Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This specification relates to the field of slope deformation monitoring technology, and in particular to a method for monitoring slope deformation in open-pit mines based on time-series topographic parameters. Background Technology
[0002] Open-pit mining is an important part of my country's mining industry. Compared with underground mining, it has advantages such as lower cost, higher efficiency, and shorter cycle, and is a significant driving force for resource supply and improved economic benefits. With the continuous development of open-pit mines, the height and angle of slopes gradually increase. Slopes are susceptible to cumulative deformation and structural damage due to various factors such as geological structure, soil properties, rainfall, and blasting vibrations, thus affecting slope stability. Once an open-pit mine slope becomes unstable, it can cause a series of serious consequences, including casualties, equipment damage, production stoppages, and property losses, resulting in huge economic losses for the mine. Therefore, researching open-pit mine slope deformation monitoring methods, timely detection of slope anomalies, and the implementation of scientific prevention and control measures are of great significance to ensuring safe production in mines.
[0003] Existing technologies for monitoring slope deformation in open-pit mines mainly include InSAR time-series analysis based on single ascending or descending orbit SAR imagery, joint calculation of three-dimensional deformation using ascending and descending orbit data, and analysis aided by static topographic parameters. While these methods have some applications, they have significant drawbacks. Single-orbit SAR imagery can only obtain one-dimensional deformation results along the radar line of sight (LOS) direction. The method of jointly calculating three-dimensional deformation using ascending and descending orbit data relies on the one-dimensional deformation results from both radar line of sight (LOS) directions. Solving for deformation in the vertical, east-west, and north-south directions involves inherent uncertainty. Typically, simplified assumptions (such as ignoring north-south deformation) are used to constrain the model, which is often unsuitable for the complex slope movements in open-pit mines, leading to misjudgments of deformation direction and distortion of magnitude. Static topographic parameter-assisted analysis methods use a single-period digital elevation model (DEM) to calculate slope, aspect, and projection vector. However, continuous mining activities in open-pit mines (blasting, benching, spoil heap filling, etc.) cause drastic changes in surface topography on a monthly or even perimeter scale. If single-period DEM parameters are still used, they cannot reflect the true topographic changes, resulting in the inability to quickly capture potential landslide trends induced by changes in topographic parameters. Secondly, the stability of mine slopes is directly affected by changes in slope, aspect, and topographic curvature. Existing methods ignore the inherent coupling mechanism between these topographic parameters and deformation, relying only on the cumulative deformation threshold to judge risk, without coupling dynamic topographic parameters.
[0004] In summary, the shortcomings of existing open-pit mine slope deformation monitoring methods are mainly reflected in the mismatch between the dynamic mining environment and the static monitoring model, the lack of kinematic constraints in the three-dimensional deformation inversion method, the lag of terrain parameter updates behind engineering activities, and the failure to couple the synergistic effect of terrain deformation in risk assessment. These shortcomings make it difficult to meet the needs of refined management of open-pit mine slope stability, and have a significant impact on monitoring, early warning, and safe production. Summary of the Invention

This represents the noise term for the ascending track. This represents the noise term for the descending orbit.
[0111] S420: Based on the dynamic update results of time-series terrain parameters, a priori constraints on deformation direction are constructed using terrain parameter constraints.
[0112] Terrain parameter constraints are mathematical rules that use dynamically updated terrain parameters (slope, aspect, curvature) with clear physical meaning to limit and guide the three-dimensional deformation field inversion process. They mainly include constraints on deformation direction, deformation level, and deformation contribution weight.
[0113] Deformation direction prior constraints are used to predefine the possible directions of deformation based on terrain parameter constraints (i.e., dynamically updated terrain parameters) before solving for 3D deformation. These mainly include vertical deformation constraints, horizontal deformation constraints, and terrain curvature constraints.
[0114] In some embodiments, dynamically updated terrain curvature The main adjustment involves the relative weights of vertical and horizontal deformations in the model. The larger the stress concentration area (such as the shoulder or toe of a slope), the greater the contribution of horizontal deformation to the radar line-of-sight (LOS) deformation, and the smaller the contribution of vertical deformation.

