[0002] Geological fractures refer to natural or artificial fractures caused by factors such as stress generated by crustal movement, weathering and erosion of rocks, dissolution of underground water, and human engineering activities such as mining and tunnel excavation. Accurate fracture size data helps to effectively assess and prevent geological disasters, ensure the safety of engineering structures, and help geologists and engineers accurately determine the stability of rocks or strata, providing key basis for the design and construction of underground engineering. With the development of electromagnetic wave detection technology, geological radar is increasingly widely used in geological fracture detection.

However, when the fracture is filled with other substances (such as water, mud, etc.) due to dissolution of underground water or underground engineering, the electromagnetic properties of the filling material are different, which affects the reflection characteristics of electromagnetic waves at the fracture, changes the reflection characteristics of electromagnetic waves at the fracture, and causes measurement errors.

[0021] In the following description, different "one embodiment" or "another embodiment" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments may be combined in any suitable form.

[0022] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or". For example, A / B can mean A or B. The "and / or" in the text is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present invention, "multiple" means two or more.

[0023] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will recognize that, with technological advancements and the emergence of new scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0026] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details a specific scheme for a high-precision measurement method and system for crack dimensions provided by the present invention.

[0027] Example 1: Please see Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of a high-precision crack dimension measurement method according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes the following steps: S10. Real-time acquisition of ground-penetrating radar data is achieved by using electromagnetic waves of multiple preset frequencies, and the acquired ground-penetrating radar data is preprocessed.

[0028] First, based on the geological conditions of the measurement area, such as rock type and possible fracture depth, select at least two or more radar antennas of different frequencies to construct a multi-frequency integrated acquisition device. Different frequencies of electromagnetic waves have different characteristics. Low-frequency electromagnetic waves have strong penetrating power and are suitable for detecting deep fractures; high-frequency electromagnetic waves have high resolution and can clearly capture details of shallow fractures. Specifically, electromagnetic waves of frequencies such as 50MHz, 100MHz, 250MHz, 500MHz, and 1GHz can be selected, or the choice can be made according to actual needs.

[0029] Furthermore, after activating the multi-frequency integrated acquisition device, within the preset measurement area, the measurement lines should be arranged as perpendicular as possible to the crack extension direction. For large areas, a grid-like arrangement can be used to enhance the energy of the crack reflection signal, thereby acquiring data. Specifically, the multi-frequency integrated acquisition device can be installed on a measurement vehicle, and the scanning speed can be controlled, for example, 0.2–0.5 m / s, to ensure continuous sampling. The sampling interval can also be controlled, for example, 1–5 cm, to meet the identification requirements of cracks of different widths. The measurement vehicle is moved at a constant speed along the measurement line, and the multi-frequency integrated acquisition device is activated to emit multi-frequency electromagnetic waves. The propagation time of each frequency reflected wave is recorded in real time, i.e., the time from emission to reception of the electromagnetic wave, which is used for subsequent calculation of depth and amplitude information, i.e., the intensity of the reflected signal, reflecting the differences in the medium interface. The data is also stored immediately to avoid data loss.

[0030] Furthermore, the collected ground-penetrating radar data undergoes preprocessing. Invalid data segments refer to meaningless data resulting from equipment power outages, severe vibrations, etc., during the acquisition process, and must be thoroughly reviewed and removed. Inherent system noise is interference signals generated by the operation of the radar equipment's own electronic components, which can be removed using filtering techniques such as low-pass filtering and band-pass filtering. Repeated background reflections are repeated reflection signals from non-crack areas such as the ground and fixed rock strata, which are identified and removed through signal comparison to highlight effective signals related to cracks. High-frequency clutter is external electromagnetic interference, such as high-voltage lines and radio signals. Low-frequency drift is the slow baseline shift of the signal over time, which requires time-domain filtering, such as moving average filtering, or frequency-domain filtering, such as Fourier transform filtering, to suppress and improve signal clarity. Finally, due to the large differences in the initial amplitude of signals at different frequencies, it is necessary to analyze the signal strength of each frequency data and adjust the gain curve, such as amplifying weak signals and suppressing excessively strong signals, to unify the amplitude range of radar profile signals at different frequencies, ensuring consistency and comparability, and facilitating subsequent multi-frequency data comparison and analysis.

