Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of airport pavement detection, and particularly to a rapid detection device and method for microcracks in rigid airport runway pavements. Background Art
[0002] As an important infrastructure for air transportation, the safety of the airport runway pavement is directly related to the safety of aircraft operation. Cracks often occur in the runway concrete pavement due to high-load operation. If the cracks are not detected and treated in time, it may lead to concrete spalling, forming foreign object debris (FOD) during aircraft operation, thus seriously threatening the safety of the aircraft.
[0003] Since the rigid runway slabs are usually composed of blocks, the further development of microcracks is mainly manifested as corner breaks, edge spalling, and ordinary cracks. The harmfulness of these three types of cracks decreases in turn, and corner breaks and edge spalling cause the most serious damage to the runway.
[0004] However, the existing detection technologies based on image recognition can usually only identify larger cracks, and have poor recognition ability for microcracks (1 mm to 1.5 mm), resulting in microcracks not being discovered and treated in time, and may gradually expand into more serious cracks without being noticed, bringing potential hazards to the runway.
[0005] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a microcrack detection and evaluation method based on three-dimensional structured light, which can efficiently and accurately detect microcracks in airport runways, especially in difficult-to-identify areas such as corners and edges, and predict the development trend of microcracks to make maintenance decisions in advance. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The present invention aims to provide a rapid detection system and method for microcracks in rigid airport runway pavements to solve the problems raised in the above background art.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0008] A rapid detection device for microcracks in rigid airport runway pavements, comprising:
[0009] A vehicle-mounted integrated device, responsible for carrying all detection devices and performing mobile acquisition on the runway; including a vehicle body, a power system, a control system, and a data storage system;
[0010] A dual three-dimensional structured light camera, used for synchronously collecting three-dimensional image data of the pavement, with a collection resolution of not less than 1 mm;
[0011] A high-precision GNSS+RTK positioning system, used for accurately positioning the image data;
[0012] A data processing unit for image preprocessing, crack identification and development trend determination;
[0013] A display and control system for real-time display of detection results and generation of maintenance decision reports based on crack prediction results.
[0014] Preferably, the vehicle-mounted integrated device can achieve rapid and full-range micro-crack detection of runway pavements without suspending airport operations.
[0015] Preferably, the minimum crack width resolution of the dual three-dimensional camera device is 1 mm, and the coverage width of each acquisition is not less than 5.2 m.
[0016] A method for a rapid micro-crack detection device for airport runway rigid pavements, characterized in that: the method steps include:
[0017] S1: Using a vehicle-mounted three-dimensional structured light device, through the collaborative work of dual devices, collecting three-dimensional image data of the airport runway pavement, with a detection resolution not lower than 1 mm;
[0018] S2: Preprocessing the collected image data, including denoising, light equalization, etc., to improve the image quality;
[0019] S3: Based on the preprocessed image data, using artificial intelligence algorithms to identify micro-cracks, judge the type, development trend and possible future form of the cracks, and predict whether the cracks will develop into corner breaks, slab edge spalls or ordinary cracks;
[0020] S4: According to the development trend of the cracks, provide decision support for runway maintenance and take treatment measures in advance to avoid further deterioration of the cracks.
[0021] Preferably, the detection resolution of micro-cracks in step S3 is 1 mm, and micro-cracks in the range of 1 mm to 1.5 mm can be effectively detected.
[0022] Preferably, the future development trend of micro-cracks in step S3 is predicted by analyzing characteristic parameters such as the shape, width, depth, and expansion rate of the cracks.
[0023] Preferably, the types of micro-cracks include corner breaks, slab edge spalls and ordinary cracks, and the harmfulness of the cracks to the runway is judged according to the type, and priority suggestions are provided for maintenance decision-making.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] (1) High-precision micro-crack detection:
[0026] By using an in-vehicle three-dimensional structured light device and combining it with a GNSS+RTK high-precision positioning system, the present invention can accurately collect pavement data during high-speed driving and effectively identify microcracks (1mm - 1.5mm) through three-dimensional depth information. Compared with traditional two-dimensional image recognition methods, the depth information of the three-dimensional structured light device can clearly distinguish between cracked and uncracked areas, enabling microcracks to be accurately identified and avoiding missed or misdetected situations in traditional methods.
