Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of concrete quality testing technology, specifically a method for testing the internal quality of concrete in the complex environment of a water diversion tunnel. Background Technology
[0002] As a key structure in water conservancy projects, the internal quality of the concrete lining of water diversion tunnels directly affects the safety and durability of the project. The internal environment of tunnels is complex, with high humidity, temperature variations, and seepage pressure, among other factors. These environmental conditions significantly impact the forming and long-term performance of concrete. Traditional concrete quality testing methods mainly rely on core drilling for laboratory compressive strength tests or the use of rebound hammers and ultrasonic testing for surface or shallow non-destructive testing. Core drilling is a destructive testing method with limited sampling points, making it difficult to reflect the overall quality of the concrete and causing structural damage. Non-destructive testing methods such as rebound hammers and ultrasonic testing are significantly affected by surface conditions, humidity, and internal reinforcement, making it difficult to guarantee accuracy and reliability in the complex environment of tunnels.
[0003] Existing internal quality inspection technologies, such as ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and impact-echo methods, can theoretically detect internal defects, but they have limitations in practical applications. GPR is sensitive to the moisture content of the medium, and its signal attenuation is severe in humid tunnel environments, resulting in decreased resolution. Impact-echo methods struggle to accurately identify deep defects and are highly dependent on operator experience. These methods typically provide qualitative defect indications and are difficult to quantitatively assess quality characteristics such as concrete homogeneity and strength distribution. More importantly, the parameter settings of existing detection methods largely rely on general empirical values and fail to adaptively adjust to specific tunnel environments, leading to unstable detection results in different environmental areas and a high risk of missed or false detections.
[0004] The internal quality of concrete interacts in a complex way with its external environment; the formation and development of the internal structure of concrete with the same mix proportion will differ under different environmental scenarios. However, currently, there is a lack of a method that can take into account the influence of environmental factors and dynamically calibrate and optimize the testing process. Testing devices operate according to a fixed pattern, and the data acquired may have systematic deviations from the actual quality state, which cannot be effectively corrected by a single measurement. Therefore, there is a need for an intelligent testing method that can adapt to complex environments, achieve self-calibration of testing parameters, and gradually approach the actual quality state. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for detecting the internal quality of concrete in the complex environment of water diversion tunnels, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a method for detecting the internal quality of concrete in the complex environment of a water diversion tunnel. The method includes: performing uniformity calibration on the internal quality of concrete under multiple environmental scenarios, based on the initial quality characteristic parameters corresponding to each environmental scenario, to obtain calibrated quality characteristic parameters of concrete under each environmental scenario; setting a target state for the internal quality of concrete, manipulating a detection device to operate based on the calibrated quality characteristic parameters corresponding to the target state, while simultaneously collecting the actual quality state of concrete through a sensing device; if the difference between the target state and the actual state reaches or exceeds a predetermined tolerance limit, deriving a quality difference parameter using the calibrated quality characteristic parameters corresponding to the target state and the quality characteristic parameters corresponding to the actual state; modifying the calibrated quality characteristic parameters corresponding to the target state using the quality difference parameter, generating modified quality characteristic parameters corresponding to the target state; treating the modified quality characteristic parameters as the new calibrated quality characteristic parameters corresponding to the target state, and re-executing the operation of manipulating the detection device until the difference between the target state and the actual state is less than the predetermined tolerance limit.
[0007] Preferably, the process of calibrating the internal quality uniformity of concrete specifically includes: using initial quality characteristic parameters to guide the detection device to scan the concrete and obtain the internal response information of the concrete; extracting the true quality state parameters from the internal response information; calculating the quality uniformity measure based on the true quality state parameters; when the quality uniformity measure is higher than the preset uniformity limit, transforming the true quality state parameters into true quality characteristic parameters according to the pre-constructed environmental quality correlation model, wherein the environmental quality correlation model expresses the relationship between the environmental scenario and the quality characteristic parameters; using a parameter update model to iteratively process the true quality characteristic parameters to generate iterated quality characteristic parameters; using the iterated quality characteristic parameters as initial quality characteristic parameters and performing the scanning operation again until the quality uniformity measure is lower than the preset uniformity limit; and identifying the iterated quality characteristic parameters as calibrated quality characteristic parameters.
