Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geological and mineral exploration technology, and in particular to an automatic geological block division method, electronic equipment, and computer-readable medium. Background Technology

[0002] The geological block method is a commonly used approach in mineral resource reserve calculation. It involves dividing geological maps into blocks based on exploration data and then calculating the reserves of each block. However, the traditional geological block method is cumbersome, relying on manual judgment and operation, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to human error. Therefore, developing a method that can automatically, accurately, and quickly divide geological blocks is of paramount importance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and proposes an automatic geological block division method, electronic equipment and computer-readable medium, which can improve the accuracy and efficiency of geological and mineral resource assessment.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for automatically dividing geological blocks, comprising the following steps:

[0005] Obtain a geological map, which contains several exploration lines, and each exploration line has at least one projection point for an exploration project.

[0006] Determine the two closest projection points of each adjacent exploration line as the base points;

[0007] The system automatically divides the blocks based on the determined base points.

[0008] Furthermore, the blocks are automatically divided according to the determined base points, specifically including: automatically dividing the area between each pair of adjacent exploration lines in a preset order.

[0009] Furthermore, the area between two adjacent exploration lines is automatically divided into blocks, specifically including: starting from the base point on the two adjacent exploration lines, blocks are divided along two directions parallel to the exploration lines. Each block is a quadrilateral or a triangle, and the vertices of the quadrilateral or triangular blocks are the exploration engineering projection points on the two adjacent exploration lines.

[0010] The two directions parallel to the exploration line are two directions that are parallel to the exploration line and completely opposite to each other.

[0011] Furthermore, starting from the base point on two adjacent exploration lines, the blocks are divided along any direction parallel to the exploration lines, i.e., the first direction, specifically including:

[0012] S1. Starting from the base point on the first exploration line among two adjacent exploration lines, search for a new exploration project projection point along the first direction on the first exploration line. Starting from the base point on the second exploration line among two adjacent exploration lines, search for a new exploration project projection point along the first direction on the second exploration line.

[0013] S11. If new exploration project projection points are found along both the first exploration line and the second exploration line along the first direction, then connect the four points, including the first exploration project projection point found along the first direction on the first exploration line and the first exploration project projection point found along the first direction on the second exploration line, and the two base points, to form a quadrilateral, delineate a segment, and take the first exploration project projection point found along the first direction on the first exploration line and the first exploration project projection point found along the first direction on the second exploration line as the new base points, and continue to execute step S1;

[0014] S12. If a new exploration project projection point is found on either the first exploration line or the second exploration line along the first direction, then the three points, including the first exploration project projection point found on the first exploration line along the first direction or the first exploration project projection point found on the second exploration line along the first direction and two base points, are connected to form a triangle, which is delineated as a segment. The segment division process along the first direction in the area between the two adjacent exploration lines ends.

[0015] Furthermore, the automatic geological block division method of the present invention also includes the following steps: if no new exploration engineering projection point is found along the first exploration line and the second exploration line along the first direction, the block division process along the first direction in the area between the two adjacent exploration lines ends.

[0016] Furthermore, several exploration lines are distributed in parallel at intervals.

[0017] Furthermore, geological maps are either plan views or cross-sectional views.

[0018] Furthermore, determining the two closest exploration project projection points on each of the two adjacent exploration lines specifically includes: establishing a coordinate system on the geological map, obtaining the coordinates of each exploration project projection point, calculating the distance between any two exploration project projection points on each of the two adjacent exploration lines based on the coordinates of each exploration project projection point, and obtaining the two closest exploration project projection points on each of the two adjacent exploration lines.

[0019] Secondly, the present invention also provides an electronic device, comprising:

[0020] At least one processor; and

[0021] A memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein,

[0022] The memory stores one or more computer programs that can be executed by the at least one processor, the one or more of the computer programs being executed by the at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to perform the automatic geological block division method as described in the first aspect.

[0023] Thirdly, the present invention also provides a computer-readable medium storing a computer program, wherein the program, when executed by a processor, implements the steps in the automatic geological block division method as described in the first aspect.