[0031] S11. Analyze the differences in reflection characteristics of electromagnetic waves of different frequencies at different depths of geological fractures, and classify the depth layers of geological fractures.

[0032] First, the reflection signals related to geological fractures were extracted from preprocessed electromagnetic waves of different frequencies, and irrelevant interference signals were eliminated. For each frequency of electromagnetic wave signal, the reflection signal morphology at different depths of the geological fracture was analyzed one by one. Due to the differences in water content, clay content, and other components at different depths of the fracture, the dielectric constant changes, causing the electromagnetic propagation speed to deviate from the assumption. Consequently, different frequency signals exhibit different electromagnetic characteristics when penetrating the same structure: within the same geological composition range, the electromagnetic wave signal changes according to certain rules; when encountering different geological compositions, the change in dielectric constant leads to changes in reflection characteristics, manifested as abrupt changes in signal amplitude and waveform.

[0033] Specifically, the reflection characteristics of electromagnetic waves of each frequency at various depths of geological fractures are first analyzed to obtain the medium boundary characteristics corresponding to each depth. : in, Indicates the first In the detection of electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, the first Medium boundary characteristics at various depth locations; Indicates the first In the detection of electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, the first The fluctuation of reflected signals within a neighborhood of a depth location, for example, a neighborhood of 5 depth locations, that is, the variance of the amplitude of all reflected signals received at that location; Indicates the first In the detection of electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, the first Fluctuations in the reflected signal in the neighborhood on the other side of a depth location; express Indicates the first In the detection of electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, the first The overall fluctuation pattern of the reflected signals on both sides of a depth position indicates that the smaller the value, the more regular the changes in the signals on both sides. Indicates the first In the detection of electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, the first The larger the value of the difference in fluctuations on both sides of a depth location, the more likely there is a change in geological composition at that location, i.e., a boundary between different media.

[0034] Furthermore, by combining the dielectric boundary characteristics obtained from electromagnetic waves of all frequencies at each depth, the degree of stratification at each depth is calculated. : in, Indicates the first Degree of layering at each depth location; This indicates the total number of frequencies of the detected electromagnetic waves; Indicates the first In the detection of electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, the first Medium boundary characteristics at various depth locations; Indicates the first Electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency in the first Medium boundary characteristics at various depth locations.

[0035] Furthermore, the depth locations where the stratification exceeds a preset stratification threshold are designated as stratification points of the geological fracture. Continuous depth locations between two adjacent stratification points are divided into the same depth layer, thus completing the division of the geological fracture depth layers. The preset stratification threshold can be 0.7, or it can be adjusted according to actual needs. When the threshold of 0.7 is exceeded, it indicates that this depth location exhibits media boundary characteristics at all frequencies, and can be considered as the depth stratification point of the geological fracture, allowing for subsequent analysis of each layer separately. Simultaneously, by comparing the amplitude changes of electromagnetic wave reflection signals at different frequencies at the same depth location, the differences in waveform abrupt changes at the fracture interface are observed; the differences in the attenuation rate of different frequency signals with increasing depth are analyzed, revealing that high-frequency signals reflect rich details in shallow fracture regions, while low-frequency signals have strong penetrating power in deep fracture regions; the sensitivity of different frequencies to media boundaries is summarized, and their complementarity in reflecting fracture morphology is concluded.

[0036] S12. Obtain the reliability of electromagnetic waves of different frequencies propagating at different depth layers, and weight and fuse the electromagnetic propagation speed at each depth position based on the reliability to obtain the corrected electromagnetic propagation speed.

