Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of engineering measurement, and in particular to a method for transferring plane coordinates inside and outside a tunnel based on inertial navigation during a tunnel construction phase. Background Art

[0002] During tunnel construction, both external and internal measurements are required to ensure tunnel alignment and provide a planar position reference for internal construction. GNSS technology is often used for external measurements. GNSS field measurements are highly automated, require no line of sight between points, and can be operated in all weather conditions. Due to the narrow and long interior space of tunnels, transferring the planar coordinates of known points outside the tunnel to the interior often involves laying out a traverse or traverse network, and using a total station for ground measurement.

[0003] Chinese patent CN113739770B describes a method for correcting point cloud coordinates for laser scanning during tunnel motion, based on CPIII control points. While this method can efficiently generate a point cloud within a tunnel coordinate system, it requires the use of existing CPIII control points within the tunnel. Without a planar position reference within the tunnel, this method cannot calculate the conversion parameters between the inertial navigation coordinate system and the tunnel coordinate system, nor can it suppress the measurement errors of the gyroscope sensor in the inertial measurement unit that accumulate over time. Consequently, it cannot generate a high-quality point cloud within the tunnel coordinate system, rendering this solution unusable.

[0004] During tunnel construction, external coordinates need to be transferred into the tunnel. However, field measurements with a total station require the cooperation of multiple people, line of sight between points, and measurement of side lengths and angles at each station. This results in a low degree of automation, which affects measurement efficiency. The mobile scanning solution relies on CPIII control points, and no such benchmarks exist inside the tunnel before the external coordinates are transferred into the tunnel. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides a method for transferring plane coordinates inside and outside a tunnel based on inertial navigation, which solves the problem in the background art that the method for transferring coordinates inside and outside a tunnel using a total station requires the cooperation of multiple people and has a low degree of automation, and solves the difficulty of reference transfer that does not rely on the CPIII control network.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is a method for transferring plane coordinates inside and outside a tunnel based on inertial navigation, comprising the following steps: Step 1, preliminary preparation; Prepare the tunnel's external control points, the control points' coordinates in the CGCS2000 coordinate system and the tunnel's plane engineering coordinate system, the conversion parameters between the CGCS2000 coordinate system and the tunnel's plane engineering coordinate system, paired in-tunnel points, the distance between a pair of in-tunnel points, and a mobile platform equipped with alignment and locking devices; Step 2: continuously collect data along the closed route; From the tunnel outside control point, data is collected along the round trip closed route uninterruptedly, when collecting control point and hole point data, the platform is static after aligning with the control point or hole point, and the data collection time is greater than 30 seconds; when collecting data between the control point or hole point, the moving speed of the platform is less than 1 meter per second; Step 3, post-data processing, calculating the initial coordinates of the hole point in the CGCS2000 coordinate system; The original data collected is respectively forward and backward solved, the forward trajectory and the backward trajectory are obtained, the forward trajectory and the backward trajectory are weighted and fused, after the weighted fusion, the trajectory closure difference is allocated and corrected, and the trajectory after the trajectory closure difference allocation is converted into the CGCS2000 coordinate system; Step 4, hole point pair distance constraint adjustment, improving the measurement accuracy; There are m hole points in the tunnel, which form k=m / 2 point pairs, and the measured distance of each point pair is d j ; the unknown parameter vector X is the coordinates of all hole points, and the observation value vector is the CGCS2000 coordinate system coordinates of the hole points measured by the inertial navigation and the distance between the hole point pairs; the indirect adjustment obtains the CGCS2000 coordinate system coordinates of the hole points; The function model between the unknown parameter vector X and the observation value vector L is established as: L=f(X) When the indirect adjustment is performed, the hole point coordinates X 前 obtained from the forward trajectory are taken as the approximate value of the unknown parameter vector X, and let

[0007] The approximate value X 前 of the unknown parameter vector X is substituted into the function model of the indirect adjustment, and there is

[0008] The error equation of the indirect adjustment is:

[0009] Wherein, V is the observation value correction number, A is the coefficient matrix, and after calculation, the following is obtained:

[0010] In the formula, P is the weight matrix of the observation value, and the final result of the indirect adjustment is

[0011] X in the above formula is the parameter vector obtained after the indirect adjustment; Step 5, coordinate conversion, calculating the hole point tunnel plane engineering coordinate system coordinates; Using the known conversion parameters of the CGCS2000 coordinate system and the tunnel plane engineering coordinate system, the coordinates of the CGCS2000 coordinate system of the point inside the tunnel are converted into the coordinates of the tunnel plane engineering coordinate system; the tunnel plane engineering coordinates of the point inside the tunnel are the final results obtained by the transfer.

[0012] In step 1, there are no less than 2 control points set at each entrance outside the tunnel.

[0013] The distance between a pair of points in the hole in step 1 is no more than 40 meters and is accurately measured using a rangefinder.

