Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, 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.

[0019] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for modeling a mine is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0020] This embodiment provides a method for modeling a mine, such as... Figure 1As shown, the method includes the following steps: S101. Obtain topographic data of the mined-out area.

[0021] S102. Based on terrain data, a fault model is constructed using interpolation.

[0022] S103. Based on topographic data, construct a thin-layer ore model using the spectral characteristics of thin-layer ore.

[0023] S104. Merge the fault model and the thin-layer ore strip model to determine the mine model corresponding to the goaf.

[0024] This invention provides a method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for modeling mines. The method involves acquiring topographic data of a goaf; constructing a fault model based on the topographic data using interpolation; constructing a thin-layer ore vein model based on the spectral characteristics of the thin-layer ore veins; and fusing the fault model and the thin-layer ore vein model to determine the mine model corresponding to the goaf. In this process, the fault model is constructed using topographic data and interpolation to form fault constraint surfaces. Furthermore, by utilizing the spectral characteristics of the thin-layer ore veins to construct a thin-layer ore vein model, the accuracy of thin-layer ore vein boundary identification is enhanced. Based on this, the spatial distribution of faults and the distribution patterns of thin-layer ore veins are identified, replacing traditional manual interactive modeling, constructing an adaptive 3D mesh model, and improving the accuracy of the constructed mine model.

[0025] In one alternative implementation, a fault model is constructed based on terrain data using an interpolation method, including: Based on topographic data, fault attribute data of the goaf is determined; the fault attribute data is input into a trained graph convolutional network to determine the fault location; based on the fault location, the rock strata interface is determined using interpolation; based on the rock strata interface and topographic data, a fault model is constructed.

[0026] Specifically, fault attribute data includes: fault coordinates, inflection point coordinates, extension depth, profile morphology, borehole number (i.e., stratigraphic information), strike, dip, etc.

[0027] Specifically, inputting fault attribute data into a trained graph convolutional network to determine fault location means that after the fault attributes, such as fault coordinates, inflection point coordinates, extension depth, profile shape, borehole number (i.e., stratigraphic information), strike, and dip, are presented in three dimensions in the software, the graph convolutional network (GCN) is applied to predict the location of unmarked faults.

[0028] Specifically, determining the rock strata interface based on the fault location and using interpolation means using the fault as the boundary and employing the Kriging interpolation method to supplement the rock mass data on both sides of the fault to clarify the rock strata interface.

[0029] Specifically, constructing a fault model based on rock interface and topographic data refers to generating fault constraint surfaces based on borehole displacement anomalies and seismic profile data.

[0030] In this process, a three-dimensional point cloud database was established, a fault topology analysis framework was built, the spatial distribution of faults was extracted, and the fault slip distance compensation relationship was introduced to dynamically correct the connection relationship of mineral strips on both sides of the fault and quantify the impact of fault displacement on the continuity of rock strata.

[0031] In one alternative implementation, the method further includes: Using radial basis functions, the deformation weight of the fault on the surrounding rock strata is calculated; based on the deformation weight, the fault model is adjusted.

[0032] Specifically, after determining the fault constraint surface, the radial basis function (RBF) is used to calculate the deformation weight of the fault on the surrounding rock strata, thereby dynamically adjusting the curvature of the stratigraphic interface with the calculated deformation weight to achieve iterative updating of the fault constraint surface.

[0033] In one alternative implementation, a thin-layer ore model is constructed based on topographic data and utilizing the spectral characteristics of the thin-layer ore, including: Based on topographic data, sensitive areas of thin-layer ore strips are identified by utilizing their spectral-geometric properties. Based on these sensitive areas, a thin-layer ore strip model is constructed using a trained convolutional neural network.

[0034] Specifically, since ore strips below the minimum mineable thickness are usually discontinuous and easily confused with interbedded rocks, which is detrimental to resource calculation and mining, it is necessary to manually identify thin ore strips in each borehole profile. In this process, sensitive areas of the ore strips are identified through spectral-geometric joint features.

[0035] Specifically, constructing a thin-layer ore strip model based on sensitive areas and utilizing a trained convolutional neural network refers to increasing the voxel resolution to 0.1m × 0.1m × 0.05m in the ore strip region. Thin-layer ore strip extraction is achieved by segmenting core images and geophysical data using a U-Net network. The software inputs attributes such as the borehole number traversed by the ore strip (i.e., stratigraphic information), thickness, morphology, strike, dip, and surrounding rock type, and labels the spatial location of the thin-layer ore strip. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is then used to train the thin-layer ore body feature classification, thus completing the construction of the thin-layer ore strip model.

[0036] In this process, a multi-scale convolutional network is used to distinguish between ore strands and surrounding rock, enhancing the boundary identification accuracy of thin-layer ore strands (0.2-1m thick), correcting the thin-layer interpolation algorithm, and increasing the thickness stability of ore strands in sparse borehole areas, thereby achieving automatic delineation of thin-layer (<1m) ore bodies.

[0037] In one optional implementation, the fault model and the thin ore strip model are fused to determine the mine model corresponding to the goaf, including: using an unstructured tetrahedral network to perform topology checking on the fault region corresponding to the fault model and the thin ore strip region corresponding to the thin ore strip model to determine the mine model corresponding to the goaf.

[0038] Specifically, the fault model and the thin-layer ore strip model are fused through an implicit surface algorithm, and adaptive mesh generation is performed. In this process, an unstructured tetrahedral mesh is used to refine the mesh to sub-meter resolution in the fault and thin-layer regions. The model topology is checked and logically corrected in conjunction with the goaf area.

[0039] In this process, by integrating geological exploration data (drilling, geophysical exploration, UAV oblique photography, etc.) with historical mining data, and using machine learning algorithms such as random forest algorithms, the spatial distribution of faults and the distribution patterns of thin mineral strips are automatically identified, thereby replacing traditional manual interactive modeling and constructing an adaptive three-dimensional mesh model, that is, a mine model corresponding to the goaf.

[0040] In one optional implementation, acquiring topographic data of the goaf includes: The collected multi-source data is input into the 3D modeling system and combined with the historical mining data corresponding to the goaf area to construct an initial point cloud model; the data coordinate system of the initial point cloud model is unified.

[0041] Specifically, the multi-source data includes: high-precision DEM generated by UAV oblique photogrammetry, borehole core data, geophysical inversion data, and geophysical exploration data. The MapGIS mine management and 3D modeling software is used to input borehole core attributes (including borehole coordinates, length, number of runs, stratification information, lithology, grade, and sample information), geophysical inversion data, geophysical exploration data, and historical mining data to construct an initial point cloud model for the database. An interpolation algorithm is then used to enhance the data richness.

[0042] Specifically, the data coordinate system of the unified initial point cloud model is represented by the following formula: , ,

[0043] in, X ` i Representing the unified x Axis coordinates X i Indicates the original mine x Axis coordinates Y ` i Representing the unified y Axis coordinates Yi Indicates the original mine y Axis coordinates H ` i This represents the unified coordinate elevation. H i This indicates the original mine's coordinates and elevation. a , b , c , d , e, f These represent the corresponding average simplified transformation coefficients.

[0044] In one alternative implementation, the method further includes: Obtain actual mining data; use analysis of variance to compare with the actual data and adjust the mine model.

[0045] Specifically, by acquiring actual mining data and comparing it with the actual mining data using Kriging variance analysis, the model is validated and optimized by cross-validating the reserves of industrial blocks. This verifies the accuracy of the virtual exploration data synthesized by Kriging interpolation, fills in data-sparse areas, and achieves iterative optimization of the model by continuously adjusting the interpolation parameters.