[0124] The overdetermined equations are a set of equations that reflect the deformation of the radar line of sight and the adaptive deformation projection of the ground surface.
[0125] In some embodiments, the processor can construct a weighted least squares objective function, substitute the constraints into the ascending and descending orbit equations, and construct an overdetermined system of equations. .
[0126] In some embodiments, the objective function of the projection model is expressed as:
[0127] ;
[0128] ;
[0129] ;
[0130] ;
[0131] in, Minimization represents an optimization process that minimizes the value of an expression. This represents the terrain geometry weight matrix, used to define the covariance structure of the vertical and horizontal deformation components in the weighted least squares objective function. Represents the design matrix. This represents the three-dimensional deformation to be determined. Represents the observation vector. This represents the horizontal deformation weighting factor.

[0132] S5: Based on the one-dimensional deformation results of the slope along the radar line of sight and the dynamic update results of the time-series terrain parameters, the overdetermined equations of the three-dimensional deformation field are solved to obtain the deformation monitoring results of the open-pit mine slope, thus completing the monitoring of the deformation of the open-pit mine slope.
[0133] The results of open-pit mine slope deformation monitoring are calculated by using dynamic terrain parameters acquired by UAVs as constraints. This allows for the accurate calculation of the vertical (U), east-west (E), and north-south (N) deformation of each pixel, rather than just the fuzzy deformation of the single radar line-of-sight direction provided by traditional InSAR.
[0134] The results of open-pit mine slope deformation monitoring are correlated with changes in topographic parameters such as slope, aspect, and curvature at the same time scale. For example, based on the results, it can be inferred that due to blasting excavation this month, the slope of the area increased from 35° to 45°, and at the same time, the slip rate along the slope aspect (calculated based on the new slope aspect) of the area accelerated from 10 mm per month to 40 mm per month.
[0135] By utilizing open-pit mine slope deformation monitoring results, potential failure surfaces or stress concentration zones on the slope, such as the slope shoulder and toe, can be accurately located. For example, a three-dimensional deformation field clearly shows that the slope toe area mainly exhibits horizontal tensile cracking, while the slope crest area mainly exhibits vertical settlement. This differentiated deformation pattern provides direct evidence for analyzing landslide mechanisms and designing precise reinforcement measures.
[0136] In some embodiments, the processor can solve the overdetermined equations of the three-dimensional deformation field based on the one-dimensional deformation results along the radar line of sight and the dynamic update results of the time-series terrain parameters, to obtain the three-dimensional deformation variables U, E, N of each pixel point of the open-pit mine slope; based on the three-dimensional deformation variables of each pixel point, the slip trend is analyzed to obtain the open-pit mine slope deformation monitoring results, thus completing the monitoring of open-pit mine slope deformation.
[0137] The three-dimensional deformation of each pixel point on the open-pit mine slope includes U, E, and N; among them, the vertical deformation U reflects the slope settlement or uplift, and the horizontal deformation E and N are decomposed into slope-direction and transverse deformations in combination with the slope aspect.
[0138] In some embodiments of this specification, a method for monitoring slope deformation in open-pit mines based on time-series topographic parameters is provided. By integrating high-frequency UAV topographic monitoring with multi-track InSAR technology, a three-dimensional deformation field constrained by the actual geometric shape of the slope is established, solving the problem of insufficient accuracy in LOS-direction deformation monitoring caused by dynamic changes in slope and aspect. First, monthly-scale UAV oblique photogrammetry is used to dynamically acquire topographic parameters such as slope and aspect, ensuring that the topographic model is updated synchronously with mining activities. Second, based on the slope change, aspect angle, and topographic curvature, a priori constraints on the deformation direction are constructed, and an adaptive projection model of InSAR radar LOS-direction deformation and the three-dimensional deformation field of the surface is established. Finally, by fusing the three-dimensional deformation field and dynamic topographic parameters, the three-dimensional deformation of the mine is calculated, effectively improving the reliability, accuracy, and early warning timeliness of open-pit mine slope deformation monitoring, providing precise decision support for safe mining.
