Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of elevation measurement technology, and in particular to a rapid method for measuring regional topographic elevation. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as engineering construction, topographic surveying, and precision laboratory testing, elevation measurement is a crucial foundational task for obtaining elevation information of ground points. Traditional elevation measurement methods typically rely on the combination of a level instrument and a leveling rod, requiring a three-person team: one person stands at the measuring point with the rod, one operates the instrument for observation, and the other records the data. This approach is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient. Each measuring point requires manual reading and recording, which is prone to significant human error due to operator fatigue, reading deviations, or the leveling rod not being strictly vertical. This makes it difficult to meet the dual demands of efficiency and accuracy required by modern engineering surveying.

[0003] With the development of satellite positioning technology, modern measurement methods such as GPS and GNSS-RTK are gradually being applied to elevation measurement, achieving a certain degree of automation and improved accuracy. For example, my country has established a regional precise elevation datum, which uses satellite positioning to replace traditional leveling. A Chinese patent, CN120352900A, published on July 22, 2025, discloses a GNSS-RTK-based topographic mapping method and system. This invention improves measurement efficiency and real-time performance in complex terrain through multipath suppression and dynamic data fusion. Meanwhile, the "Elevation Calculation Patent Based on Delaunay Triangulation Network" proposed by Southern Surveying and Mapping improves the processing accuracy and speed of large-scale topographic elevation data through triangulation network construction and spatial query optimization.

[0004] The shortcomings of existing technologies are that GNSS-based methods are poorly applicable in areas with severe obstruction or poor signal (such as indoor, underwater, or high-concentration suspended matter environments); while traditional optical instruments, although highly accurate, depend on line-of-sight conditions, are significantly limited by the environment and terrain, and require multiple people to cooperate in the measurement.

[0005] Therefore, developing a height measurement method that is highly adaptable, easy to operate, and can balance accuracy and efficiency remains an urgent need in the current surveying and mapping field. Summary of the Invention

[0026] S22. Superimpose the second standard block onto the first standard block, and read the value on the photosensitive array sensor again to obtain the second comparison data;

[0027] S23. Adjust the fine-tuning screw on the level by taking the difference between the first comparison data and the second comparison data and the difference between the thickness of the second standard gauge block, until the difference is less than 1mm.

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.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or server that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] This embodiment provides a method for rapid measurement of regional topographic elevation, the method including the following steps, such as... Figure 1 As shown:

[0057] S01. Arrange a laser level 11 within the measurement area, ensuring that its planar beam 9 can cover both the high and low points of the measurement area.

[0058] It should be noted that the number of laser levels 11 is determined according to the size of the measurement area, and the size of each measurement area is determined with a radius of 2m to 8m around the laser level 11. Furthermore, the laser level 11 selects its emission frequency band according to the lighting environment: red light source is selected when the lighting environment is good, and green light source is selected when the lighting environment is poor.

[0059] S02. Use standard gauge blocks to coarsely and finely adjust the laser level 11 to make the leveling error less than 1mm.

[0060] S03. Place the handheld measuring rod 8 on a known elevation benchmark point, input the current elevation benchmark point through the numeric keypad 5, and press and hold the first button 6 to complete the benchmark value conversion.

[0061] S04. Divide the area to be measured into multiple measurement sections, determine the number of measurement points and measurement intervals for each section, input the parameters into the computer, and then build a measurement bridge for measurement.