[0008] Preferably, when using a parameter update model for iterative processing, the following actions are performed: compare the actual quality characteristic parameters with the initial quality characteristic parameters to find the difference parameters in the current iteration cycle; obtain the corresponding correction weight parameters for the current iteration cycle, use the correction weight parameters to scale the difference parameters, and generate a correction amount for the initial quality characteristic parameters; apply the correction amount to the initial quality characteristic parameters to realize the quality characteristic parameters after iteration.
[0009] Preferably, the method for obtaining the corresponding correction weight parameters for the current iteration cycle is as follows: summarize the difference change direction, difference change magnitude, and difference change tendency of all detection positions in the current iteration cycle; construct the iteration state vector for each detection position based on the difference change direction, difference change magnitude, and difference change tendency; use the iteration state vector as the search key to find the corresponding correction weight in the pre-prepared correction weight list; and assemble the correction weight parameters for the current iteration cycle according to the correction weight of each detection position.
[0010] Preferably, after obtaining the calibrated quality characteristic parameters, the method is further implemented as follows: for each environmental scenario, the quality fitting coefficient parameters under each environmental scenario are solved by combining the corresponding initial quality characteristic parameters and the calibrated quality characteristic parameters; based on each environmental scenario and its quality fitting coefficient parameters, an environmental quality mapping model is created, wherein the environmental quality mapping model defines the correspondence between environmental scenarios and quality fitting coefficient parameters.
[0011] Preferably, the step of modifying the calibrated quality characteristic parameters using the quality difference parameters includes: retrieving the quality fitting coefficient parameters corresponding to the target state through the environmental quality mapping model; using the quality fitting coefficient parameters to correct the quality difference parameters to obtain the correction amount for the calibrated quality characteristic parameters; and applying the correction amount to modify the calibrated quality characteristic parameters to obtain the modified quality characteristic parameters.
[0012] Preferably, when obtaining the internal response information of concrete, ultrasonic detection technology is used to project sound wave signals onto the concrete and record the sound wave transmission time and the degree of signal attenuation; based on the sound wave transmission time and the degree of signal attenuation, a sound velocity distribution image and an attenuation distribution image are created; the sound velocity distribution image and the attenuation distribution image are fused to form the internal response information.
[0013] Preferably, when identifying the difference parameters for the current iteration cycle, the numerical difference between the actual quality characteristic parameters and the initial quality characteristic parameters is calculated; the numerical difference is standardized to obtain the normed difference; and the difference parameters are formed based on the normed difference.
[0014] The preferred process for constructing the corrected weight list is as follows: performing iterative operations on several experimental samples, recording the iterative state vector and the optimal corrected weight at each detection position; learning the mapping relationship from the iterative state vector to the optimal corrected weight through a neural network algorithm; and saving the mapping relationship as a corrected weight list.
[0015] Preferably, when solving the quality fitting coefficient parameters for each environmental scenario, for each environmental scenario, the initial quality characteristic parameters and the calibrated quality characteristic parameters are fed into the multivariate regression model; the gradient descent method is used to optimize the coefficients, and the quality fitting coefficient parameters are output.
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are: by performing uniformity calibration under multiple environmental scenarios, this invention reduces the interference of complex environmental factors on the detection results. Environmental conditions vary in different sections within the water diversion tunnel, affecting the apparent properties of concrete and the propagation of detection signals. This method performs independent calibration for different environmental scenarios, generating calibrated parameters adapted to specific scenarios, thus improving the adaptability of the detection under different environmental conditions and the comparability of results.