[0014] In step 1, the inertial navigation system is placed on a mobile platform, and the mobile platform is provided with an alignment device. After the alignment device is aligned with the control point, the center of mass of the platform and the control point are on the same plumb line; the mobile platform is equipped with a mechanical locking device, which enables the inertial navigation system to perform stationary observation after locking.

[0015] In step 2, data including gyroscope, accelerometer and time raw data are continuously collected along the round-trip closed route.

[0016] After the platform is aligned with the control point outside the tunnel or the point inside the tunnel in step 2, the mechanical lock is tightened and the platform is stationary.

[0017] The round-trip closed route in step 2 starts from the first control point outside the tunnel, collects data from each control point outside the tunnel and each point inside the tunnel, and completes data collection at the last point inside the tunnel. Then, data is collected from each point inside the tunnel and each control point outside the tunnel in the reverse order until the data collection is completed, and data collection is completed without interruption.

[0018] The forward trajectory and the backward trajectory in step 3 are respectively denoted as P 前 and P 后 , the weighted fusion method is:

[0019] in, is the weight;

[0020] Where n is the number of collected data, t1 represents the collection time of the first data, t i Indicates the collection time of the i-th data, and i≤n, t n Indicates the time when the last data was collected.

[0021] In step 3, the trajectory closure difference is distributed and corrected. First, the trajectory closure difference △P=P n -P1, the closure difference distribution model is:

[0022] The method of the application is inertial navigation one-key starting, continuously and automatically collecting data, without manual instrument erection and reading, and the mobile platform moves at a certain speed between the control points and the in-hole points without manual intervention, so that the minimum required three people for cooperation in the wire surveying are reduced to only one person, the manual workload is reduced, and the surveying efficiency is improved; the application realizes high-precision tunnel in-out plane coordinate transfer under the condition of no CPIII, without relying on in-hole CPIII control points, and improves the applicability; the application solves the problem of unachievable construction period tunnel inertial navigation measurement drift by closed path design and dynamic weighted fusion.

After aligning with the control point, the mechanical lock is locked and data is collected. The data collection time is longer than 30 seconds; (3) After the data collection of the control point B outside the tunnel is completed, the platform mechanical lock is opened, and the platform slowly moves from outside the tunnel to inside the tunnel, driving along the tunnel axis; when the platform passes the first point P1R inside the tunnel, the platform is aligned with the point P1R inside the tunnel, the mechanical lock is locked, and the data collection time is greater than 30 seconds; (4) After the P1R data collection of the first in-hole point is completed, the platform mechanical lock is opened, and the platform is slowly moved to other in-hole points in turn. After aligning with the in-hole points, the mechanical lock is locked. The data collection time is longer than 30 seconds; (5) After the P4L data collection of the last point inside the tunnel is completed, the platform moves along the opposite route and collects data at the points inside the tunnel and the control points outside the tunnel in the opposite order until it returns to the first control point A outside the tunnel, completing the data collection; (6) During the data collection process, the inertial navigation system will remain powered on from the first control point A outside the tunnel until the data collection is completed at the first control point A outside the tunnel. During this period, the inertial navigation system will not be powered off and data collection will continue. (7) Slow platform movement means the platform moves at a speed of less than 1 meter per second; Step 3: Post-data processing, calculate the initial coordinates of the points in the cave in the CGCS2000 coordinate system; (1) Perform forward and backward solutions on the original data respectively. The forward solution solves the inertial navigation trajectory in the order from the first data collected to the last data, and obtains the trajectory P 前 , the backward solution is performed in the order from the last data collected to the first data to obtain the trajectory P 后 ; (2) P 前 and P 后 Weighted fusion, the weights are:

[0027] Where n is the number of collected data, t1 represents the collection time of the first data, t i Indicates the collection time of the i-th data, and i≤n, t n Indicates the collection time of the last data; The weighted fusion method is:

[0032] The approximate value X 前 of the unknown parameter vector X is substituted into the function model of indirect adjustment, and there is

[0033] The error equation of indirect adjustment is:

[0034] Wherein, V is the observation value correction number, and A is the coefficient matrix. After calculation, the following is obtained:

After distance constraint adjustment, the accuracy of the in-hole point coordinate is improved by more than 30%; Step 5, coordinate conversion, calculate the in-hole point tunnel plane engineering coordinate system coordinate; The known conversion parameters are used to convert the in-hole point CGCS2000 coordinate system coordinate after adjustment into the tunnel plane engineering coordinate system coordinate. The in-hole point tunnel plane engineering coordinate is the final result obtained by transmission.

[0037] In traditional traverse survey, a total station is manually set up at the station and readings are taken, and a prism is manually set up at the foresight point and the back sight point for aiming. At least 3 people are needed to work together. After the completion of one station survey, the station needs to be manually moved. Based on inertial navigation, only one person is needed to complete the work, and the time is shorter.