[0062] Specifically, the laser level 11 is arranged and leveled, reference value conversion is performed, and measurement section settings are established. Depending on the area and elevation variation required for measurement, appropriate points and heights are selected to place the laser level 11. The core measurement area is encompassed within a radius of 2m to 8m centered on the laser level 11. This area represents the optimal working zone for the level's horizontal beam. The level height is adjusted to ensure that the beam illuminates the photosensitive array sensor 1 of the handheld measuring rod 8 at both the lowest and highest points of the measurement area. After determining the positioning, the level is leveled. The level is used for coarse adjustment. After coarse adjustment, fine adjustment begins. The first standard gauge block is placed horizontally approximately ten meters from the laser level. The side rod is placed on the gauge block to read the value. A second standard gauge block is placed on top of the first, and the side rod is placed on the second gauge block to read the value. The difference between the two readings is compared to the thickness of the second gauge block. If the level is properly adjusted, the difference between the two readings and the thickness of the second gauge block should be less than 1mm. If the difference is greater than 1mm, the fine-tuning screws on the level are adjusted until the error between the measurement result and the gauge block value is less than 1mm. After leveling, the technician places the handheld measuring rod 8 on a nearby elevation benchmark. After an audio-visual prompt, the elevation of this benchmark is entered via the keyboard. Then, the first button 6 is pressed and held to convert all side rod measurements in the area into actual elevation values. At this point, with the laser level 11 in operation, subsequent side rod measurements will be the actual elevation values, requiring no further conversion. After the above preparations are completed, the underground area to be measured is divided into multiple measurement sections according to the experimental requirements. The number of measurement points and measurement intervals for each section are determined, and the above parameters are entered into the computer as data storage tags for each measurement point. After the measurement points of the section are planned, a measurement bridge is built according to the distribution of the section. The surveyors can reach the measurement point location along the measurement bridge without disturbing the terrain to be measured.

[0063] If coarse adjustment is performed using the built-in bubble level of the level, fine adjustment can begin after the coarse adjustment is completed. Place the first standard gauge block horizontally about ten meters away from the laser level, place the side rod on the standard gauge block and read the value. Place the second standard gauge block on the first standard gauge block, place the side rod on the second gauge block and read the value. Compare the difference between the two values ​​with the thickness value of the second standard gauge block. If the level has been leveled, the difference between the two values ​​and the thickness difference of the second standard gauge block should be less than 1mm. If the difference is greater than 1mm, adjust the fine adjustment screw on the level to fine adjust until the error between the measurement result and the gauge block value is less than 1mm.

[0064] S05. The handheld measuring rod 8 is moved along the measuring bridge to the measuring point. The handheld measuring rod 8 is then lowered vertically until the sound and light prompt module 3 issues a prompt, indicating that the interface has determined that the sensor 2 has contacted the terrain interface.

[0065] S06. Press the second button 7 to send the elevation and tilt data obtained from the measuring point to the computer for storage;

[0066] S07. Repeat steps S05 to S06 to complete the measurement of all measuring points of a cross section. Press and hold the second button 7 to switch to the next cross section and continue the measurement.

[0067] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the technician holds a handheld measuring rod 8 to the first measuring point of the first section, keeping the rod vertical and probing downwards until it reaches the terrain interface. If there is no indication, it means the rod has not touched the terrain interface, and the rod continues to descend until an audible and visual prompt is issued. If there is an audible and visual prompt, it means the rod has touched the terrain interface, and the rod stops descending. The technician then presses the second data transmission button to send the elevation and inclination data of this point to the computer. The computer records this data as the value of the first measuring point of the first section, and then repeats the above steps to measure the second point. After all measuring points of the first section are measured, the technician presses and holds the data transmission button to proceed to the next section measurement. The computer records the subsequent data for the second section or the next section. After leveling, the technician places the handheld measuring rod 8 on the elevation benchmark near the area. In this example, the measurement range is small, with only one benchmark. The benchmark elevation is 30.5cm. After the audio-visual prompt, the technician inputs the benchmark elevation via the keyboard and then presses and holds the first button 6 to convert the side rod measurements of the area into the actual elevation values. In the state of the laser level 11 at this point, the subsequent side rod measurements are all actual elevation values ​​and do not need to be converted again.

[0068] Measurement cross-section setup: The measurement area is rectangular. According to the test requirements, five equidistant measurement cross-sections are arranged within the measurement area. Ten points are measured at equal intervals on each measurement cross-section. The number of cross-sections and the number of measurement points on each cross-section are entered into the computer as data storage tags for each measurement point. After the cross-section measurement points are planned, a measurement bridge is built according to the cross-section distribution. Surveyors can reach the measurement point location along the measurement bridge without disturbing the terrain to be measured.