[0024] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The automatic geological block division method of the present invention utilizes modern computer technology and a geographic information system (GIS) platform, combined with geological exploration data, to achieve rapid and automatic block division, improve the efficiency and accuracy of the geological block division method, and reduce the tediousness of manual operation and the introduction of human error.

[0026] Furthermore, the automatic geological block division method of the present invention has good versatility and scalability, and is applicable to geological and mineral resource exploration projects of different types and scales. Attached Figure Description

The terms “first,” “second,” and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components.

The terms “comprising,” “including,” or “including,” and similar terms mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects.

[0037] In the various figures, the same elements are represented by similar reference numerals. For clarity, not all parts in the figures are drawn to scale. Furthermore, some well-known parts may not be shown in the figures.

[0038] Many specific details of this disclosure are described below to provide a clearer understanding of it. However, as those skilled in the art will understand, this disclosure may be implemented without following these specific details.

[0039] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating an automatic geological block division method provided in this embodiment of the disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic geological block division method, comprising the following steps:

[0040] Obtain a geological map, which contains several exploration lines, and each exploration line has at least one projection point for an exploration project.

[0041] Determine the two closest projection points of each adjacent exploration line as the base points;

[0042] The system automatically divides the blocks based on the determined base points.

[0043] Furthermore, several exploration lines are distributed in parallel at intervals.

[0044] The main elements on a geological map are the exploration lines and the projection points of related exploration projects.

[0045] Geology Figure 1 Generally, it is a longitudinal projection profile (i.e., a vertical longitudinal projection map) or a horizontal projection map. The geological map in this embodiment is a longitudinal projection profile or a horizontal projection map based on the exploration project, and the elements on the map include exploration lines and exploration project projection points.

[0046] Assuming that in a two-dimensional drawing, the rightward direction is the positive x-axis, the upward direction is the positive y-axis, and a certain point is the origin (0,0), then a point can be represented by (x,y) coordinates, and a line can be represented by a set of points.

[0047] An exploration line refers to a set of parallel straight lines on the surface formed by an exploration project arranged within a set of vertical exploration profiles that are basically perpendicular to the strike of the ore body. Figure 2 The exploration lines, namely West 0, West 1, and West 2, are a set of parallel straight lines.

[0048] Exploration engineering projection points are a series of points known to be associated with exploration lines, such as... Figure 2 The exploration engineering projection points associated with the Central and Western 2 exploration lines are ZK201 and ZK202.

[0049] This invention also sorts and numbers the exploration lines from left to right according to the x-value of the points that make up the exploration lines; and sorts the points associated with the lines from top to bottom according to the y-value. For example... Figure 3 The fourth point of the second line is referred to as point 4.

[0050] In some embodiments, determining the two closest exploration engineering projection points on each of two adjacent exploration lines specifically includes: establishing a plane rectangular coordinate system on the geological map, obtaining the coordinates of each exploration engineering projection point, calculating the distance between any two exploration engineering projection points on each of two adjacent exploration lines based on the coordinates of each exploration engineering projection point, and obtaining the two closest exploration engineering projection points on each of two adjacent exploration lines.

[0051] If the geological map is a planar map, a Cartesian coordinate system is established on the planar map. If the geological map is a vertical projection map, i.e. a profile map, the spatial position can be calculated by using relative coordinates within a coordinate system.

[0052] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The present invention can also be used to measure the distance between any two exploration engineering projection points on two adjacent exploration lines using other methods.

[0053] Furthermore, the blocks are automatically divided according to the determined base points, specifically including: automatically dividing the area between each pair of adjacent exploration lines in a preset order;

[0054] Automatic segmentation of the area between two adjacent exploration lines is carried out, specifically including: starting from the base point on the two adjacent exploration lines, segments are divided along two directions parallel to the exploration lines. Each segment is a quadrilateral or a triangle, and the vertices of the quadrilateral or triangular segments are the exploration engineering projection points on the two adjacent exploration lines.

[0055] The two directions parallel to the exploration line are two directions that are parallel to the exploration line and completely opposite to each other.