[0017] By employing a mechanism that compares the target state with the actual state and sets tolerance limits, a closed-loop feedback and self-correction mechanism is achieved in the detection process. Traditional detection methods are mostly open-loop processes, generating detection results all at once. This method, however, collects the actual state in real time and compares it with the target expectation. When the deviation exceeds the limit, a parameter correction process is automatically triggered, enabling the detection process to have self-correcting capabilities and gradually narrowing the gap between the measured value and the actual value.
[0018] This method dynamically adjusts the detection characteristic parameters based on quality difference parameters, enabling the detection device to adapt its behavior to the actual quality condition of the concrete. Instead of mechanically executing a preset detection procedure, it intelligently adjusts the guidance parameters for the next detection based on the deviation between the previous detection result and the desired target, making the detection action more targeted and improving detection efficiency and accuracy.
[0019] The iterative execution of detection and parameter adjustment processes ensures the high reliability of the final detection results. Through multiple cycles of "detection-comparison-adjustment," the system continuously optimizes its detection strategy, ultimately keeping the difference between the detection results obtained under the guidance of the set target state and the expected target within an acceptable range. This iterative approximation method effectively overcomes random errors or systematic biases that may be caused by environmental interference, equipment errors, and other factors in a single detection, significantly improving the confidence level of the detection results.
[0020] This method transforms concrete quality testing from a static, passive operation into a dynamic, proactive optimization process, providing a more accurate and robust technical means for the health diagnosis of concrete structures in complex environments such as water diversion tunnels. This is of great significance for ensuring the long-term safe operation of water conservancy projects. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a method for detecting the internal quality of concrete in the complex environment of a water diversion tunnel. The method includes: 1) Under multiple environmental scenarios within the water diversion tunnel, each environmental scenario corresponds to an initial quality characteristic parameter, which is used to initialize the detection process. 2) The internal quality of the concrete is calibrated for homogeneity based on the initial quality characteristic parameter. This homogeneity calibration aims to eliminate the influence of environmental factors on quality detection, resulting in calibrated quality characteristic parameters of the concrete under each environmental scenario. The calibrated quality characteristic parameters represent the standardized quality state of the concrete under a specific environment. 3) A target state for the internal quality of the concrete is set, which is an ideal quality level predefined based on engineering requirements. 4) A detection device is operated based on the calibrated quality characteristic parameters corresponding to the target state. This detection device includes, but is not limited to, ultrasonic detection equipment or electromagnetic sensors. 5) The actual quality state of the concrete is collected through sensing equipment, reflecting the actual internal conditions of the concrete. 6) The difference between the target state and the actual state is compared, and the difference is calculated numerically. If the difference reaches or exceeds a predetermined tolerance limit, which is set by the user and represents the acceptable range of quality deviation. The quality difference parameter is derived using the calibrated quality characteristic parameters corresponding to the target state and the actual state. This parameter quantifies the deviation between the target and actual states. Using this quality difference parameter, the calibrated quality characteristic parameters corresponding to the target state are modified. This modification process involves a parameter adjustment algorithm, generating modified quality characteristic parameters for the target state. These modified quality characteristic parameters are then considered as the new calibrated quality characteristic parameters for the target state. The operation of manipulating the detection device is then repeated. This iterative process continues until the difference between the target and actual states is less than a predetermined tolerance limit, thereby ensuring detection accuracy and reliability.
[0027] Example 1: See Figure 2The process of calibrating the uniformity of concrete internal quality involves using initial quality characteristic parameters to guide a detection device in scanning the concrete. The detection device's operating mode, set based on these initial quality characteristic parameters, includes the initial configuration of transmission power, scanning frequency, and scanning path. The scanning operation covers a predetermined area of the concrete structure and obtains the concrete's internal response information, which is represented by a sequence of raw voltage signals captured by the sensor array. The extraction of true quality state parameters from this internal response information employs digital signal processing technology. After noise reduction and filtering of the raw voltage signals, time-domain and frequency-domain feature values are extracted. These true quality state parameters include wave velocity, amplitude attenuation coefficient, and spectral centroid position. A quality uniformity metric is then calculated based on these true quality state parameters. This metric is obtained by calculating the coefficient of variation of the parameter values at each scanning point, defined as the ratio of the parameter's standard deviation to its mean. When the quality uniformity metric exceeds the preset uniformity limit, the preset uniformity limit is set to a value range of 0.15-0.25 based on the concrete strength grade. The real quality state parameters are transformed into real quality feature parameters according to the pre-built environmental quality correlation model. The environmental quality correlation model is trained and generated using the random forest algorithm. The model input includes three types of environmental scenario parameters: ambient temperature, humidity, and surrounding rock pressure.