[0037] Specifically, if an electromagnetic wave of a certain frequency exhibits a strong regularity in its reflection characteristics with a small fluctuation amplitude as it penetrates a specific depth range, it indicates that the frequency is not sensitive to changes in the electromagnetic properties of the geological medium in that layer, meaning that the medium composition has a weak influence on its propagation. Such frequencies exhibit high signal stability in that depth layer and can be used as the preferred frequencies for extracting fracture information in that layer.

[0038] By analyzing the response characteristics of electromagnetic waves of different frequencies during propagation in underground media, their sensitivity to changes in geological composition is identified. : in, Indicates the first In the detection of electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, the first Sensitivity to changes in geological composition at different depths; This indicates the total number of different depths within each depth layer; Indicates the first In the detection of electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, the first In the depth layer, the first The standard deviation of the amplitude of the electromagnetic wave reflected signal at each depth location; Indicates the first In the detection of electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, the first The mean of the standard deviation of amplitude at all depth locations within a depth layer. The smaller the value, the less sensitive the frequency is to changes in the geological composition of the layer, and the stronger the signal stability.

[0039] When electromagnetic waves propagate through underground media, energy absorption and scattering occur due to the physical properties of the medium, such as conductivity, permittivity, and magnetic permeability, causing the signal amplitude to gradually attenuate with increasing propagation distance. The degree of attenuation varies significantly among different frequencies of electromagnetic waves in the medium. By analyzing the attenuation characteristics of electromagnetic wave signals at different depths and frequencies, the physical properties of fractured media in various geological strata and their impact on electromagnetic wave propagation can be revealed. Based on the reflected signal amplitudes of different frequencies in each geological layer, the attenuation characteristics of electromagnetic wave signals of different frequencies within the same geological layer can be obtained. : in, Indicates the first Electromagnetic wave signals of a certain frequency in the first Attenuation characteristics of geological composition changes at different depths; This indicates the total number of different depths within each depth layer; This indicates a normalization operation. Indicates the first In the detection of electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, the first In the depth layer, the first The amplitude difference between a depth position and its adjacent depth positions; Indicates the first In the detection of electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, the first In the depth layer, the first The amplitude difference between a depth position and its adjacent depth positions. The smaller the value, the weaker the signal attenuation at that frequency in that layer, and the better the penetration effect.

[0040] Furthermore, by comparing the sensitivity and attenuation characteristics of electromagnetic waves of different frequencies in fracture signals in adjacent geological layers, the measurement performance of each frequency at different depths can be comprehensively evaluated. Frequencies exhibiting lower sensitivity and weaker attenuation indicate that they accurately capture fracture characteristics in that layer, have strong anti-interference capabilities, and high measurement reliability. The reliability of each frequency for each geological depth layer is obtained as follows: Based on the sensitivity and attenuation characteristics of electromagnetic wave propagation at each frequency to changes in geological composition at each depth layer, the influence of geological composition at each depth layer on the propagation of electromagnetic wave signals at each frequency is obtained. : in, Indicates the first The geological composition changes at the depth layer affect the first The propagation effects of electromagnetic wave signals of various frequencies; Indicates the first In the detection of electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, the first Sensitivity to changes in geological composition at different depths; Indicates the first Electromagnetic wave signals of a certain frequency in the first The attenuation characteristics of geological composition changes at different depths. The larger the value, the smaller the influence of geological components on the propagation of this frequency.

[0041] Based on the influence of geological composition at each depth layer on the propagation of electromagnetic wave signals of each frequency, the reliability of electromagnetic wave signal propagation at each geological depth layer is obtained. : in, Indicates the first Electromagnetic wave signals of a certain frequency in the first Reliability of propagation at each deep layer; Indicates the first The degree of layering at the depth position of the layer boundary; Indicates the first The geological composition changes at the depth layer affect the first The propagation effects of electromagnetic wave signals of various frequencies; Indicates the first The changes in geological composition between adjacent depths at the first depth layer affect the... The average value of the propagation effect of electromagnetic wave signals of various frequencies. The larger the value, the more reliable the measurement results for that frequency in that layer.

