Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of landslide investigation technology, and in particular to a three-dimensional investigation method for low-amplitude brittle deformation landslide areas. Background Technology
[0002] In related technologies, loose deposit slopes in mountainous areas are prone to low-amplitude brittle deformation. The early changes in surface morphology of such deformation are weak and below the threshold that can be discerned by the human eye, resulting in a blurred deformation mechanism and difficulty in early identification, which poses a great challenge to geological disaster early warning and risk prevention and control.
[0003] Among existing surface deformation monitoring technologies, interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) technology can achieve large-scale monitoring, but its spatial resolution is low (usually >30 meters), making it difficult to identify deformation features with centimeter-level precision, and it is easily affected by vegetation cover, leading to unwrapping failure. Traditional ground survey methods are inefficient and cannot achieve large-scale, non-contact monitoring. Conventional UAV photogrammetry technology lacks the ability to penetrate vegetation, and its point cloud accuracy and terrain characterization capabilities are insufficient, making it difficult to meet the requirements for fine detection of low-amplitude brittle deformation.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a three-dimensional survey method that combines high precision, high efficiency, and wide coverage to achieve early identification, deformation quantification, and mechanism analysis of low-amplitude brittle deformation landslide areas, and to provide technical support for geological disaster risk assessment and early warning. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address or partially address the problems existing in related technologies, this application provides a three-dimensional stereoscopic investigation method for low-amplitude brittle deformation landslide areas, aiming to solve the problems of difficulty in early identification of deformation on loose deposit slopes in mountainous areas, low accuracy of deformation quantification, and insufficient analysis of deformation mechanisms.
[0006] This application provides a three-dimensional stereoscopic investigation method for low-amplitude brittle deformation landslide areas, including: A dual-platform collaborative operation mode was adopted, using drones equipped with lidar systems and drones with integrated RTK modules to conduct at least three phases of aerial surveys of the target landslide area to acquire point cloud data and multi-view image data; An improved progressive densification triangulation filtering algorithm is used to filter the acquired raw point cloud data, removing non-ground noise points such as vegetation and artificial buildings, and retaining bare ground points. The improved progressive densification triangulation filtering algorithm includes multi-scale seed point optimization, terrain adaptive parameter adjustment, and edge protection mechanism. Based on the 3D modeling platform, motion restoration and 3D reconstruction of structure are performed on preprocessed point cloud data and image data. Combined with the spatial analysis module, a high-resolution spatial model is generated, including digital elevation model, digital surface model and orthophoto. Point cloud data is classified using point cloud data processing software and constructed with the 3D modeling platform. Deformation analysis involves spatial registration of multi-period digital elevation model data using the DEM difference analysis module in the spatial analysis module, elimination of system offset by least squares surface fitting algorithm, generation of digital elevation difference model, calculation of three-dimensional displacement vector, and quantification of settlement, displacement rate and topographic parameter evolution characteristics of the target area. Based on the generated high-resolution model, three types of brittle gravity deformation regions were identified: stepped scarps, tensile fracture networks, and erosion gully diversion. Combined with the coupling relationship between surface roughness and slope angle, active deformation regions were determined. Mineral composition was used to assist in verification. Soil samples were collected from the target area, and the clay mineral content was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. Combined with hydrological data and tectonic stress conditions, the physicochemical mechanism of deformation instability was revealed. Based on deformation thresholds and geological parameters, a landslide disaster risk assessment and early warning model is constructed, and monitoring reports and risk maps are output.
[0007] Optionally, in some implementations, acquiring point cloud data and multi-view image data includes: The flight plan adopts a terrain-following flight mode, based on professional aerial survey software, and is equipped with multi-angle aerial photography. The forward-looking camera has an angle of -60° and a path direction of 60°, the rear-looking camera has an angle of -60° and a path direction of 150°, the left-looking camera has an angle of -60° and a path direction of 330°, and the right-looking camera has an angle of -60° and a path direction of 240°. The terrain-following flight mode is set at an altitude of 100m, with a heading overlap rate of ≥80% and a lateral overlap rate of ≥80%. It maintains a constant relative altitude between the aircraft and the ground surface in real time and generates the optimal three-dimensional trajectory scheme based on terrain features. After completing the flight path planning, the flight path parameters and elevation data are synchronized to the cloud database and then directly imported into the flight control system for execution via terminal devices; For complex terrain scenarios, it integrates global 1 arc-second resolution elevation data to dynamically construct a 3D terrain model. When a sudden change in elevation is detected, the flight control system adjusts the flight altitude in real time according to a preset safety threshold, effectively avoiding flight risks caused by sudden changes in terrain while ensuring the accuracy of terrain-following flight.

Specifically, generating a high-resolution spatial model includes: The preprocessed point cloud data and multi-view image data are imported into the 3D modeling platform to perform motion recovery structure 3D reconstruction and generate the initial point cloud model. By combining ArcGIS Pro's spatial analysis module, we completed joint adjustment and dense matching of multi-view images, generating a digital elevation model (DEM), a digital surface model (DSM), and an orthophoto (DOM) with a spatial resolution of 0.1m.

Specifically, deformation analysis includes: The DEM difference analysis module of the spatial analysis module spatially registers multiple DEM data in 8FDB rows, forcibly unifying them to a 0.1-meter resolution grid system. The least squares surface fitting algorithm is used to eliminate system offset. After completing the spatial registration of the multi-period digital elevation model, a set of reference points located in a stable region is selected as the fitting sample.

Using the elevation difference of the reference points as the observation, a low-order polynomial surface model is constructed. The surface parameters are solved by the least squares method to obtain a trend surface reflecting the characteristics of systematic elevation offset.

After obtaining multi-period digital elevation difference models, a local terrain coordinate system is constructed based on the terrain surface normal vector and local slope attitude information. Pixel-level or grid-level elevation differences are considered as vertical displacement components, and the displacement components are transformed from the local terrain coordinate system to a unified three-dimensional spatial coordinate system using the Rodrigues rotation formula. This yields the three-dimensional displacement vector corresponding to each spatial location, including vertical and horizontal displacement components, thereby achieving a quantitative calculation of the true three-dimensional deformation characteristics of the target area.