[0028] The environmental quality correlation model is constructed based on a historical testing database, which stores calibration data of concrete test blocks under different environmental conditions. The model output is the corrected value of quality characteristic parameters after compensating for environmental interference. A parameter update model is used to iteratively process the actual quality characteristic parameters. The parameter update model employs a gradient descent algorithm with a momentum coefficient set to 0.9. The process of generating the iteratively updated quality characteristic parameters includes vector projection operations in the parameter space. The iteratively updated quality characteristic parameters are used as the initial quality characteristic parameters for a second scanning operation. The scanning operation uses a spiral path to cover the concrete cross-section, and the path spacing is dynamically adjusted according to the detection accuracy requirements. The parameter update and scanning operations are executed cyclically until the quality uniformity metric falls below a preset uniformity limit. The termination condition simultaneously meets the convergence threshold that the parameter change rate is less than 1e-5. The iteratively updated quality characteristic parameters are recognized as calibrated quality characteristic parameters and stored in a structured data format for subsequent quality assessment. The detection device integrates a temperature compensation module during the scanning process. The temperature compensation module monitors the concrete surface temperature in real time and corrects the sound wave transmission speed. Internal response information is acquired using a multi-probe synchronous acquisition scheme, with sixteen ultrasonic probes arranged in a matrix to simultaneously transmit and receive signals. The calculation of quality uniformity measurement incorporates a spatial weighting factor, with the weight of scan points in the edge region set to 0.7 times that of the central region to reduce boundary effects. The online update mechanism of the environmental quality correlation model is implemented through a sliding window, with the window size set to the most recent 100 sets of detection data. The iteration step size of the parameter update model adopts an adaptive adjustment strategy, halving the step size when the error increases after three consecutive iterations. The repeated execution of the scanning operation is automated and looped via a PLC controller, with the loop cycle synchronized with the concrete hydration heat monitoring. The dynamic adjustment of the preset uniformity limit is based on the tunnel burial depth parameter, increasing the limit value by 0.02 for every ten meters of depth increase. The transformation of the actual quality state parameters incorporates an outlier removal mechanism, eliminating data points that deviate from the mean by more than three standard deviations.
[0029] The input preprocessing of the environmental quality correlation model includes environmental parameter normalization, mapping temperature, humidity, and pressure to the [0,1] interval. The iteration termination judgment of the parameter update model adds a maximum iteration limit, set to 200 iterations to prevent infinite loops. The spatial distribution evaluation of the quality uniformity metric uses the Moran index method; an index greater than 0.5 is considered significant spatial autocorrelation. The command protocol for the detection device adopts the Modbus communication standard, with a transmission rate set to 115200bps. Real-time parsing of internal response information uses the Fast Fourier Transform algorithm, with a transform length of 2048 points. Feature extraction of the true quality state parameters includes wavelet packet decomposition, with four decomposition layers covering the 0-100kHz frequency band. The prediction confidence evaluation of the environmental quality correlation model uses the Bootstrap method; model retraining is triggered when the confidence level falls below 90%. Parameter initialization of the parameter update model uses the Xavier initialization method to maintain stable variance during forward propagation. The mesh generation of the concrete scanning area adopts an adaptive quadtree structure, with automatic mesh refinement in areas with dense defects. The initial quality characteristic parameters were set based on the concrete design mix proportion, with the water-cement ratio parameter converted into the acoustic reference velocity. Verification of the calibrated quality characteristic parameters employed cross-validation, dividing the concrete specimens into training and testing sets. Feature selection for the environmental quality correlation model used the mutual information method, retaining the top five features with mutual information values related to environmental parameters. The momentum term update of the parameter update model used the Nesterov accelerated gradient method, pre-calculating the gradient descent direction. Time-series analysis of quality uniformity measurement used a sliding window standard deviation, with a window width set to 10 scan cycles. The detection device's fault self-diagnosis function monitored probe impedance changes, triggering an alarm when impedance anomalies exceeded 20%. Compressed storage of internal response information used a run-length encoding algorithm, with a compression ratio controlled at approximately 50%. Standardization of the actual quality state parameters employed the RobustScaler method, scaling using median and quartile ranges.