[0027] (2) Real-time and high efficiency:
[0028] Using an in-vehicle device for data collection can not only quickly cover a large area of the runway but also ensure real-time data transmission and processing. Traditional manual detection and static scanning methods are relatively slow, while the solution of the present invention achieves high efficiency in runway detection through an in-vehicle system (speed can reach 50 - 60 km / h), enabling rapid full-area detection without affecting airport operations and greatly improving the detection efficiency.
[0029] (3) Prediction of the development trend of microcracks:
[0030] By combining the physical characteristics of cracks with external environmental factors (such as temperature, humidity, traffic volume, etc.) and using machine learning algorithms to predict the future development trend of cracks, the present invention can evaluate cracks at their tiny stage and predict whether cracks will develop into corner breaks, edge spalls, or ordinary cracks. Through this prediction, the maintenance work of airport runways can be planned in advance, avoiding the deterioration of cracks into serious diseases and enhancing the foresight and scientific nature of runway maintenance.
[0031] (4) Automated maintenance decision support:
[0032] The system can provide detailed priority suggestions for maintenance personnel and automatically dispatch maintenance tasks by automatically generating maintenance decision support and combining the development trend and harmfulness of microcracks. In this way, it not only reduces the error of manual judgment but also realizes the efficient management of maintenance tasks, improving the accuracy and timeliness of maintenance work.
[0033] (5) Long-term monitoring and data update:
[0034] The present invention can gradually optimize the machine learning model and improve the prediction accuracy through regular detection and real-time data update. As the amount of detection data increases, the prediction ability of the model will continuously enhance, thereby providing continuous technical support and decision-making basis for the long-term safe operation of airport runways.

[0114] II. Crack Identification and Development Trend Analysis
[0115] 1. Crack Identification Method
[0116] Crack identification is the core part of this system. The purpose is to accurately identify micro - cracks on the runway through the image data collected by three - dimensional structured light, and provide a basis for subsequent crack development trend analysis. Due to the complex structure and high - load operation environment of the airport runway, traditional image recognition methods may miss tiny cracks. Therefore, advanced three - dimensional image processing and artificial intelligence algorithms need to be introduced to improve the recognition accuracy.
[0117] 1.1 Image Pre - processing
[0118] Image pre - processing is the first step in crack identification, mainly including operations such as denoising, light equalization, and distortion correction. During the image acquisition process, it may be affected by factors such as vehicle vibration and light changes. Therefore, the collected images need to be processed to improve the accuracy of subsequent analysis.
[0119] Denoising Processing: Use a denoising algorithm based on convolutional neural network (CNN) to remove noise and interference in the image, especially the impact brought by vehicle - mounted platform vibration.
[0120] Light Equalization: By performing light equalization processing on the image, eliminate the impact caused by uneven environmental illumination and enhance the visibility of cracks.
[0121] Distortion Correction: Considering the camera perspective and optical distortion, use the camera calibration method for distortion correction to ensure the geometric accuracy of the image and avoid affecting the judgment of crack position and shape.
[0122] 1.2 Crack Feature Extraction
[0123] The feature extraction of cracks is the basis for differentiating crack types. Based on the data after image preprocessing, we extract the following crack features for further analysis:
[0124] (1) Crack length: The length of a crack can directly affect its harmfulness. Longer cracks usually imply a higher risk of propagation.
[0125] Quantification index: The minimum recognizable range of crack length is 1 mm, and the system can identify and record cracks exceeding 1 mm.
[0126] (2) Crack width: The width of a crack directly affects its impact on the runway structure. Larger cracks may lead to a decrease in the runway's bearing capacity.
[0127] Quantification index: The minimum width recognition accuracy is 1 mm, and for every increase of 0.5 mm in crack width, the potential risk of its propagation and impact increases.
[0128] (3) Crack depth: Through the depth data collected by three-dimensional structured light, the depth of the crack can be clearly judged. Cracks with a larger depth usually indicate more serious damage to the pavement and greater development potential.
[0129] Quantification index: The depth range of cracks can be from 1 mm to 10 mm, with an accuracy of 0.1 mm. Cracks with a depth exceeding 5 mm are usually marked as high-risk cracks.
[0130] (4) Crack curvature: The curvature of a crack affects its propagation direction. Cracks with a larger curvature usually extend along areas such as the slab edge and corner, which may lead to more serious damage (such as slab edge spalling and corner fracture).
[0131] Quantification index: The minimum measurable range of crack curvature is 0.1 mm / mm. The system can effectively distinguish between curved cracks and straight cracks. Cracks with a curvature greater than 0.5 mm / mm are considered to have a higher risk of propagation.
