Abstract
This invention provides a method for detecting the volume of sediments in hydraulic tunnels based on cross-sectional geometric inversion. Step S1: Collect three-dimensional point cloud data of the hydraulic tunnel and perform noise reduction processing; Step S2: Extract the tunnel axis from the noise-reduced three-dimensional point cloud data using the upper half-section weighted centroid method, and establish a local coordinate system along the tunnel axis; Step S3: Extract the cross-sectional point cloud along the tunnel axis, and separate the cross-sectional point cloud into a wall point set and a sediment point set through iterative fitting and residual separation, fitting the complete cross-sectional curve with the wall point set; Step S4: Calculate the difference between the fitted cross-sectional area of the complete cross-sectional curve and the actual cavity area formed by the cross-sectional point cloud to obtain the sediment cross-sectional area; Step S5: Integrate the sediment cross-sectional area along the tunnel axis to obtain the total sediment volume.