[0030] The distributed training of the environmental quality correlation model employs a parameter server architecture, with worker nodes processing data from different environmental scenarios in parallel. Parallel computation of the parameter update model is accelerated using CUDA, utilizing GPUs to process parameter updates for multiple detection points in parallel. Scan path optimization utilizes a genetic algorithm, with the fitness function defined as a weighted sum of path length and coverage. Preset uniformity limits are set based on concrete pouring layers, with each layer having its own independent limit value. The fusion of real quality state parameters employs DS evidence theory, merging confidence assignments from multiple sensors. The interpretability analysis of the environmental quality correlation model uses the SHAP value method to quantify the contribution of each environmental parameter to the output. Robustness enhancement of the parameter update model utilizes the Huber loss function to reduce the impact of outliers on parameter updates. Visualization of quality uniformity measurement uses heatmaps, with color mapping using Jet chromatography. Synchronization triggering of the detection devices utilizes a GPS timing module, with time synchronization errors between probes less than 1 microsecond. The quality assessment of internal response information uses signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) calculation; data segments with an SNR below 20 dB are marked as invalid. The temporal alignment of the true quality state parameters employs a dynamic time warping algorithm to eliminate the impact of scanning speed fluctuations. Version management of the environmental quality correlation model utilizes a Git system, generating new version tags with each model update. Hyperparameter tuning of the parameter update model employs a Bayesian optimization method, with the optimization objective being iterative convergence speed. An interruption recovery mechanism for the scanning operation records the breakpoint location, allowing scanning to resume from the last valid point after recovery. The adaptive adjustment of the preset uniformity limit is based on the age parameter, tightening the limit value by 0.01 for every seven days increase in age. Spatial interpolation of the true quality state parameters uses the Kriging method, with a Gaussian model selected as the variogram function. Online learning of the environmental quality correlation model employs an incremental learning algorithm, updating model parameters via streaming new data. The memory effect of the parameter update model utilizes hidden state vectors, which carry historical iteration information. Multi-scale analysis of quality uniformity measurement employs wavelet transform, with decomposition scales covering the range of 1 cm to 1 m. The calibration cycle of the detection device is set to 24 hours, and standard aluminum alloy test blocks are used as calibration standard blocks. Anomaly detection for internal response information employs the Isolation Forest algorithm, removing data points with anomaly scores exceeding 0.6. Dimensionality reduction of the true quality state parameters utilizes the t-SNE method, mapping high-dimensional parameters to a two-dimensional space for visualization.
