Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of underground disease treatment technology, and in particular to a method for processing underground disease segmentation results based on three-dimensional ground-penetrating radar. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of urban infrastructure and the increasing complexity of underground pipelines, 3D ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is widely used for identifying underground defects in municipal roads due to its advantages such as non-destructive operation, strong imaging capabilities, and wide adaptability. Traditional GPR systems mainly focus on the acquisition and analysis of two-dimensional data, which is insufficient to meet the needs for three-dimensional reconstruction of spatial structures in complex scenarios. Therefore, 3D GPR systems have gradually become a hot topic in research and engineering applications.
[0003] Existing methods for automatic identification of underground defects based on 3D ground-penetrating radar data and deep learning algorithms generally fall into two categories: 2D / 3D detection and 2D / 3D segmentation. The 2D segmentation method requires merging segmentation masks from multiple radar signal channels to form a 3D segmentation mask. Subsequent methods, including 3D segmentation, require converting the 3D segmentation mask into defect instances; this process is typically called post-processing of the segmentation results. Existing methods have the following problems: one is directly merging all segmentation masks, which leads to a significant performance degradation and a poor user experience when dealing with large datasets; the other is partitioning all masks, which can result in a complete defect instance at the partition boundaries being split into defect instances belonging to multiple partitions. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for processing the segmentation results of underground diseases based on three-dimensional ground penetrating radar.

[0018] ;
[0019] in, For the reason The cluster group is formed by merging the clusters on its left and right, and its three adjacent clusters.
[0020] Preferably, step S2 further includes the following step:
[0021] S21: According to Find the corresponding 3D segmentation mask and convert the non-zero voxels of the 3D mask from mask voxel coordinates to physical space coordinates.

[0025] ;
[0026] in, This refers to all disease segmentation instances in this cluster group.
[0027] The present invention has the following advantages: The present invention performs overlapping clustering on the road segments corresponding to the data used for segmentation prediction, then clusters all spatially sparse point clouds corresponding to the 3D segmentation masks in each cluster, and finally deduplicates the point cloud clustering results to obtain disease instances. Thus, it performs overlapping and efficient partitioning based on the specific spatial distribution of road data, and performs DBSCAN clustering on the partitions. Even with a large amount of data, it can ensure clustering performance, thereby ensuring the integrity of disease instances at the partition boundaries and greatly reducing the area of repeated calculation, thus ensuring the processing speed of the algorithm.
