[0002] In the field of tunnel excavation blasting effect evaluation, the existing technology has many limitations, which is difficult to meet the efficient and accurate construction requirements. First of all, the traditional manual measurement method not only needs to interrupt the construction process, but also takes more than 30 minutes to evaluate a single cycle, which seriously restricts the rhythm of rapid tunnel construction, and the measurement results are easily affected by human operation errors, and the reliability is difficult to guarantee. Secondly, although high-precision devices such as laser scanning can obtain three-dimensional data, the cost of purchasing the device is high, and the data post-processing process is complex, and the analysis time of a single group of data is long, which cannot provide real-time feedback for the next round of blasting parameter adjustment, especially not suitable for small and medium-sized tunnels or frequent monitoring scenes.
[0003] Furthermore, the judgment of rock mass blastability has long relied on the experience accumulation of engineers, and the evaluation of key indicators such as rock hardness and fracture development degree is highly subjective, which easily leads to mismatch between blasting parameters and actual rock properties, and further causes serious overbreak, poor excavation face flatness and other problems. At the same time, the evaluation dimension of the existing technology is relatively single, and is mostly focused on basic indicators such as overbreak, and lacks systematic analysis of the deep relationship between the correlation of excavation face flatness and support cost, the adaptability of rock mass distribution and blasting energy, etc., which is difficult to form a comprehensive blasting effect evaluation system.

[0043] The core of the tunnel excavation face blasting effect evaluation method based on digital image technology solving the above technical problems lies in: establishing a rock body identification model, identifying the rock body image of the excavation face after blasting based on the rock body identification model, obtaining the lithology distribution result of the excavation face, including the lithology category and the area ratio of each lithology in the excavation face; establishing a blastability index calculation model according to the lithology distribution result and the flatness of the excavation face, quantifying the rock body blastability characteristics of the rock body in data form, and combining the blastability index of the target rock body with the overbreak, underbreak and flatness to adjust the blasting parameters of the target rock body, thereby providing data support for the accurate matching of the blasting parameters and the lithology of the excavation face.
[0044] As shown in Figure 1 The tunnel excavation face blasting effect evaluation method based on digital image technology provided by the application comprises the following steps:
[0045] S1: Collecting the rock body image of the excavation face after blasting, and pre-processing the image.
[0046] Before collecting the rock body image of the excavation face, the markers are laid out and the image collection equipment is installed. The marker laying: fixing the reference markers, such as circular targets with a diameter of 5-10 cm, around the tunnel excavation face, and pre-measuring the center coordinates of the markers by a total station instrument as the registration reference of the image and the tunnel design coordinate system. The image collection equipment installation: fixing an industrial camera (resolution ≥ 12 million pixels) at a distance of 5-10 m behind the tunnel face, or using a drone with a high-definition camera to hover and shoot the rock body image within a safe distance, and setting the camera parameters as follows: focal length 50-100 mm, aperture f / 8-f / 16, exposure time 1 / 500-1 / 1000 s, to ensure the clarity of the lithological layering and blasting traces on the excavation face.
[0047] After the marker laying and image collection equipment installation are completed, the excavation rock body image is collected according to the set image collection frequency. In order to avoid the influence of weathering or secondary disturbance of the surrounding rock on the data accuracy, the rock body image is collected within 10 minutes after the blasting is completed and the smoke is discharged.
[0048] During the rock body image collection, if the surface texture of the excavation face rock body is blurred, the rock body is homogeneous, or the rock surface is smooth after blasting without obvious joints, or the natural features such as cracks and lithological boundaries are difficult to identify due to dust and light interference, the speckle spraying is needed to supplement the texture. If the natural texture features of the excavation face rock body, such as the layering of shale, the particle distribution of sandstone and the developed cracks, are clear, and these features can be stably identified in the image without being seriously disturbed by light and dust, the speckle spraying is not needed.
[0049] The collection frequency of the rock body image is set to 1 time per blasting cycle. If a lithology mutation occurs, such as from sandstone to granite, the collection frequency is increased to 2-3 times, and the rock body images are shot in different areas of the tunnel face.
[0050] After the image acquisition is completed, the acquired image and the excavation design contour line of the tunnel are imported into a backend server, and subsequent data processing is performed in the backend server.
[0051] The pre-processing of the acquired rock mass image includes image denoising, image registration, and contrast enhancement.
[0052] Image denoising: In this embodiment, a Gaussian filtering method is used to remove high-frequency noise in the image, and the formula is wherein is the original image, is a Gaussian function, is the image after noise removal.
[0053] Image registration: Taking the reference marker as the feature point, the conversion matrix of the design coordinate system and the image coordinate system is calculated .