[0031] The environmental quality correlation model is deployed via a RESTful interface, receiving environmental parameters in JSON format. The numerical stability of the parameter update model is maintained through gradient pruning, with the gradient norm threshold set to 1.0. The scanning operation features a safety interlock design including an emergency stop button and light curtain protection, immediately halting transmission upon abnormal triggering. An expert adjustment interface for preset uniformity limits provides slider controls, allowing engineers to fine-tune based on experience. Persistent storage of real-world quality state parameters utilizes a time-series database, with data points accompanied by timestamps and location tags. A / B testing of the environmental quality correlation model employs a blue-green deployment scheme, running the old and new models in parallel for comparison. Convergence diagnosis of the parameter update model uses the Gelman-Rubin statistic, with convergence determined when the statistic is less than 1.1. The quality uniformity measurement alarm threshold is set with multiple levels: a yellow alert triggers a review, and a red alert triggers a shutdown. The detection device's status monitoring integrates a vibration sensor, automatically pausing scanning when vibration exceeds limits. Internal response information is backed up using an off-site disaster recovery solution, synchronizing to cloud storage every ten minutes. Access control for real-world quality status parameters employs role-based access control, allowing quality inspectors to read and engineers to write. The feature cross-referencing in the environmental quality correlation model utilizes multinomial expansion to generate interaction terms for temperature and humidity. Distributed training of the parameter update model uses the AllReduce communication mode, synchronizing gradient information between nodes. The obstacle avoidance algorithm for the scanning path employs an artificial potential field method to avoid areas with dense rebar. Automatic optimization of the preset uniformity limit uses a reinforcement learning algorithm, with detection efficiency as the reward function. Version tracking of real-world quality status parameters uses blockchain notarization, recording the hash value of each parameter modification. Fairness constraints in the environmental quality correlation model include statistical parity conditions to prevent discrimination caused by environmental parameter bias. Uncertainty quantification in the parameter update model uses the Monte Carlo Dropout method, outputting the parameter prediction interval. Trend prediction for quality uniformity measurement uses the ARIMA model, predicting uniformity changes three periods in advance. Lifetime prediction for the detection device uses the Weibull distribution model, estimating remaining lifespan based on runtime. Encrypted transmission of internal response information uses the AES-256 algorithm, with the key rotating hourly. Laplace noise is added to the differential privacy protection of the true quality state parameters, and the privacy budget is set to 0.1.
[0032] Example 2: See Figure 3When using a parameter update model for iterative processing, the following actions are performed: First, the true mass characteristic parameters are compared with the initial mass characteristic parameters. The true mass characteristic parameters are derived from the sound velocity values and attenuation coefficient matrix collected by the sensor array during the current scanning cycle, while the initial mass characteristic parameters are the sound velocity reference values and attenuation reference values calculated in the previous iteration. Second, the difference parameters for the current iteration cycle are identified. These difference parameters are obtained through element-wise vector subtraction, and the calculation results form a difference matrix. Third, the corresponding correction weight parameters for the current iteration cycle are obtained. These correction weight parameters are weight coefficient matrices with the same dimensions as the difference matrix. Fourth, the difference parameters are scaled using the correction weight parameters. The scaling process involves the Hadamard product of the weight coefficient matrix and the difference matrix, generating a correction matrix for the initial mass characteristic parameters. Fifth, the correction is applied to the initial mass characteristic parameters. This application operation is represented by matrix addition, thus updating the mass characteristic parameters after each iteration.
[0033] The method for obtaining the corresponding correction weight parameters for the current iteration cycle is as follows: Summarize the direction, magnitude, and tendency of difference changes for all detection locations within the current iteration cycle, along with the coordinates of the grid cells corresponding to the concrete surface at each detection location. The direction of difference change is determined by the sign function of the parameter change value, the magnitude of difference change is calculated using the absolute value of the parameter change, and the tendency of difference change is obtained by calculating the slope of the parameter change over three consecutive iteration cycles. Based on the direction, magnitude, and tendency of difference changes for each detection location, an iterative state vector is constructed for each location. This iterative state vector is a three-dimensional vector containing a direction code, a normalized magnitude value, and a tendency angle value. Using the iterative state vector as the search key, the corresponding correction weight is found in a pre-prepared list of correction weights, which is stored as a key-value pair database. Based on the correction weights for each detection location, the correction weight parameters for the current iteration cycle are assembled. The assembly process uses a spatial interpolation algorithm to fill in the blank areas of the grid.
