the following:

[0105] Step S510: Perform sensitivity analysis based on the rockfall warning information to determine the hazard level and corresponding response facilities;

[0106] Step S520: Combine the rockfall early warning information with geographic information to generate a risk zoning map;

[0107] Step S530: Import the monitoring data, rockfall early warning information, and risk zoning map into the geographic information system to obtain the displacement vector field of the rockfall, crack propagation information, rockfall collapse movement path, and threat area.

[0108] For example, based on the stability assessment and changing trends of unstable rock masses, sensitivity analysis or probability assessment is conducted to determine the hazard level and plan emergency response plans and evacuation routes. Based on geological disaster prevention, the early warning system sets yellow, orange, and red warning levels and corresponding response measures. Using a geographic information system (GIS) platform, 3D models, and dynamic charts, monitoring data is combined with geographic information to generate heat maps or risk zoning maps. Based on indicators such as deformation, acceleration, and crack density, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used to classify the hazard level of the target unstable rock mass, such as high, medium, and low hazard levels. Monitoring data, model prediction results, and risk zoning maps are imported into the GIS platform to construct a 3D model of the unstable rock mass. Topographic data is overlaid on the GIS platform to display the displacement vector field and crack propagation animation in real time, simulating the rockfall path, calculating the threat area, displaying the risk level distribution on a heat map, and overlaying population density and infrastructure layers to construct a 3D visualization platform. Based on the threat range of the unstable rock mass, different levels of early warning are generated according to the disaster range. Regional evacuation decisions are made based on the connection of relevant knowledge graphs to the early warning information. The visualization interface supports real-time querying of monitoring data, early warning information, and the emergency response plan database.

[0109] The methods for early warning of dangerous rocks include data acquisition, identification of potential dangerous rocks, dynamic monitoring, early warning models, and early warning processing.

[0110] By acquiring multi-source point cloud data of the target area, including key attributes such as spatial coordinates, color information, and normal vectors, the iterative nearest point algorithm and FINet algorithm are used to address issues such as data noise and local optima in point cloud registration. Data fusion analysis and feature extraction are performed on the preprocessed multi-source point cloud data to identify and screen the locations of potential rockfall hazards within the target area. Based on the point cloud data of potential rockfall hazard locations, a 3D model of the rockfall is established to obtain the existing deformation and crack characteristics, and potential slip surfaces and separation bodies are analyzed based on block theory. According to the characteristics of the potential rockfall hazard, multi-dimensional monitoring is conducted regularly to obtain multi-dimensional, multi-period point cloud difference detection data on crack expansion or displacement changes. Based on the multi-dimensional monitoring data, hierarchical feature fusion and feature extraction are performed to construct a rockfall early warning model, dynamically judging the change trend of the rock mass, and conducting hazard analysis and avoidance decisions based on the change trend. The rockfall hazard analysis and avoidance decisions are visualized, and interactive information of hazard analysis and avoidance decisions is obtained. The rockfall hazard early warning model is dynamically corrected based on the interactive information.

[0111] By dynamically expressing the personalized characteristics of potential rockfall hazards, the system can meet the uncertainty analysis of rockfall disaster timing, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of rockfall disaster early warning and providing a data foundation for geological disaster prevention and mitigation.