[0069] S08. Based on the tilt angle data recorded by the vertical sensor 4, tilt angle compensation is performed on the measured value. The compensation calculation formula is: V 补偿值 =V 实测值 -(U+W)cosα( Figure 4 ), where V 实测值 The measured value is the point value after elevation conversion, U is the measured value of the photosensitive array sensor, W is the distance from the measured value of the photosensitive array sensor to the lowest point of the interface sensor, and α is the angle between the side rod and the vertical line.

[0070] Specifically, in data compensation analysis, the side rod may not be in a vertical state during measurement, so it is necessary to compensate for the inclination angle of the measured value. The compensation calculation formula is as follows;

[0071] V compensation value = V measured value - (U + W)cosα

[0072] V compensation value is the point measurement value after angle compensation, V actual measurement value is the point measurement value after elevation conversion, U is the actual measurement value of photosensitive array sensor 1, W is the distance from the actual measurement value of photosensitive array sensor 1 to the bottom of the interface sensor, and α is the angle between the side rod and the vertical line recorded by vertical sensor 4.

[0073] It should be noted that if the measurement area is large and the measurement range of a single level cannot be covered, the measurement can be carried out in two ways. First, if there is only one handheld measuring rod 8, after measuring one area, move the level to the next area and repeat steps two to four to complete the data measurement. Second, if there are multiple handheld measuring rods 8, multiple laser levels 11 can be arranged in conjunction with the handheld measuring rods 8. After converting the reference elevation for each rod, the measurement can be carried out simultaneously to improve the measurement efficiency.

[0074] The measurement begins with the technician holding a probe and reaching the first measuring point on the first cross-section. The probe is held vertically and lowered until it reaches the terrain interface. If no indication is given, it means the probe has not touched the terrain interface; the probe continues to lower until an audible and visual alert is issued. If an audible and visual alert is issued, it means the probe has touched the terrain interface; the probe stops lowering, and the second data transmission button is pressed to send the elevation and dip data for this point to the computer. The computer records this data as the value of the first measuring point on the first cross-section. The above steps are then repeated to measure the second point. After all measuring points on the first cross-section have been measured, the data transmission button is pressed and held to proceed to the next cross-section. The computer records the subsequent data for the second or the next cross-section.

[0075] The measurement storage format is as follows:

[0076] Unit: centimeters (cm)

[0077]

[0078] The above measurement data are the actual measured values ​​after elevation conversion. During the measurement process, the measuring rod may not be perpendicular to the terrain to be measured 10, and tilt compensation is required. Taking the first measuring point as an example, the actual measured value after elevation conversion is 20.4cm, and the tilt angle during measurement is 1.2°. The compensation calculation formula is as follows;

[0079] V 补偿值 =V 实测值 -(U+W)sinα

[0080] The measured value is larger than the true value because it is tilted. The deviation caused by the tilt needs to be subtracted. U is 33.6cm, W is 100cm, sin(1.2°) is 0.0209, and the compensation difference is 113.6*0.0209=2.79cm. After compensation, the measured value is 20.4-2.79=17.61cm. The calculation method is the same for other measuring points.

[0081] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the laser level 11 is used to emit a plane light 9 of red or green light;

[0082] The lower end of the handheld measuring rod 8 is equipped with an interface judgment sensor 2;

[0083] The handheld measuring rod 8 is equipped with a photosensitive array sensor 1, a vertical sensor 4, an audio-visual prompt module 3, a numeric keypad 5, a first button 6, and a second button 7.