[0034] The revised weight list is constructed based on the offline training phase, with training data derived from standard tests on laboratory concrete specimens. The dimensional expansion of the iterative state vector incorporates environmental parameters, with temperature gradients and humidity changes as additional dimensions. Fuzzy logic is introduced to determine the direction of difference changes; changes with absolute values less than a threshold are considered directionless. Logarithmic scaling is used to dynamically adjust the magnitude of difference changes, accommodating parameter variations with large magnitudes. Exponentially weighted moving averages are used for long-term tracking of difference change tendencies, assigning higher weights to recent data. Incremental learning is employed to update the revised weight list, with new detection data progressively optimizing the weight mapping. L2 penalty terms are added to the regularization of the weight coefficient matrix to prevent overfitting. Preprocessing of the difference matrix includes outlier detection, with Grubbs 2 testing to remove significant outliers. The numerical stability of the Hadamard product operation is ensured through scaling factors to avoid floating-point underflow. Kahan's summation algorithm is used to control rounding errors in matrix addition operations, compensating for accumulated errors. A dynamic adjustment strategy is used for mesh generation at detection locations, automatically increasing mesh density in areas with dense defects. The transmission of iterative state vectors employs compressed encoding, with a lossy compression ratio of 10:1 to balance accuracy and efficiency. Distributed storage of the corrected weight list utilizes a consistent hashing algorithm, with data shards stored across multiple nodes. Spatiotemporal correlation analysis of the direction of difference changes uses a Markov model to predict the trend of changes in the next cycle. Gaussian mixture models are used to fit the probability distribution of the magnitude of difference changes to identify typical change patterns. Multi-scale analysis of the tendency of difference changes uses wavelet transform to separate long-term trends from short-term fluctuations. Reliability assessment of the corrected weight parameters uses a confidence propagation algorithm, triggering a review scan in low-confidence regions. Sparsity of the weight coefficient matrix is achieved through threshold pruning, with elements having an absolute value less than 1e-6 forced to zero. Rank estimation of the difference matrix uses singular value decomposition, automatically increasing sampling points when the rank is insufficient. Hardware acceleration of the Hadamard product operation is implemented using an FPGA, with 1024 parallel computing units.
[0035] The persistent storage of the iterative state vector adopts a columnar storage format, facilitating batch analysis of historical iteration data. Version management of the corrected weight list employs multi-version concurrency control, supporting rolling rollback operations. Cluster analysis of the direction of difference changes uses the DBSCAN algorithm to identify spatial clustering patterns. Quantile statistics of the magnitude of difference changes use a t-digest structure to calculate percentile values in real time. Abrupt change detection of difference change trends uses a CUSUM control chart to promptly detect abnormal parameter jumps. Uncertainty quantification of corrected weight parameters uses the Monte Carlo method to generate a probability distribution of weight values. Condition number monitoring of the weight coefficient matrix uses SVD decomposition, triggering matrix reconstruction when the condition number is too high. Parallel decomposition of the difference matrix uses the LU decomposition algorithm, utilizing GPU acceleration. Automatic differentiation of the Hadamard product operation supports backpropagation, facilitating integration with neural networks. Memory access optimization for matrix addition operations uses a cache block strategy to improve cache hit rate.
[0036] The coordinate registration of concrete testing points utilizes a total station measurement system, achieving millimeter-level accuracy in 3D coordinates. Visualization of the iterative state vector employs a 3D scatter plot, with color mapping representing vector magnitude. The query interface for the corrected weight list provides a RESTful API, supporting remote service calls. Spatial autocorrelation calculation of the direction of difference changes uses the Moran exponent; a rescan is initiated when the exponent exceeds 0.7. Spatial interpolation of the magnitude of difference changes uses the radial basis function method, with the interpolation radius adaptively adjusted based on the grid size. Prediction of the tendency of difference changes utilizes a long short-term memory network, with the input sequence length set to 10 cycles. Online learning of the corrected weight parameters employs stochastic gradient descent, with the learning rate dynamically adjusted based on the convergence speed. Eigenvalue analysis of the weight coefficient matrix uses a power iteration method, with the dominant eigenvector guiding the parameter update direction. Rank-one updates of the difference matrix utilize the Sherman-Morrison formula, avoiding full matrix inversion. Numerical precision control of the Hadamard product operation employs Kahan compensated summation to reduce accumulated rounding errors.