[0132] (5) Crack propagation direction: The crack propagation direction can help us determine whether a crack may develop into corner fracture, slab edge spalling, or an ordinary crack. Cracks extending along joints or slab edges may cause more serious diseases.
[0133] Quantification index: When the angle between the crack propagation direction and the joint or slab corner is greater than 30°, it is determined that it may develop into slab edge spalling or corner fracture.
[0134] 2. Analysis of the Development Trend of Microcracks
[0135] The analysis of the development trend of microcracks is to predict the future expansion of cracks. By comprehensively analyzing the historical data of cracks and the real-time collected image data, it can effectively determine whether cracks will develop into corner fractures, edge spalling, or ordinary cracks in the future.
[0136] 2.1 Input Features for Development Trend Analysis
[0137] The input features for development trend analysis include the physical features of cracks (such as length, width, depth, curvature, and propagation direction) and external environmental factors (such as temperature, humidity, traffic volume, etc.). All these features will be used as input data for training the machine learning model.
[0138] Physical features of cracks: Physical features such as length, width, depth, curvature, and propagation direction have been mentioned in the crack identification section, and they directly affect the future development potential of cracks.
[0139] External environmental factors:
[0140] Temperature: Drastic changes in temperature (especially the diurnal temperature difference) can cause the expansion and contraction of pavement materials, exacerbating the expansion of cracks. Especially under extreme weather conditions (such as low temperature or high temperature), the expansion rate of microcracks will accelerate.
[0141] Quantification index: When the temperature change amplitude is greater than 5℃ / hour, the crack expansion rate may accelerate, and key monitoring is required.
[0142] Humidity: The change in humidity also has a great impact on concrete pavements. Especially in an environment with high humidity, cracks may accelerate their expansion due to water penetration.
[0143] Quantification index: When the humidity change exceeds **30%**, the crack expansion risk increases, especially when the humidity and temperature fluctuate greatly.
[0144] Traffic volume: The traffic volume of the runway, the takeoff and landing frequency, and the weight of the aircraft will impose additional loads on the pavement. Especially under high-load conditions, microcracks are more likely to expand into more serious cracks.
[0145] Quantification index: When the traffic volume exceeds 500 flight operations per day, the crack expansion risk is relatively high.
[0146] 2.2 Machine Learning Model
[0147] By collecting a large amount of historical data and combining the physical features of cracks with external environmental factors, a machine learning prediction model is constructed. We have selected a deep learning model that combines the **Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)** suitable for crack development prediction. This model can handle multi-dimensional inputs of historical data and image features and accurately predict the crack expansion trend.
[0148] Sample data collection: Historical detection data, temperature and humidity data, traffic volume data, etc. are collected and labeled with the type of crack development (such as corner break, edge spalling, or ordinary crack).
[0149] Training and optimization: By training this data, the machine learning model can learn the expansion patterns of cracks and the impact of different feature combinations on the future development trend of cracks.
[0150] Prediction and output: The trained model can, based on real-time data, output the probabilities of cracks developing into corner breaks, edge spalling, or ordinary cracks in the future, and provide a basis for maintenance decisions.
[0151] 2.3 Quantitative indicators for crack development trends
[0152] Corner break: When a crack is located at the corner of a pavement slab, with a crack width exceeding 1.5 mm, a depth exceeding 5 mm, and an expansion direction close to between **45° and 90°**, it is judged as a high-risk crack for corner break.
[0153] Edge spalling: When a crack is located at the four edges (joints) of a pavement slab, with a crack width exceeding 2 mm, a depth exceeding 4 mm, and an expansion direction along the edge of the slab, it is judged as edge spalling.
[0154] Ordinary crack: When a crack has a small width (usually less than 1.5 mm) and an expansion direction extending into the interior of the slab, it is judged as an ordinary crack.
[0155] III. Maintenance decision support
[0156] The maintenance decision support module, based on the structural characteristics of the airport runway pavement consisting of multiple slabs, takes the slab as the smallest processing unit for maintenance decisions. By comprehensively evaluating factors such as the number of micro-cracks and development trends (such as whether it will evolve into a corner break, edge spalling, or ordinary crack) within each slab, it provides specific maintenance tasks, priorities, and repair suggestions for maintenance personnel. This decision support system can customize a reasonable repair plan for each slab according to the specific conditions of the slab, improving the maintenance efficiency and accuracy.