[0056] Starting from the base points on two adjacent exploration lines, blocks are divided along two directions parallel to the exploration lines. This includes steps A and B. Step A involves dividing blocks along one direction parallel to the exploration lines, starting from the base points on the two adjacent exploration lines. Step B involves dividing blocks along the other direction parallel to the exploration lines, starting from the base points on the two adjacent exploration lines. Steps A and B can be performed sequentially or simultaneously, and the order of steps A and B is not required; step A can precede step B, or vice versa.

[0057] Furthermore, starting from the base point on two adjacent exploration lines, the blocks are divided along any direction parallel to the exploration lines, i.e., the first direction, specifically including:

[0058] S1. Starting from the base point on the first exploration line among two adjacent exploration lines, search for a new exploration project projection point along the first direction on the first exploration line. Starting from the base point on the second exploration line among two adjacent exploration lines, search for a new exploration project projection point along the first direction on the second exploration line.

[0059] S11. If new exploration project projection points are found along both the first exploration line and the second exploration line along the first direction, then connect the four points, including the first exploration project projection point found along the first direction on the first exploration line and the first exploration project projection point found along the first direction on the second exploration line, and the two base points, to form a quadrilateral, delineate a segment, and take the first exploration project projection point found along the first direction on the first exploration line and the first exploration project projection point found along the first direction on the second exploration line as the new base points, and continue to execute step S1;

[0060] S12. If a new exploration project projection point is found on either the first exploration line or the second exploration line along the first direction, then the three points, including the first exploration project projection point found on the first exploration line along the first direction or the first exploration project projection point found on the second exploration line along the first direction and two base points, are connected to form a triangle, which is delineated as a segment. The segment division process along the first direction in the area between the two adjacent exploration lines ends.

[0061] This invention uses exploration lines as control lines. Engineering exploration conditions on exploration lines are valid for the surrounding area. Similarly, the line connecting the closest points between adjacent exploration lines is also a valid line for determining the area, and then the area is divided accordingly.

[0062] Furthermore, the automatic geological block division method of the present invention also includes the following steps: if no new exploration engineering projection point is found along the first exploration line and the second exploration line along the first direction, the block division process along the first direction in the area between the two adjacent exploration lines ends.

[0063] Furthermore, after sequentially calculating the two closest projection points of two adjacent exploration lines, the line connecting the two closest projection points of two adjacent exploration lines is used as the connecting baseline, as shown in [reference needed]. Figure 4 Points 2 and 4 are the closest points on the second and third lines, and their connection is established. The exploration engineering projection point at one end of the connecting baseline is located on the first of the two adjacent exploration lines, and the exploration engineering projection point at the other end of the connecting baseline is located on the second of the two adjacent exploration lines. This invention can start with the connecting baseline and divide the blocks from top to bottom.

[0064] See Figure 5 This invention provides a detailed explanation of the automatic segmentation process using the segmentation between two-line and three-line grids, specifically including:

[0065] Divide into blocks upwards:

[0066] 1) Using the connection between the two closest points, point 24 and point 33, as the baseline, calculate upwards to obtain point 23 and point 32. Then, the four points, point 24, point 33, point 23 and point 32, form a quadrilateral, which is defined as block segment V1.

[0067] 2) Then, starting from the line connecting point 2-3 and point 3-2, calculate upwards to obtain point 2-2 and point 3-1. The four points 2-3, 3-2, 2-2, and 3-1 form a quadrilateral, which is defined as block segment V2.

[0068] 3) Continue in this manner until only 3 points are obtained. Connect them to form a triangle, define the block segment V3, and then define the segment upwards to end.

[0069] The process of dividing blocks downwards is similar to that upwards, defining the V4 block.

[0070] Following the above method, the points between other adjacent exploration lines (straight lines) are divided into blocks, resulting in the following: Figure 6 As shown, the automatic segmentation has ended. Figure 7 A geological map with coloring applied after the block connections provided in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0071] This invention also includes result verification and adjustment: the automatically divided blocks are compared and verified with actual exploration data to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results. If necessary, the block division is manually adjusted based on the verification results.