[0042] Furthermore, based on the reliability of electromagnetic wave signal measurements at each frequency for each geological structure layer of the fracture, the electromagnetic propagation velocity at each geological fracture depth is weighted and fused: in, Indicates the first Corrected electromagnetic propagation velocity at each depth position; This represents the total number of frequencies of the detected electromagnetic wave signals; Indicates the first Electromagnetic wave signals of a certain frequency in the first The reliability of propagation at the depth layer where each depth location is located; Indicates the first Electromagnetic wave signals of a certain frequency in the first Electromagnetic propagation speed at a depth location.

[0043] S13. Based on the corrected electromagnetic propagation speed, the crack contour and boundary features are extracted using deep learning methods to construct a three-dimensional crack model, thereby enabling the measurement of the geological crack size.

[0044] First, a pre-trained U-shaped Network (U-Net) deep learning model is invoked to convert the final measurement data into signal data conforming to the model's input format. For example, time-amplitude data is converted into a two-dimensional matrix and input into the model. The model extracts features from the signal data through convolutional and pooling layers, identifying features related to geological reflection interfaces, such as abrupt changes in signal amplitude and waveform transitions. Based on these features, the location of reflection interfaces in different geological layers is automatically marked, initially locating areas where cracks may exist, typically manifested as discontinuous or abnormally curved reflection interfaces. The signals from the initially located crack areas are further processed to identify differences in signal characteristics at crack boundaries, such as differences in signal amplitude and propagation speed on both sides of the crack. Combined with common crack morphological features, such as straight lines, curves, and branching cracks, the initially outlined two-dimensional contour is optimized and adjusted to eliminate irregularities caused by noise, outputting the final reflection interface location data and crack two-dimensional contour data.

[0045] Furthermore, the corrected electromagnetic propagation speed obtained by multi-frequency fusion is utilized. A piecewise integration method is employed for time-depth conversion correction: the electromagnetic wave propagation time integral at each spatial location is converted into a corresponding depth value, establishing an accurate time-depth mapping relationship. This addresses the wave velocity variation problem caused by medium inhomogeneity and ensures accurate depth positioning of the reflection interface. Next, the two-dimensional profile data of the crack is converted into a three-dimensional crack volume using Kriging interpolation, forming a high-resolution three-dimensional model.

[0046] Finally, a preset visualization tool, such as GOCAD visualization tool, is invoked to analyze the 3D model and calculate the key dimensional parameters of the crack, including but not limited to length, i.e., the horizontal extension distance of the crack; width, i.e., the maximum distance of the crack perpendicular to the extension direction; and dip angle, i.e., the angle between the crack and the horizontal direction and the orientation, i.e. the direction of crack extension. Finally, the geological crack size measurement results containing these parameters are generated.

[0047] Example 2: Please see Figure 2 This illustrates a high-precision measurement system for crack dimensions provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the system comprising: The acquisition module 20 is used to acquire ground-penetrating radar data in real time through electromagnetic waves of multiple preset frequencies, and to preprocess the acquired ground-penetrating radar data. Analysis module 21 is used to analyze the differences in reflection characteristics of electromagnetic waves of different frequencies at different depths of geological fractures, and to divide the geological fracture depth layers. The calculation module 22 is used to obtain the reliability of electromagnetic waves of different frequencies propagating at different depth layers, and to perform weighted fusion of the electromagnetic propagation speed at each depth position based on the reliability to obtain the corrected electromagnetic propagation speed. The generation module 23 is used to extract the crack contour and boundary features based on the corrected electromagnetic propagation speed using deep learning methods to construct a three-dimensional crack model, thereby enabling the measurement of the geological crack size.