[0037] Principal component analysis is used for dimensionality reduction of the iterative state vector, retaining 95% of the variance in the component dimensions. Backup and recovery of the corrected weight list utilizes a multi-site active-active architecture, achieving 99.99% data reliability. Pattern recognition of the direction of difference changes employs a convolutional neural network with four convolutional layers. Anomaly detection of the magnitude of difference changes uses the isolated forest algorithm, with an anomaly score threshold set at 0.65. Frequency domain analysis of the tendency of difference changes uses Fast Fourier Transform to identify periodic fluctuation components. Distributed computation of corrected weight parameters uses the MapReduce framework, processing grid partitions during the mapping phase. Pathological diagnosis of the weight coefficient matrix uses condition number monitoring; regularization is triggered when the condition number exceeds 1E10. Low-rank approximation of the difference matrix uses a random projection method, with approximation error controlled within 5%. Energy consumption optimization for Hadamard product operations uses dynamic voltage and frequency adjustment, regulating power consumption based on computational load. Fault-tolerant design for matrix addition operations employs triple module redundancy, ensuring that single-point failures do not affect system operation.
[0038] See Figure 4In the parameter iterative correction process of the concrete internal quality detection method in the complex environment of water diversion tunnels, the correction effects of sound velocity parameters and attenuation coefficients are comprehensively displayed through the time-series variation curves of the absolute difference values. Difference quantification is achieved by calculating the absolute values of the sound velocity difference and the attenuation coefficient difference. Before correction, the peak difference in the sound velocity parameter reached 180 m / s (cycle 3), which decreased to 130 m / s after correction. Before correction, the difference in the attenuation coefficient fluctuated between 0.2 and 1.0 dB / m, and after correction, the multi-cycle error was less than 0.1 dB / m. The correction algorithm is driven by the difference parameters, which are obtained through vector subtraction of the actual quality characteristic parameters and the initial quality characteristic parameters. The correction weight parameters are then applied for Hadamard product scaling to generate the correction matrix. Iterative weight adjustment relies on the dynamic query of the iterative state vector. The vector construction includes normalization processing of the direction, amplitude, and tendency of difference changes, ensuring that the difference decreases by more than 30% in key cycles (such as cycles 8 and 14) after correction, highlighting the robustness of the parameter update model in complex environments. In the parameter configuration, the tolerance limit is set as the difference threshold, the iteration termination condition is that the difference is less than the limit, and the mesh generation and weight assembly adopt spatial interpolation optimization.
[0039] Example 3: After obtaining the calibrated quality characteristic parameters, the method further implements a solution for each environmental scenario. Combining the corresponding initial and calibrated quality characteristic parameters, the method calculates the quality fitting coefficient parameters for each environmental scenario. These coefficients characterize the transformation relationship from the initial state to the calibrated state. Based on each environmental scenario and its quality fitting coefficient parameters, an environmental quality mapping model is created, establishing a correspondence between environmental conditions and parameter transformation laws. The step of modifying the calibrated quality characteristic parameters using quality difference parameters includes retrieving the quality fitting coefficient parameters corresponding to the target state through the environmental quality mapping model. The retrieval process is based on environmental feature vector matching. The quality fitting coefficient parameters are used to correct the quality difference parameters. The correction operation maps the quality difference parameters to the transformation space, obtaining the correction amount for the calibrated quality characteristic parameters. The correction amount is applied to modify the calibrated quality characteristic parameters, maintaining the integrity of the physical meaning of the parameters, resulting in the modified quality characteristic parameters.