[0084] Specifically, it needs to be implemented in conjunction with a laser level 11 and a handheld measuring rod 8. The laser level 11 is a conventional level that can emit a horizontal light 9, with the emission frequency bands including red light (wavelength approximately 635 nanometers) and green light (wavelength approximately 515 nanometers). The lower end of the handheld measuring rod 8 is equipped with an interface judgment sensor 2. The rod body is equipped with a photosensitive array sensor 1, a vertical sensor 4, an audio-visual prompt module 3, a digital input keyboard, and two data setting buttons. It can also transmit data to a computer wirelessly. The interface judgment sensor 2 can determine whether the side rod touches the terrain. The photosensitive array sensor 1 can detect the specific position of the light spot on the rod body. The vertical sensor 4 can record the real-time tilt angle of the side rod. The audio-visual prompt module 3 can prompt whether the side rod touches the terrain interface. The numerical input keyboard can input the current reference elevation. One of the two buttons is the elevation modification confirmation button, and the other is the data transmission setting button. Based on the measurement method and the size of the measurement area, the number of laser levels 11 and the frequency band of the light source are determined. A suitable interface judgment sensor 2 is selected according to the terrain type of the area to be measured. Red light source is selected for measurement in good lighting conditions, and green light source is selected for measurement in poor lighting conditions. A single laser level 11 can measure a circular area with a radius of 10 meters. For dry beach terrain, a pressure-type interface judgment sensor is selected; for underwater terrain (low concentration), an optical interface judgment sensor is selected; and for underwater terrain (high concentration), an electrical interface judgment sensor is selected. Specifically, the interface judgment sensor 2 is selected according to the type of terrain to be measured as follows:

[0085] Pressure-type interface sensors are selected for dry beach terrain.

[0086] Low-concentration underwater terrain selection optical interface to determine sensor;

[0087] High-concentration underwater terrain selection electrical interface sensor.

[0088] This embodiment integrates a laser level 11 with a smart handheld measuring rod, enabling rapid measurement of regional terrain elevation by a single operator, significantly reducing labor and time costs and improving operational efficiency. During the measurement process, the photosensitive array sensor 1 automatically captures the position of the light spot, combined with the vertical sensor 4 for real-time tilt monitoring and compensation, effectively improving the accuracy and reliability of data measurement and reducing human error. Simultaneously, the audio-visual prompt module 3 and wireless data transmission function enable intelligent and automated operation, avoiding the tediousness and errors of traditional manual recording and ensuring data real-time performance and consistency. This invention has strong environmental adaptability, allowing for the selection of appropriate light sources and sensors based on different lighting conditions and terrain types. It is suitable for various complex terrain scenarios such as dry beaches and underwater environments, expanding its application scope. Whether for small-scale precision measurement or large-area rapid mapping, it can be flexibly carried out through single-device area-by-area measurement or multi-device synchronous measurement, significantly improving the overall efficiency and engineering practical value of terrain elevation measurement.

The number of laser level (11) in step S01 is determined according to the size of the measurement area, and the size of each measurement area is determined based on the laser level (11) as an area with a radius of 2m to 8m. The laser level (11) in step S01 selects the emission frequency band according to the lighting environment as follows: when the lighting environment is good, a red light source is selected, and when the lighting environment is poor, a green light source is selected. The interface judgment sensor (2) selects the type according to the type of terrain to be measured, specifically as follows: Pressure-type interface sensors are selected for dry beach terrain. Low-concentration underwater terrain selection optical interface to determine sensor; High-concentration underwater terrain selection of electrical interface sensor; In S02, fine-tuning the laser level (11) includes: S21. Place the first standard gauge block horizontally about ten meters away from the laser level (11), read the value on the photosensitive array sensor (1), and obtain the first comparison data; S22. Superimpose the second standard block on the first standard block, and read the value on the photosensitive array sensor (1) again to obtain the second comparison data; S23. Adjust the fine-tuning screw on the level by taking the difference between the first comparison data and the second comparison data and the difference between the thickness of the second standard gauge block, until the difference is less than 1mm. In step S02, the laser level (11) is arranged so that the plane light (9) emitted by it can illuminate the photosensitive array sensor (1) of the handheld measuring rod (8) located at the highest and lowest points of the measurement area.