[0054] , ;
[0055] wherein is the image pixel coordinate, is the design coordinate system coordinate after conversion, and the conversion matrix is solved by the least square method to minimize the marker coordinate error, wherein the elements of the conversion matrix are used to describe the coordinate conversion relationship between the image coordinate system and the tunnel design coordinate system, and the optimal matrix elements are determined by minimizing the sum of squares of the error between the converted coordinates and the actual design coordinates;
[0056] The acquisition of the elements of the conversion matrix : Define the error function , and calculate the partial derivatives of , respectively, and set the partial derivatives to 0 to obtain a linear equation group, and the element values of the conversion matrix are obtained through the linear equation group.
[0057] Contrast enhancement: adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) is used to improve the lithology texture clarity in the image, ;
[0058] The principle is to solve the problem of lithology texture blurring caused by uneven lighting and dust covering on the tunnel excavation surface, and to achieve accurate enhancement through three-step core processing:
[0059] Block-based adaptive processing: The image is divided into multiple local sub-blocks (e.g., 16×16 pixels), and the gray-level distribution of each sub-block is calculated independently, so that the lithological textures (e.g., rock layer joints, grain boundaries) in the shadow area and the bright area can be enhanced separately, avoiding the loss of local details caused by global processing;
[0060] Contrast Limit: Set clipLimit=2.0, which means that when the number of pixels in a single gray level exceeds 2% of the total pixels in the sub-block, the excess part is evenly distributed to other gray levels to prevent dust noise or local reflections from being over-amplified into "pseudo-texture" and to ensure that the enhancement focuses on the real lithological features.
[0061] Boundary smoothing: Bilinear interpolation is used to process overlapping areas of sub-blocks to avoid fractures in rock texture caused by block division, and to ensure the continuity of cross-regional features such as joints and fissures.
[0062] S2: Establish a rock mass identification model, and identify the preprocessed image based on the rock mass identification model to obtain the lithological distribution results of the excavation face, including lithological type and the area ratio of each type of lithology in the excavation face.
[0063] A rock mass identification model is established based on the U-Net network, using the cross-entropy function as the loss function, the preprocessed rock mass image of the excavation face as the input feature, and the lithology category as the true label. The U-Net network is trained, and the predicted lithology categories of the U-Net network are used during the training process. The loss function is optimized by comparing it with the true labels; the specific loss function is as follows: ;
[0064] The area ratio of various lithologies in the excavation face is calculated as follows: ,in Indicates lithological category, , Indicates the first The area percentage of similar lithologies in the excavation face. For indicator functions, Representing coordinates The lithology at that location meets the requirements. hour, Select 1 if the value is 1, otherwise select 0. This represents the total number of pixels in the excavation face image.
[0065] S3: Establish a calculation model for the explosiveness index based on the results of flatness and lithological distribution.
[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, the flatness calculation includes: selecting the baseline of the excavation surface (such as the tangent of the design outline). Calculate the actual coordinates of the rock mass in the excavation face image. Distance to the baseline The maximum distance The ratio of the average distance to the maximum distance is taken as the flatness.
[0067] The explosibility index calculation model is wherein is the explosibility index, is the flatness is the weight coefficient of the flatness, is the area proportion of different lithology in the excavation surface, is the weight coefficient of the corresponding lithology.
[0068] In the embodiment, the value of the weight coefficient is obtained based on the training of historical blasting data by the neural network.
[0069] S4: The image of the target rock mass is collected in the same manner as in step S1, and the explosibility index of the target rock mass is calculated based on the explosibility index calculation model.
[0070] S5: The blasting parameters of the target rock mass are adjusted in combination with the explosibility index of the target rock mass and the overbreak volume, the underbreak volume and the flatness.
[0071] Overbreak area and underbreak area calculation: the actual excavation contour line is obtained from the enhanced image based on the edge detection algorithm, and the overbreak volume and the underbreak volume are calculated based on the actual excavation contour line and the design excavation contour line according to the scale of the pixel area and the actual area, as shown in Figure 2 ; specifically, , , represents the pixel points inside the actual contour line but not inside the design contour line, represents the pixel points inside the design contour line but not inside the actual contour line. If the overbreak volume is greater than (the set value, and the design excavation area), it is suggested to reduce the peripheral hole charge amount, and the specific calculation method of the new charge amount is as follows: ,
[0072] is the initial design charge amount. If the flatness is greater than the set value 0.3, it is suggested to increase the blast hole spacing , . If the flatness is greater than the set value 0.3, it is suggested to increase the blast hole spacing ,
[0073] . If the flatness is greater than the set value 0.3, it is suggested to increase the blast hole spacing ,
[0074] .Figure 4 The explosibility index is graded as shown, When the explosibility grade is low, it is suggested to increase the charge amount of the cut slot by 10%-15%, the hole spacing is reduced to 90%, and the initiation time difference is shortened by 5%. When the explosibility is medium, the cut slot charge amount, hole spacing and initiation time difference remain unchanged. When the explosibility is high, it is suggested to reduce the charge amount of the peripheral hole by 10%, increase the hole spacing by 10%, and extend the initiation time difference by 5%.