[0157] 1. Input data and decision basis
[0158] The input data for maintenance decisions comes from the following aspects:
[0159] Number and distribution of micro-cracks within the slab:
[0160] The number and size of cracks within each slab, especially the number of micro-cracks (1 mm to 1.5 mm), will serve as an important basis for maintenance decisions.
[0161] Crack development trend:
[0162] Whether the micro-cracks within each slab will evolve into corner fractures, edge spalling, and ordinary cracks, the prediction model will evaluate the hazard level of the slab based on the type and development trend of the cracks.
[0163] Crack severity assessment:
[0164] Characteristics such as the length, width, depth, and propagation rate of the cracks determine the harmfulness of the cracks. Severe cracks require a higher maintenance priority.
[0165] Crack propagation rate and historical data:
[0166] Combining the speed of crack propagation with historical detection data can provide an intuitive basis for maintenance decisions. Slabs with rapid crack propagation need to be repaired first.
[0167] 2. Comprehensive evaluation method
[0168] The present invention proposes a comprehensive evaluation method, which combines the number, type, expansion trend of cracks within the slab and external factors to comprehensively evaluate each slab and determine whether repair is needed and the repair priority.
[0169] The specific process is as follows:
[0170] 2.1 Crack evaluation and type identification
[0171] Crack type identification:
[0172] The system identifies the crack types on each slab through the physical characteristics and development trend prediction model of the cracks, including:
[0173] Corner fracture (high-risk crack)
[0174] Edge spalling (medium-high-risk crack)
[0175] Ordinary crack (low-risk crack)
[0176] For each crack type, the system assigns a weight value:
[0177] Corner fracture: weight 5
[0178] Edge spalling: weight 4
[0179] Ordinary crack: weight 2
[0180] Crack quantity and area assessment:
[0181] Count the number and distribution area of cracks within each slab. Slabs with a larger number and area of cracks have a higher risk and a higher priority.
[0182] Quantitative indicators: For slabs with more than 5 cracks or an area exceeding 20%, they are considered to require key attention.
[0183] 2.2 Crack development trend assessment
[0184] Expansion rate assessment:
[0185] The system calculates the expansion rate of cracks in each slab, especially the expansion rate of micro-cracks (1mm to 1.5mm). Cracks with a faster expansion rate will have their potential hazards evaluated in advance and be assigned a higher maintenance priority.
[0186] Quantitative indicators: If the crack width increases by more than 1mm / half year, the system classifies it as "rapid expansion" and gives it priority treatment.
[0187] Predicting crack evolution:
[0188] Based on the characteristics of crack morphology, expansion direction, depth, etc., combined with a machine learning model, it is predicted that cracks may develop into corner breaks, edge spalling, or ordinary cracks in the future.
[0189] Quantitative indicators: Cracks predicted to be corner breaks or edge spalling have a higher maintenance priority.
[0190] 2.3 Comprehensive assessment and decision output
[0191] Through a comprehensive analysis of factors such as crack type, quantity, and development trend, the system generates a maintenance priority for each slab and outputs decision-making suggestions. The specific decision-making process is as follows:
[0192] Assessment priority:
[0193] Each slab calculates a comprehensive score based on factors such as the severity of its cracks (crack type, expansion rate), historical data, etc., as the maintenance priority.
[0194] Comprehensive score formula:
[0195] Comprehensive score = (crack type weight) × (crack quantity) × (expansion rate) + (historical repair record)
[0196] The higher the comprehensive score, the higher the priority, and the repair tasks will be processed first.
[0197] Repair methods and suggestions:
[0198] For slabs that need to be repaired, the system will automatically generate repair suggestions. According to the type and size of the cracks, corresponding repair methods such as filling, cutting, or relaying are recommended.
[0199] Maintenance task assignment:
[0200] Based on the priority, the system automatically assigns tasks to maintenance personnel and sets the execution time window for the tasks. The sections with higher priority need to be repaired within a shorter time.
[0201] Cost and resource optimization:
[0202] The system also estimates the repair cost according to the scale of the maintenance task and resource allocation (such as personnel, equipment, budget, etc.) and provides optimization suggestions to ensure the optimal allocation of resources.
[0203] The above are only the embodiments of the present invention. Specific technical solutions and / or common knowledge such as characteristics well known in the art are not described in detail herein. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the implementation effect of the present invention and the practicality of the patent.
